BottleBag

Nicole Donohoe out Chicago-way (Go, Bears!) suggested this item in an email yesterday.

She wrote, "I may sound pretentious [no, you don't — but I digress] but this bag screams EUROPE to me. It makes me imagine riding my bike from the store with this bag in the basket filled with wine and perhaps a baguette or two."

"I bought a few of these in Italy this [past] fall to give as gifts (7€ — about $9) and they were a huge hit."

So for a change you get a review from a user instead of me waxing poetic about stuff I've never seen, held nor used.

BottleBag

The price is not a misprint!

This versatile canvas bag is really only $9.

Designed to hold up to 9 bottles without hearing the glass clink & clank while you travel, the BottleBag is the perfect take-along to the wine store, grocery store, party or picnic.

Or, if you don't feel like using it for bottles, why not store your socks?

Think of it, you can separate by color, style or length in 9 neat little compartments.

Okay, maybe that's not how you'll use YOUR bottle bag, but it does prove its versatility.

11.5"H x 9.5"W x 9.5"L (open).

Two tear-proof straps.

Polyester.

Orange, Lime, Beige or Black.
