Thirty-One Gifts Cinch It Up Thermal Tote (Review & Giveaway)

When you're a mom, there's no such thing as owning too many snack, thermal, carry-all type bags. I have searched high and low for a practical, helpful and fully functional snack/lunch tote to carry Balian's things in since I stopped nursing. I started out with an ordinary little insulated baby bag, and we recently graduated to a larger lunch-type bag, which does the job I want it to do just fine, but it looks like a lunch bag... a big, ugly lunch bag.

Not long ago, friend to Mommy's Block Party, Jaclyn Liggett, who is an Independent Consultant with Thirty-One Gifts, hinted that she wanted to send me one of Thirty-One's newest Cinch It Up Thermal Totes for review. I couldn't wait to see it! Knowing that it was coming from Thirty-One Gifts left me feeling really good about it. I could be sure that it would look stylish and cute, and that it would be mom-friendly and functional.

Cinch It Up Thermal Tote in Leopard Floral...

Check out the awesomely long handles!

When the cinch tote from Thirty-One arrived, I was impressed right off the bat by the size of the bag! This thermal tote features more room than Thirty-One's classic thermal tote. The thermal cinch tote appeared to be extremely roomy, and I couldn't wait to put it to the test by squeezing a ton of stuff into it! Instead of it being shaped like a clunky square lunch bag, the tote is actually round. It's got a thermal lining, and pulls or cinches closed with a pull string. It has two straps for easy toting, too! Truthfully, it almost looks more like a cute little purse than a thermal tote! I love the pattern, too- I received the Leopard Floral Pattern. So cute for springtime! Who doesn't love that?

Lots of room for milk. Fruities, Goldfish, and other necessities!

I tested the cinch it up thermal tote the first time by using it on a Wednesday night tip to our church to enjoy a fellowship meal. We weren't planning on being there for more than an hour or two, so rather than bring a long a diaper bag (which is also a bag from Thirty-One), I could just bring the thermal cinch tote. I was able to put a bottle of milk, a chill pack, some yogurt, emergency chicken bites, a disposable changing pad, a couple of diapers, baby wipes and a couple of little toys all in the thermal cinch tote! And because of its handy little handles, I could carry it in my hand, or place it over my shoulder, if I wanted to, easily grab it from the car and zip right on into dinner at church. When I placed the bag down on the table before dinner, some of the other moms were asking me where I got my new tote, and I was happy to tell them that it came from a friend who represents Thirty-One. Of course, they all wanted to see that it really was a thermal tote, so I had to show them the inside.

See- told ya it sort of looks like a purse! Love it!

I've been using my new cinch it up thermal tote for our outings ever since that day! I love it so, so much! It's so easy to hang on the handle bar of the stroller, and I don't have to worry about spills, or it not keeping milk or juice cold, etc. I love being able to fit tons of things in it, without it becoming completely weighed down. It's extremely sturdy- it holds its shape really well, and if I do, by chance, have a little spill, it wipes clean quite easily! I wouldn't dream of going back to using the ugly old lunch tote we already had!

Like many of the items available from Thirty-One Gifts, the thermal cinch tote is available in a variety of really cute patterns that are perfect for moms, professionals, kids, and even dads! Use the cinch it up thermal tote any and everywhere! Use it as a thermal bag for the beach, for picnics, fill it with ice and keep adult beverages cold in style at parties and spring/summer BBQ's, give one to new parents as a cute gift, use it as a diaper bag, use it as a trash bin in the car, or keep it filled with emergency snacks, bottled water and wet wipes! Really, the things you could use this adorable and stylish tote for could run through my mind for days on end!
