Birthday Gift Bag

This Birthday Gift Bag from Esplanda is a ready-made way to present a gift without wrapping paper, tape or scissors. It sits in the gift bags and cards section alongside the store's other occasion packaging. The listing doesn't state the bag's dimensions, material, handle type or print design, so check the product photo for the artwork and colors before you buy. Bags in this category usually open at the top and have rope or paper handles. Many come with a sheet of tissue paper. They suit gifts that are awkward to wrap, such as a bottle, a boxed item or a few small things grouped together. If you plan to carry a bottle in it, hold it from underneath rather than by the handles, because thin paper handles can tear under the weight of glass. Because the design is made for birthdays, it works best when the recipient is celebrating that day. Tuck a card inside and keep the bag upright until you hand it over, so any tissue stays in place.
