I used them for all my family & friends where I knew they'd be reused. For my FIL & some other friends that would either lose them or throw them away, I used paper - we do still have a lot of leftover paper from previous years.
Every gift IN our house that stayed in our house (with the exception of my new sewing machine ... I didnt' make a bag big enough for it, b/c I didn't know I was getting it!), was wrapped in fabric. We had one tiny little bag of garbage/recycling in the living room after gifts - and it was mostly packaging, not wrapping stuff. It was so nice not not have that big huge bag of paper to toss.
