"I love my pouch of envirosax bags. I can stash them in my purse or the
glove compartment of the car so that they are always ready to go when I
need them. Having them altogether in a little pouch makes such a
difference and is so much easier in the grocery store than lugging
around a big pile of other reusable bags. Their size is great and they
are super strong. Recently, my husband and I did some shopping as we
walked along Yonge street with our son in Toronto. By the end, his
stroller was quite a site with bags filled with our purchases hanging
off of it everywhere...but, hey, at least they were stylish!"

As I've mentioned before I love using my shopping dollars to make a positive change, so I am thrilled to be teaming up with Giving Gifts
again. This fair-trade, eco-friendly, and fabulous online shop carries a
lovely selection of gifts for babies, kids, pets, and adults. Every
item they carry has been thoughtfully chosen to be ethically produced
and Giving Gifts makes a donation to charity for each gift bought.
This
mom-owned Canadian gift store is committed to helping you find the
perfect ethical gift for absolutely everyone on your list. Giving Gifts
has a great selection of natural toys, green lunch products,
natural art supplies, and the coolest green essentials. I also really
love how each gift bought from Giving Gifts comes with a card outlining
how your purchase has given to others. For the Envirosax Bag that I
tried, Giving Gifts made a donation to Carli's Kids to
help build the new Abetavu Children's Village. I completely recommend
you visit Giving Gifts and buy the change you want to see.
I had a chance to try one of the wonderful green
Envirosax Bags
from Giving Gifts. Envirosax re-usable bags feature a wide variety of
hip, modern, and unique graphics that make going green look oh so
stylish. I have been using the nature themed
Bird Envirosax Bag
and it is so bright and fun. It was designed by Animal Planet (my fave
channel) and it aways reminds me of one of the reasons I am committed to
environmental responsibility- my love for animals and nature. This bag
is completely ethical too; its made under a fair trade agreement and its
use keeps thousands of plastic bags from polluting our precious earth.
Besides being completely beautiful, the
Envirosax Bag
is a very well designed re-usable bag. It is made with super strong
polyester that holds up to 44 pounds and is conveniently waterproof and
washable. I also really love that Envirosax fold up so small, it makes
it easy and convenient to always have one on hand. Envirosax re-usable
bags can be used for just about everything- I take mine to the farmers
market, the grocery store, use it as a beach bag, and will be buying
them to use as gift bags this Christmas.
Giving Gifts
sent me an Envirosax for review and I love it! I have tried them out
before and they are by far my favorite reusable bag that I have ever
tried! They are made with the highest standards and best quality, they
hold up to 44lbs and rolls up to about 2x3 inches! I love them. They are
so stylish, coming in all sorts of prints and styles, they even have
some kids ones!
I love that there was a little
insert in the bag that tells me who benefits from my purchase! The
environment was first of course because it saves many many other bags
from going in to the landfill. The Envirosax are also ethically made
with helps out the workers in China! Giving Gifts makes a donation to
help build the new Abetavu Children's Village in Uganda!
How is that for a feel good gift! Giving Gifts also sells toys, natural art products, and more! Be sure to check them out!
