One of the “life lessons” that you heard from your dad every day when you were growing up was that if something is too easy, it is probably not worth doing. While in most instances this is true, finding ways to wrap gifts you are giving may be the exception to that rule. More specifically, you should consider paper gift bags when you are giving gifts instead of wrapping paper. Listed below are several of the reasons that paper bags are going to end up being better and much easier for you.

There are some people who really enjoy wrapping presents. They crease all of the edges and make sure the lines on the cut off edges of the paper line up perfectly. Then they find the perfect bow or ribbon to add to it and make sure its color coordinated. If you are one of those people, you may not be interested in gift bags. However, most people do not enjoy wrapping presents that much. Plus, if you choose to wrap the gifts that you give, you still have to be really careful about how the package looks. Appearances say a lot about the giver, and a poorly wrapped gift is not going to provide the impression that you want it to. Why not use a custom bag instead? It is always going to look great.

If you are like 95% of the people in the world, if there is a fast and easy way to do something, you are going to do it. The fact that it is also a really great idea and it is going to look fantastic is just a bonus! Dropping your present into a nice gift bag is going to take a total of about 5 seconds. Using gift bags is also a great way to make a good impression. Getting a gift is always fun, but getting a gift that is well presented shows more thoughtfulness and even generosity. It clearly shows that you put forth a little extra effort to make it look nice.

Another great thing about using gift bags is that you can “wrap” anything with them. Anyone who has ever tried to wrap something that is not a square has to put a lot of thought into how you are going to do it. It is great if you can find a box that fits your item, but finding the right size box is sometimes like finding the missing sock that got eaten by the dryer. If you cannot find a box, regardless of what you do, the gift that you spent time picking out is going to look really bad.

Using gift bags can also be fun. You can go to the local department store and grab a bunch of ready to go bags, but you can also take a few minutes ahead of time and order your own bags. There are websites that allow you to create your own design. Once you find a design you like, you can order all the bags you need for the next year.
