Reusable Gift Bag Sizing and Set Information

A set of 10 gift bags includes: 1 huge bag/Santa sack, 1 large bag, 1 medium bag, 2 small bags, 2 tiny bags, 2 book bags, and 1 bottle bag.

A set of 5 gift bags includes: 1 large bag, 1 medium bag, 1 small bag, 1 book bag, and 1 tiny bag.

• Reusable Huge bag/Santa sack. 70 x 52 cm (27.5 x 21 in). A big bag to fill with unwrapped presents or pop your smaller gift bags inside to contain the spread under the tree. This fits larger Lego sets, a Generation girl doll, a new power drill, or - as I got last Christmas - a gorgeous orchid plant in a pot!
• Reusable Large bag. 58 x 42 cm (23 x 16.5 in). Large bags work well for large beach towels, handbags, board games, helmets, toy sets, and adult shoe boxes.
• Reusable Medium bag. 45 x 36 cm (18 x 14 in). Use the Medium for your smaller items such as PJs and togs, kids shoe boxes, small toy sets and games, make-up or toiletry bags, a bluetooth portable speaker, or headphones.
• Reusable Small bag. 30 x 22 cm (12 x 8.5 in). Perfect for the kids fidget toys, it also would fit a new phone or watch, a keep-cup, candle, fragrance, or console games.
• Reusable Tiny bag. 22 x 12 cm (8.5 x 4 in). These cuties will hold the small and precious items such as jewellery, a deck of cards, wireless earpods, or a gift card, otherwise fill them with candy, or small fidgets for the kids’ stocking fillers.
• Reusable Book bag. 39 x 27 cm (15 x 11 in). A bit self-explanatory here, but being a reasonably sized bag this can be used for all sorts of other gifts as well. These will, however, fit your US trade size novels, and many of the recipe books you find at book stores.
• Reusable Bottle bag. 45 x 15 cm (7.5 x 6 in). These will fit the standard glass bottles of your favourite drop but they can be used for any long narrow gifts, like pencil cases for the kids or a hammer for dad (or mum).

Manufactured in Kabul

Manufactured with care, these gift bags are made from 100% cotton, ensuring durability and longevity. They are produced in Kabul, Afghanistan, providing vital employment opportunities for women who have no other source of household income. This initiative not only supports these women but also promotes a circular economy and waste reduction.

As manufacturing in Afghanistan is high-risk, approximately 30% of the inventory is made in Pakistan as a risk-mitigation strategy. Regardless of the production location, the profit goes back to the women of Afghanistan.

2.3 million pounds of landfill waste in the US alone

Choosing reusable gift bags can save thousands of miles of wrapping paper from ending up in landfill each year. Earth911 estimates 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper gets produced in the U.S. annually. Each year, the US sends about 2.3 million pounds—half of all the gift wrap made in one year—to overflowing landfills. The US throws enough wrapping paper away annually to circle the world a whopping nine times.
