LL Bean Boat and Tote Bag $19-$64
It’s cute, timeless and wholesome. One size fits all. It can be personalized. She will have it for the rest of her life. She can use it for the beach this summer, carrying a laptop in the fall, hauling groceries one day when she has a place of her own, and even as a diaper bag one day. Who doesn’t need an extra tote? Best of all: it’s inexpensive.
You have to visit Chinatown next time you are in San Francisco. They sell all kinds of jade bangles and rings for super cheap here.
ReplyDeleteHow about a *customized* bean boat tote? I keep designing a black/red/natural one with their cool little online tool, but haven't gotten around to ordering it yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I especially love the umbrella and the Kate Spade clock. Lovely.
