Welcome to our Simple Holiday Gift Bag in which instead of doing a "gift guide", we do that AND give them away to our readers. All the info is below. Happy Holidays!
We love reusable tote bags, especially the ones that are easy to store and remember ... That's why we really like these flip & tumble bags -- they roll up into a tiny ball that you can stuff into any purse (or cargo pants pocket?). The bags can be purchased for $15 on flip & tumble's site, but why not comment below and potentially win a pair for free?

I have one! They're amazing - The fabric seems like what they use for backpacking tents.

I can't get enough of resuseable totes. I stuff them in both of our cars (yay, Prius!) but it seems like we're always one short at the store.
view leanneabe's profile
Oooh, I always forget to bring bags- I need to keep one on me at all times!
view smartmer's profile
smatmer - I always forget mine too! These would be perfect to add to my collection, so maybe I might not be so forgetful.

I normally keep a tote bag with me but it's bulky--these seem like a better option!

I brought back reusable grocery bags from Australia for a number of people, they had them for 99 cents at the market well before the US was on the bandwagon. but i would love one to keep on me or in the car always!
view ljh's profile
the smaller they get, the more practical it is to keep one with you. it's hard to keep a canvas bag on hand all the time, but these synthetic material ones crush down to something more compact halfway decently. with any luck it'll be able to fit into a smaller pocket than the ones on cargo pants!
view muffinman's profile
I'd love one of these for my purse. My hubby and I already have a rule that we cannot take plastic or paper, so this would prevent me from overflowing my pockets, purse and arms for the walk home!
view peaceami's profile
so convenient, and so cute!
view bsc's profile
These would be great to bring to the grocery store! Keep in my purse until i'm ready to check out, very handy.

I love reusing bags! It is fun to piss off the check out people at the uncool stores by having my own bags.
view marid22's profile
yes, so easy to keep with me and not gather up large quantities of plastic bags

I need this! I am car-less and constantly lugging stuff home from the grocery store, etc. I have some reusable bags I use but they don't scrunch up and aren't nearly as cute.

I feel so bad when I come home from the store with a load of plastic bags that I just throw away. These would be the perfect solution.

These look like they would take up less space in my purse. Sometimes it's better to not have a bag. That way I don't buy more than I can carry in my two hands!

I could totally use these! Looks like they'd fit nicely in a small diaper bag.
view Kristi's profile
I try to reuse bags when I go shopping, but I always seem to forget to bring them - don't remember til I get to the store. If I had bags this small, I think it'd be easier to remember - just put them in my purse after emptying them from a trip!
view leonad's profile
I would LOVE some of these! With a new baby, I never have a free hand for grocery bags -- something that I could store in the stroller and whip out on those last minute grocery trips would be great!
