With the season for teacher’s gifts nearly upon us, I’m on the hunt for something fresh and unexpected. Last year, I gave my little guy’s teachers handmade wine and cheese bags – one for wine, one for cheese with an intentional pairing carefully nestled in each. They were a huge hit!

I still haven’t decided what I will give this year, but I’m in love with this brilliant design from Built NY.

This re-useable wine tote is as practical as it is pretty. The folds of fabric aren’t just a design feature, they also protect your bottle of wine from bumps and bruises while you’re driving, making it the perfect gift for anyone who makes regular weekend trips to cottage country.

Of course, the fact that it folds up to neat-and-tidy, easily stored proportions is also brilliant. Feels like a “one for me, one for you” situation if you ask me!

Now I want to pack up a gourmet picnic and go for a drive in the country! Anyone want to join me?
