We usually use the old cards as tags for gifts. Saves a little money, and you can make cute tags!

Great ideas on the website. I too hate to throw all mine out.

Those are some great tips, I'll be sure to remember them this year. I especially like the gift tag one.

I never have to buy gift tags, I make them from the Christmas cards I receive. But with the cost of stamps so high I may get less cards this year so I might end up buying some or making some on my pc.

You can make cute little boxes with old Christmas cards. You just get a pattern for the top and bottom of the box and cut it out of the card. Then glue the corners and you have a cute, one of a kind, gift box.
