I definitely like gifts too, lol. Every so often I feel overwhelmed and throw
most boxes out but I can't resist so they "grow back".
Many times I had "just the right box" for that! 
Haha!! You sound just like me! We recycle the "normal" stuff, but gift boxes and gift bags are definitely kept, and reused. At Christmas, the bags and boxes are reused for the same people, because I use stick on labels! The kids and grandkids laugh at me, and they make jokes about it. I do not take it so far as my MIL did...she saved, ironed and reused wrapping paper!
