I don't have any experience myself with this.. but just looked in the mirror, and maybe I should try this too!
One traditional way of minimizing them is to use wet tea bags. Something about the tannin, I think. And I've heard of people using Preparation H, which I guess doesn't care what tissue it shrinks.
Shiseido sells some undereye treatments -- it's like a little semicircle of impregnated fabric of some kind that you apply under the eyes. I don't recommend these. They used to have great ones that were super-moisturizing (but wouldn't help bags, unfortunately). The latest ones I bought from them a year or so ago dried out the eye area so badly that it took almost a week to get the skin back to normal. At least that's how my skin reacted...
I pretty much looked like this little green critter afterwards.
