Weekend Giveaway: Better Life Bags Nesting Pouches

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.

Contrats to: Kellie (gkriddle@...)

To say I’m super excited about today’s giveaway would be a HUGE understatement. I’m absolutely thrilled and honored to be able to share today’s featured business — Better Life Bags —  with all of you.

Better life bags (a Michigan-based small business) was founded by Rebecca after her first son was born in 2009. Her initial goal was to make a cute diaper bag for herself — but since then it has grown into SO MUCH MORE than that!

She still creates one-of-a-kind custom bags, but she does so while giving back to her local Detroit, MI, community and helping all sorts of women in need.

You see, each Better Life Bag is made by a special women in Rebecca’s local community who otherwise would not have a job. Rebecca finds these women, teaches them how to sew her bags, and provides them with an income — and more importantly dignity,  honor, and respect.

So while the Better Life Bags are not necessarily the cheapest bags on the market, they are so much more than just bags. They are an opportunity for all of us to give back and do more than just purchase fashionable bags for the women on our Christmas list this year.

I hope that as you begin your holiday shopping this year, you’ll consider purchasing a Better Life Bag — here are a few of my favorites:

  1. iPhone/Cell Phone Cozy
  2. Reusable Lunch Bag
  3. Emily Diaper Bag
  4. Clara Lynn Market Tote

Oh, and I absolutely love their Children’s A-Z Prayer Cards — the perfect Christmas gift for teachers, coaches, parents, grandparents, etc.

 

However, my most favorite product from Better Life Bags is their set of 3 Nesting Pouches.

Not only are these pouches the perfect size to organize almost anything in your purse, diaper bag, gym bag, carry-on bag, or any other bag; they also “nest” inside of each other for super easy storage.

I use my nesting pouches in place of our diaper bag when we’re just going on a quick trip or I don’t feel like lugging the diaper bag around.

The largest nesting pouch is the perfect size for 3 diapers and a travel size package of wipes; the middle pouch is great for a burp cloth and a couple small toys; the smallest pouch stores some baby snacks and a pacifier.

These bags come in tons of super cute fabrics (both outside and inside the bag) so you can customize them for anyone on your Christmas list this year.

I’m always a huge fan of supporting local businesses, especially those that give back to their community. So since Better Life Bags fits both categories AND they offer so many super cute products, I’m simply thrilled to be sharing them with you today.

Of course, a fun giveaway is just an added bonus!

    I have been searching for a small zip pouch to contain things like chapstick and tissues inside my purse. Right now I am using a zip lock bag (seriously, lol).

    I already like you on Facebook, but I’m going to go like Better Life Bags….now.

  2. Vikki says

    So cute. I would give them to my girls for their backpacks and tote bags. Thank you for the giveaway.

  6. Joelyn says

    I would definitely use these to keep my large bag organized with one for diapers, one for my little things, etc.

  8. Donna Iwancio says

    I would totally use these pouches to help organize my large purse.

  9. Paulette says

    What cute bags…more importantly, what a great thing this woman is doing for her community! I already “like” you on Facebook and I’vd “liked” Better Life Bags… 😉

  11. Rachel says

    I love these! I think I would use in my diaper bag or in my purse- or instead of a diaper bag.

  14. Carrie says

    These would be great for a number of different things. My purse, diaper bag, over-night trips…. The fabric print in the above pics is beautiful!

  16. Donna says

    I would love to share these with my daughter who is expecting her 5th child in Feb. will help her organize her diaper bag. Really enjoy your site!

  18. Heather G says

    I would use them for my purse, to help keep everything organized. There is only one zipper in it so everything gets piled in the middle!

  21. Olivia says

    I would use these to move essentials (lipgloss, female products, lotion, pens, etc) from my purse to my laptop bag! As I’m always on the run for work, it’s a pain carrying two bags. I try to move my essentials back and forth between purse and laptop bag, but something always gets left in the wrong one. These would be a perfect way to make sure the right things were always in the right bag!

  22. Nicole Church says

    I would love these pouches. They are adorable, simple, and look so useful! I would use them in my purse at church so I can stop lugging the diaper bag to the church nursery. Instead, I would just pull a pouch out when I drop Zoe off for the short hour or less. The diaper bag does not look like one—super stylish and love the messenger bag strap.

  27. Trish says

    I would use the nesting bags to separate my stuff from the kids’ stuff in my bags! 🙂

  29. Alisha says

    I would use them when I go shopping, so I don’t have to carry my purse and take a chance in losing something or getting pickpocketed…especially with the holiday season upon us.

    Thanks for the giveaway!!

  30. Ashley says

  34. Sarah F. says

    Oooo…pretty!!! I would use these to orgainize my purse (chapstick, hand cream, glasses, etc) so it can easily be transferable to any other bag.

  36. Peitra says

    I would use the nesting pouches for those trips when I don’t want to schlepp my huge diaper bag! Diapers/wipes, my things, and…. I still have to think about the last one!

  37. Jennifer R. says

    I just got a new iphone so I would love to have one to protect that in my purse. I would replace the plastic ziplocs I have organizing misc. items with these super cute bags!

  38. Lisa says

  39. Heidi says

    I would use the nesting pouches to organize my purse: one for makeup, one for shopping lists and gifts cards and maybe one for “female supplies” (keeps them out of sight).

  40. Kaitlyn says

    I would use the nesting bags to carry, pencils for my 4 children, lipstick, iphone, note cards (for my school) and gum for me! Love your site by the way!
