Baggallini Machine Washable Travel Bag
Baggallini’s line of machine washable bags, purses, backpacks, totes, and pouches is the perfect gift for a mom who’s always on the go.

Bleusalt’s environmentally-friendly and sustainable beechwood fabric is literally a dream, so anything you pick will be a win. But, if you need help choosing, The Classic Shirt and The 2 Yard Wrap are my go-tos.
MZ Wallace Metro Pouch
It’s a clutch, it’s a pouch, it’s a diaper holder, it’s anything you need it to be. We adore this bag for its nylon quilted material and packability.
