Let’s say you don’t need a full-on, heavy-duty tool bag but you do need something to hold your smaller hobby tools. In that case, you’d need this super-nice, zippered tool-type bag. Measures 14" x 9-1/2" x 3", and has a triangular shape...

Duffel Bag Or Duffle Bag? Both spellings are acceptable, it turns out, but duffle is a British corruption of our duffel, so pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and spell it “duffel” like an American. Our duffel is red polyester with...

You might need this “LAUNDRY” hamper to get your duds off the floor. Measures approx 20” tall x 13” x 9-1/2” and it’s flexible and foldable, just like your clothes. We have black and silver, and we’ll pick a nice...

Stink Fighting Bag Laundry stinks. It’s also a job we dislike. But back to that stench. This white mesh bag, approx 18" x 12", has a way of dispersing the stinkiness of our laundry, which makes the whole job less stinky in more ways than one. Has a...

This gusseted, white plastic tote bag measures 17" x 16" x 4” with handles approx 12” long and has, for reasons unclear, a front that mimics a doctor's jacket with a stethoscope hanging around the neck of the bag. Ignore the faux medical-ness...

This Mia brand black Crosstown Bag is made of microfiber with shiny leather or leather-ish accents, including a wide croc-embossed band and trim. Has a zip enclosure on top for the main compartment, and a zippered pocket on the front with organizer slots...

Surplus! These (former) promo items are 5" tall golf bags, mostly clear with primary color accents. Best of all? No logos! Golfers use them to store (3) balls. There’s also an outside pocket for pencils, tees and ball makers, and that pocket is...

You surely have some cool purses but this one’s cooler—because it’s actually a cooler. From Buringer, it looks like a nice, casual purse to us, with gray and white horizontal stripes and thick, comfortable brown handles. Insulated, with...

This sturdy messenger bag from Wanderer Tech is made of durable black 1680 denier ballistic nylon with royal blue piping. Measures approx 15" x 12" x 3" when empty, but is eminently stuffable. Has an adjustable padded shoulder strap, front flap with...

In soft poly-foam and a pretty powder blue color, we think this case was made for standard smart phones, although goodness knows you could keep any number of things in it. (Badness probably knows that, too.) Measuring 6” x 3-1/2” x approx...

They may move your cheese, but the rest of your lunch should be safe when you tote it in this insulated white bag with “HUMAN ORGAN FOR TRANSPLANT” printed on the side. Measures approx 9-1/2" wide x 7” tall x 6" deep with a padded...

Not even Todd Rundgren fans will want to bang on this drum, but it’ll keep your food and drinks cool, though, because it’s a foam-insulated soft bag cooler with a double-zippered main compartment approx 11-1/2” dia, (2) deep,...

Nothing feels better than saying “no” to the checkout person who asks if we need bags. Lately we’ve been toting a couple of these reusable 18” x 14-1/2” x 2” bamboo-themed shopping bags. They come in green with green...

Go ahead and carry this cooler into a departmental meeting before you head out on Friday—we cleared it with your boss. She’s the only one who’ll know it’s packed with brewskis because it looks like a sophisticated hardshell laptop...

We walked to and from school, uphill in both directions, carrying our books and a brown paper bag of lunch that got wet when it rained and snowed, which was every day. You have it easy these days with collapsible nylon lunch bags like these. In purple or...

They call this the Palm Beach Tote Bag, but it’d be right at home on any beach, palmed or not. Made of blended cotton, in assorted colors (we've seen blue and red, so far...), and measures approx 18-1/4” x 11-1/2” x 5-1/2". Laminated...

We totes love this tote bag because at 17” x 15”, not including the 2 straps, it holds plenty. It also folds up into a handy little internal pouch of 6-1/2” x 4-3/4” that snaps shut and has a built-in clip to clamp on a belt-loop...

The Shop And Picnic Zone Even though this bright orange fabric tote would be right at home in a construction zone, save it for shopping, picnicking and tailgating at Syracuse, Clemson, Florida, Oklahoma State, Boise State and Oregon State games (and yes,...

Some Folks Call It a Kaiser Bag Some folks call it a sling bag, mmm-hmm. We call it a sling bag. From Rothco®, is a great one, made of vintage-inspired, black 100% cotton canvas with brown leather zipper pulls and a durable polyester lining. Sling...

Here’s a good-looking 24” x 12” duffle bag that you’ll won’t have to search hard for on the baggage carousel. Yes, it’s black, in resilient unwashed cotton canvas, but the stiches are orange, and so is the...

Roll 'Em, Roll 'Em, Roll 'Em Stuff your duds in these large bags, roll 'em up to expel the air, then slide the\nsturdy zip-seal zipper to vacuum seal your clothes for storage or travel. No pump\nrequired—you be the pump. This Lg/Med/Sm collection...

We won’t be sending your plain brown paper gift bags in a plain brown paper gift bag, but as soon as they arrive, you can put whatever you want in them. What a relief it will be to have this supply of (50) ready-to-go, 10-1/2" x 8" x 4-1/2"...

Okay, sure, you could easily take this 21" x 12" heavy duty duffle bag on a train, too. But that’s just another version of a plane and an automobile. We like using ours for travel because of its heavy duty polyester shell, but we picked up a second...

This stylin’ bag from Buringer is one of our cooler totes, not just because it looks cooler than many of the others, but simply because it’s actually a cooler tote. It’ll keep your lunch cool, and help you look cool. Made of an Oxford...

Flexible File Box If “file box” conjures the words “heavy” and “metal,” think again. This soft-rock version is made of a light material that feels like stiff polyester but is sturdy enough to protect your files. Folds...

This durable, waterproof Oxford fabric bag is big—not baby-sized—and sturdy enough for the poopiest of kids. It’s a baby diaper bag with an expandible changing station that lets you haul a slew of nappies. It comes in textured light...

Or in the air again? Or do you just like to be prepared, like any good Surpie does, for when regular travel returns? This soft-sided, black vinyl bag is a compact 21" x 13" x 6", well within carry-on rules, and easy to toss in the trunk or back seat...

Be More Vacuous At least pack more vacuous, because vacuum packing isn't just for coffee, it's for saving storage space for anything soft and squooshable. We suggest this 5-pack of 24" x 32" large vacuum-seal storage bags, into which you can stuff...

It will take a person of some sartorial presence to carry this, but if a man’s (or woman’s) reach does not exceed his (or her) grasp, then what’s a heaven for? (Don’t write to complain--call Robert Browning.) In vinyl, in a...

Here’s a little sack that’s good for laundry, the beach or park, camping, hiking, boating, library visits or just general toting. It’s nylon, from Austria, sort of olive drab and partially adorned in kind-of triangular digital camo...

The Better Zip-Top We think these clear, heavy vinyl zip-top pouches were made to hold make-up, with slots for applicators, lip-sticks, etc., but they’re mighty handy for a plethora-and-a-half of sundry storage and travel needs. You pick the small...

You'll get (1,000) clear cellophane bags, 6-3/4" wide x 9" deep with open tops, the kind you used before the little zip-tops were invented, and they're just as useful as ever.

Here’s a backpack you can take with you on the nights you get dressed up—or every time you leave the house if perpetual glamour is your thing. It’s the little black dress of backpacks, and yes, it’s black. Made of quilted...
