I was browsing around on Etsy one day looking for something unique that I could take for my shopping trips. I believe in reusable shopping bags versus the plastic bags. I want to protect our environment any way I can and this is one simple and easy way for me to help do that. During my quest I landed on a sweet site called Sweet Monograms. I oohed and aahed over everything and came to a navy blue market tote that I fell in love with. Right then, right there. I have several pattern preferences and solid colors is in the top three. I’m a big fan of navy as well because it’s so easy to keep clean. I’m just a mess with lighter colors.
I looked at the market tote (forever) and in the back of my mind was lurking thoughts of my January Mystery Giveaway Celebration event. I wanted the opportunity to show off this amazing site not just for their market totes but for everything that they have to offer. Once you look over the site I’m sure you will see why I saved this site to my bookmark. They have Birthday gifts for any and everyone as well as Christmas and any other special event gift that my friends and family would love. Besides the color, I liked the mini size. You all know that I suffer from back injuries. My back was injured during an emergency surgery I had to have, a do or die situation, and while I’ve had extensive surgery on it not all of my injuries are fixable. My injuries will remain with me through out the remainder of my life. I’m not even allowed to lift a mere 5 lbs. Therefore, most of my heavy shopping is either done online or I have to take along family when I shop. I can carry light parcels and that’s why I wanted the mini market tote. Now the monogram was just the icing on the cake. I love all things monogrammed. It makes such a personal statement. The way to my heart is through letters 
.
I’d like to point out some things about this market tote. One of those is that this folds flat for easy storage. I keep mine in my car and after each shopping trip, I bring it in and empty it, I fold it back up and put it back in my car. It doesn’t take up any room to store and easily fits in the back pouch behind my seat. Also noted I love the 4 little pegs or legs if you will under the tote so if I have to sit my tote down, it’s not resting on the fabric. Inside the tote there are two netted pockets which I use to put my keys and cell phone in as well as any shopping list or lists I bring. Very handy. The aluminum frame on this tote is removable and super easy to wash off and keep clean. The tote is made with a nice thick and tight polyester material and is 12″ L x 9″ W x 7″ H. This handy mini market tote is just an all around perfect little stylish shopping companion and I highly recommend purchasing one for each of your family members.
Sweet Monograms is centered in Atlanta Georgia and I love supporting local businesses. One of my lucky readers will win something from Sweet Monograms which will be sent to the winner in the Ultimate Family Giveaway. I’m not telling what because it wouldn’t be a surprise if I did. If there is anyone that can keep a secret, it is me. My lips are sealed, you aren’t dragging this out of me. The item will be selected by the owners of Sweet Monograms and will be sent by them. They have my deepest appreciation for participating in my giveaway event.
Thank you for the lovely Market Tote which I will cherish always.

this is so awesome first we are saving our envirment and it is collapsable for easy storage!
that is awesome.
This is amazing, so much better to use cause you can use it over and over again and the fact it’s better than paper or plastic bags that just get tossed out anyway.
I love that thhis folds so well
I love the size of the tote & the fact that is has 4 little legs so it’s not sitting on the floor on the cloth! I have reusable bags that I keep in my car also, and I love the fact that this folds flat!!!
I would use this at the farmers market! I love that it can be personalized. I tend to set my stuff down, and have lost items before. Thank you
very cute. personalization is a nice touch
That is a very nice tote! Great that it can fold flat, and I love the monogram as well.
I love that it is eary to keep clean!
WoW! I’m glad that you can personalize them.
It looks awesome, and easy to use. It looks like it would hold out better than the cloth bags that I have that are falling apart. LOL
I really like the frame. Reusable grocery bags are great but I always end up fumbling around trying to pack them. A bag that could stand up would be such a help!
I’ve been wanting one of these for months. These are the coolest baskets to bring to Farmer’s Market. They’re so cute and personalizing makes them so much more cuter.
these would be great if you just need a few things at the store that way your not getting everyones germs and things on your hands.
Love that market tote! Its great that the handle fold in for easy storage – and then to be able to a name on it – wonderful!
this is really cool not only can u take it anywhere and use it u can take the handles off to wash it great item
I love getting items for my grand kids that have their names on them. They get so excited when they see their names.
A wonderful product and cute! Perfect for traveling!
Love it! Like that it folds down to take up less space when not in use. And I love that it can still be cleaned. Great item!
love the fact you can remove the handles and wash it.
I would really to take this tote shopping. what a neat idea.
I have pledged myself to use tote bags instead of plastic this year. This bag is very cute and I love to have monogrammed items
cute and practical love it
These are perfect , you can easily fold them to store them when you arent using them. Endless possibilities of what to use them for!
I love monogrammed organizing totes. I’ve never really been a fan of monogramming things I am going to carry around but this would be great.

I would love a bag like that and be willing to pay the extra to get one to help save on the enviourment.
I keep totes in my car all the time. Most of them are a good size. I have a bad habit of putting too much in them, making them heavier than i need to be carrying, especially since I usually grab more than one to bring in. A smaller size would keep me from over loading both the bags and myself. I’d have to make more trips, but I need the exercise : )
May I ask what do you do if it get dirty?You know how no matter what you do meats leak and such.
Thats great it folds up to be so small but looks very spacious.
This is just the cutest shopping bag EVER!!!
This is such a nice bag. Much nicer than the paper ones I end up taking to the grocery. I would really like to have one of these.
perfect for dance class, no more confusing whos is whos!
I love this mini bag. I love anything with my name on it as well. I will have to get several of these bags with names on them. Great birthday or Christmas gifts.
I have a serious back injury as well. I am always looking for something to help me when I have to carry things. This looks like a winner!
Thats Tammy with a Y….lol I want this!!
This is great. For the last several years I have been using IKEA bags, but the seams are pulling apart..
I recently got my daughters swim ag monogrammed & wanted to get some other things done too. I seen this review & you remeinded me this is something i got to get done soon. Thanks for taking time & sharing with us all.
I love how the handles work on this bag. How cute to take to the store, or maybe the farmers market.

They are really nice I can see myself putting it to good use.
Its handy that it folds flat for easy storage! We are always tight on space, so thats a good feature that I would be interested in.
What an awesome tote! That is extra nice because I can see how handy that would be for light shopping…I used to have a great tote like that when I lived overseas…( they didn’t use plastic or paper bags over there at all…either bring a bag or tote or bring a lot of kids to carry your haul..lol) I also love the monogram, makes a shopping trip a little more fun when you have something pretty with you!
The monograms are beautiful. I wish I could do that. Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks for the review!
I would love to get one!! So much snazzier than my plain old bag that I bring every time!
Those market totes look nice and sturdy, we are always looking for things to carry stuff in. I am in a wheelchair, and that would be great for me to take shopping!
I think the Camo Duffle Bag personelized for my grandson to carry his snow boots, ski pants, extra hat and gloves would be great
This is really cool! I need one of these because I want to start being more eco-friendly and using a reusable shopping bag would be a nice place to start!
They do look nice and sturdy! One of their market totes would be useful when we’re out shopping — we’d be able to bring everything in with one trip instead of a million… there are a bunch of cute colors/patterns, too!
wow, awesome stuff! I wouldn’t know how to ever choose one over the other! We could seriously use some of those large utility totes for organizing!
I love that they have so many totes. You can never have too many of those.
love the variety of stuff they have …so cute thanks for the review
i love the colors they come in and that they fold easily , which means less space , and yet they carry lots of items , which truly makes these wonderful for shopping

I have back issues as well, but never thought of a reusable tote. Great idea! Learn something new everyday…thanks
Great review! The Monogrammed Cooler Tote Bag Tutti Frutti is on my list!!

They have so many super cute things. I love the Monogrammed Tote Bag Zippered Black and White Swirl. So cute!
I spent 30 minutes oohhhing and ahhhing over all the totes. I love totes, especially big ones. I crochet and have quite a bit of yarn that I’m always trying to find places to store it. I really think that a couple of these beautiful totes would be perfect!
