The winner is: Lisa G! Congrats! Contact the other Lisa at Giving Gifts and choose your bag!!
Readers, let me introduce you to an amazing local online store: Giving Gifts. Founder of Giving Gifts, Lisa describes her products as ‘Gifts that give’ and this is exactly what you’ll find at this store. Lisa’s products are fair trade, often handmade and eco-friendly so in purchasing one of her products and using it as a gift – you are also giving back. All the products you’ll find at Giving Gifts are unique and special. I absolutely LOVE Lisa’s store and could purchase everything! However, if I have to narrow it down, here are some of my favourite items for the simply stylish Mom:
Little Jots – Lunch Notes for your little ones!
Earthdust stainless 1L stainless steel water bottle
The lovely Lisa sent me two bags to try out and oh, how much fun did I have trying them out?!
This handy dandy lunch bag comes in its own little pouch – easy to pop it away after use and keep it stored in your purse, diaper bag, stroller or jacket pocket. Instead of taking your lunch to work in a throw-away bag, here’s a way to be more environmentally conscious – and to look pretty while doing it (because that is VERY important!!) This sack is made from recycled fabric, it is water-resistant, fully washable and ethically made. It has a mini pocket inside perfect for spare change, keys or a small snack. I love how small these bags are and I think they’d also be great gifts for not only Moms but little ones – kids love dressing up and playing “Mom” (really?!) so this is a great bag for them to fill with their keys, lip balm, train (in our case), hat and a snack. It gives a child that little bit more independence and confidence that the books tell us we should be doing. Also it’s a great art and crafts bag (if that’s your thing), book & ipod bag or there are some more ‘manly’ designs that you could get for Dad’s lunch bag also!
This bag is amazing! I use this all the time. Lisa sent me (on my request) the ABC envirosax bag as I wanted something for my son to use for transporting stuff to preschool and bag eg. hat, spare clothes, rainboots etc and I loved the funky design. Having said that, I often use this bag out grocery shopping during my frazzled moments when I realise I’ve forgotten my cloth bags and before I hyperventilating about having to use plastic bags – VOILA! – my envirosax is tucked away in my purse and I am saved! This wonderful bag can carry up to 22 kg/44lb (the equivalent of two supermarket bags), is waterproof, fully washable. Envirosax donates a percentage of its sales to environmental organisations.

These sound/look awesome! So practical and great styles. I think the Envirosax bag would be the most helpful, especially with the grocery shopping
