I received the below mentioned product in order to complete an honest review. Any opinions expressed are my own.
Tuesday December 1, 2015 is Giving Tuesday. The day when, after we’ve all bought our gifts during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday frenzy, we donate to a cause for the holidays.
On Giving Tuesday (December 1) for every donation made by phone 1-888-511-6588 or through World Vision website: worldvisiongifts.org it will be matched by Thirty-One Gifts-a direct selling company with a donation of one or more of it’s products like a tote bag or blanket up to a toal of $1 million worth of products for women and girls in need around the world.
You may be asking, why the need? What is a tote or blanket going to do? Tote bags like the one included in the giveaway, have recently been distributed to volunteers in Burundi who use the totes to carry materials for educating families about malnutrition. Before the totes, volunteers had to carry all their materials by hand. The totes make it easier for volunteers to carry the materials they need to each home.
Thirty-One Gifts was founded on the principle of helping women. In 2012, they founded a philantropic initiative called Thirty-One Gives. To date they have donated more than $80 million dollars in cash and products to non-profit organizations that empower women and girls and support families. The tote featured in this post is part of the Thirty-One gives line with 31 cents of each purchase going to the Thirty-One Gives fund. You can find more info at thirtyonegifts.com
The Zip-Top Organizing Utility tote is versatile. Use it for school, use it for work, use it as a diaper bag, use it as an overnight bag. I personally love this tote. This week my oldest son was admitted to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. We spend 3 days there. I used this bag. Every day I took a change of clothes in case I needed to stay. I also took my phone charger, every day makeup, toiletries, and some activities for my son to do. It also held my wallet, phone, and my card I needed to get in and out of the PICU that my son was in. There was still plenty of space. Even with all that, this bag was not too bulky. In my opinion, it was the perfect size. It’s light weight but well made.

Every Christmas you have them family members who say “oh don’t get me anything, I don’t need anything” 5 years ago I started donating a gift from World Vision in their name. In a card I put a copy of the donation saying I gave your gift to someone who does need something. This year I donated a cow, chickens, fresh water and urgent medical care. My nephew asked if he could send chickens this year for Christmas instead of a video game he wanted.
