I don’t know if you guys buy lots of wine (or liqueur) at once or not, but this bottle bag would cut down on the amount of boxes used each time to move it all to and fro the store and then the recycling center.

“From Reisenthel, this sturdy bottle bag will allow you to safely transport up to 9 1.5 litre bottles. No more bulky boxes or worrying about clanging bottles on the way home. Use the bottle bag to transport recycles to the garbage bin too.”

I’ve been pretty good this year about bringing canvas totes with me to go grocery shopping. It’s mostly working out, but I’ve got to say that this Market tote which has the pockets on the outside for odd shaped bottles would make it almost effortless to carry groceries without feeling like your bag is about to burst at the seams.

If you’re a frequent flyer and hate lugging your luggage around, there’s a service made especially for you. FlyLite will store items you frequently travel with in your own private ‘iCloset’, where you can drag and drop items you need for your next trip into your virtual suitcase, which will then be delivered (via real suitcase) to your hotel, “fresh, clean and ready to go.” Once you’re finished and ready to move on to another city, you give them a call and they’ll arrange for your suitcase to be picked up and returned, where your items will be cleaned and stored for next time. Luggage free travel sounds good, right? Of course it does: no waiting around the baggage carousel, no standing in lines to check in, not to mention less trips to the dry cleaners…all of that sounds spectacular, which is why it’ll cost you $100 per trip.

Multi function laptop bag from the kids in Vienna.

The bag has multiple handles and carrying options, and when not being used to carry a laptop can be folded in half and used just as a regular bag.

Fits mac book / mac book air / macbook pro 15″/17″ and other laptops. features three zipper and two main outside pockets with concealed magnetic closures (so nothing gets scratched or stuck as with velcro) for your charger, iphone/ipod, keys, etc.

Perfect for your laptop, this special 1965 re-edition of that classic Samsonite briefcase certainly shows signs of a makeover. Thinner than the old version with a leather handle face-lift, it’s most likely more comfortable to carry around on a daily basis and has the nifty added feature of a removable laptop sleeve. A divider panel and pockets help keep your papers and necessary electronic components organized.

Signat Attaches:
Mini Attache A5, 11” x 9” x 3”, $240.00
Medium Attache A4, 14” x 11” x 3”, $300.00
Large Attache, 17” x 12.5” x 3”, $360.00

Also, I couldn’t help browsing through some of the other ‘Black Label’ items- the faux crocodile shell of the AI2 I thought was especially eye-catching, along with the Hero, which treats the human form “just like an animal skin, with with the ribcage and sternum at the front of the case and backbone at the back.” (Does anyone else find that very/slightly disturbing?)

SBL Collection Luggage by Alexander McQueen: Available in bone or black
Crocodile AI2 Upright (lower left/middle), 14.5” x 22” x 8.25”, $775.00,
Hero AI 1 Upright (lower right), 17″ x 22.75″ x 10″, $775.00

For those of you who bought the Mac Book Air (or “MBA”, as the cool kids are calling it), you can now purchase a pretty cool bag based on the commercial where the laptop is being pulled out of a manila envelope. The bags are going to be made in limited production so if you want one, get one now.

Man, this is my favorite tote yet.

Nice utilitarian look to this simple case, and it’s super light- which will be very handy when you’re lugging all your travel paraphernalia around.

“The ISI Wheeled stands out from the rest of the luggage available on the market: it’s among the lightest available, thanks to the trolley system with single aluminum tow bar, preformed bottom and nylon accessories and buckles. It also has added durability due to the tough fabric and felled stitching in all stress points.”
