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 love all the different sizes and fabric….heaven!! I would organize our weekly cash envelopes.

    I would love to use this handy bags on a everyday basis for cell phone and keys, little activities for the kids and other small items. They are sooo cute!!! 🙂

  11. Beth A. says

    I would use these great bags to organize my work bag. I feel like I am always digging through it for what I am looking for – these would make it so much easier to find what I need!

  12. Lindsay N says

    I also love supporting businesses who provide more than just a great product but also provide job training, etc. So I’m glad to know about BLB!

    I’d use the nesting pouches as a gift actually. A friend of mine uses lots of different makeup and hair products when she travels, and it would help simplify her life if she wasn’t digging through a large toiletry bag to find what she needed.

    Although the bags are so cute I’d also be tempted to just keep them for me– I’m sure I could find a good way to use them!

  16. Lori says

    I would use them in my purse and school bag. They are so cute too! Thanks.

    Hi!!! The question is what wouldnt i use these for? Theyre awesome!! You can use them to organize your stuff at home or you can take them with you on a trip to store your toiletries, smartphone, tablet or whatever! The best thing about these bags is that theyre making someone lses life better!!

  22. Kellie R says

    These would be the perfect gift for my friend who is expecting in March.

  25. Guylene says

    I would use the bags in my tote to keep my things organized. One would have my phone. The other one I would put my cards in and condense them from the other things I have them in. Finally I would put all my pens in pencils in one.

    I already like you on fb.

  26. dana says

    need a lot of help to organize my whole life, starting with the purse and diaper bag would help 🙂

  27. Annie B says

    These nesting bags look like they would be great to help organize my purse!

  28. Terri S. says

    Would use for lunch and snacks of fruits and granola. Another bag would hold my keys and office door swipe cards and I am off for a relaxing break with ease of two bags. Awesome!

  33. Rachel says

    I would love to use this in my purse to organize diapers and other random things I have in my purse. I place to keep some suckers in case of an emergency or a pack of gum. Supper cute and functional

  35. michelle says

    i really am so glad i found your blog, i cant wait to see if there is a post everyday. I would most certainly use the nesting bags in my purse. my girls are constantly putting things in my purse.
    thanks for the chance to win…

  37. Lani says

    I would use them to help keep my huge school/church/yoga tote I live out of Monday through Friday a little better organized. 🙂

  39. Kelli says

    I would use them in my purse to stay organized, as I carry tons of stuff in it for work. With the bags I could keep my work items (pens, appointment cards, etc) separate from my personal stuff and make it easier to make sure to
    have everything I need when I’m not in my office
