I liked it, and I liked how the gifts from our family were identifiable when we went to my ILs. But. . . under our tree, having everything variations of brown was a little. . . plain. . .TulipGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491713586488210547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25418805.post-36754270151317899462006-11-11T15:51:00.000-06:002006-11-11T15:51:00.000-06:00The receiver keeps the bag.

And for winter birthdays, too (now that I think of it).<br /><br />I've given them to non-family members as well, and they've kept the bags - either to pass on or use themselves. One of my friends liked her bag so much (it was blue with wind-whipped snowflakes) that she kept her knitting supplies in it.<br /><br />That's so cute that Aidan liked them so much. :)a. borealishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245824881587347498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25418805.post-73462823641246585152006-11-11T00:22:00.000-06:002006-11-11T00:22:00.000-06:00What a fun idea :) So does the receiver keep the g...What a fun idea :) So does the receiver keep the gift bag or give it back to the giver? Thanks for the tip, Aidan was very impressed, he wanted to see them closer and probably open them if he could! :)Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463596622437274940noreply@blogger.com
