In our house, we use gift bags, which we know will make the rounds thru all three houses, two sons and a daughter. No one minds. We just take good care of them and throw them out when they just too old. Your idea is so cleaver and your write up, I loved it.

I went to my nieces shower last month. They were throwing all of the gift bags away. I took every one of them. I love the idea of potato chip bags turned inside out. I never thought of that. I will start saving them for Christmas
