Modern Photo Pocket Tote Bag*
Bring your memories and anything else you need with this modern tote.
Carry a fashionable statement of your personality with a Modern Photo Pocket Tote Bag. Share photos of your favorite memories in this highly customizable tote, which acts as a perfect conversation piece. Better yet, it is a snap to update for the seasons, taking it from summer to fall by simply swapping out your photos.
Made of a clear plastic to best showcase your works of art, it is simple to keep clean. Fill the seven pockets with photos, postcards, or other small souvenirs of great times you have experienced, and you will always have a story to tell. Display holiday cards during the blustery months, or show off some pressed flowers once spring rolls around.
It makes a great gift for grandma, framing pictures of the grandkids and the paintings they have done for her. There is nothing to engrave and nothing to spell correctly: the personalizing is hers to do, at the kitchen table, in ten minutes, and she can redo the whole bag any afternoon a new school photo arrives.
Because of its durable construction, it also makes a great beach tote, showcasing great times on family vacations or girlfriend getaways. You won't lose those small shells and sea glass you have found during your travels by safely displaying them in one of the windows. Pair it with an adorable engraved Beach Sandal Keychain to complete the beach ensemble, or impress gram further with a Double Photo Frames Magnetic Key Holder.
At 15"H x 17"W x 6"D with 10" handles, the Modern Photo Pocket Tote Bag is a full-size tote, not a novelty: towels and a book for the sand, the farmers market haul on Saturday, craft supplies, a change of clothes for the grandkids, the things a real bag has to swallow on an ordinary day.
Your friends and strangers alike will want a bag of their own once they see yours. Don't let it out of your sight too long though, because with as easy as it is to customize, they might stake claim to it and fill it with their own memories. You might as well pick up a couple of totes, so you can surprise them with their very own. HansonEllis has been putting names, faces and memories on gifts since 1999.

Which one should I choose
Photo gifts split into the kind that fix one picture forever and the kind you can change; this tote is firmly in the second camp.
| Modern Photo Pocket Tote Bag | Choose it when the photos should change: seven clear pockets, 15"H x 17"W x 6"D, refilled whenever the season or the school photo does. |
|---|---|
| A tote with a photo printed on it | Choose it when one image should stay on the bag permanently; it cannot be updated later. |
| A plain canvas or engraved tote | Choose it when you want a name or monogram on the outside rather than pictures in windows. |
For a gift that keeps being re-given every time the photos change, the Modern Photo Pocket Tote Bag is the pick; add a Beach Sandal Keychain or a Double Photo Frames Magnetic Key Holder to round out the set.
