If you’re still thinking of what to give your mom for mother’s day (it’s on May 9!), here’s a great gift idea courtesy of Cross Body Purses - the Timbuk2 Design Your Own Bag Gift Card:

Timbuk2 Design Your Own Bag Gift Card, $125.00

What it says:

DESIGN YOUR OWN BAG > Just go to www.timbuk2.com and get to work.

Enter the secret code from your enclosed Gift Card during checkout.

So basically, this gift card will let your mom design her very own Timbuk2 bag. She’s free to spend the $125 any way she wants. She can choose the bag style that suits her (a messenger, a pack, or a tote), the bag size that’s right for her frame, the colors and fabrics that appeal to her (waterproof? lightweight? special designs? there’s sooo many to choose from), add a logo if she likes, and pick accessories like a strap pad, a zipper pouch for gadgets, or a tiny coin purse if she pleases.

The best part about it? It’s 10% off with free shipping included at eBags.com! The website is currently having a Celebrate Mom mother’s day special and is offering this great deal on orders over $50 (brand exclusions apply).

What’s been voted as the “Best of the Best” bag at eBags.com? Like what I said about the eBags Piazza Day Bag, is it even a surprise that the best bag out of all the bags is a cross body?

EBags’ Best of the Best bag is the Big Zipper Bagg from Bagallini:

Bagallini Big Zipper Bagg

Don’t be fooled by its spartan appearance because this bag is the perfect mix of form and function. The numerous zippered compartments on this bag keep your things secure, help you stay organized and look good while doing it. The crinkle nylon material that the bag is made out of is tasteful and is also waterproof. The 52″-long shoulder strap lets you fashionably wear the bag as a cross body and keeps you comfortable while you carry it.

Check out what 3 people out of  the 195 who have bought and reviewed the Bagallini Big Zipper Bagg have to say about it:

“This is a great bag. Most important are the zippers, which do not jam, and have big handles that are easily found and opened…” - Diana from Staten Island, NY

“Went from a larger bag to this due to all the organization! Easy to find what I need quickly… everything fits, everything has a home and I never lose things at the bottom of the bag due to the individual pockets & zippers. I’m buying another one in a different color for spring!” - Colleen from Everett, WA

“Just got back from vacation using this bag for the first time. I’m very hard on purses – this stood up to the wear of traveling and still looks brand new! Comfortable to wear even though it was stuffed to the gills… it holds more than it looks like it would. I will use it for my daily bag.” – Alice from Ottumwa, IA

Personally, I think this IS a great choice for a daily bag. Plus it has 10 colors to choose from. You got the basic neutral colors and a couple of bright ones for spring:

Top row: Bagallini Big Zipper Bagg in Black, Dark Olive, Espresso, Khaki, Leaf Green                   Bottom Row: Mushroom, Pewter, Steel Blue, Tomato, Navy

Do you think this bag deserves to be called the best of the best or do you have something else in mind?

The Bagallini Big Zipper Bagg is $54.95 but is now on sale for $49.99.
