Lug Gift Guide, Part One

So, you've got about a week to get the rest/all of your holiday shopping done. Piece o' cake. Our handy gift guide will help you find something for everyone on your list, starting with the Fitness Fanatics and Savvy Travelers on your list.

The Fitness Fanatic
This one is a no-brainer. Go with the Cartwheel. With its ventilated compartment for shoes or soiled clothes, and all its organizational features, like the handy ring holder, this bag is the ideal gym companion. Done and done.

The Savvy Traveler
Now, this one is a bit tougher because there are just so many options. I mean, if this traveler needs a bigger bag, you could go with the Porter Roller Bag or the Shuttle Bus Wheelie. But if a smart carry-on is what you're looking for, it's hard to beat the new Sprout Carry-All or the old favorite, the Puddle Jumper. And then for accessories, there's always the toiletry tamers—Flip-Top and Two-Step—and the creature comforts, like the Nap Sac or adorable Undercover Bears. With so many great options, it's hard to go wrong.

Lug Love from The Shopping Mama

Thanks to The Shopping Mama for finding "The Best Reason to Go to the Gym." Spoiler alert: it's our Cartwheel Fitness/Overnight Bag! Read her great review here, and read below for a little excerpt.

"This is my first exposure to LUG products, but it won't be my last. I am very impressed with the thoughtful details and functionality, quality and the appearance, too. In spite of all the storage, the Cartwheel bag is still great looking and sleek - not bulky at all. For a big night sans kids, the Cartwheel bag is also a great overnight bag. (Which reminds me, I should probably go somewhere for a night to test this function...)"

We agree! Thanks for the love! Check out The Shopping Mama, the source for unique & fabulous things mamas want for their little ones, here.

Lug Love Via Today's Woman

Today we've got a little Lug love brought to us by Today's Woman, and we love what she had to say about our brand new Cartwheel Fitness/Overnight Bag!

"For a small bag I could not get over how roomy the bag is and I just love the attractive design. Once again I’m very pleased with Lug.

LUG definitely understands travel, and style."

P.S. How cute is that picture of her little dog nestled inside the Cartwheel? Answer: Super cute!

Introducing the Cartwheel Fitness/Overnight Bag by Lug

As promised on Twitter, Lug is happy to introduce the first BRAND NEW BAG for spring 2011.

Without further ado, please welcome the CARTWHEEL FITNESS/OVERNIGHT BAG! It's full of the Lug features you've come to know and love, like the thick padded straps, clear-coated bottom, and oodles of pockets and pouches to keep you organized, plus some innovative ideas, like a little ring holder to store your jewelry when you're at the gym. Of course, you're probably noticing one more unique feature—the brilliant front patch that's perfect for storing your yoga mat (or slipping in a sweater or any other item you'd prefer to stack outside your pack)!

Mark your calendars, and pick up this brilliant bag at your local Lug retailer when it comes out in March.
