Thirty-One Bags Review & Giveaway

Have you heard of Thirty-One gifts?  Well if you haven't, let me introduce you.  They are a fabulous company with bags, totes, purses, storage items and so much more.  Not only do they have a huge variety of products, you can also choose from several different fabrics on each bag and choose to get your items embroidered to personalize them.

Can you say organizational heaven?!  I was super excited when Malisa wanted to sponsor a giveaway for my readers.  I was given the Organizing utility tote to review and I can honestly say this bag is incredibly versatile. I decided to use it for different uses throughout my review so I could show you.

Week 1: Diaper bag

My favorite part about it is that the design allows you to see everything in the bag.  I constantly struggle trying to dig out things that settled to the bottom of my other diaper bag, and do not have that issue at all with the Organizing Utility Tote. Plus the pockets are the perfect size for diapers, sippy cups, snacks, and extra clothes.

Week 2: Catch all bag

I'm not sure if you are like me but it seems like when I run errands I have five or six places to drop things off at.  Juggling all this stuff out the door is quite ridiculous and usually everything would end up scattered on the floor of our car.  I just set this bag right by the door and would put stuff in it as I realized "that needs to be brought to so and so" and then when I finally went to run my errands, everything was in one place.

Week 3: My mobile office

Because of the deal posting portion of my blogging, I always have my laptop set up on the kitchen table.  This pile on the table started getting larger including my day planner, my work notebook, my business cards, my contact info of other people who are sponsoring giveaways, etc.  While I technically have an "office" downstairs, it's inconvenient to run down there quickly to write a post or put something away because of my little Addy.  All that to say I needed to contain my "work stuff" because the kitchen table clutter was driving me nuts.  Now everything sits in this bag with exception of my laptop when it's in use.  Then if we are going to eat I just throw the laptop in there and put the bag in the closet.  This is the way I am continuing to use my bag because it was the biggest need I had in my life :)

I have seen other people use these bags as sports bags for their kids, boat bags to carry towels.  Really there are endless ways to use these awesome totes.  

I also own the Thermal Tote in cupcake print.  This is an awesome lunch bag!  I use it to pack Addy's lunch when she goes to stay at my aunts.  It is not to small, not to large.  I love it.  I often steal it for myself to use.  They are insulated and have even larger insulated bags if you are packing a whole day's worth of food or snacks.

I am hosting a LC Valley Mom blog event for Malisa!  Orders must be in by June 15th.  If you order $35 worth of goodies you will be eligible to purchase the LARGE Utility tote for only $10 (this is  $25 savings). The Top-A-Tote (lid) will also be on sale for $10. The Top-A-Tote is only available for a limited time! So one awesome way to take advantage of this deal would be to get the square utility tote for $25, then the top a tote for $10, and then get your Large utility tote for $10.  That's two awesome bags (and a lid) for $45.

Or buy a Large utility tote for $35 and get another for $10.  There are lots of ways to do this deal to get the most for your money but these products are great! Make sure to place your orders through this link and if you have any questions you can email Malisa at chefmomof3@gmail.com or me at lcvalleymom@me.com.

Here are a few of the other items you will find from Thirty-One Gifts.
