Weekend Giveaway: Better Life Bags Nesting Pouches

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 would use them in my purse. That way I could just throw the bags into another purse when I wanted to change it out, and I wouldn’t forget anything. If I had a baby right now, i would use them in my diaper bag. Love the fabric!

  2. Barb says

    I would give them to my daughter-in-law to use with our young granddaughter.

  6. Kristy S. says

    Just “liked” Better Life bags on Facebook and already like your site on their.

  8. Nora@ The Dollar Holllering Homemaker says

    I would use these for my purse and as a mini emergency kit for the car.

  9. Kristy S. says

    How awesome! I would use these bags in my purse as I am constantly losing items in there. With two kids and all my stuff there is a lot to be organized.

  11. Melissa says

    I would use these in the glove box of my car. I think the medium is the right size for a few first aide items, I suspect the small one would fit my car phone charger when it’s not being used, and the large one might fit my registration/insurance paperwork, a small paper notebook, and a pen.

  16. Cherie says

    I have a big bag and stuff tends to hide at the bottom. I’d use them to organize it a little better.

  18. Becca S says

    I would definitely use these bags for my internship coming up! I’ll be working in a hospital setting and could use all the organizational help I can get!

  23. Mel says

    I would probably actually give the bags as a gift for Christmas. I think my mother or aunt would really love them!

  24. Lindsay says

    I would definitely use these in my purse to organize all the things that get lost in the bottom of the bag.

  28. Melanie says

    I think I would use them between my purse and diaper bag. Always little things that are getting lost in the “big” pockets of my purse and our diaper bag. These are very cool!

  34. Krissy says

    I would use these for organizing items in my purse or to help separate different family members’ items when packing.

  35. Mandy says

    These would be awesome for organizing my purse and everything I carry when I am with my children.

  36. Robin says

    I would most likely use them in my purse. I also would use them when traveling.

  39. Kristy says

    I would use it for a Christmas gift or in my purse to organize all the stuff I keep in it that falls to the bottom and I can’t find.
