carry on this season with lily ryan — and gift ideas too! {#aSIMPLEchristmas}

Sometimes there are items you use daily, and people ask about them. I love it when that happens, because it means I picked a winner! That speaks highly upon the quality and visual appeal alone. So, with that preface, I wanted to share something with you all that I’ve been sporting for a while, and, in addition, I have purchased for teacher’s gifts. Be it end of year gifts, birthday gifts and/or Christmas gifts. I have a “local to me” shop, but she ships too, Lily Ryan. Sure, if you follow us on social media or if you have been with us reading the blog for a bit now, this isn’t a new shop. We love, so we keep using and sharing!

Lily Ryan offers camera straps, camera bags, cash/coin pouches, messenger and hobo bags. I have about half of what she offers, and love it all! The color combinations in her fabric are stellar and the construction of the items are top notch. Plus, she’s a pretty super, duper person. So that helps too!

The hobo bag I most recently obtained has turned in to my gym bag. Before that, it was a daily…mom on the go bag. Throw it and go! The size is great and fits a lot. Yet, it’s not so big that you lose things. I went in with some parents for three of my daughter’s classes for end of year gifts for the teachers. The teachers were happy and the parents were raving at what a fun gift idea this was!The camera bag is awesome too because it’s not a honkin’ huge bag. It has little compartments where I store an additional lens and other essentials. There is also a zippered pouch on the outside where I leave my phone and/or money. Last, I like to wear it as a cross body, but some like it as a shoulder bag. There is an adjustable strap s that can be great for those who like both ways!Needless to say, Lily Ryan is a great one stop shop for gift ideas. Not only gift ideas, heck, great for essentials for yourself!
