Gift Ideas for Mom

BAGGU Reusable Shopping Tote

Here’s a great gift idea for mom.  Is she environmentally conscience?  Do you have to pay for your grocery bags where you live?  Is she often at the grocery store buying food for the family?  Of course she is!  So then a reusable shopping tote is a great idea.

From BAGGU, these shopping totes come in twelve fantastic colours, sold in a package of six.  The bag is made of tough nylon and is 13.5 inches square with a 9 inch shoulder strap.

If your mom uses the reusable bags supplied by most grocers, you know they don’t fold up that well and end up floating around the trunk of the car.  Not these!  They fold up into a pouch that’s small enough to carry in a purse or maybe even a pocket.  And it’s not just eco friendly, it’s eco-chic.  Mom can be stylin’ while she’s lugging groceries.  Bet she’d thank you for that!

Here’s some info from the retailer:

Why Baggus are so great? You want to replace your old friends–the paper & plastic bags–with something that does their job without creating needless waste or harming the environment. Using one Baggu for one year replaces 300 to 700 disposable bags.

• One Baggu holds the contents of 2 to 3 plastic grocery bags; Six bags can hold a whole cart full of groceries.
• Baggu Bag handles are the perfect length: you can hold them in your hand, on your forearm, or over your shoulder.
• They are made from strong rip-stop nylon weighing only 2 oz. and can carry up to 25 lbs. They fold into a flat 5 by 5 inch pouch that easily slips in a purse or pocket; that way they are always handy when you need them.
• Baggu bags have a nice big gusset in the bottom so they will sit flat when they are filled (good for eggs & milk).

And here’s what some happy owner’s have to say about them”

Debra Roberts:

These are the best reusable shopping bags. Hold lots, easy to carry when they’re full, and fold up into small little envelopes that are easy to throw into your briefcase or purse. Everybody who sees them wants to know what they are and where to get them.

Xynthee:

You could carry bowling balls in these bags and they’d hold up. You can hang them from your shoulder, too. I detest plastic grocery bags, so these are great. I’m always so mad at myself when I forget to bring them with me. They’re small enough to keep in.

Penny booklover:

I purchased these some time ago, have used them weekly, threw them in the washer and dryer, and they still look as good as new. These remarkable bags are so handy.

Here’s what a few satisfied buyers have to say about this product:

PKD:

I love this bag! It’s sturdy, holds up well. Love the feet on the bottom, so the corners won’t get worn out. Perfect choice for carrying my work and my little laptop.

Michelle R Murray:

I travel extensively as a business professional, however, I am also extremely fashion-conscious. I did extensive research on a laptop bag prior to my purchase. My main criteria for my laptop bag included: (1) A protective case for my laptop that could be removed easily from the bag at airport security without the contents of the bag collapsing into the interior. (2) An attractive bag that appeared to be a larger handbag versus a laptop case. (3) A bag that could contain a few files and personal items in an organized manner. After reviewing many bags online and in stores, I decided on this bag. I feel that I have made the best decision as this bag meets every one of my requirements and exceeds my expectations.
