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 a great way to organize the items in my purse. Then, IO could very easily switch to a different purse anytime I wanted!

  5. BeckyTech says

    These would be great! I would use the small one in my purse so I could get right to the little things that get lost in there: chap stick, mints, etc.

    A larger one would be great to take for a quick trip to the store instead of my full-sized purse. Cell phone and wallet.

    Thank you!

    Wow. These are so chick! I would probably use them inside by diaper bag or for a quick bag when I don’t want to carry my bulky diaper bag. I have four kids and another on the way, so they would be put to good use somewhere!

  9. Caitlin says

    Those look so cute! I would use them for organizing my electronics in my bag I think. But there are so many options! It would probably change a lot! Thanks for the opportunity!

  12. Heather says

    I would use the nesting pouches in my purse/ bag to better organize.

  14. Karen J says

    Love these, I would use them to sort my purse/make up and other necessities.

  15. Meleah says

    I would use the nesting bags for my daughter! One for diapers and wipes, one for snacks, and one for toys (busy bags, crayons, flash cards, etc.). These would be great for a restaurant or quick trip!

  17. Sue Ellen says

    Love the nesting bags…I organize my purse in this way already and would use these bags if I win to organize ipod/ear buds, camera and camera accessories….lots of other ideas too!

  21. Tanya says

    I would use this to organize my purse. I have multiple electronics and sometimes if I don’t feel like carrying a large purse, I could definitely use this to put small stuff in, instead of my pockets.

  24. Jessica R says

    I would definitely use these bags to help organize my purse and my diaper bag as well- too many things just get thrown in… 🙂

  27. Kathi says

    I “liked” both Simple Organized Living and Better Life Bags on FB.

  28. Kathi says

    I would love them for my purse and organizing my personal stuff in my gym bag.

  30. Christy Anderson says

    I would use the Nesting Pouches to organize my purse so it’s easy to find everything I need.

  32. Lee Cockrum says

    I’d use them to organize stuff in my purse….or maybe in a knitting bag or two!

  33. Rachel B. says

    What great bags in fabulous patterns! I would definitely use them in my purse, which sometimes doubles as a diaper bag, to keep baby stuff organized. Thanks for this great giveaway!

  34. Sarah Quinlan says

    Love these bags and everything her company makes!! what a great giveaway would love to win if I did I would use the bags for my purse… it’s in desperate need of organization but do not have the funds to buy purse organizers right now

  37. Jess says

    These bags are just what I’ve been looking for our diaper bag! No matter how much I organize the large pocket, I end up loosing things on the bottom! What a great business idea.

  38. Diane R. says

    Love these…so many uses. Snacks, make-up, sunglasses and baby stuff.

  40. Shelly S says

    I would use them to organize makeup & coupons for me, and small snacks & toys for the kids. Love the idea of a mini-diaper bag, though! 🙂
