We've been using snack bags like these for over a year now and they've been so popular with my kids and their friends that I decided to make up a bunch to have on hand. They're made out of 100% cotton and lined with moisture-resistant nylon. They are washable and have a velcro closure to keep those snacks where they should be. We use them most often for dry snacks like pretzels or Goldfish but I've also put grapes or orange segments in them. At the end of the day I just shake the crumbs out, turn them inside out and wipe them out when I'm doing my dishes and let them dry. You can use them for sandwiches too! Got a messy PB&J? No problem--just throw them in the washing machine and hang to dry.
Best of all, by using these bags you're saving the planet and your pennies by using fewer plastic bags. I'll be making many more designs so stay tuned for info. on how you can get some of these bags for yourself in the near future!
But the good news now is that I'm giving these two bags away to one lucky reader! They are my prototypes so I want your feedback too on how you like them. How do you enter? Just leave a comment on your efforts to "go green" on the go or at home. I'm looking for a name for the bags, so if you have an idea for that, leave an extra comment and you'll get an extra entry! I 'll choose the winner using Random.org. Contest ends at midnight on Tuesday, January 12, 2010.
Sorry, this giveaway is for my U.S. and Canadian readers only. Good luck!

These are so adorable!! I started in September to stop using zippy bags. We've been using tupperwear in leiu of the bags. These are a GREAT ulternative. Let me know when you start selling; I will buy some:)
This is such a great idea! I bought the kids insulated lunch boxes and plastic containers to carry their lunches to school. Plastic and paper bags are such a waste of money. These cute little snack bags would be great for lunch boxes and for carrying snacks with us on the go! I'm getting a bit tired of having crumbs find their way to the bottom of my purse. =)
This is an awesome idea. In such a "disposable" society, there is a need like this. And in an on the go lifestyle, these would help alot. On days when I have a lot of errands to run, it would be so much healthier if I were able to take lunches with us rather than running thru a drive thru.
I LOVE this idea! We went to 'toddler snack cups' as soon as I found them a few years ago. I always know which snack belongs to whom, and it minimizes spills. Also, easy clean up to throw in the DW at night and have them ready for the next morning. My oldest loves the cup, but the youngest just pops the lid open - spreading snacks everywhere in the process! These bags just might end my search for a solution for the 'toddler'. Can't wait to try them out!
These are a really neat idea. I think they would be really handy especially with the little ones.
Great looking bags! I recently bought my son an Easy Lunch Box kit and it's great...go green!
I'm always looking for new ways to 'go green' around the house. We use CFL's, our electricity is 100% wind generated and I use reusable shopping bags as often as I can. Sometimes I get an eye roll for using it in a department store, but oh well! Oh, and we recycle just about everything. My girls take their lunch to school for budget reasons, and I'm always looking for reusable containers to put their stuff in! These nifty little bags would help to solve my plastic zipper bag predicament! Great idea!!
These are exactly what I am looking for!!! I just hate how many plastic bags we are using and have been looking for an alternative!
