What to put in those little mesh bags?

[Holiday Joy]

WalMart had a bunch of little drawstring fabric bags for 75% off today. They're maybe two or three inches across the bottom, and maybe 4 inches long, and are see-through fabric. These had Christmas beads dangling from the bottom. They're so CUTE, and I know they'd be perfect for something, but I couldn't think of a specific reason to buy them. What would you put in these as a gift? All I could think of was:

Little candies, home made or store bought
Small votive candles
Small picture frame

What else could you do with these? I'd hate to think of some GREAT gift idea a month from now and be kicking myself for not buying these! ;-)

Would they be big enough to put a mini vacation in? That's an idea from someone at OC-the teabag,kisses,bath salts and there is a poem to go with it :help: anyone know what I mean?
They also sound like something one of the fairies could use!

One of my SIL's mothers used to make up treat bags useing the fabric bags in different colors for the kids for different holidays and such.

In a swap one year I got an angel made from them. I have since purchased some bags but.......... they are still in craft room.

I've used them to put small gifts in such as a Christmas ornament, christmas jewelry, or makeup. Some of the gifts were expensive...some not, but it made all of the gifts look special!

I used them one time as favors for a birthday party. I put a hand beaded bracelet in each one, folded the napkin and tied it with a ribbon for a napkin ring, then tied the bag onto the napkin. I printed out placecards on the computer and put it by the plate. The ones I used came from the wedding section at Wal-Mart.
