Gym Visits

We’ve all experienced that post workout gym mood, you’re feeling drained, tired and on top of that you have to carry around a large sports bag. Whilst the tote bag won’t stop the feeling of being drained or tired, it will mean you’re not carrying around such a larger bag.Through most tote’s modest size, you can now carry your trainers, towel, water bottle headphones etc in a smaller but more convenient bag. Moreover, most gym lockers aren’t the most spacious so having a tote bag for the gym would allow for your belongings to slot nicely into those tight lockers.

Baby Bag

Following on from the earlier point about children’s toys, if there’s one thing we know about babies, it’s that they come equipped with dozens of items from toys to bottles, nappies, bibs, food, clothes etc. A tote bag is a handy storage option if you’re out and about and wish to have all the items in one place for ease of access.

Food Shopping

The most obvious and the one you probably see people using often. Whether it’s to do some Sunday morning shopping or a cheeky pop to the corner shop after work, the tote bag is a practical choice for grocery shopping through the strength of the material and adequate bag size.Tote bags are also a cheaper option long term, because who wants to be paying for plastic bags every visit to the checkout. Additionally in a world that is trying to be more environmentally friendly, the reusability of a tote bag means you’re using and throwing away less plastic bags.

Tote Bags can also be an excellent yet modest method of self-expression. People often look for ways to showcase who they are through clothing/accessories and tote bags represent an excellent way to do just that.Although many go for plain colour totes, others will use totes designed with unique artwork and phrases.

Both outings require similar necessities such as food, drinks, towels, speakers and tote bags are the perfect carryall for both occasions. Moreover, the last thing we want to do on such a fun outing is to be carrying around bulky baskets and containers.
