Daisy Bags Review & GIVEAWAY!

I LOVE bags – what chic-minded Mama doesn’t?! And if you’re anything like me, you have a bag for every occasion, maybe even 2 or 3! Enter Daisy Bags. Daisy Bags offers unique, must-have bags for every occasion you *thought* you had covered. You’ll easily be able to discard your ‘multiples’ for one well-made, affordable and fashionable Daisy Bag.

I was given the opportunity to review 3 products from Daisy Bags! The first product was this Dragonfly Bitty Bag.

The second was this Merimini in coordinating fabric.


This Dragonfly Bitty Bag is made of water-proof oil cloth. It has a super slim design and will hold all your essentials – cell phone, lip balm, tissues, pen, note paper. The Merimini is a get compliment to the Bitty Bag as it matches the lining of the Bitty Bag and is designed to hold your cards (driver’s license, bank and credit cards) and money. This combination is perfect for day trips to an amusement park or playground. You can feel comfortable leaving your diaper bag unattended knowing that you have the most important things with you. You would easily be able to ride on the amusement park rides without the added bulk of a regular sized purse. And because it’s waterproof, it would be GREAT for a splash pad, beach or pool side!

Also, because I have 3 little ones, it’s important for me to have all my hands free when we’re in a parking lot or public place. With the Bitty Bag, I have the option to wear it on my shoulder or cross-body. I will always choose cross-body when out with my 3 girls. It’s frees up my hands so I can hold theirs and feel safe about where they are in public places or parking lots.

The third product I reviewed, or actually my girls reviewed, was from Daisy Bags’ Kids’ Line. Check out this super cute Felt Paper Doll Bag.


My older girls (twin 5 year olds) are girly girls so I was excited to share the Felt Paper Doll Bag with them knowing full well they would enjoy it. Before even opening it Miss H had declared her love for it… anything ‘rainbow’ gets her approval regardless! As Mama suspected, the bag was a hit! And despite there only being one “felt girl” inside, the two of them played together creating outfits and situations for her! The pieces allowed for some imaginative play and the girls sat for an entire 20 minutes (after ballet class) fully engrossed only to be interrupted by dinner! What’s more, the little ‘felt girl’ is customizable and can have your own child’s hair color!


The Felt Paper Doll Bag features an outside pocket and zips around the entire three sides (so no pieces are lost) and offers a little carrying strap – this would be GREAT for long car rides!

Daisy Bags offers a number of different bags and products to suit your life and style needs. Check out this super cute “Scrappy Bag” – I love it. It has such personality!

I also fell in love with the Plain Jane/Quarter Dot CC Bag. It would be a perfect summer accessory!

Looking for a Wristlet or a Baby Pack? They carry these too in the most fantastic fabrics!


Take this Mom’s word for it, Daisy Bags is your one stop shop for carrying *everything* to carrying *essentials*. The products I received were well-made, highly practical and reasonably priced.

Jill at Daisy Bags has generously offered one of my readers a $25 Gift Certificate to use as you please!

I love the Oil Cloth Messenger bag with the dragon fly. It is a little girly, and I need a bag that is hands free. I am getting DS1 to carry the diaper bag, but still need hands to hold on to the other 2.
