Common materials for Christmas goody bags are natural jute or linen, paper, and clear plastic (cello).
Common uses include party favors, candy and treats, classroom or holiday goodies, small gifts or stickers, stocking stuffers, and wrapping baked goods or craft items.
Common security features are drawstring closures on jute/burlap bags and twist-ties for clear cello bags. Descriptions note that drawstrings are easy to open and secure, while twist-ties help keep candy contained during transport.
