Cuddly Monkey Extra Large Tote Bag Review and Giveaway

OMGoodness…I feel like such a Goddess when I carry my ever-so-roomy Cuddly Monkey tote. I travel a lot for my magablog which requires keeping track of a lot of stuff…papers, receipts, camera, notebook, pencils…you get the point. I need a really large bag to keep me organized. I need it to be functional, but also stylish because I work with major brands…so I need to look professional also. The Goddess tote fits all my needs and then some. It’s no wonder that Parents.com is recommending them!

On a recent excursion to Jeckyl Island, Georgia HIMself and I filled our tote with all our trip necessities and still had room for some purchases from the gift shops near this historic hotel. You can see the size of the bag below. We both love the large strap that can be worn across your chest or over the shoulder. The Goddess tote is sturdy and well made of heavy, durable canvas. I also love the deep roomy wrap-around pockets on the exterior of the bag. Cuddly Monkey thought of everything when designing this.

But the best part is the inside…the beautiful graphic of an orange slice is colorful and makes me smile. When I travel this reminds me of my home in Florida every time I open the bag. There are 10 other bags of different shapes and sizes with different graphics on the inside like birds on a wire. There is something for every need. Go check them out here but come right back because I have one to give away below!!!

All that traveling means it has to be sturdy, functional and fun…

It’s in the Bag! Cuddly Monkey tote bags are the definition of functional fun. On the outside, the durable 100% cotton canvas makes the bag useful for any outing. On the inside, the vividly designed cotton linings prove that Cuddly Monkey isn’t your basic tote bag. It’s the tote for every lifestyle, from the inside out. -from the Cuddly Monkey website

Cuddly Monkey totes are a favorite of celebrity moms like Jessica Alba and Selma Blair. Cuddly Monkey was born in the heart of Soho in the design studio of Stag&Hare. They are a team of designers with a passion for creating and exploring…sounds like me doesn’t it? The current selection of totes range from $68 to $94 retail value. That’s peanuts for what you get.
