It never hurts to have an extra bag with you when you go out. Whether you're grocery shopping and know you'll need it, or heading out with friends and unexpectedly pick up a few items, a lightweight tote bag is crucial. There are thousands of options, but we've included Peak Design Foldable Tote in our gift guide because it doesn't have the typical reusable bag design and remains fairly affordable at just $20.
The bag is made from 100 percent recycled ripstop nylon, which is stretchy and water-resistant, and has a zipper closure that most other reusable bags don't have. It keeps your belongings safer and makes it easier to carry in a variety of ways thanks to the single shoulder/handle strap, lined with microfiber for added comfort. We also like that it has an interior pocket that can hold your phone, wallet, or keys, and when folded it takes up surprisingly little space. — Vice President
