I'm a huge fan of customized pet items. Every Christmas my tree is packed with ornaments featuring the names and pictures of my cats through the years. Since losing Truffles just two short years after Tara, I've been on the lookout for special ways to honor my two precious little girls, who will forever be linked to each other in my heart.
When the opportunity to review a custom tote bag from Tote Tails arrived, I knew that I had found what I'd been looking for. I uploaded pictures of Tara and Truffles (premade silhouettes of popular dog and cat breeds are also available), and within just a couple days I received a mock up in my email with the options to make any changes that I would like. The placement of paw prints and wording is completely up to you too.
These custom totes are a truly unique & wonderful gift idea or way to treat yourself to something special. The price is outrageously low, the designs are classy and fun, and the tote itself is extremely well made and durable.
And...10% of every product purchased on totetails.com goes directly to benefit the SPCA, Humane Society and other animal welfare organizations. Nothing makes me happier than supporting small businesses that help animals.
Product Features:
* A unique hand-painted silhouette likeness of your pet.
* High quality 12 oz. heavy canvas tote bag material.
* 14" X 15" X 4" dimensions mean you can fit all of the goodies from your farmer's market trip into one bag.
* 21" straps allow for a comfortable carry and easy access to contents inside the tote bag.
* A carrying capacity that easily exceeds 25 lb's.

Full disclosure: I received a customized tote from Tote Tails in exchange for my fair and honest review. Receiving free product did not influence my opinion about it; all opinions expressed on this site are my own. I only feature products I have used or would use or that I feel are of interest to readers.
What a nice idea! A human can never have too many tote bags, especially with photos of the fur children.

ReplyDeleteThese customized tote bags are a great idea. It's a beautiful homage to Truffles and Tara!
ReplyDeleteI hope that would be a local Humane Society chapter you can still (somewhat) trust, not the H.S.U.S. whose president's stated goal is "One more generation and they're out" (meaning domestic animals are extinct).
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteI would design my tote with a picture of General and Nutmeg. My babies who have crossed over to The Rainbow Bridge.Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity! :)
