Thirty-One Gifts Giveaway!

I hadn’t heard of Thirty-One Gifts until my friend Stacy became a consultant with the company.  She sent me the large utility bag (shown above) to try out and I am thrilled to offer a giveaway for her and support a Christian company (Thirty-One references Proverbs 31) at the same time!

One winner will win a large utility tote in the pattern of their choice (I chose something very neutral because I knew I wanted to primarily use the tote for library books in our living room).

This tote can be used for just about anything!

  • library books
  • picnic items
  • school books
  • craft supplies
  • groceries
  • anything you can think of!

Heading to the library! How easy is that?!

Before we go any further, I want to tell you a little bit about Stacy because I know all of you like to know about the people behind the products.

Stacy Erickson is a homeschooling, semi-homesteading mom of 8.  Providing some income for the family has been a necessity in different seasons of her life, but working from home is the only reasonable choice for her family’s dynamics and beliefs. Thirty-One Gifts has offered that option for her.  She can hold parties, serve retail customers, and build her team.  And she is blessed to be a part of a company that puts faith and family first! {You can stay up to date with specials and offers via Stacy’s facebook group}

  1. Oh, I love this tote! I have three. Yes, three. I had a party to earn the products I wanted.

    My very favorite one is the Utility Tote. I love the 7 pockets. It’s a good size too.

    FUN!

  2. That looks like a great tote. I’m sure in my house, it would be used as a doll bed, or as a place for star wars battles, or filled with spy gear, in addition to actually being used to tote things around!

  6. I would love to use a smaller bag (I think they offer it more as a purse) as a purse/diaper bag combo! They are adorable! Right now I don’t need a full size diaper bag, but I don’t have anything else to use so I’m still carrying it everywhere. I’ve seen thirty one products before, and love how sturdy and cute they are! I’ve never owned any though. I would use your tote if I went to Aldi’s, just filling it up as I shop and then fill it up again as soon as the groceries were paid for. And of course the library is an excellent choice!

  10. I love those large rectangular square baskets! I could use something for library books as well. As far as the baskets go no telling what I’d use it for. It start as one thing and migrate around the house. I love baskets and use them for books, toys, food, toilet paper. ect.

  12. It would be great to have one of those large utility totes for the back of my mini-van…to keep things a little more organized in there. I just discovered Thirty One in May, and love it!

  15. The Hang-Up Home Organizer looks to have some real potential. I am wondering if it is pre-labelled (with coupons, business cards, etc.) or not. Beautiful items!

  16. I think the tote would be great to keep in the car for all those miscellaneous items that need to be retrieved. I have a friend who uses hers for her equipment for our mom and baby exercise class.

  17. I would love one of their large totes. It would be great for shopping or the library. Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway.

  18. I would use it on trips to hold books and other things I want to be able to use while my husband is driving (kids’ CDs, projects I’m working on, notebook and pen…).

  19. I LOVE thirty-one gifts!! I have several things from them and use them all of the time! I could soooo use one of those utility totes!! For everything.ha.

  20. Okay, super cool bag…and it looks easy to carry…some of those big all purpose bags are a bummer to try to actually use! I love the fact that this looks like a bag I would notice if my kids tried to borrow it to use for themselves!!!

  22. We use the square utility tote to carry snacks in the car. After things get eaten, it folds down easily.

  23. I would LOVE one of these bags! I was blessed to have Stacy visit recently and I flipped through the catalog..there are so many options with these bags! And they are so pretty!

    If I had one like you show in the pics above..I’d use it to transfer library books, or hold my current crochet projects and favorite yarns :) It may work well as a picnic basket, too!

    I don’t have FB or I’d join..and I’m still trying to figure out what a ‘twitter’ is..??

  26. Ok, so there are about a MILLION different uses, but the small utility tote on p. 18-19 “D” would be great on-the-go hair accessory organizer. Those pockets are perfect for scrunchies, hairbows, small brushes, a mini water spray bottle etc. I know that in our house these things seem to always find a home somewhere other than where it belongs. This would be a classy, hip, and fun way to organize and look great all at the same time! Thanks for the fun contest, Amy. Praying for you today from Boston! :)

  27. I went to a Sunday School training last night and the teacher had all of her workshop supplies in a tote just like this!
    I also got the utility bag (I think that’s what it’s called) for a baby shower gift and it is wonderful! I love the pockets, althought I’ve got to put some stretchy cord or something on them so things don’t fall out as much.

  28. We also use our large tote for books in the living room, but I’d love (NEED) one for toys that the kids bring up and down from the playroom everyday. I also love the organizing wallets but I’m not really sure there’s another use for one of those! ;)

  29. i looked at their catalog and thought their stuff looked really awesome! my friend uses her tote for all her paper and plastic(plates,silverware,napkins) so it’s easy to pull out when company is over:)

  32. The large insulated tote is good to use as a cooler and for a pool bag. Not only will it insulate but it is good for wet towels, bathing suits, etc. on the way home. During the winter you can keep it in your car for cold items on the way from the grocery or unexpected leftovers from a restaurant, etc. Love 31 :)

  34. Oh, I love their totes and bags!!! They would be so nice as a purse, library book basket, or even a place to store rolled up blankets for the living room. They are so versatile, I’d love to win this!

  35. Love the big tote! We like to move outdoors with our school work when the weather is nice, this would make a great classroom on the go!

    Thanks for such a great give away!

  36. We just recently bought a van, and I would love a “pretty” tote to use in it!! :-)

  37. You could use it as a tote for all the apples you pick this Fall at the U-Pick orchard :o )

  39. I love the aprons on page 13…can’t think of a particularly “creative” place to use them, but I teach Sunday school and have been wanting a new apron to wear during craft time!

  42. WOW! I am totally in love! I would use the tote as a toy carrier. We drive an hour and a half to church so my car gets cluttered with all kinds of toys from my two oldest boys. The tote will fit perfectly in between their booster seats! And its big enough to put anything they could think of in it!

  43. The tote you have would be great for blocks or craft supplies.Or,if you hade several for putting groceries after a big trip to Aldi!!

  45. At a 4th of July party my cousins hosted, I saw at least three families using this to carry towels, bathing suits, swimmies, sunblock, snacks and water bottles!

    I’ve also seen them used at baby showers to put all of the clothes and things in as they are opened, instead of back in the bags/boxes, which I think must make it easier to tackle when you get it home! :-)

  46. WOW! Those are some snazzy bags. I love the utility bag, and the tall and short utility bins.
    I would love the utility bag for all the kids books that I end up toting home from the library. It would also be good in my van as a catch all for our junk : )
    The short utility bin would be great to hold stuff in the back of our van like picnic blanket, football, frisbee, beach toys, etc.
    Thanks for the offer! Looks like a great company!

  49. Page 8, item B “Medium Magazine Basket” that they show as holding TP could be a great craft basket. The bar handle would work well for securing the other end of a braid for a little girl just learning how, and store her yarn and fabric in the basket.

  50. I would use this tote to carry teaching/craft supplies, as I teach at church often.

  51. the large utiltiy tote would be perfect to hold all of my teacher guides/keys for school. it also looks like it would be great to hold knitting projects!

  57. Wow, that big tote is AWESOME!!! I would have it in the car to hold all sorts of the items that seem to find there way into the car but then end up rolling around on the floor as we drive, like baby toys, little boys cars, snacks, etc. Thank you SO much for the opportunity to win one!!!! :)

  63. I LUV the large utility tote to keep our swim stuff in. My daughter is a consultant and luvs the freedom to work when she wants and meeting new people.

  64. so many great things, but I think all large families could use what they called the med. magazine tote, but had it holding extra toilet paper & dispensing one roll also. Clever.

  65. It looks like the perfect size for an emergency supply bag for your car: extra diapers, changes of clothes, an extra $10 spot for an unexpected garage sale… :)

  66. I would use the square utility totes on pg 36 on my stairs, one for each of us, for all the things I pick up during the day that need to go upstairs.

  69. The Cindy tote is great as the catch all bag for Mom but stylish at the same time. It would be great as a diaper bag, potty training (all the extras to carry around) plus room for juice cups, snacks, and anything Mom needs! Can also hold a laptop or files so versatile for work or files or library books! The small totes are perfect for little girls who might like a personalized purse (doing this for xmas for my girls). The organizing utility tote is a more open catch all for swim lessons, sports, etc.!

  70. the large tote bag would solve my library book problem!! I just reposted this to my FB page!!

  71. I love your large utility tote! We have the Thirty One thermal tote. It is great for picnics or field trips when we have to pack our lunch. I put all the cold stuff in the thermal tote along with a couple of ice packs. I have a utility tote (not near as neat as the Thirty One tote) that I pack all the not-cold stuff in.

  72. OOooo!! I really want to win this!! I have several 31 products. While they are a little expensive, they are well worth the price. The quality is amazing!!
    As for what yop can do with the tote – carry a toddler in it!! My 18 mos old climbed into one that belonged to my friend. He thought it was great fun to be carried around! It was sturdy enough to carry him around!

  74. The large utility tote would be great for storing all those winter blankets in the living room that always end up in a pile at one end of the couch. Or if you have small children it is a great place to store those little toys that they LOVE to drag out all day. Another idea is for those of us who home school at our dining table, we can store school books so that we can eat as a family each night and not on top of all the school work.

  75. The large tote would be perfect to keep my ongoing scrapbook and sewing projects organized. That way they are not all over the tables and in “little fingers” way. Thank you for a great giveaway.
    Blessings,
    Michelle

  77. I love those big totes for the library, grocery shopping, sending my kids to put their clothes away in one trip, and AWANA stuff!

  78. I love the large tote and we use it for loading our groceries in when we travel. It’s also good for leaving on the seat and putting your plastic grocery bags in after shopping so you just have one to carry into the house.

  79. I love that large tote. Our family travels a lot and it looks to be just the right size to fit between the front and back seats and hold all of the nonperishable foods. Our family would also use it for camping, picnics, apple picking, and when not in use by the general house I would sneak off with it for groceries at the farmers market.

    Looking at the photo though it looks like something that I would toss toys in to keep little ones happy on a long trip.

    Thanks for the incredible find – I think you just made up my mind on what I may ask my hubby for, for Christmas.

  83. I’d use the tote to keep the “just in case” clothes, extra diapers and other things I keep in the car for my little guys. I’d love to win this! thanks!
    Jill

  84. Our homeshool of 7 seems to be on the move this year, everywhere and every room. I absolutely love that big tote to be our daily school materials mover! Thanks !

  85. I facebooked this also, not sure if I needed to comment as an entry. Thank you!

  86. That utility tote would be awesome for trips to Grandma’s house! A place for diaper changing things, a place for toys, throw in a few picture books…

  87. That looks like a great bag. I’d like to pack it full the night before music lessons with all of the kids books and things we will use in the car.

  91. Not sure if the entry for purchasing has to be thru your friend, but I just attended a Thirty-One party over the weekend and purchased small bags for my kids to take to the library for their books.

  92. I would use it to organize car supplies like snacks and diapers. It would be great to be able to grab all of the stuff needed for a trip in one bag.

  93. During the summer, we go to our neighborhood pool and swim. This bag would be perfect for corralling all the sunscreen, drinks, snacks, etc., that we take along.

  95. I think I would use the big bag for travel, and Costco runs. I love how it stand up by itself. I would also use it when I yard sale or go to used sales. Love it!

  97. I have been looking at the Organizing Utility Tote to use as a diaper bag for my new little one coming in Dec!

  100. I have an order from my niece on the way. I ordered the tote with the family on the front of it…can’t wait! I will use it for my Children’s Church lessons and supplies to and from church!

    • Drat! Gotta stop skimming posts.
      I’d keep mine in the trunk to use at the library and as a giant grocery bag for Aldi’s trips. ;)

  102. I asked to join Stacey’s group, and tweeted about it. I just told my husband earlier this morning that I wanted a large tote like that one to carry picnic lunches in when we go to the zoo or the park. Eating out is getting more and more expensive the older my children get, so being to have something like that to carry food, snacks, drinks, and maybe a blanket in would be wonderful. Especialy since fall is coming up and there will be a lot of fun outdoor activities!

  103. Love that large tote! I would use it on our trips out to the lake for snacks, towels, sunscreen, and everything else! It would be so much easier to find everything in that than in a bag!

  105. I love the market thermal tote, and also the organiser shoulder bag. I don’t have a need for a diaper bag anymore, but I still need to be organised! For your tote, I would probably use it in the car to keep things tidy and stop them from sliding around all over the place – I know that it would come in really handy!
    I am already part of Stacy’s facebook group.

  106. The large tote looks great for picnics, field trips, overnight stays, grocery trips, and library runs! I love the catalog. Cute items!

  110. I really liked your idea about the library books. That was a great idea. I currently have 20+ books out on loan due tomorrow and no idea were they are. It would also make a great last minute bag for trips or park outings.

  111. WOW! What awesome products – I LOVE bags!!!

    I was thinking that the bag you have would be great for holding special toys for school time. I especially like the handles to take the “school toys” along with you if you are doing school away from home. Or you could use it for the school books away from home. LOVE IT!

  112. Since starting preschool with my daughter at home, we’ll be toting even more books home from the library, so I relate to that suggestion!

    I’m always looking for a container to put in the car for the kiddos’ books and toys – either to go between the seats or on the floor, so that’s another suggestion. Also looks like it would make a great beach tote – fill it with rolled-up towels, sunscreen, some lunch, etc.

    I like their idea for turning their tote into a caryall for cleaning supplies – but I would hate to ruin it! Maybe homeschool supplies? I’m always running back and forth for scissors, markers, glue…

  113. I have been admiring an over the shoulder bag, I can’t remember the name of it. It would be great for a trip we are wanting to take. It comes in 4 different colors and I have not decided which one I like best.

  116. Could be used for games, blankets, toys, VCR tapes. I have never had a 31 party but have an out of town friend who sells it so am hoping that she can do one for me sometime :o ) Very cool-looking products!

  117. I would use it for lapbooking…storing current lapbooks we are using, the books to go with for researching, and supplies. ;)

  118. I would love to win a large utility tote! It would be perfect for taking supplies to Girl Scout meetings.

  123. I joined Stacey’s FB page and I also thought that the wall organizer’s were really nice. You could very easily transform it into a school organizer or a kitchen papers organizer.

  126. Picnics come to mind right off the bat. (You could probably fit a few baseball bats and gloves in there it looks large enough!) I would most likely use it to carry all my Sunday School stuffs. We are a small church start up renting facilities so we have to carry everything in for services. Looks like I could get just about everything in, minus the guitar. (o: Thank you for the possibilities.

  127. Hi!

    I would use a HUGE bag like that for the “always in the trunk of the minivan” bag, like for Costco trip, beach, etc. Hope I win!

    Thanks!
    Nancy

  128. I think a bag like that would be perfect for keeping preschool activities in. My little ones are always being assigned a different location for their activities and this bag would make it more portable than our current system.
    Also, it would be cute for holding the baby toys piled in the living room corner. More fashionable than say a large orange bucket. lol!
    Or I can also see using it to pack camping supplies or all the loose odds and ends that end up everywhere in the car when traveling.

  129. I think it would make a great “Sunday” bag– special toys that only come out on Sundays!

  131. The large utility would be a great swim bag or to keep winter hats gloves etc. In an easy place. I have the large organizing bag and LoVE it!! It fits notebooks and file folders perfectly. ( I am a preschool teacher). I use it for school.

  135. Beach bag, grocery bag, tote for school…the list goes on. Is there a family limitation to winning? :)

  136. I think your tote would be great for taking a meal to a new mom or someone who’s had a surgery. I have used a laundry basket to do this but your tote looks much better than a laundry basket.

  141. I’m thinking to use it for the “catch-all” in the car. All those loose items that you always need to have in the back of the car…. you know, like snacks and water and baby wipes!

    P.S. All the school info. you have provided (including past posts) have been such a blessing to me this summer. The Lord has really used them to confirm where He was leading us. Thanks for taking the time to share. He has lead us in many of the same directions as your family.

    P.P.S. I wish my husband worked at home too! :)

  142. i like the idea for library books especially since it is so stylish and can easily fit in with a living room! Great products!

  143. I think it is perfect for library books. It’s nice for having out and big for the many books we homeschooling families borrow at one time.

  144. Hey, I’m glad you put this up. I’m not in the same situation, but the advice still applies. Thank you. Praise God! WOOT!

    • ps, for somereason, I didn’t get to the right blog post, I refer to the one about wishing your husband worked from home. THANKS!

  145. I have one of these and love it! We used it this summer for our pool bag. It was big enough to hold all pool toys and our large beach towels. I am wanting one for my niece for Christmas so thought I would share my thoughts with you.

  146. i agree that this would make a fabulous library book bag. that’s what i would use it for, anyway.
    thanks for hosting this giveaway :-)

  149. This tote could have so many uses. I would love to have one…or two or three!!!! I would want one for the car to keep all books and toys together and one to keep all of our unit study books together too.

  153. I think that tote would work nicely at the beach. I don’t know if you have a beach near you, but I do and that was the first thing I thought of. :)

  154. I’d keep one in the car too….. I shop at Aldi and it’s nice to put things straight from the cart into a big sturdy bag. it would also be nice beside the fireplace to store newspapers and small peices of kindling in for starting the fire!

  155. I’d love to put one in the back seat of our van for my son’s “toys”. One for library bag .. or maybe a couple, one for each kid? … I’m afraid I’m not very good at outside of the box.

    I live in 2 houses … we sleep in my house, cook there, working on turning the living room into personal craft/play zones for each of our 4 kids (tiny single wide trailer) … but my Dad lives next door, and he’s letting us use 2 of his rooms, so one we use for school and projects and the other we set up as a living/family room – now our toddler has a safe place to play during the day.

    But things are forever needing to go back and forth between the two houses – would be great to have 2 large bags, just put whatever needs to go next door into the bag, and whenever we go next door, we just take the bag with us.

    Right now we use laundry baskets – but I think these would be so much easier to tote back and forth.

    They also come in a variety of styles, so if I were to assign each child and myself a style, we could organize tighter and everyone would know whose was whose at a glance.

  156. Sorry. No time to browse the catalog, but that bag is huge! Also, I had NO idea that 31 was a Christian company. Now I feel bad for not going to the parties I was invited to.=( Oh well.

  158. I think it would be a lot of fun and make for a different kind of day to pack up your large tote with school materials and snacks and head outside somewhere for school…a park, the woods, etc… I also use their small bag with pockets on the outside to hold my pencils, flashcards, dice, etc…

  159. I think the large utility tote would be a great bag for my girls to carry their home-ex class supplies in! Perfect for it! I also think the Organizing Utility Tote would make a great diaper bag…..so many uses I can think of for all their great products! LOVE their catalog! :)

  162. I had never seen the catalog so I looked through and Wow,I was impressed with the items and the pricing..We buy milk from a farm and I think this would be a great way to carry the empty bottles back to the farm and re load it!!So many options,library books is a great idea to use it for..God bless,have a great day!

  163. i think the large utility tote would be great for the park/playground. we go nearly every day and this tote would be awesome!

  166. I did not know that they were a Christian company. That makes me feel a little better about the high prices.

    I love my thirty-one bag that has pockets around the outside for a diaper bag. It was given to me as a gift and I was surprised how well the stuff in the outside pockets stays in the pockets. I would like to have a small one to use as a diaper caddy since we have three levels to our home. It would be nice to have all the stuff in 1 spot when asking one of the older children to run grab it for me.

    I also really love your library book idea. I can quickly see how that is becoming an issue around here.

  168. I looked through the catalog first time ever, and I was very impressed. I had never heard of this product before, and I must say I fell in love.

  170. I would definitely use mine for library books too, but a grocery/picnic basket would be fun

  175. I have one of the organizing totes in my car with books, toys, snacks & juice boxes for the kids, plus diapers & wipes tucked in a back pocket, so we’re always prepared when we’re on the road.

  176. I have two children with food alleriges, a husband who is diabetic, a baby with cloth diapering… we homechuch, this bag would be awesome to carry all of the ‘stuff’ we take with us. Insulin shots, eppipens, personal food needs, extra baby toys… you name it!

    Also – I love bags and purses! I have never heard of 31 before. I will be going back to finish looking at the catalog!

    :)

  177. I would definitely using mine for all of the my sewing accessories, current sewing projects with their necessary material and any other sewing needs. It would be easy to move around wherever I decided to set my machine up.

    My sister has a large utility tote and used it on their vacation for all of their snacks. It looked very handy and convenient. I used 2 separate small suitcases to pack our snacks in and it was hard to get into and took up too much room. Her tote definitely seemed more efficient. Thank you!

  178. This bag can be used for SOO much! Homeschool supplies, beach, car, toys…anything! Love it!

  180. That bag looks like it would be perfect as a long car trip throw all the snacks/drinks in bag!

    I also love the idea of having it sitting on your guest bed when guests come to stay with their towels, extra sheets, and any special gifts in it.

  181. I think it would be great to store all the puzzles and manipulatives for my preschooler so they would be close at hand!

  182. I think the large tote would be great to keep in the car, for toys or for blankets, etc. My two step-children live three hours away, so I’m always thinking of ways to make the trip more comfortable for them and for our daughter, so that’s the first thing that popped into my head! :)

  185. I think the tote would be great to hold dry goods when you go on a weekend trip, especially the bread. It never fails that my loaf of bread gets smashed before we even make it to our destination.

  186. I have friends who have bought from 31 and the stuff I see I love. The large tote I would use for homeschool supplies on the go.

  188. I love the tote and honestly would use it for the same as you have planned! Definitely an improvement over the plastic tub currently in my living room :o )

    I can also see it being useful for so many other things…beach, picnic, games, mending basket.

    Love it!

  191. One for each child for library, or school work, and one for the back of the van, and my husband’s truck. One for misc. soft indoor sports things we use during very blustery winter days. One for camping, fishing, hunting, picnicking, or hiking. Portable diaper changing station. Stash of dry goods stored behind the couch – shh, don’t tell. Ahh, the possibilities.

  193. it would be great to carry food to a pinic if the items aren’t temperature sensitive. I have one of the organizer bags in this print and love it. I use it as a diaper bag.

  199. I love the bag from 31 that has outside pockets and can fit a hanging file folder container inside. I want this for carrying around my daily homeschool plans etc.

  206. Hi Amy! I think that big tote would be great to keep things organized in the van. You know how things slide around under the seats in our big vans? We could keep jackets, sunscreen, wipes, etc. in there and not have to worry about them sliding all over the place, but when we need to take them out, it will be easy to just pick up the bag and go. I know a friend who uses hers to take to swim meets. I’m not sure how she uses it, but I can envision keeping sunscreen, snacks, a book to read, etc. and automatically repacking each weekend with freshly folded towels right out of the laundry, all ready to go for the next meet. LOVE these products!

  207. I love these bags…i used mine at Christmas to tote all the gifts from house to house. I’ve used them as a grocery bag.. I’ve used them at the beach…i’ve used them when going on the picnic. There are so many things to use these large totes for…enjoy!!

  208. I’m not sure where you live, but if its anywhere close to the beach it would be a great bag to put snacks/towels/etc in. Also, if you travel you could use it for snacks and/or books/games.

  209. I love thirty one gifts!! I also have a large utility tote and would love another one!! Theyre great! I use mine to take to sams and aldis since they don’t have grocery bags! They can hold so much! Also great to take dishes to church dinners, A casserole pan can just fit down inside!

  210. From a suggestion on another blog, I’ve started using a big bag like that as a portable office, since our homeschool space is reduced this fall, and I have less office space. I’m going to keep tape, staples, scissors, construction paper, hole punch, etc. in there plus my homeschool planner and binder. This bag would be great for that!

  211. That bag woud make a wonderful picnic basket! I love having one ready and waiting to just add food and go.

  214. What a wonderful tote. I can imagine using it for a million things – picnics, library runs, toy catcher…

  216. I love the big tote bag! I would prob. use it for a library bag too or in the car on trips to store games and snacks. I also love their diaper bags!

    Thanks!

  217. I love the 5 pocket utility tote. It is great for the pool to store your toys and towels and use the pockets for sunscreens and bottled water. It is also versatile enough that it makes an awesome diaper bag, with all of the pockets it offers.

  218. I’m looking for a flat basket that would keep diapers neat under my baby’s pack-n-play. It looks like the serving tray basket may do the trick.

  219. I think this would be good for taking “everything” to the kids’ games and field trips. It would probably be good for keeping track of everything in the car as well.

  220. Didn’t read everyone else’s posts so might be duplicated, but I would use it if I needed to do homeschool in the car one day for supplies and curriculum. Also would use it to grab all those last minute things everyone needs when you leave the house that usually make your hands overflowing (blankies, dolls, books, papers, sippy cups, snacks). Also would be good for a quick clean or to hold stuff that goes in other rooms when you are cleaning. Use to clean out the car with for all the stuff that has to go back in the house.

  221. I think that tote would be great for collecting odd toys and books that need to be put away. I use a laundry basket, but I’d rather have a pretty tote!

  225. You had me at “tote bag” – I’m a fan – what can I say?

  227. I’d love that tote as a library bag. We’ve outgrown our smaller one. I love the utility tote, too. All of those pockets would be quite handy. I like to keep a bag ready with quiet activities for the children to grab and go. We frequently will have to wait, somewhere (dr. appt, oil change, etc.), or use for short road trips to visit Grandpa.

  230. I would so use this as a library tote, a work tote, an overnight bag, for a get away with my dh, a bag to pack toys for the kids, a snack bag, a caddy for things to do in the car, a place to put my reading books beside my bed…Oh the possibilities are endless! I love, love, love these bags!!!

  232. I would use it to pack up stuff so we could go somewhere and do our homeschooling. Could use it just for a little getaway somewhere in the park to have some quiet time too.

  233. I sell Scentsy wickless candles and I have a large utility tote that I take most of my products to a party in. I also love using it for camping stuff, going to the beach, picnic stuff, sports, games for game night at friend’s (moms’ night out!), Christmas gifts, birthday party gifts, garage sale finds, shopping at Sam’s Club. I would love to have one to put in the back of our minivan so that everything doesn’t roll around. Hope these ideas help! :o )

  235. Use your large tote at the grocery store instead of plastic bags. You can all use the Market Thermal tote to carry your frozen items home.

  236. Amy, Your tote would be great as a portable diaper/ baby needs caddy to keep in the schoolroom, living room, downstairs, etc.

  240. I would use it for a bag to keep all their travel games, color books, crayons, books etc while on trips or out camping etc. It is perfect for an activity bag!

  243. I have one of the lunch bags and love it…have used it for lots of little things including taking a couple of sippy cups of milk on trips to packing my lunch for a picnic. I’m sure there’s a million and one other ways I could use it!

  244. I’ve been eyeing the LARGE tote to use for outings, like baseball games. It is the perfect size to pack snacks for the kids, a blanket, a few toys, etc. I would LOVE to win this!! Thanks for the AMAZING opportunity!! :)

  249. I LOVE 31. Used to be a consultant before my last pregnancy and then was too sick to continue. I LOVE my large utility tote. I use it as a laundry basket because when finished it doesn’t get in the way. I also use it for toting Christmas gifts to places around the holidays. We always check out 20-30 books at a time at the library so i LOVE your idea.

  253. I would use the Large Utility Tote in he back of my Suburban to keep stuff from rolling around back there.

    I just ordered the OUT in ‘Harvest Floral’ to be my new diaper bag. SO excited!!

  254. I think the best use for a large utility tote is to take it in the store with you to carry groceries in the cart with, instead of using 31 (hee hee) different reusable bags… The square utility tote is best used in my daughters closet for her shoes… The mini organizer is best used for fingernail polishes, removers, cotton balls, q tips and any other accessory for toes… and the littles carry all caddy is best for Scrapbooking Scissors, ya know the cute decorative ones!
