Thirty-One Gifts (Review & Giveaway - 12/7)
11/20/2010 03:00:00 PM
Have you heard of Thirty-One Gifts? If you haven't, you definitely need to check them out.They are a faith-based company that has a mission to celebrate, encourage and reward women through offering quality products and an outstanding opportunity to become successful business owners.
Recently, I was contacted by Shawna, and asked if I would like to do a review and giveaway with her Thirty-One Gifts website. How could I refuse? I love to showcase and support moms in business.
Shawna sent me the Organizing Utility Tote in brown from the "31Kids" line for my review.
This bag is fantastic! I started using it as a diaper bag for Parker, but I quickly put it away. I love it so much that I want to wait and use it for Gage once he's born. I don't want to give the kids a chance to ruin it just yet.I did use it for a couple days, though, so that I could really test it out and give you all my honest opinions.
Here's what I love about the bag:
- It's roomy. There is plenty of room inside for diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, burp cloths, bibs, receiving blankets, and anything else you might need to toss in.
- LOTS of outside pockets! The outside has 7 different pockets - perfect for bottles, sippy cups, baby food jars, keys, or whatever else you want to put in them.
- It's sturdy and easy to clean. Talk about high-quality material! The inside can be easily wiped out - even if an entire sippy cup spills inside (trust me on this), and the outside wiped off easily with a wash rag.
- The straps are long enough - but not too long. They're the perfect length for tossing the bag on my shoulder and going on with my day. They don't slip, either, which is nice when you're trying to carry a toddler and push a full grocery cart at the same time.
- The price. At just $22, this bag is a steal! It is worth every penny, and it's such a great price, you could afford to buy one for everyone on your list!
And I've already asked hubby for a Christmas gift from Shawna's site. I want the "Lil' Expressions Canvas Tote Bag." It's $48, but comes with free personalization. You can put up to 6 kids and their names (or one long name like "The Vinez Clan"), and you can personalize the kids to look just like your kids! It would make the perfect gift for moms and grandmas, and I want one. :)With the Christmas season upon us, it's time to start shopping. I'd highly recommend you start with Shawna's Thirty-One Gifts website and take a look around. I'm sure you could find something there for almost everyone on your list!
