Super fantastic, its-laS-tik

Category Contests

Whoops, I guess technically it’s no longer afternoon. Today sort of got away from me. But! I have been out shopping (for seeds, as it’s nearly garden time) and that got me thinking that it’s time to give away a super fantastic reusable shopping bag.

Meet What’Surbag, a company based in New Orleans that makes bags out of something called its-laS-tik (composed of nylon and lycra—durable, reusable, and in the end, recyclable). These bags are a little different than the typical reusable bags you see around most of the time, and the fun part is that they’re super-stretchy to accommodate whatever you need to put in them.

I have a Confetti What’Surbag sitting here that’s going to go out to one lucky Want Not reader. If you don’t want to use it for a reusable grocery bag, my daughter has assured me there are a thousand things she could use it for, please please pleeeeeease, Mom, so I’m guessing any tween/teen girl would find it pretty hip and happening.

Want to win it? First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Monday, March 29th, 2010 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and elasticity.

Ready? Go!
