Personalized gifts to friends really show you go the extra mile to think about them and it’s a win win because you both have a good fuzzy feeling whether you’re on the receiving end or the giving! I received this gift from my friend Kathryn and it was one of the bridesmaid gifts she gave her team of 3 ladies before her big day. It was such a brilliant gift and I just had to share!
Customized Apolis Market Bag
She gave each of us the Apolis Market Bag with 3 words she thought of about our friendship or words that came to mind when thinking of us. How freaking thoughtful, right?! My words are Vino, Inspire, Intentional and the year we became friends. Also side note, I get a warm fuzzy feeling every time I use the bag because my word in this phase of life is “Intentional” and to know that I talk about it enough, or it has rubbed off and people notice it then it is working!
This sized bag is great for the farmers market, carrying assorted items to and from places, bread from my favorite bakery or take it shopping and use less bags! There is even a picture on the website that has it holding rose and Perrier with ice!! The inside is water resistant, it can carry way more pounds than I can comfortably lift and lasts for 8 years.
The mothers in Bangladesh who handcraft these bags are paid fair trade wages, annual dividends and retirement funds. WHAAT! Breaking the poverty cycle and being stylish is just what I’m all about. This is an amazing Forbes article that talks about the project and work Apolis is doing in Bangladesh – Forbes.com
They also have lunch boxes, a variety of totes and a mini market bag for your little one. The only hard part is how creative can you get with your bags?! Birthdays, bridal shower gifts, fill it with baby goodies, this gift works for literally any occasion! Check out all of their products on the Shop Apolis Website!
