I save all bags and boxes and I recycle the wrapping paper.
Do you throw it away?

We try to reuse boxes and bags when possible, but the wrapping paper always gets trashed.

I throw most of it away, I just keep nice ribbon if it's used (for crafts later). I used to keep bags, but I just don't have the space to do that right now.

I keep boxes and paper that's still in good shape. I've been considering switching to using something reusable like cloth to wrap though.

I keep bags if they are nice

I almost always save the bags and bows and sometimes the tissue and wrapping paper if it is still useable.

I always keep bags and boxes and recylce them. I still have wedding bags from when I was married 8 years ago to recycle when I have wedding gifts to purchase for others. Same things true about my baby gift bags I have them in storage as well.

I get rid of the paper. As it can't be used after my use. I like to tear away. But keep the boxes and bags. Saves a lot of time for future use.

I totally hoard it and might not throw it out until years later.

Just saved my FIRST EVER gift wrap. A bag tissue, actually, It was almost like red silk with gold sparkles in it, and still new and crisp. Never seen any this pretty, and YES, I will use it in a gift bag I make for someone else. WAY to pretty to toss and not reuse.

Do you throw your gift wrap away when it's given to you? I like to keep the bags/boxes or reuse them.

It's very rare that I throw any gift wrapping away, and it's incredible how many leftovers i have: cloth and organza bags, paper bags, boxes, unique wrapping, wrapping paper, tons of tissue paper, ribbons, bows....everything! They come in very handy

It depends on what it is. Some bags save very nicely and are easy to reuse. My aunt and I have a running gag with some package adornments I bought many years ago. We will send them back and forth to each other on packages sometimes. It's fun. Sometimes tissue paper can be saved, unless it's all ripped up. Wrapping paper I just throw away. I used to save all that stuff, but it's too easy to run out of space so now I just throw it out and move on.

I throw it all out but my fiance loves to save cute paper/bags.

I reuse bags.
I keep a tiny scrap of wrapping paper from whenever my partner gives me a gift, just to be sentimental.
