fancy shmancy diaper bag, anyone? SOLD OUT

I, like many, have lusted over the Petunia Picklebottom line of diaper bags many a time. I have never considered actually buying one because, hello nearly $100 on a diaper bag, I think not. Also, I've never fancied myself as a person who cared about having a fancy diaper bag. I generally use a cheapo bookbag that I've had forever, and when Penny was wee, we had an $8 bag from Wal-mart (gasp!) that was okay. Honestly I kind of hated the thing b/c it was shoulder straps only and it was impossible to wear it comfortably while also wearing baby in a carrier, which is what I do most of the time. That's when the bookbag came into play. Baby on my front, bag on my back. Yes, I look like a pack mule. Anyways, back to my point...
For some reason I am more interested in pretty diaper bags this time around. Maybe I am just tired of frumpy things in general, and know it is going to be even harder to not turn into a walking scrunchy-head, flip-flop, sweat-pants mom lady when I have 2 littles to care for. So I feel like maybe if I have a diaper bag that doesn't scream DIAPER BAG, it will help my case. Whatever the reason, I got excited to see this deal. Thanks to Mara over on the Baby Cheapskate FB page, I was turned onto this outlet sale of Petunia Picklebottom bags. They are even organic. For $40!!!!

Maybe people won't be staring at the spit-up on your shoulder if they are too busy admiring the gorgeous print on your bag. Maybe?

Diaper Bags deal

If you are in the market for a diaper bag, as I am, you will be interested in the ones that are on Gilt right now. This is another one of those flash deal sites and it's one that I have had great experience with. Shipping takes a little longer, but they give you a good estimate of when to expect your items. Right now they have a variety of diaper bags for really great prices. I personally like the Skip Hop Duo Deluxe bags, like the one pictured above. They are on sale for $27, usually $54! This is the best deal you will see on these. I have been tracking this bag on Amazon for a while now and it has never gone below $44. Another great thing about Gilt is that you can get free shipping for just sending email invites to 10 friends!



If you would rather have a more gender neutral or manly diaper bag, check out the Diaper Dude sale at Totsy. The one above is $27.18 (orig. price $98!). Shipping on Totsy is a little price at around $8, but that would still be a good deal for these bags. Also, they tend to take a long time to ship, so don't buy anything from them expecting it by a certain date, but other than the long shipping time I haven't had any issues with ordering from this site. I got some adorable Zutano clothes from them not too long ago. Check RetailMeNot for any current coupon codes.
