It never hurts to have an extra bag with you when you go out. Whether you’re picking up groceries and know you’ll need one, or you’re out with friends and unexpectedly grab a few things, a lightweight bag is essential. There are thousands of options out there, but we’ve included them Packable bag by Peak Design in our gift guide because it doesn’t have the typical reusable bag design and remains reasonably affordable at just $20.
The bag is made of 100 percent recycled ripstop nylon, which is durable and water-resistant, and features a zippered closure that most reusable bags don’t. This will keep your belongings more secure and easier to carry in a variety of ways thanks to a single shoulder/hand strap with sporty microfiber padding for added comfort. We also like that it has an internal pocket that can hold a phone, wallet or keys, and it takes up surprisingly little space when it’s packed away. – VP
