BAGGU Bags Make the Season Bright

We adore BAGGU Bags. They are so much more than just reusable shopping bags!

Perfect stocking stuffers, these bags fold into a small pouch and come in all lovely colors of the rainbow. We've given them as gifts to teachers, speakers at events, even the mail carrier, and they never cease to "wow". Mini-Fashion Ethic's teacher from two years ago still raves about what a great gift hers was :)

And they aren't only a "keeps on giving" type of gift - check out the video below to find out how you can use BAGGUs to give before they get by wrapping presents with BAGGUs. And then hit up the shop to grab your own before they sell out (we always do this time of year!)



Still not persuaded? How about the fact that they've been featured in InStyle, Daily Candy, Lucky, and TeenVogue, among other style bibles. Plus, BAGGU was founded by a mother-daughter team with the purpose of doing good.

Holiday Spotlight: It's the Little Things that Count

Give stocking stuffers and Hannukah gifts that really make a difference. At Fashion Ethic we've filled our shop with items that will be used and appreciated by everyone on your list for many years to come. These are gifts that combine style and substance to show how much you truly care.


For the Kids: Every kid wants to find a sweet surprise with their holiday treats. Yummy Earth Candy Drops and Lollipops are perfect because they were developed by two dads who wanted to find a good alternative to the artifically flavored-corn-syrup-heavy options. Yummy Earth is organic, uses only natural ingredients, and is kosher as well as being essentially allergy-free. The Moonjar Bank comes folded up, so it's easy to wrap or slip in a stocking. When assembled, it has 3 sections for "deposits" - Save, Share, and Spend. The lessons of sharing and of saving are more important now than ever.



For the Baby: Organics aren't just for food! Since your skin is the largest organ you have, it's just as important to care for what you put ON your body as you do IN it. Kee-Ka Organics makes tyke-size onesies, tees, and bibs in holiday motifs. Check out Kee-Ka and their Snowflake, Little Elf, and Shalom designs today!


For Her: Whether it's your mom, your sister, your grandma or your girlfriend, all the women in your life deserve safe cosmetics. Ko Denmark Organic Lotion uses natural ingredients and is paraben-free with a subtle jasmine and neroli scent. Tsi-La Organic Perfume Set contains four mini rollerball scents for mixing and matching - but it does NOT contain any synthetic ingredients! And what woman doesn't want one-of-a-kind jewelry to match her one-of-a-kind personality? The "upcycled" pieces we carry at Fashion Ethic are not only eco-friendly, but handmade and completely unique.


For Him...Well, For Everyone Really!: Reusable isn't just good for the planet - it's good for YOU too. The SIGG bottle is PBA-free, so you don't have to worry about chemicals leaching into water. SIGG's hard-to-find sport bottle is now available at Fashion Ethic as well as kid sizes. And going "reusable" can be good to your pocketbook too! As more stores begin to charge for disposable bags, or give credits for using reusable bags, a BAGGU Bag will pay for itself in just a few trips to the grocery store. It comes in it's own 5" x 5" pouch and makes an excellent gift for teachers, co-workers, friends and family (and yes, it just might be the only reusable bag we've seen that a man would want to carry!)

Holiday Spotlight: The BAGGU Bag

One of our very best sellers at Fashion Ethic is the amazing BAGGU reusable shopping bag. Not only is one of the most affordable reusable shopping bags on the market, it also embodies our motto, "Fashionably Responsible" since it is eco-functional and stylish at the same time.

Each BAGGU holds 2-3 disposable plastic bags worth of product, but is small enough to fold into its own 5" x 5" pouch. They make fantastic stocking stuffers and gifts for everyone on your list (yes, even guys need bags!). We dare you to find another gift under $10 that will be used for years to come!

Countless Uses! Use them at the grocery store to reduce the use of plastic or paper bags, sure. But how about carrying an extra BAGGU in your glovebox, handbag, or even your suitcase for those times when you find yourself with a lot to carry. Or use them for laundry or dirty shoes at the gym. And as you can see above, they make excellent reusable gift wrap as you green up your gift giving throughout the year.

Eco-Friendly. Made of durable and lightweight ripstop nylon, the BAGGU was designed by a mother-daughter team with the environment in mind. The BAGGU pattern reduces material waste, as the pouch is made from scrap fabric. Because Baggu is so lightweight, its carbon footprint in traveling to you is small. In the end it is you who makes Baggu green, every time you use it instead of paper or plastic.

So Stylish. BAGGUs are available in several vibrant colors, as well as stripes and basic black, and they won't compete with your style. So forget about those unattractive prints or crazy patterns you see out there and go with the sleek and chic BAGGU.
