Thirty-One Bags $25 Giveaway (And story about my vacation!)

As you may remember, I recently went on a trip to Louisiana.  For the most part, it was very enjoyable!  I ate a ton of great food and had fun with relatives!   There were a few things that put a damper on our trip and one of them happened to be my purse!   Yes, I am in need of a new purse because the one I have had for ages broke.  The strap died and I almost lost it.   

A few hours before our plane was to leave back to Utah, I couldn't find my purse with my photo ID!    It's a longer story than I care to tell, but we found it, rushed to the airport and made it home as planned.   BUT after that panicking experience and our little campout (our family of 5 spent a sleepless night on the hard floor of the Houston airport due to a lovely storm), I came to realize that quality BAGS are an important part of life!

In honor of my nerve-wracking experiences, I introduce Thirty-One Gifts.  Thirty-One Gifts is a direct sales company that provides people with bags, purses, baskets, organizational supplies and more!

A kind Thirty-One consultant named Shannah Coe let me go shopping in her virtual catalog to see how she could help make my life easier and less stressful.   I found A LOT of items I wanted and many that I needed.  Here are just a few!
How cute and feminine is this ruffle mini zipper pouch?   I want....3! 


This sleek and elite skirt purse looks so sophisticated.

You know what is cool about this fitted dark denim purse?  It is the same purse as the previous purse only swapped out with a different "skirt" for a more casual look.  Change the look of your purse with a few snaps!  I love creativity like that.   You don't have to keep emptying the contents of your purse.  You just change the outer shell!  
You are probably wondering what kind of "bag lady" I am.  Well, I am a crossover lady.  I need both hands free to chase the kiddos wherever we go.   This crossover bag rocks because it zips open at the bottom to free up more space for all our "necessities."   This would be MY bag/purse of choice!
Need some thermal totes for camping, picnics, school lunch or work?   Thirty-One carries a ton of different styles and fabrics.


Not only does Thirty-One Gifts carry bags, they offer great collapsible storage cube for home organization.  (Does that mean it will automatically organize my home or guarantee that my kids will put their toys in it?  If so, I need 50 of these!!!)

This basket would be great for a cute way to store magazines, mail, hand towels or toilet paper rolls.  It would definitely make my bathroom look more beautiful and function better.
 
I could go on and on!!!!!

Shannah is also very kind in letting YOU get in on shopping.   She is giving away a  $25 gift certificate
towards any item(s) from her catalog!  She is going to solve your bag problems too!  

 If you are like me, you never win anything.  So to all of us UNLUCKY people, she is offering
10% off to anyone who emails her with a purchase.  

Additionally, the current customer bonus is a $25 organizing utility tote for only $7 when a you spends $31 or more.

So, let's get shopping with Shannah and make our lives easier!

  10. I'm loving the crossover bag because I like having my hands free, but the skirt purse would be great for when I go out and it's just adults! No cheerios, sippy cups, or changing pads to haul around as well!

  31. This is so wild! There was a gal in front of me in the checkout line last Saturday. She pulled out her wallet and I just had to comment on how pretty it was. I had never heard of Thirty-one before. She told me it was a Thirty-One in the Grey Quilted Poppy if I wanted to order one online. Now I see this today!??!!?! Too much! I want that very wallet and I'd also like the Grey Quilted Organizing Crossbody Bag too. There are also many other items in the catalog I'd love to own as well. Oh wow!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I have heard of thirty-one before- in fact, I have a Cindy tote and I use it everyday for work- I LOVE it. It is very well made and holds up well. If I won, I would order the organizing wallet- I looked at it several times but could only afford one thing. I would agree with you- a good, well made purse is everything.

  33. I have to pick just one?! They have so many cute things!!
