Win a BeachPack

Celebrate the first day of Spring by getting organized for a summer at the beach, lake or pool! We're thrilled to give you the chance to win a BeachPack-- Mamanista's pick for the best beach bag!

The BeachPack was invented by Terry Donze, a mom who grew frustrated with how difficult it was to lug all of her children's gear to and from the beach. Standard beach tote bags would constantly slip off her shoulder and weren't great for her back either. Plus, packing the standard beach tote was a pain since she needed two hands to cram the towels into the bag. And when she got to the beach, all her stuff would be jumbled together inside the huge tote- making it difficult to find what she needed quickly.

Terry wanted a backpack-style bag she could pack easily and that was large enough to organize towels, sunscreen, reading materials, snacks, bottled water, a cellphone, and other beach essentials. As the creators of the popular line of Game Savers organizers sold at The Container Store and online at www.gamersavers.net, Terry and her two sisters Suzanne and Mickie had experience designing products and turning an idea into an actual prototype. After a lot of hard work, the beach bag of Terry's dreams became a reality.

The BeachPack is painless to pack since it was designed to stay open and upright when placed on the ground. (I was able to toss in my fluffy, oversized beach towels without even bending over!) It has lots of exterior and interior pockets to organize everything you need for a day at the beach or pool, which means you won't have to waste time digging around for items you need at the bottom of your bag. And since it's a backpack, you can tote massive amounts of gear and still have your hands free to carry baby or your beach umbrella.

The BeachPack holds up to 5 beach towels and is the perfect size for families. (Starting in May 2008, couples looking for a smaller bag will be able to buy a Mini Beach Pack that holds 2-3 towels.) The BeachPack is made from durable PVC-coated polyester, comes in three color choices, and sells for $45.95 at www.beachpack.net.

For an additional $5, you can even personalize your bag by having your name embroidered on the front pocket. Since I guarantee you that your friends will beg to borrow this bag, I'd invest in the personalization to ensure you get your BeackPack back after they've fallen in love with it!

Win It:
To win the BeachPack, submit a comment on this post by 12:59 EST on March 28, 2008 letting us know what you love most about the BeachPack. For an extra chance to win, help support this mom-owned business by writing about the BeachPack on your blog. (Just leave a comment here linking to your blog post.)

I love that the BeachPack is designed to stay open and upright when placed on the ground. I’ve always had problems with my beach totes tipping over– spilling my towels and sunscreen into the sand.

Teri S. comments:

Leave it to a mom to come up with an incredible bag to use at the pool, beach, wherever! This would be fabulous for my daughter who is on our local swim team. The bag she uses now does not stay upright and often spills. It doesn’t have any pockets to keep her goggles, sunscreen and light snacks seperate from her suit, cover up and towel. This would be the answer to her struggle to keep her items organized, clean and dry during the day long swim meets that we attend!!
Mom’s are so smart!!!

I like the drawstring opening (you can stuff a lot into it!). The only improvement I can think of is adding an insulated layer to keep drinks & sandwiches cool during the day.

Wish I had a blog!!

This would not only be great for the beach but, also for all the trips to the soccer games, track and field events, baseball games, football, etc. We are always packing blankets (since it is cold usually during these sports seasons) to sit on or keep warm, suncreen, bottled waters, snacks, etc.

So, I think the best thing about this is not just for the beach, but, for every other type of outing famlies go on! Toooo KEWL!

kelly wakefield comments:

I love everything about it! It would actually be multi-functional for me! Our kids are competitive swimmers and I’m always looking for the perfect “swim mom” swim meet bag! It’s gotta hold everything a good swim mom needs for a long weekend at the pool — wallet, books and magazines (to read in between the events), snacks (for the little swimmers and swim moms and dads), drinks (necessity for those overly hot & humid pools), pain reliever and antacid (trust me - headaches are common during swim meets, especially when it’s your kid that disqualifies the relay that would have gotten first place), cell phone, time books, pens, pencils, seat pads (those benches get EXTREMELY hard after 3 hours!), sewing kit (for emergency deck clothes repairs), first aid kit (swimmers are NOT coordinated out of the water!), extra batteries for the game boy/PSP, and lots more!!! I love the bright colors — would make it easy to find in the packed bleachers/pool stands!!!

First off, I love the vibrant bright colors, lots of pockets for storage so you can actually find the lotion, and I love that is stands upright and open when you are packing it. It is also great because it can hold up to 5 towels. I love it so much I also posted about it on my blog too.

I love all of the exterior pockets so you can store things on the outside that you will need to get to quickly without hassle. Nothing worse than needing your cell phone, keys or coins and having to dig into the dark recesses of a bag that your sunblock just spilled into! The colors are great too so this bag is a winner all the way around.

I love that it’s a backpack–my favorite–and that I can just leave most of my beach stuff in there permanently. Also that it will stay open at the beach, no fumbling with sandy hands!

I take my two kids to the pool almost everyday in the summer. We like to stay for a long time and my current bag doesn’t hold everything we want to take. By the time I am packed, I look like a pack mule and have to perform a very careful balancing act to get everything and everyone into the pool area. I love the fact that this bag will hold all of our junk!
