Oh, how I love Thirty-One Gifts! I could probably count more than thirty-one reasons why I just absolutely love their wonderful products, their prices, their hostess plan, their opportunity and their consultants! I especially love that Thirty-One Gifts Director Kerry Perkinson has joined MBP as one of our Spotlight Sponsors, and will be bringing us wonderful products from Thirty-One every month- and including giveaways for our readers!
Kerry knows how important it is for moms to have great products that are practical, functional and reliable. She kindly offered to send me one of Thirty-One's very famous Large Utility Totes to review. I have seen these totes everywhere, and just about every girl I know around my town has one... or even a few of them. My sister-in-law brought all of the Christmas presents for the kids in on Christmas morning in a Large Utility Tote from Thirty-One, and I thought that was a neat way to carry a bunch of stuff all at once. So, when Kerry told me she'd be sending me one of these totes, I was super excited!
Large Utility Tote from Thirty-One Gifts in Circle Dots...
Kerry chose to send me the Circle Dots pattern, which is extremely popular, and is an absolutely cute and fun pattern to be using this spring and certainly this summer! When I received my new Large Utility Tote, it was all folded up, so I propped it up and stepped back to examine it. Large doesn't even begin to describe this amazing tote! When my husband saw it sitting on our dining table, he exclaimed, 'that thing is huge!' Uh-huh... just what every mom needs!
Here's the Large Utility Tote holding some of my items waiting to be reviewed...
I kind of like this idea! I could get another one personalized that says 'Review Me!' on it!

I immediately knew that I first wanted to use it on a shopping trip. We love shopping at Aldi, and you have to use your own shopping bags or pay for theirs. It never fails that we walk into the store, and I have forgotten my shopping bags. When I'm shopping with my husband, it's not so bad- but when this happens when Balian and I are out on our own, it's a nightmare! We toted our new large utility tote from Thirty-One along to the store with us, and it was a huge help! We were able to load it up with all of our purchased grocery items, and bring everything into the house in one bag. Say goodbye to ten trips back out to the car!
Just in from the grocery store... holds everything so nicely! Look at how there's no collapse of the bag in certain places, either... keeps its shape really well!
This is what happens when my husband packs the groceries, but nonetheless, this worked perfectly for us!
We also used it for a recent trip to the park. We had a freakishly warm day, and I wasn't about to spend it inside. We loaded our large utility tote with our picnic blanket, a ball, some snacks, first aid essentials, etc and had an easy time getting the things we needed to our picnic spot!
Just this past Saturday, I was in charge of bringing dessert to a huge (all day) church planning meeting. I made dessert in two of my Celebrating Home Bean Pots, and the Large Utility Tote from Thirty-One was absolutely perfect for transporting them! I even had extra room for a couple of bags of pretzels, a water bottle and my day planner. Everyone at the planning meeting commented on that bag, and one guy even said that the bag is big enough for me to tote Balian around in!
Large Utility Tote in Black Parisian Pop: $30.00
I love this pattern! Would go perfectly in my bedroom!
I can see myself using this tote for all sorts of things. I can't wait to use it this summer when we take out family beach trip. It'd be a great bag to tote towels and beach toys, etc to and from the beach. It would even be the perfect thing for me to tote my plants around in when it's time for me to re-plant my annuals this spring. It sure would keep them from sliding around in the car, and it would also keep the dirt contained. Since I can easily wipe the Large Utility Tote clean, it's not big deal if it gets a little bit dirty. I can even see myself using this to tote my product in when I do Celebrating Home parties, vendor fairs, etc. It'd be a great and stylish way to bring my product to the table from the car!
Everyone could benefit from having one of these totes from Thirty-One Gifts. Whether you keep it in the house and use it to store things in, keep it in the car for transporting things, or use it as an activities bag, it won't let you down. It's sturdy, durable, wipeable, and did I mention how large it is!? Measures approx: 11.75”H x 21.5”W x 10”D! Oh, yeah- that's what's I'm talkin' 'bout! It's also collapsible, so it folds and stores quite easily.
Thirty-One Gifts has an amazing selection of practical gifts, and items for the home and on the go!
I think the Large Utility Tote would make a fantastic gift for just about anyone. You could even use it as a gift bag, and fill it with all sorts of essentials for college students, newlyweds, for a welcome wagon, a get well soon dinner or package, new moms, etc. You've just got to experience how much having a tote bag like this one can change your life- even if it's just reducing the amount of steps you have to take to get from point A to point B. This amazing tote is available in eleven patterns, and you can personalize it any way you wish!
Okay- I need the Aqua Dots, too! Perfect for our beach trip!

I think that the Aqua Dots Large Utility Bag would be great for all of those beach toys that we have. Cannot wait to see some of the summer patterns as well.
ReplyDeleteI aagree love the new spring patterns and cant wait fornew summer patterns.
DeleteI would use my tote to move my products (Tomboy Tools) around to events.
ReplyDeleteI used my Large Utility Tote today to bring all my goodies in from my visit to Sam's Club!
ReplyDeleteHm so many uses! My boys Toys, groceries, in the trunk for holding a first aid kit towels water etc., farmers market goodies...lots and lots :)
ReplyDeleteI use my Large Utility tote in my trunk to hold my daughter's toy and books.
ReplyDeleteI would use it for carrying my son's toys to and from! I travel to my grandmothers house everyday for her home health and I have a lot of toys to take!

I currently use two large totes to cart around my Chartreuse products to home parties and vendor events. Love them!

I would use it for everything! With 3 kids, we have lots of stuff we bring to pool, park, skiing, etc. It would come in very handy!

I would love to use it on all of our car trips, and going to the grocery store! It would make life so much easier than going back and forth to the car all the time!!
ReplyDeleteI have one and I use it DAILY!!!! I love carrying around my laundry in it. I take my clean clothes downstairs to fold while my children are playing. Then I put all my folded clothes back in it to take it upstairs. Carrying laundry baskets while carrying my baby down the stairs is just too difficult and awkward. With the large utility tote, I can just sling it across my shoulder and go!

ReplyDeleteThis would be a great item to carry my Wildtree products and small coolers in when doing an event. I didn't realize how roomy it is! :)
ReplyDeleteMoving my products from place to place
ReplyDeleteUse it in the car to take snacks, etc. when we go to yard sales or fishing (would leave it in the car when fishing). Or maybe to hold my books and magazines. Not sure.

I think this tote would be perfect to keep in the back of my minivan -- to store all of the "stuff" that I always have back there...and I could easily take it in & out!
ReplyDeleteceleste@mail4me.com
This bag looks like it would be great for outings with my two girls. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd use it for lugging groceries in from the car!

Love ThirtyOne Gifts. I could see where this tote would come in handy to keep blankets and cold weather things in the back of the car.
ReplyDeleteIt would be used to tote the books, crayons, and diapering supplies around! We have a box that slides around in the back of the van that has all of this stuff (as well as our first aid kit, water, and jumper cables lol) and it would be nice to have a utility tote so we could get rid of that crummy falling apart box and use something that works better, looks better, and wont slide around!

I would use this tote to carry my Jordan essentials products to shows
ReplyDeleteI would use this tote for my groceries, laundry, picnic's, business items, organizing my trunk, and for baby or bridal shower gift with goodies in it.
ReplyDeleteBeing that I'm a Celebrating Home and Usborne Books consultant, I would definitely be using the large utility tote for product or catalogs. During my "off" times, I'd definitely be using it in our car to keep all the crap in it...I'd call it my "crap keeper"!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I know your giveaway has ended, but I have a question about the tote - does it bother you that the bottom bulges when you carry things in it? It seems awkward since it has no hard bottom and stuff will just hang down. I am really not being critical; I just received one and I would love to hear someone else's opinion. Thanks.
