Cool Gift of the Day
Wednesday, November 16, 2005
What it is:
A cleverly packaged gift certificate for a custom-designed messenger bag from Timbuk2.
Why we love it:
When it comes to bags, we're sick of the ordinary. We want bags that
do something or
save the environment, or failing that, at least, look really cool. A good bag is more than just a place to store their stuff, it's an expression of their personal style and a constant handy companion. There's not just one bag to suit every need. There is, however, one gift to suit every bag. The Timbuk2 Bag in a Box is that gift, and its a way to give them "exactly" the bag that they need. The Timbuk2 company specializes in custom designed bags to fit any lifestyle, and the Bag in a Box is a cunning and fun way to package a gift certificate for their very own custom messenger bag. They can peruse the Timbuk2 website and select all the color and style options that they want and in no time at all they'll have their own custom designed bag.
Who we'd give it to:
College students, busy telecommuters, teens.
Where to get it:
From
REI for a boxy $100.
