I think this goes here.

Does anyone know where to buy candybags?
I'm giving people candy for Christmas & I want to get those bags that are like sorta long and clear and people usually give them out for like.. goodie bags.

Or does anyone know where to buy the like regular sized.. white paper bags?

I'm like blink.gif right now & practically going mad about where to buy these freakin' bags.

what my family did for christmas gifts last year was buy a roll of cellophane (it's basically like clear wrapping paper) with christmas decoartions on it and some ribbon. then you just buy some little candies to fill it with. tie it all up with a ribbon _smile.gif hope that helps!
think!IMAGINARILY
You can buy little sandwich bags (or even ziplock bags in general) at supermarkets. Those work great for candy bags. _smile.gif

Hey, that's creative and cheap! thumbsup.gif

I've seen goodie bags that are usually given at little kiddie birthday parties. Have you check dollar stores and convenience stores near you?
Serendipity
Oh oh. The dollar store.
That's where I got mine for cookies this year. [:

Yeah that's what I usually do. It's cheap and I think people appreciate the effort of putting them together, heh.

I've done this, it's cheap and nifty. (: And like Serendipity (Deborah, I think?) said, they're also available at the Dollar Store. You can buy the candy there, too.

Like Dollar Tree?
I was looking at Party City but they didn't have any Christmas-y kinds.

I think Dollar stores sell them, like colored plastic wrap type stuff, that you can put the candy in.
I'd look there if I were you. I was thinking about making Candy bags for people but.. idk if I still am or not. ermm.gif

^ I like the plastic wrap idea. Then you can get some twist ties and put one at the top to hold it shut.

They should have them at 99 cent stores.

Yeah, Dollar Tree should have some. I got mine at this store called Dollar Discount, but all dollar stores are practically the same. They had Christmas-y bags, along with regular clear bags, I think.
