Claire’s Secret Santa Circle allows users to create their own gift wish list, view their friends’ lists and suggest items for other friends to add.  Once a user joins, they are secretly matched to their Secret Santa assignment and receive a digital coupon for $5 off a $10 or more purchase at Claire’s, providing a helpful discount for their gift purchase.

I am a totebag queen, there are probably 20+ different types of totebags in my house. None of them have been good for grocery shopping-until I got my Joey Totes. My boys and I have used our Joey Totes and have carried a lot of grocries in them. The Joey Totes come in 2 sizes the Big Joey is 18″ x 28″x 5″ and folds into its attached 9.5″ x 5″ pouch. The Small Joey is 14″ x 21″ x 4″ and folds into its attached 8″ x4″ pouch. I carry my 2 small Joeys inside my large Joey and they fit right in my purse so I always have them when I need them.

I will say Joey Totes are probably the least fashionable of all of my bags-they are steel gray ripstop nylon, but they do a job none of my other totes do. My 3 Joey Totes carry at least the equivalent of 5-6 plastic grocery bags, including a gallon of milk! Joey Totes can be hand washed and line dried so if something should spill in them, you can clean them right up.

You can only purchase the Joey Totes at their website, the awesome people at Joey Totes are offering all of The Mom Maven readers 10% off of their orders during the month of May! Just use the coupon code MomMavenSaves at check out and receive your discount.
