Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A internet-based purse rental company, with a Netflix style "all you can eat" monthly membership.
Why we love it:
The purse junky. You know who we're talking about, you've stood around and waited as they've transferred all of their belongings to the latest purse, the one that matches their new outfit and is so hip for this fall. You've shaken your head in dismay as they've agonized over yet another incredibly expensive little clutch, or shiny new hobo bag, knowing that in the end they would probably go into hock to get that newest candy colored little bag. Their devotion to the world of accessories knows no bounds, they're near religious in their following of all the designer trends, and chances are, they're driving you crazy.
Fear not, we have the solution. Calm your accessory-addict's cravings with a membership to "Bag, Borrow or Steal", the internet based, handbag borrowing club. For a monthly fee ranging from small, to fairly exorbitant, you can buy your bag-obsessed buddy an all-you-can-eat pass to borrow as many handbags as their little heart desires. The different fees effect how many handbags you have to pick from, all membership levels allow unlimited borrowing, and provide access to the Bag, Borrow or Steal outlet store, where like-new bags can be purchased at bargain basement prices. It's a sweet deal for any purse maven, and will probably keep her from being crushed by debt in the search for the next hot look. Bring a smile to her face and keep her out of debtor's prison, what more can you hope for from a gift?
Who we'd give it to:
Purse addicts, fashion mavens, style queens, and people who simply cannot have enough ways to carry their cellphone and keys around.
Where to get it:
From
Bag, Borrow or Steal themselves, for membership prices that start at a stylish $19.95
