Welcome to Reb’s Bags & Gifts, formerly Reb’s Tees & Gifts! We’re back with a new theme that better represents the angle we want to work from - sustainable, durable, and adorable bags that will carry you through the year. 

Since you don’t know us yet let me tell you a bit about what sets us apart from other small bag stores: 

  1. We have sifted through the offerings at all the major print-on-demand providers to find the most eco-friendly bags we can find. This either means that the bag is made of organic cotton or in case that wasn’t available, durable materials that will stand up to the most ambitious lifestyles. 
  2. We don’t send an order to print until you purchase it. This produces less waste and fewer gas emissions. 
  3. The products are tested. We’ve bought items to check out in person and they hold up under our perfectionist gaze. As we acquire more we’ll be replacing the mockups with real use images. The mockups came with the provider but we are aware that everyone uses them. We’ll be working on that over time. 
  4. Products are regularly updated. If you have a suggestion for something you’d like to see leave a comment. 
  5. The question everyone wants to know: Do we use AI? Yes. We do and we have. But not for much longer. Personally, we have found the design elements of AI to be limited. (And, sometimes weird, if we’re being upfront about it.) We're actively partnering with independent artists and creating original designs in-house. You'll see more artist collaborations and handcrafted designs rolling out throughout the year as we phase out AI-generated elements. For example, check out our in-house designs here: Love Me or Leave Me collection. These bags feature romantic heart patterns on totes, laptop sleeves, and cosmetic bags.  
  6. AI has its uses, though. In the background, we will definitely still be using it for marketing and flow automation purposes. If our shop grows we’ll hire a human for that but right now, it’s the best we can do.

We hope you’ll find what you’re looking for here: Browse our eco-friendly bags and find your new favorite carry-all for 2026!

Happy shopping!

Save Money and Stay Organized: How to Reuse Plastic Bags & My Favorite Cosmetic Bag
An Environmentally Friendly Tip: How to Reuse Plastic Storage Bags Whether we like it or not, plastic storage bags are a part of our lives. Unfortunately, they’re so wasteful. There has to be another option.  There is! Reuse them.  Instead of tossing them after a single use, there’s a simple way to save money, reduce waste, and stay organized. Reusing plastic bags isn’t just eco-friendly; it’s a practical way to stretch your household budget while keeping small items and snacks neatly stored.  Clean Them Properly Cleaning plastic bags correctly is key to safe reuse. Here’s how to do it: Rinse immediately after use – leftover food or residue can harbor bacteria. Wash with warm, soapy water – turn the bag inside out to clean corners and seams thoroughly. Air dry completely – hang or place on a drying rack to prevent moisture buildup. Tip: Avoid reusing bags that held raw meat, oily foods, or anything moldy — safety first! Tip 2: I like to sort mine by size (see picture) and roll them. I use a large rubber band to hold them together and stash them in my drawer with other storage baggies and foil. This way they stay neat and I don't forget to reuse them. Repurpose Them Once cleaned, these bags can have a second life in your home: Snack storage - perfect for portioning treats for work or school. Travel organization - separate toiletries, electronics, or cables. Drawer organization - store small items like craft supplies or makeup samples. Camping - hold a freshly used toothbrush or wet clothes after swimming. Speaking of Bags While reusable plastic bags are great for small organization tasks, nothing beats having a durable, reliable cosmetic bag for your everyday essentials or travel. I recently got a sample of my favorite cosmetic bag, and it’s been a game-changer for keeping my items neat and accessible. Here’s why I love it: Spacious yet compact – fits makeup and skincare for easy access.  Durable materials – easy to clean, so it stays fresh and ready for daily use. Versatile design – works for home, travel, or even as a small organizer in your tote. This small bag offers ultimate portability and organization. It’s the perfect way to combine eco-friendly habits with style and practicality. Tip: Reuse a clean storage bag for stashing dusty eyeshadows and powders in the cosmetic bag. It will keep everything dust free and extend the appearance of your bag.  Check it out here: Love Me or Leave Me Cosmetic Bag  Small changes add up!
