While making my list and checking it twice this season, I noticed a pattern developing through the years. There is always someone who could use a new bag. From a simple and glamorous clutch to a wonderfully sleek and masculine messenger bag, the gift of a great bag is something that works for almost anyone in your life. It’s the quintessential gift that keeps on giving. Form meets function meets style and beauty.

Our friends at Graphic Image are launching yet another brand this season and you, dear readers, are the lucky ones with the inside scoop. Gigi New York is a gorgeous collection of personalized, python embossed bags and journal covers in a palette worthy of even the most discerning customer. The tote bag is the perfect carry-all size and the all in one bag is the answer to keeping all of your miscellany wrangled. Don’t forget the personalization for that extra touch that puts this bag over the edge into the land of “THE gift.” You’re welcome.

Graphic Image is giving away one Gigi New York Teddie Tote (in winner’s choice of color with optional monogramming–a prize worth $230!) to one lucky reader. To enter to win, please answer the following question by Thursday, December 15th.
