My two year old is currently obsessed with bags and backpacks.  She likes to hoard small toys in them and carry them around with her.  It is actually quite cute to watch–I just have to make sure she doesn’t run off with my keys or cell phone.  Because she is having so much fun with this game, I think I may feed our Haba addiction with this great Solemio Little Bag for the holidays.

I love the gorgeous colors–the red is so deep and luxurious and the contrast between the red, pink, and green is really attractive.  The bag has a magnetic closure and pockets for all your little one’s treasures.  It is also machine washable.

You can purchase this bag for $7.99 at oompa.com.

Although we are still loving the Fleurville messenger bag/back pack that my older daughter got for school this year, she has already “misplaced” the lunch bag that came with it.  I’ve been environmentally remiss in allowing her to take paper bags to school.  We really need to get something reusable.  Luckily, I just discovered that Fleurville is now making a lunch box that matches the bag.  It is attractive enough that I think I can pass it off as a gift.  Plus, the colors are so bright that I’m hoping she won’t be able to lose track of this one.

Made from bright green and Pink Obo fabric, this lunch box is stunning.  I would even consider using it myself.  It is also a little larger than the bag that originally came with her backpack, and will fit quite a bit in it.  It comes with a detachable shoulder strap and has a padded handle.  It is PVC-free for safety.

Your child doesn’t need to be in school to enjoy one of these lunch boxes.  It is perfect for taking snacks to the park, or for small picnics.  I have yet to be disappointed by anything from Fleurville, and we are starting to build quite a collection of their products. You can purchase one of these cute little lunch boxes for $28 at fleurville.com.  A more masculine, Pirate Camo version is also available.

I already have a ridiculous number of diaper bags, but while on an otherwise uneventful baby shopping trip today, I fell in love with this one and couldn’t resist adding it to the collection.  I have always admired Petunia Pickle Bottom bags from a distance, but never bought one because I feared I would snag and stain the embroidered fabric.

What I love about this bag is that it incorporates the same kind of fun print that has made the company’s bags so popular, but the “glazed” finish provides a protective layer, making it easy to clean with just a damp cloth.  This is an absolute must for me!

I love the print of peacocks and trees in a gorgeous color scheme of purple, olive, and white.  The inside is very roomy, so I have no doubt that I will be able to convert this for use as an overnight bag when my kids are finally out of diapers.  With both backpack and shoulder straps, this bag is very versatile.  I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a sturdy and attractive bag.

You can purchase one for $162 at lavenderfieldsonline.com.

I have two Fleurville bags and love them, so I was extremely delighted to discover that the company has started making bags for kids.  I just ordered the Fleurville Kids’ Messenger Bag for my daughter this morning and I cannot wait to receive it.  In fact, I am going to have a hard time keeping my own hands off of it!

The bag can be used as either a messenger bag or a backpack, and the backpack straps can be stowed out of the way with ease.  The bag also comes with an insulated lunch bag.  Like all of Fleurville’s bags, it is well designed to hold a lot and use space effectively.  Most of all, it is extremely eye-catching. I hope that my daughter enjoys it as much as I do.

This bag would be great for a small child or also for a busy mom who needs to keep her hands free. You can buy one for $49.95 at Giggle.com.
