VIDEO: How To Wrap a Gift with a Reusable Bag

This holiday season, why not wrap your presents in a reusable bag. It's like getting two gifts in one!

This video demonstrates how to do the wrap using a Baggu bag. However, almost any similar shaped cloth reusable bag will do...like the ChicoBags™ we're selling and giving away all December long (hint, hint).

*TIP: You should iron the bag before wrapping. No one wants a wrinkled present!
