Say so long to boring gift bags. It’s time to get creative with this popular wrapping option. Gift bags are great when you’re in a hurry or need to wrap an oddly sized item. But here’s another reason to love gift bags– they can be unusual, special and funky! Just take a look at these:

Funky Gift Bags

Papyrus is known for stylish stationary, but they’ve also got a great selection of funky gift bags. My personal favorite is the Mustard Leatherite bag made to look like crocodile. They also come in red and teal. The wooden handles make them perfect for heavier gifts. They’re so cute you might want to keep it for yourself.
