Until this one. It's called the Ultimate Parent Backpack, but we make no judgments here, so we're selling it to anyone who appreciates what separates it from the kids' versions. Made of water resistant nylon, the large main compartment is augmented by: a laptop and tablet compartment; cable management system; adjustable stroller straps, diaper changing pocket with changing mat and separate wet pocket; multiple phone and bottle pockets; key chain holder; luggage support strap; accessories pocket; wipes dispenser; and hidden security pockets on the back for tickets, passports and wallet, plus one on a front strap for cash or credit cards. Call it the ultimate travel/diaper bag/backpack that you won't leave home without. In fashionable and water repelling, stain-concealing black. Measures only 12.5" wide x 16" tall x 9.5" deep

Or in the air again? Or do you just like to be prepared, like any good Surpie does, for when regular travel returns? This soft-sided, black vinyl bag is a compact 21" x 13" x 6", well within carry-on rules, and easy to toss in the trunk or back seat. Zippered around the outside, it has a 7" long pocket, a zippered side pocket at 15" x 7", and another 13" x 9" pocket. Includes a shoulder strap and carrying handle. Not a roller, but an easy tote at under 3 lbs tare weight. (That means "empty"--we learned it from the side of a truck.)

This gusseted, white plastic tote bag measures 17" x 16" x 4” with handles approx 12” long and has, for reasons unclear, a front that mimics a doctor's jacket with a stethoscope hanging around the neck of the bag. Ignore the faux medical-ness and just treat it like any other handy, waterproof plastic tote at a ridiculously low price. Or, go around telling people you’re in med school.

This soft-sided Mighty Mate cooler is ubiquitous in the Your-Logo-Here world of promotional items, but ours escaped before they could be imprinted. It’s a cross between a cooler and a messenger bag, actually, measuring 10” x 8” x 11” tall with a handle on top and an adjustable shoulder strap. The 8” x 8” zipper pocket on the front is where the missing promo message would have gone. In black with attractive lime green highlights.

Protecting your devices just makes sense. But you want to do it with style, too, which is where these (2) black and gray padded sleeves come in. Made of that wet suit-like material. You pick: the cushy 8" x 10" tablet sleeve with a flap over the main 7-3/4" wide slot, a 2-3/4" x 5-1/2" pocket for your phone, and a zippered 5-3/4" x 7" pocket for whatever; or the reinforced, flexible case/stand for your tablet at 10-3/8" x 8" with a double zipper, a 2-3/4" x 5-3/4" pocket for your phone, and a zippered 5-1/4" x 6-5/8" pocket, again for whatever. Get creative with your stylish storage. Price these sleeves at chain retailers and you might buy both of ours.

And take it on the road with this soft polyester cosmetic bag. In red or royal blue (Our choice), it measures 9-1/2" x 6" x 3", zippered with a handle and includes (2) zippered compartments, one open with gussets to fit larger items and the other with a clear zippered brush pocket and panel with a flap. Great for traveling but also nice enough to keep in your home bathroom. And if you're not into makeup, it's just a great little bag with lots of compartments for stuff--jewelry, craft supplies, art supplies, snacks, whatever.

It’s cheaper just to buy your own messenger bag. This one is light beige polyester canvas, 10" x 13-1/2" x 3-1/2" with a front flap with a magnetic clasp and side zipper that opens a 10" x 7" outside pocket. Inside is a 7-1/2" x 10" pocket with another the same size on the back. Two 5-1/2” deep open pockets on the inside, plus another zippered 7-1/2" x 12-1/2" pocket on the inside back. And of course it comes with an attached shoulder strap, 70” long and adjustable, with a sliding shoulder pad.

Call it the bag of a lesser messenger. This dark olive Extreme Pak™ tote looks like a mini-backpack but has a shoulder strap plus a pair of handles. Measures approx 11-1/2" tall x 8-1/2" wide x 6" deep front to back, it's got a big inside zippered compartment, a smaller zippered pouch on the bottom, a pair of hook-and-loop closed pockets on the top, plus a plethora (that'd be 10) of band loops to hang stuff off. Mfg suggested retail is over $30. Just saying.

These white nylon mesh storage bags are made for storing furs out of season, but they’re happy to hold any clothing you need to keep moth-free while letting air circulate. Made of white nylon mesh fabric, the tops are solid quilted plastic, 18-1/2” x 5-1/4” wide in a wire frame with (2) parallel swiveling hooks. Each bag has a full-length zipper. You pick the 54” long coat/dress dress size or the 39” long jacket/suit size.

These satin-finish zipper bags have a vinyl interior and measure 20” long x 10” tall x 4” wide when you open the gusset on the bottom. Sort of the proportions of a giant pencil holder. Made for some specific purpose that nobody has shared with us, but think giant clutch bags, travel organizers, dressy briefcases or cash deposit bags to impress your bank. We'll pick one in red, black, lime green or royal blue.
