Do you have ideas for using Amazon gift bags?
We have accumulated three or four years worth of Amazon gift bags but prefer using regular gift wrap for other purchases. Does anyone have ideas to recycle all of them?

Depending on the size of the ones you have, you could use to hold plastic bags you get at retail stores.
Ventilate it and use to store potatoes or onions.
Travel bags to hold shoes inside the suitcase.
Laundry bag.
I read that Amazon gift bags are recyclable, but maybe you could donate them to an organization, like a food bank, to reuse.
Such a great question. I was wondering if they might be resewn into wine bottle sacks.

I've used mine hung on the passenger side seat of my car for trash collecting :)
I use them to hold my crochet projects.
They're great for sorting and organizing various items. I often label them with a sticky note stapled at the top so I don't have to look in to know what I've placed inside. Toy storage/organization too!
I have a friend who takes the pretty Christmas bags and makes Christmas pictures out of them. Puts them in a frame.
But I use them to store grocery store bags, my yarn, and embroidery threads.
I also keep my acrylic paints in one on a shelf in the closet.
I keep my crafting ribbons in them. They're great for storage.
Hi Andrea, hope this helps you out,

I'd use them for a storage tote or a more durable bag if you need something you won't mind if you lose for bringing things over to someone else house or if the kids need to bring several things to school for a project.
Hi Andrea. I have my make up and lotions sorted in a couple. I also use them to store papers for the printer.
Give them away to a friend or someone on FB marketplace
You can use the fabric for gift wrapping here are some ideas https://www.simplenaturedecorblog.com/17-holiday-recycled-gift-wrapping-ideas/
Use the smaller ones to create a bag of essentials for homeless panhandlers. Fill with travel toiletry items, a pair of new socks, a bottle of water, soft healthy snacks (easy on the teeth) and other sundries that depend on the season. Instead of giving change or bills at the intersection, give the gift bag.
The bags are handy to organize all types of items. Kids might enjoy organizing like toys with like toys, put all your hair accessories in one and store in the vanity. Use them to hold small gifts you distribute at holiday time.
