Two Cute Cactus Tote Bags - They're personalized too!

6/15/2019

0 Comments

 
In case you haven't noticed, I've been quite cactus crazy lately and because of that, I found two of the cutest cactus themed tote bags I've ever seen.  So... Of course I had to share them with you!

​Each of these totes can be customized for size, color, and style.  I think they'd work well for the bride-to-be, a student or anyone else who needs to tote stuff around with them.  Have a look!

This cute personalized tote bag has a southwestern feel with its 3 potted cacti.  Each cactus is different and has a different pot from the others.  Two of the cacti have flowers making it extra pretty for carrying around town while running errands.

This adorable tote is also personalized and has 3 potted succulent plants on it.  Only one of the plants is a flowering cactus.  The pots are again all different and the greenery is different too. 

I bet you have trouble choosing between the two to get the one you want!

Retro Red VW Camper Van Cooler
This has to be one of the grooviest coolers I've ever seen!

It looks just like a retro red VW camper van.

​You can use in either indoors or out and the lid flips open to make it easy to get at the good stuff you've filled it with.  ​It measures 33Lx15Wx18H and weighs in at 28 lbs.

​It's a bit expensive but then, the best Christmas gifts always are and it is something that your favorite old hippie or retro VW van lover will cherish forever.
