How to Get Free Goodie Bags and Event Swag

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

You may recall our recent post where we raved about Envirosax reusable bags. These lightweight, foldable fabric bags impressed us with their large carrying capacity, compact storage (each one folds down small enough to fit in a pocket or the palm of your hand), comfortable handles, and their vibrant, stylish patterns. They make an easy, attractive alternative to single-use plastic bags and are perfect for everyday errands.

After we shared our enthusiasm, the team at Envirosax noticed and generously offered to sponsor a giveaway for our readers. That meant a chance for several of you to win a set of their popular pouch packs—five coordinating bags neatly stored in a compact pouch that fits in a glove compartment, purse, or tote.

Each pouch holds five full-size bags that unfold to a roomy size while still folding back down into a tiny package for convenient storage. Because the pouch is small and portable, it’s simple to keep a set in your car, tuck a few into a gym bag, or carry one in your everyday bag so you’re always ready to shop without relying on disposable bags.

  • PRIZE: A 5-bag pouch of Envirosax from their graphic series (retail value: $38)
  • HOW TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the phrase “I WANT SAX” (or use “BAG ME” if you prefer)
  • BONUS QUESTION: Visit Envirosax’s site to browse designs and tell us which pattern best matches your personality or home aesthetic. Gentlemen, you might like the Oxford series for a more understated look.

Why choose reusable bags like Envirosax? They reduce the need for disposable plastic bags, cutting down on waste and helping protect the environment. Their fabric construction is durable and easy to clean, and the variety of prints and colors makes it simple to pick designs that match your personal style. Because the bags are so compact when folded, they’re practical for people with busy lives who want to make an eco-friendly swap without added hassle.

Use your Envirosax pouch to organize shopping trips—reserve one bag for produce, another for pantry items, a third for heavier items, and so on. The coordinating designs make it easy to find the bag you need at a glance, and the pouch keeps everything together when not in use. Splitting the set between a few commonly used bags, a purse, and a car ensures you’re never caught without a reusable option.

For anyone entering giveaways in general, a few quick tips: read the official rules, make sure your contact information is accurate, and note shipping restrictions or deadlines. Keep an eye on the announcement so you don’t miss a message if you win. And if a giveaway requires visiting a sponsor’s site or answering a bonus question, take a minute to browse the sponsor’s products so you can respond thoughtfully.
