    These are great, Rachel! I really need to get on making my own fabric gift bags so that I’m not wrapping stuff every year. We wrapped in fabric scraps last year, and that was fine. But gift bags would make my life easier. These other ideas are lovely and useful, too. I think even the kids could do most of them.
