Whenever our family travels, I have one souvenir for which I always look for. That souvenir is a tote carryall. I have collected tote cases from Disneyland and Mexico. I have them from our weekend trips to the coast as well as cruise ships. This one souvenir is always used. No one would think of traveling without one or more tote bags.
Tote cases are useful from the moment you buy them. If you need a little more room in your luggage, then grab a tote to give your suitcase a little breathing room. They fold flat, so it is easy to toss one in the luggage as you pack, just in case you do not find a new perfect tote case on the trip. They are a good size for a carryon handbag and stow easily under your seat in a plane. Apart from that, they are no where near as costly as d a designer handbag.
Tote cases are normally about thirteen by 20 inches or thereabouts and can be made of nylon, canvas, leather or plastic. My personal favorites are the canvas. They are the perfect size for many things around the home and at work.
Tote handbags are a great gift for teachers. They can transport papers to and from school for grading. Demonstration projects can be gathered together and transported to school in a tote handbag. They are study enough to transport text books too.
Crafters will find that totes work well for keeping items needed for a craft in one place. There is no need to search your craft room for supplies when everything is contained in one tote case. They are a great size for three skeins of yarn and a pattern book. I would never travel without one of my trusted tote bags.
Tote bags are also great re-usable shopping carryalls. They are much more interesting than those cheap bags sold by stores. They are also more durable. Each time you shop, you can be reminded of a fun family trip as you bring home the your supplies.
