Before I dive in to the huge BlogHer recap post, I wanted to take a minute to thank the wonderful sponsors that made it possible for me to attend this year’s event. I learned so much, revisited old friends, met new ones, networked, attended the occasional party and of course promoted your products like crazy! I had a great time representing your brands and thank you so much for trusting your products and funds to me for the last few days.
In case you were not one of the people I caught in the lobby, in the elevator, outside the sessions or in the bathroom (ha!) here is a recap of the incredible sponsors:
Label Daddy: Great labels for all of your childrens’ clothing and now luggage tags, too! Made right here in the USA! If you were one of the lucky ones to receive a $10 gift card, make sure you put Label daddy on your Back to School shopping list!
Funky Kidz Music: It was GREAT to be able to share a little bit of New Orleans with the blogosphere! Check out this toe tappin’ CD filled with great tunes inspired by New Orleans!
MayFair Lane: The “To Review” clips were a hit amongst my fellow product review bloggers! If you haven’t seen the Happeez line of great organizational products over at MayFair Lane, you must head there now!
The Bomb Mom: Did you see how cute those tote bags were? By the end of the conference, I had people seeking ME out to get one! Check out the incredibly cute tees, too!
Kolobags: Many of you got the chance to check out the way cool PINK interior to my white leather Gina B laptop bag. Kolobags has a wide variety of styles and range of prices. Check out the new accessories they have, too!
Natity’s Designs: These business cards were included in all of The Not-So-Blog’s swag bags passed out throughout the conference. I had the chance to review one of the stroller liners and I loved it! Have an upcoming baby shower? Make sure you shop at Natity’s!
Social Circle Cards: My circle business cards stood out in the sea of rectangles at the BlogHer Conference! The adorable carrying case was so convenient! Many PR reps took down this sponsors website for future reference!
New Native: The baby doll slings were a HUGE hit at BlogHer! I had lots of great products to hand out to interested attendees including slings, diaper bags, blankets, and shirts.
Again, thank you so much for sponsoring me at BlogHer 2009! I had a great time and feel like I represented you all well! Each company got incredibly positive responses from the participants in the conference! THANK YOU!
Gina B Bella laptop bag from Kolobags (Gift #6)
Kolobags‘ Gina B bella laptop bag will be the perfect professional, stylish and functional laptop bag for attending BlogHer 2009!
One Gina B bella laptop bag from Kolobags, my laptop and a girl ready for BlogHer! About Kolobags:
“Kolobags is the one-stop shop for everyone looking for technology fashion without compromising on style. The online boutique offers the widest array of designer laptop bags, specialty bags and technology accessories available both on- and off-line. Since its opening in Fall 2004, Kolobags has offered an ever-changing selection of top-of-the-line designs, all hand-selected from the latest styles emerging from around the world. “
I was like a kid in a candy store when I opened the box! I searched every inch of the Gina B bag, placed my laptop in the sleeve and checked out this bag from every angle in the mirror! I am definitely not a vein person, but this bag totally sucked me in from first glance.
I decided to use all of my senses to test this bag. SMELL: The first thing I noticed when pulling this bag from the box was how amazing it smelled! I absolutely love the smell of leather! TOUCH: The Gina B bag is so soft! It does not feel flimsy and has a nice weight to it. You can feel the craftsmanship of this bag! SIGHT: The appearance of this bag was stylish, classy and professional. When I opened the bag, I fell in love! It was PINK (for those of you that know me well, you can practically see me dancing around the house, right?)! Not only was this a stylish and professional bag, but was FUN, too! The Gina B bella laptop bag comes complete with a padded laptop sleeve and 2 main compartments for storage which close with a magnetic clasp. A zippered pocket and a clasp for keys really helps keep your things organized. By carrying this laptop bag at BlogHer, I will not need to carry a purse as well. HEARING: Ok, I know it is weird to “listen” to a laptop bag, but go with me on this. After taking the time to stock my bag, I had used the zipper several times. You can definitely tell the quality of this bag by the way the zipper sounds…I hope that makes sense! It is a heavy duty zipper which gives me confidence that my laptop is safe and secure. TASTE: Just kidding….I skipped this one. I don’t think the fine people at Kolobags would appreciate me licking this laptop bag….although I was tempted! LOL!
I was genuinely impressed with the quality, appearance and functionality of the Gina B Bella bag, but I was also impressed by the entire Kolobags website and customer service! With the selection of products available and the “laptop bag finder” tool, there is certainly a bag for every taste and budget! Kolobags has made is very easy to find THE perfect bag by allowing customers to search the products by size, color, price, brand, function and style. Recently, Kolobags has expanded their product line and is now offering wallets, camera cases, and much more! Kolobags is also customer friendly by offering FREE shipping on orders over $50!
The Gina B Bella bag can be purchased directly from Kolobags for $249.00. Do you need an incredible laptop bag? Kolobags has genrously offered one lucky Not-So-Blog reader a Gina B Bella Bag of their very own!!
