It never hurts to carry an extra bag with you every time you go out. Whether you're shopping for groceries and know you'll need it, or you're going out with friends and picking up a few things unexpectedly, a lightweight tote bag is crucial. There are thousands of options, but we included the Peak Design Foldable Tote Bag in our gift guide because it doesn't have the typical reusable bag design and is still pretty affordable at just $20.
The bag is made from 100 percent recycled ripstop nylon, which is durable and waterproof, and has a zipper closure, something most other reusable bags don't have. It'll keep your items safer because of it, and it's easier to carry in different ways thanks to its unique shoulder/hand strap that features microfiber padding for added comfort. We also like that it has an interior pocket that can hold a phone, wallet, or keys, and that it takes up a surprisingly small amount of space when packed into itself. – vice president
