What We Did Next...







What We Did Next….

 

As our Total Bag Envy family knows, we NEVER do anything within the “norm”.  I mean, our Facebook page is covered in cartoons referencing alcohol, bad parenting and spending money on unnecessary purchases (all in the name of a good laugh of course).  Not what you would normally expect to see on a page promoting a nappy bag brand.  And let’s not forget the craziness of designing an orange and bright blue nappy bag – who in their right mind would do that? AND make it work? I can tell you that that idea was met with hesitation and scepticism by some people – but these have been our best sellers, with the vibrant colours being embraced by mums that no longer wanted to tote around another black or brown bag.   

So for our next chapter, we are doing something a little crazy, a little different and a little scary –but very exciting!  We are branching into the world of handbags, evening bags and bridal bags!  We want to be there to celebrate every chapter of every woman’s life, whether it is her first job, first date, wedding, baby, after baby or retirement.

 Soon, you will be able to purchase from our website the most gorgeous evening and bridal bags and clutches… 





 

Stunning, colourful, playful bags from some amazing Australian designers….

 

Also, we have something so exciting for you we can hardly keep it to ourselves any longer!  We will be the exclusive stockist for some of the hottest bags from America.  These bags are coming straight from the runways of New York.  I know you are going to love them as much as we do.  Here is a little sneaky preview so you can get in quick!






 



 

Make sure you sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Facebook so you know when these little hotties have been uploaded to our site.


Love

Our Valentine's Day Gift Suggestions


We were asked by one dad-to-be what to buy his pregnant wife for Valentine’s Day.  Our first suggestion was NOT to buy sexy lingerie in her pre-pregnancy size – this would definitely put you in the dog house!

There are so many gorgeous gift ideas to show your love, but here are a few of our favourites:

Obviously, I’m going to say a nappy bag from Total Bag Envy!   The Envy is a favourite and the clean lines will bring a touch of sophistication to any outfit.  If you can’t decide on which bag to buy, get a Gift Voucher (contact us about GV’s) and let her pick one for herself. The new red Envy will be available soon – keep an eye out!
 



You can’t go past jewellery, and our fave is the Audrey pendant from Koolaman Designs.  This is an heirloom piece that has loved ones names stamped onto the pendant.  This will keep you in the good books for the entire year!



Or what about a Pregnancy Journal so she can record her thoughts, feelings, anticipations and memories.  This is a great keepsake to pass onto your child.  You can pick up a Pregnancy Journal from Tools4FabulousFamilies.
 


Who doesn’t love a massage??  Buy a gift voucher for a massage to really spoil your partner.  Just make sure they are qualified in pregnancy massage like the girls at Calming Concepts.  Better still get really romantic and book a couple’s massage and just….relax.
 

After the massage, continue her relaxation by having this gorgeous room Diffuser ready.  It comes in a fig and watermelon fragrance and will absolutely compliment her massage and make her feel like a princess.  We have done the shopping for you and we love this one from Beyond Beautiful Consultant Melanie.  There are also cute candles in a Baby Powder scent that we are adoring.  It’s a tough choice!



If all else fails, say “I love you” with a sleep in, breakfast in bed and by doing the housework!  Happy Valentine’s Day!
