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.

More great gift ideas for mom! This gift would please mom on a variety of levels. Does she appreciate the sometimes awesome beauty of nature? Does she like books? And does mom like to decorate her home with great finishing touches?
Then how about a coffee table book?
I’ve always had coffee table books in the living room, and it’s always a great thing to have when you have guests. They love to pick up the book and thumb through it, and for quieter people who just like to sit and soak in their surroundings, they love to have the book in hand.
Here is a great book to suggest:
Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography
One of the most photographed subjects on earth, Grand Canyon continues to inspire awe, admiration, and frustration for those who attempt to capture its majesty with a camera. Reaching back 125 years into the photographic record of the Canyon, this book artfully explores the experiences of the earliest photographers and today’s most exceptional artists.
Accomplished writer and Ansel Adams Award-winning photographer Stephen Trimble deftly navigates the stories of the Canyon’s photographic history and takes us down the river and along the rim with the next generation of photographers and their photographs. Also included are twenty-one essays by the finest contemporary photographers recounting their experiences at Grand Canyon, along with fascinating details of changing equipment and a timeline of important moments in the Canyon’s photographic record.

Is mom a wine drinker, or at the very least, does mom understand the importance of a good bottle of wine. Does your mom know the way to make a good wine even better? If not, why not get her the Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator.
Wine enthusiasts know that properly aerating a bottle of wine is very important. And that is achieved by either decanting a bottle or using an aerator. If mom likes wine, either with a meal or just when entertaining, this would be a perfect gift for her.
Product Features
- Hold aerator over glass and pour wine through for instant aeration. Mixes proper amount of air in right amount of time.
- During manufacturing, the material folds around rods and wraps back resulting in two slightly visible fold lines. These lines extend up from each air hole and are normal.
- Easily and conveniently enhances flavor, bouquet, and finish of any wine
- Made of acrylic; no-drip stand and travel pouch included
- Measures 6 inches high and 2 inches wide; dishwasher-safe
If your mom isn’t aware of the importance of using an aerator or decanting wine, here is your chance to not only educate her, but give her a useful gift. Explain to her that the process of allowing wine to breath will give her better tasting wine. And it might impress her guests as well!
If you are interested in buying this or would like more information, you can buy it online from amazon at this link here.
Make mom happy and buy her a gift she will love!
