What do you think of these totes?

    I thought they'd make a cute gift/carryall for the BM's. Take one tote, add pashmina, wine, wine charms and other items and add a bow. Best part - if I get 4, I get free shipping! And between the BMs and my personal attendant, I have . . . 4!

    Thoughts?

    I like the idea of a tote, but what about totes with their names or initials monogrammed on them?? I love those! :)

    The tote is nice enough...I just don't really get the saying.  Does it have special meaning to you?

    I thought it was a cute/kitschy message. And applicable to the day. Maybe I'll look for something else and just get it for me.

    that design is/was big in home design, i've seen it bunches on apartmenttherapy.

    I like the tote! i would be wary about it going out of fashion, but should be ok for probably the life of a tote.

    I love it!!! But then again, I have a lot of family still in the UK where it originated (it's from WWI). My Cousin has an old poster from the 30's (not a modern copy) in his living room. Do you have family roots over there or will the people you're giving them to love it too? History buffs would love it too and you're right - I've seen it a lot more all over the place in the past 2-3yrs.

    I'm just "stuck" right now on their gifts. I know I want some sort of bag to put all the gifts in, but don't know what I want beyond it being something cute, something they'd use again, and something that's decent quality. Maybe I'm just crabby today and need to buy something to perk me up Wink

    @Goldilocks - I love this!  Maybe not so much for a bridesmaid, but certainly for another occasion.

    I like it too, but if your bridesmaids aren't into history or home design, they may not be familiar with it. I don't think that makes it any less cute or kitschy though!
