I try to make a few gifts each year, sometimes for family but also for friends and co-workers.
Awesome idea! I love handmade gifts.
My family gets to reap the spoils of my crafting all year long, so I tend to do my little gifts for dear friends and co-workers, during the holidays.
This is just the cutest project! I like to make photo/papercrafting gifts for my mom -- a heritage accordian book one year, a chalkboard frame with photos of all her great grandchildren another year. She loves everything I make for her.
My husband's grandmother always loves homemade gifts!
Very pretty & colorful bag! I love making gifts for my family - my hubby, 2 daughters, my mom & sisters. TFS.

I have a niece that really gets a kick out of the hand made extras. Thanks for the chance.
What a great project!! I LOVE making gifts for my kids, my hubby, my mom & all my sisters!! Being a Navy family, 12 hours from my siblings and parents I love to be able to send them something so much more personal when I make it myself, than finding it in the store :o)
Love the rich fall colors! Very pretty! I love to make cards and little gifts for the people who realize I spent a little time on them and who appreciate them....my Mom, my daughter, my grandson (who's 8), my Dad, etc.
The bag is really cute - especially with that box and the scallop edged paper around the bottom.
Love Basic Grey & love this bag! :)

Wow! Love your project!!! Beautiful!!! I love making home made gifts for my neighbors every year.... baked goods bundled in fancy packaging I make myself... it's become a tradition I have to do it every year or else! LOL!
Don't get me wrong...I love to make gifts for others but I think I like the gifts I make for myself even more... maybe because I get to keep them...lol. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing!!
Last year I made everyone mini albums. It was time consuming, but fun and more personal than a gift card.
such a sweet bag, maren:)
Really nice. I love making things for friends and family. Some people don't appreciate homemade gifts though and they're the ones I don't bother with.
This bag is almost too pretty to give away! Love it!
I like to make gifts for EVERYONE! I always try to tackle way to many projects during the holidays. I make for my neighbors, ALL of my co-workers, my friends at church, teachers, and anyone else who crosses my mind. Sometimes I like to have a little something to give to a person who I think needs a "pick me up" or goes the extra mile to do something nice. Expressing my appreciation always puts a smile on their face.
I love your bags. I like to make gifts for good friends and family.
What a great bag! Fabulous! Thanks for the inspiration!
OH! This would be perfect for some fall designs too!
Thanks!
I love making something a little special for DH. Last year I made a photo ornament for our first Christmas together. I will have to figure out something this year for sure. Love the little gift bag...so cute!
I love to make handmade ornaments to give as gifts or decorations on packages. I have a favorite one that looks like a birdhouse made from paper that is so sweet!

I love making holiday gifts for family and friends, but it is really FUN making gifts for the hostess of parties we attend - nice to give something different than the same old as everyone else.
I love making gifts for my son and my Mom. My husband is an artist and suffers from some autism spectrum disorder so he can't refrain from "critiquing" my stuff. So, he doesn't get as much handmade stuff as others.
I also like to make a handmade card, and wrap for a little gift exchange with girlfriends. they always seem to like it!
I like to make gifts for my Grandma because she appreciates handmade things and knows all the work that go into them. Your bag turned out lovely!
Your bow is WONDERFUL! Just love the bright, cherry colors that are so unexpected in a Christmas project. Love it! I mainly make holiday cards for close friends and family. I haven't ventured out into making them for everyone on my list!
I just don't know why I keep buying skinny ribbon. I love the fat ribbon on your bag!

I love to make things for my Mother! She always loves them and it makes "shopping" a breeze.
I love making homemade gifts for my daughter (such as a handknit scarf, quilt, etc.). She thinks of me every time she uses one of my homemade gifts.
I love to make holiday gifts for my grandma. Love the colors in your project.
What a beautiful bag! If I got a gift in that I'd have to display the bag along with the Christmas cards we received.
Thanks!

I love making gifts for my friends - usually consist of platters of sweets! Yummy!
I don't make a whole lot of holiday gifts, but I know the ones that are most appreciated are the packages of baked goodies for my neighbors and kids' teachers.
I have to say this bag would make the perfect packaging for our little gifts! Thanks for sharing your project with us!
beautiful gift bag!
In our family we draw names since there are 35 of us (4 generations) so I like to make something for whoevers name I draw. Last year it was mini albums for my nephew of his 2 little girls.
Thanks for the chance to win.
What an absolutely gorgeous bag!!! LOVE it.
I think I will be using your cute project idea. That will make some super cute neighbour gifts. I love making super cute inexpensive gifts for our Friends and neighbours to really say we think you are special enough to make it ourselves.

As an Expressive Arts therapist working with women addicts...every year I teach them how to make various types of Holiday cards and we send them to the troops and also donate them to the hospital our program is affiliated with...(Harbor/UCLA Medical Center in CA)...and that has become my favorite group to make 'gifts' for...

such a cute bag!!! I love making projects for my friends:)
I like giving hand-made gifts to anyone I can... but especially my husband, because I feel like it's something that is uniquely from me, rather than just getting him a game off of his wishlist :)
I don't usually make the gift itself-unless you count baked goods- but I love making the packaging.
Maren this is beautiful! I make cards, cards, cards!! I make "special" cards for the "special" people in my life. It takes longer than mass producing but I like it this way!
I am afraid I loving making gifts mostly for younger relatives - I guess I am a tinch insecure and invariabley, they are non-critical. But you have given me some great inspiration - and I love the two-sided paper for a gift bag - great job.
Love your project! I like making handmade gifts for my daughter.
What a darling bag! I love to make gifts mostly for my sister because she really, truly appreciates them!
