Today's Prescription: Shop responsibly, arm yourself with these useful, yet utterly stylish shopping totes.

We've got a great selection of shopping bags right now that should meet all of your needs. Reisenthel makes functional and versatile products that are perfect for every day use. Superior technical design and impeccable product quality ensures their products "solve problems instead of causing them".

Here are some of our favorites:

You will never forget to bring your own bag again! The mini maxi shopper folds up so small, you can carry it inside your purse. It comes in a case of its own as well if you want to clip it on to your gym bag, or leave it in your car so you are always prepared to stop by the market.







The large city shopper has endless possibilities! Not only does this tote bag come in some fabulous prints, it is SO durable! Don't be afraid to fill it up, and put it to the test. It will easily carry your heaviest items and more on your trip to the super market. To make a quick trip to the local farmer's market more convenient, inside you'll find a pocket for your phone and a zip pocket for your wallet. Heading to the pool? This bag is even perfect for a towel, swimsuit, sunscreen and the latest best-seller.


Check out all of the bags we offer from Reisenthel; we get new ones all of the time. You will love to BYOB (bring your own BAG) once you own a variety of these handy totes !

If so, we recommend that you quench your guests' thirst in splendid style with this glass beverage server from The GG Collection (formerly Gracious Goods). This server is the perfect showcase for your signature punch or some freshly brewed iced tea.

The GG Collection features a line of kitchen accessories, serving pieces, tabletop, and decorative accents that blend well with Tuscan, French Country, Mediterranean, or Old World style. If you love the beverage server, there are coordinating glass canisters you should check out. And fresh veggies have never looked so fabulous than when served in this tiered crudite server.

Today's Prescription: Think pink! The cheerful, spring tulips blooming around the neighborhood inspired today's prescription.

Cut flowers don't last - here is a way to bring Spring into your home for the rest of the season (and longer!). Through the end of April, we are offering 20% off of any PETAL PINK Julia Knight metal ware piece. The 11" Lily bowl is a particularly attractive piece on its own. Want to serve cocktails or hors d'oeuvres in delicious style? Check out the Rectangular Handled Tray with mother of pearl details.

Julia Knight's
sand-cast aluminum pieces are hand-painted with pearlized enamel, some with hand-cut, hand-inlaid Mother of Pearl. Enamels are mixed with crushed Mother of Pearl giving each piece depth and beauty. Each swirl of color is applied with the thumb of a skilled artisan. Items are all food safe (do not place in freezer or use in microwave).

If pink just isn't your thing, don't worry. Julia Knight pieces come in an array of juicy colors - hydrangea, pomegranate, mojito, kiwi, toffee, raspberry, mango... need I go on?
