All the pretty bags?

Big bags, small bags, shiny or plain. It doesn't seem to matter what the proportions or designs are - as long as they have little curved handles I seem to think they're valuable. It started two weeks ago when I was looking for wrapping paper for a gift. I noticed that my "under bed storage box" that contains wrappings, gift bags, tags, and ribbons, was having a hard time staying closed and equal difficulty fitting under the bed frame. When the bags began to accumulate, I had the well-intentioned idea to reuse them for gift-giving. When it comes down to it, though, I decide that it just looks like I'm too cheap to spring for Hallmark bags. 
The dilemma: what to do with them now? For some, the answer was easy - they didn't look so great after being wedged into the box for years, so those in the large Victoria's Secret bag (foreground) went into Big Blue (the City-furnished garbage can on wheels). Did I mention that there were 6 Victoria's Secret bags? They were in varying sizes and shades of pink - as change with the years, seasons, or Vicky's whim. Those were also fairly easy to get rid of because I'm not inclined to walk into work with my lunch packed neatly inside an underwear sack. That is eventually what is happening to most of the others - they have been converted to lunch bags or totes for projects, books, and other items I am forced to carry. When they tear or the handles break, then they're useless and I don't mind getting rid of them. In the meantime, I have reduced, reused and (the non-shiny ones) recycled.
