A gift bag includes aesthetically-covered opposing sides defining an opening, and a hanger attached to a side. The hanger is stamped from flat sheet material and includes a first section with adhesive for attaching to the side, a holding portion shaped to engage a support for display prior to being purchased, and a flexible closure portion with additional adhesive for attaching to the side. Thus the hanger both facilitates displaying the bag and also closing the bag to improve presentation of a gifted item in the bag (and to prevent the item from falling out of the bag). Methods related to same are also disclosed and claimed.
