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!

    what an awesome mission! I’ll have to check them out because their stuff looks super cute!
    I would probably use mine similarly to how you use yours – in place of a diaper bag for those trips out where you just need to take the basics with you, or when traveling to keep my electronics and chargers organized.

  2. Audrey says

    . . . and I already like Simple Organized Living on facebook and just “liked” Better Life Bags. Thanks for introducing me to a great new product!!!!

  3. Audrey says

    I would use them as gifts, if I could force myself to part with them . . . . 😉

  6. Aishwarya says

    They look delightfully ethnic. The smallest one would be just right to hold all my shopping bills, the middle one looks like it could hold my keys and phone, and the largest looks absolutely perfect for my 18-month-old’s fabric books.

  8. Lorraine says

    I would use the bags to keep my smartphone/laptop/other electronics cords collected, metronome, pens, etc., as I’m constantly transferring these items from briefcase to music bag to purse, depending where I’m going. They’re always getting tangled and lost and I waste time sorting them out every day.

  11. Jessica says

    I would love to use these bags — I have a big 31 bag and everything gets lost inside of it… this would help give me some organization and be able to find things.

  12. Heather Ranney says

    I would use these in my diaper bag. The other bags also look great!

  13. Melanie Hansen says

    I would use it as a catch all in my purse. I love the idea that it would fit my Iphone, keys and money. 🙂 They are so pretty and useful. I need some more organization in my life.

  14. Erin says

    I’m looking for a better diaper bag, so I would use these almost exactly as you described!

  15. Leslie says

    I would love these bags. I am pregnant with #3 and need anything I can to make my life easier!! I would put all kinds of kids/baby things in there!

  17. Jessica says

    I would use these bags in my “catch all” diaper bag to keep track of my keys, phone, wallet, etc

  23. Pat says

    I would use one for my agenda book; one for the smartphone; one for wallet/keys; one for my notes for our move to Ms. from NH.

  25. Melissa Q says

    I’d use them for keeping track of all the cords for my collection of electronics… seems I’m always needing to toss cords into my bag and they just make a mess of things!

  30. kristen says

    my diaper bag could REALLY use some cute organiztion… and would def use for that purpose!!!

  34. Melissa says

    SO CUTE! I have four kids…would definitely use em in the diaper bag!!

  36. Andrea says

    I’d probably use these to organize my purse, or when I want to carry just a few things when I’m going out,

  38. Jacque says

    I would use the bags in my purse. As a listener of Dave Ramsey, I have wanted some cute little purse sized bags to use in his program for my budget envelopes.
