I thought of this, but the gift bags make the gift look .... I dunno, paltry or insubstantial. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 16:54 12
- There's nothing like a gift bag to say "I was too lazy to wrap it" or "I have no hand-eye coordination." - loosilu Dec 9, 16:58 4
  - I do some gift bags--normally for weirdly sized items like, say a teddy bear--and they end up looking gorgeous with tissue, curling ribbon, etc. -- nm - Trish Dec 9, 17:24
  - SheFox puts together a gorgeous gift bag. She's tried to show me how. Mine always look dumb. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 17:00 1
    - some people have the knack. I don't. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 17:00
  - I have used them in the past. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 16:59

  - when your kid is old enough to open presents, she won't want bags. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 17:00 4
    - Lil' Vermin is going to learn real fast that you don't always get what you want. - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 17:03 3
      - you never saw a kid go nuts with the ripping. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 17:03 2
        
        When it's *your* kid, the appeal of the kid 'going nuts' isn't quite as great. - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 17:07 1
        
        I spend every Xmas with my nieces and nephews. The opening presents is the funnest thing ever. - loosilu Dec 9, 17:09
- Tissue paper, and lots of it. (nm) - musubi Dec 9, 16:56
