Everyday Bag Essentials with ToteSavvy & Day Designer

by ToteSavvy Team on Oct 05, 2023
When it comes to your everyday bag, there are a few essential items that you should always have on hand. Whether you're heading to work, running errands, or headed to the coffee shop, these items will ensure that you're prepared for anything that comes your way. ToteSavvy Deluxe Bag Organizer First things first, of course you need a ToteSavvy Bag Organizer for your everyday tote! We love using the Deluxe, because it offers a variety of pockets for your everyday essentials, a zippered cooler pocket for your lunch & snacks, and a plush-lined pocket for your laptop or tablet. Your most-loved and our most popular bag combo with the Deluxe is the Marc Jacobs Tote Bag--Large. The Day Designer Planner & Notepad Once you have a ToteSavvy Bag Organizer to help organize your bag, you definitely need a Day Designer Planner & Notebook to help organize your life. The Day Designer has so many different options to choose from (and the cutest of patterns, too!) so you can stay organized and keep on track during your week. Pens & Highlighters There's just something about using pretty pens and highlighters in your planner and for taking notes that makes the world a happier place! These pens & highlighters are an amazing quality, and they're an Amazon find, so they're super budget-friendly, too. Toss a few (or them all!) in your bag, and you're ready to crush your goals. Laptop & Chargers Whether you work on-the-go, the office, or you're headed to the coffee shop for a brainstorm session, be sure to grab your laptop and any chargers you may need. Don't forget your phone charger or your AirPods for those days you're especially productive and need an extra charge or a music mood boost! Pain Relievers & Hand Sanitizer  Headaches or muscle pains can strike at any time, causing discomfort and hindering your productivity. Keep your most used pain relievers and medicines in your bag for quick relief when needed. In addition to your meds, now that fall is ramping up, germs are lurking everywhere, and it's essential to prioritize hygiene. Carry a travel-sized hand sanitizer in your bag to keep your hands clean and germ-free. Lunch/Snacks When hunger strikes, having a stash of healthy snacks in your bag can save you from reaching for unhealthy options. Pack some nuts, granola bars, or fresh fruit to keep your energy levels up throughout the day. You can keep these in the ToteSavvy Deluxe's zippered cooler pocket to keep them fresh or chilled! Small Clear Pouch Makeup Bag For any makeup touch ups throughout the day, pack your beauty essentials in a ToteSavvy Clear Pouch. The Small will easily fit into the center of your ToteSavvy or in a free pocket. Remember, the contents of your everyday bag may vary depending on your personal needs and lifestyle. However, these essentials are a great starting point to ensure that you're prepared for whatever the day throws at you. Stay organized and have a stylish and productive day!

Gift Ideas for Teachers with ToteSavvy

by ToteSavvy Team on Aug 22, 2023
Teachers play a crucial role in our children's lives. They dedicate their time and effort to educate and inspire students. Showing appreciation for their hard work and dedication with thoughtful gifts is a great way to express gratitude. Here are some gift ideas that we just know teachers will love! ToteSavvy Bag Organizer: The Key to Organization A ToteSavvy Bag Organizer is the perfect gift for any teacher. The Mini is a great option knowing it fits in most backpacks and handbags. It features an insulated cooler pocket perfect for drinks and snacks on-the-go, a key clasp, and other various-sized pockets that allow the ultimate organizing experience. The middle slip pocket is also great for their phone, a tablet, or a small notebook! Notebook: A Tool for Organization and Creativity A high-quality notebook or notepad is an essential tool for any teacher. It helps them stay organized, jot down important notes, and plan their lessons effectively. Consider gifting a notebook with a stylish cover or personalized touch to make it extra special. We also love a Clipfolio--they can take their notes on-the-go to a meeting or to the teacher's lounge! Planner: Keeping Teachers on Top of Their Game Teachers have a lot on their plate, from lesson planning to grading assignments. A planner can be a lifesaver for them. Look for a planner with ample space for daily, weekly, and monthly planning. It should also have sections for to-do lists and important dates. Reusable Water Cup: Hydration on the Go Teachers are always on the move, and staying hydrated is essential for their well-being. A reusable water cup is a practical and eco-friendly gift. We love Stanley cups because they're high-quality and will keep drinks hot or cold all day long. You can also include darling straw covers to add a special touch to their cup! Coffee Cup: Fueling Teachers' Passion Many teachers rely on a cup of coffee to kickstart their day. A personalized coffee cup with an inspiring message or their name can make their morning routine even more enjoyable. We thought these coffee cups were the cutest! Stationery, Pens & Highlighters: Make Learning Stand Out Teachers often need various stationery items to create engaging learning experiences for their students. Consider gifting a set of colorful markers or highlighters, sticky notes, or a whiteboard marker set.  Pens are another essential tool for teachers, and having a reliable set of pens can make their work easier. Look for pens with smooth writing and a comfortable grip. Consider gifting a set with different colors to add a touch of creativity to their notes and grading. These small but useful items can make a big difference in the classroom. Hand Sanitizer: Thoughtful and Practical Hand Sanitizer is one of those items that is crucial for every teacher--especially in the cooler months when sicknesses are spreading rapidly through the classroom. Grab your little one's teacher a hand sanitizer that's just for them. One they can keep at their desk and know they will have on hand when they need it the most.  Remember, when choosing gifts for teachers, it's the thought and effort that count the most. Consider their preferences and needs, and personalize the gifts whenever possible. By showing appreciation through these thoughtful gifts, you can make a teacher's day and inspire them to continue making a difference in the lives of their students.

Seven Ways to use the Clear Pouch Trio Set

Seven Ways to use the Clear Pouch Trio Set

by ToteSavvy Team on Apr 25, 2023
The ToteSavvy Clear Pouch Trio Set is so versatile and it now comes in two gorgeous colors--Crème & Black! You can use them to organize your travel bag or your baby bag, use them to pack a car kit for your toddler, organize your work bag, and more! Today, we're sharing seven ways you can use them to stay organized. Travel Bag Heading on a trip soon? Use the Clear Pouch Trio Set to organize your carry on bag. The large pouch is great for your planner, a notebook, headphones, or even your laptop--the 13" MacBook Air fits in the large perfectly. The medium pouch can hold your snacks (you always need snacks!), drink mixes, your sunnies, and even your travel jewelry case if you'd like to keep it with you vs in your suitcase. The small pouch is great to use as a travel makeup bag. It might not hold all of your makeup if you travel with a lot, but we love using it for on-the-go touch ups, especially after a long day of travel. Suitcase Organization If you've been looking for a way to organize your travel essentials and toiletries, the Clear Pouches will be your new go-to. The large pouch holds tall hair sprays and styling products and the medium pouch is great for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a travel hair brush. The small pouch is great for makeup just like in the travel bag! Baby Bag Organizing a baby bag is a strategic task--you need so many essentials at your fingertips, and having them organized is crucial. In the large pouch, think of larger baby essentials like a swaddle, change of clothes (or two!), and a lovey toy. The medium pouch is an ideal size for diapers, wipes, a changing mat, diaper rash cream, hand sanitizer spray, and tissues. The small pouch is perfect for your little one's paci clips, teethers, and spoons and forks. Packing them in the clear pouch keeps them clean and all in one place so a paci is easy to grab when you really need it. Toddler Car Kit If you're headed on a long road trip with your toddler, a car kit is a necessity. Even with easy-access shows and endless Bluey, they still need other things to entertain them. We love filling the clear pouches with some of their favorite toys and mess-free activities. In the large pouch, pack things like reusable sticker books, board books, and mess-free coloring books. In the medium pouch, you can pack a few of their smaller toys like a play phone, learning tablet, or popper. Toddlers love poppers. In the small pouch, pack a few easy-access snacks for them that they can open on their own. Pouches and fruit strips are a must-have when we pack our car kit! Pool/Beach Bag When you're headed to the pool or beach, having a way to pack your essentials to keep them dry and sand-free is a must-have. Whether you're headed with your little one or on your own, we love to use the Clear Pouches for pool and beach trips. If you're with your little one, the large pouch can be used for diaper changing essentials, swim diapers, their swim suit, and a change of clothes. The medium pouch can hold snacks for you and your little one. In the small pouch, we pack sunscreen and a makeup brush to apply the sunscreen to your little one's face. It's the easiest way to blend it all in and make sure their sensitive skin is protected. Hospital Bag If you're currently stressing out about how you're going to organize your hospital bag when you have your sweet baby (or know someone that is), Clear Pouches will help keep everything organized--even your partner will be able to help find everything! The large pouch is great to dedicate to your little one--from their announcement outfit, outfits you want them to wear in the hospital, swaddle, wooden sign (you know we all get one now!), and yes, even accessories! The medium pouch is great to put your toiletries. You won't need much during your stay, but having your shampoo, conditioner, face wash, toothbrush, skincare, etc. will help you feel so much better. The small pouch we used for makeup--you most likely won't need much, but having your makeup for touchups if you plan to take pictures in the hospital with your new addition is a must. OH! Don't forget to pack an extra hair tie or two and chapstick--actual must-haves. Work Bag Head into the office stylish and organized! The Clear Pouch Trio Set helps you organize your gorgeous work tote and keeps your essentials right at your fingertips. The Large Pouch fits up to a 13" laptop--the MacBook Air is shown in the large pouch above along with a full-size planner. The Medium Pouch can hold all your note taking essentials--whether you use a pen and notepad, an iPad, or both! The Small Pouch is perfect for your glasses, tampons, portable charger, card holder, keys, and collapsable phone stand. Keep your smaller essentials together in one place instead of being buried at the bottom of your bag. Happy packing!

6 Ways To Pack The Deluxe Cooler Pocket

by ToteSavvy Team on Feb 28, 2023
The Deluxe zippered cooler pocket is a fan-favorite because there are so many ways to use it! Whether you're on-the-go with your little ones, headed to work, or you're out for the day yourself, we wanted to give you six practical ways you can pack the cooler pocket. Pack your lunch // You can fit a LunchBots Bento Box and can of sparkling water perfectly. There's plenty of space to add a protein bar and ice pack as well! Pack your breakfast // Depending on your daily routine--if you find yourself eating your breakfast on-the-go, you can pack a yogurt, can/bottle of water or even a canned coffee along with an ice pack. It's so convenient to have breakfast with you so there's no need to stop anywhere! Pack 3 Cans // Are you headed out for an adventure? You can fit 3-4 cans comfortably in the cooler pocket. Say hello to easy packing when it comes to your summer beach tote and you want to bring along a few spiked seltzers and waters to the beach! Pack bottles // If you're headed out for an afternoon or evening, pack a few bottles for your little one. Be sure to add an ice pack--the cooler pocket will help them stay cool, but you always want to be safe when traveling with formula or breastmilk. Depending on the style of bottles your little ones uses, you can fit 2 Phillips Advent style bottles comfortably, 3 is a tight fit as these are a wider style bottle. If you have thinner bottles like Dr. Brown's, you can fit 3 across. Pack your toddler's favorite snacks // If you'll be out and about with your toddler, you know they need an endless supply of snacks! You can pack their sippy cup, pouches, and snack bars, and more! If your little one opens but doesn't finish one of their pouches, you can put it back in the insulated cooler pocket to keep it cool. Pack your medication // This was a follower suggested idea that we loved and wanted to share--so thank you for this brilliant idea! If you find that you need to keep your refrigerated medications with you throughout the day, the cooler pocket can keep them cool along with an ice pack. How do you use the cooler pocket?!

Trending Backpacks Organized & Packed Three Ways Using the ToteSavvy Mini

by ToteSavvy Team on Feb 27, 2023
We get asked all the time on Instagram if we have an organizer that will fit a backpack, and the answer to that is YES!! Our Mini Bag Organizer is the perfect size for most backpacks and can help you stay organized no matter what you're packing for. The most requested to see was baby & toddler backpacks and everyday backpacks, so that's what we'll be focusing on in this post! A backpack for you & your toddler // When it comes to packing for your and your toddler, you still find yourself needing diapers, wipes, an extra outfit, and an endless supply of snacks. The ToteSavvy Mini helps keep these essentials organized. Don't forget, the Mini has an included changing mat, insulated pocket, and the center pocket fits a full-size wallet. The Go Dash Dot Maya Backpack is a great option to use, too! It fits the Mini and your essentials perfectly, and there are several additional pockets that you can still use for other essentials. The bottom of the backpack has quite a large pocket that is perfect for spare clothes for you & your toddler, an extra pair of play shoes, or even a picnic blanket if you're headed out for a park lunch date! A backpack for you & baby // The Dagne Dover Dune Backpack and the ToteSavvy Mini in Almond are a gorgeous combo for a baby bag--especially if you love a neutral pink or have a sweet baby girl! Of course, when packing for baby, you need a spare outfit, bottle, diapers, wipes, diaper cream, and a paci clip. Inside the backpack, you can also fit a swaddle, there's a padded laptop pocket should you need to bring yours along, and a second back section that is roomy as well. Another great feature about this backpack is it has several small pockets on the back and sides for easy-access to your smaller essentials, your little one's toys, or extra snacks! Since the backpack is rather deep, you could also stock it filled with extra diapers along the bottom--it's always helpful to have more diapers than you think you'll need. That's the last thing you want to run out of while on-the-go with your little one. An everyday backpack // We are love, loving the MZ Wallace Metro Backpack with the ToteSavvy Mini in Soft Grey. It's such a good everyday, neutral combo. In our everyday bag example, we wanted to pack it to the brim to show you just how much the Mini can help organize. We packed a laptop charger, water bottle in the insulated cooler pocket, a full-size wallet in the center pocket, snacks and water mixes, keys on the key clasp, a hair clip, and a few other small essentials that fit in the convenient small pockets. Inside the backpack in addition to the Mini, the Metro Backpack has a padded laptop pocket and space to pack your planner, too. There are two smaller pockets inside the backpack that could be useful for snacks or pens, and there's also a back zippered pocket that you could use for feminine products, makeup, or anything else you need on-the-go. To see these backpacks in action, be sure to head to our Instagram and check out our latest Reels featuring these darling backpacks!

The Deluxe Bag Organizer has so many various-sized pockets perfect for other essentials like your laptop and phone chargers, portable charger, your phone in the phone pocket for easy access, AirPods, water bottle, keys and card holder on the key ring, highlighters, and planners and notepads, too!
