By choosing our bags, not only do you streamline your holiday preparations, but you also support meaningful employment and craft traditions.

Reusable Gift Bag Sizing and Set Information

  • Reusable Huge bag/Santa sack. 70 x 52 cm. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 with care in Kabul, Afghanistan. We provide jobs for women in Kabul, Afghanistan where they sewed this. Your purchase provides vital employment opportunities for women who have no other source of household income. Read The Waste-Free Celebrations Story to learn more.

Easy care instructions

Wrap a Gift:

  • Unknot the ribbon.
  • Open the bag and place your gift inside.
  • Gently pull the ribbon closed and knot it securely.

Washing and Care:

  • Tie ribbons together to prevent them from coming loose.
  • Gently machine wash in cold water.
  • Tumble dry or hang to dry.
  • Iron with low heat for wrinkle free good looks.

Storage: After use, fold and store all bags within the medium-sized bag for easy storage.

The quick 'wrap' feature of these bags accommodates even the most awkwardly shaped gifts in seconds, eliminating the usual hassle of wrapping paper and tape.

"In Aotearoa, it’s estimated that we use 1600 tonnes of wrapping paper every Christmas, that’s the equivalent of 10 thousand trees.
If that’s not enough for a re-think, then consider the 25,000 tonnes of plastic packaging waste that is expected to be discarded."
