Today I’m starting a new thing that may or may not become a regular feature: mirthmobile must-haves! These are things that are super awesome — and even sometimes super useful, as is the case with this inaugural endorsement. Without further ado, I give you the BAGGU bag:

I first came across BAGGU some years ago online via some blog or other. I know that I briefly entertained getting these for my bridesmaids as part of their gifts (they come in so many fun colors!) but ended up going another direction.
Back in the fall of this past year I happened upon BAGGU bags again. Perusing their website, I discovered an alpaca-print bag; I immediately placed an order for three, to be Christmas stocking stuffers for myself, my sister and my mom.
(Sidenote: these things are so hip now that J. Crew is selling them in exclusive colors, and Madewell carries them too. They’re all the rage!)
I’ve been big on reusable grocery bags since my year in Germany. I’ve used several different kinds, and BAGGU is by far the most convenient and cool. I keep mine in my purse at all times, because it takes up hardly any space; it’s also handy to not have to remember to take something into the store with which to tote my groceries, because it’s always with me. It folds up flat back into its pouch, so I just stash it in my purse again as soon as I unpack it at home. (I also get lots of compliments on it from grocery store cashiers.)
Anyhoo, go forth and check out baggubag.com. There are multiple sizes and shapes, and even a few in leather for you high-rolling style mavens out there. You’re welcome.
