The Purse Place Review & Giveaway

It never ceases to amaze me how many cool products there are on Etsy. This week I came across the Purse Place and their amazing I Spy Purses. These aren't  the kind  of purses you wear over your shoulder. I have never seen anything quite like them before. The I Spy Purse is a bag filled with rice. Hidden within the rice are 37 different objects that you have to seek out. My family received one to review, and I think its been in someone's hands every minute since its arrival. I never imagined we would like it so much. But it becomes a personal challenge to find all the items. Its a lot of fun and a better destresser than those squishy balls. I wish I had one back when I was working!

The bag itself is hand sown and stuffed with natural rice. Many similar products are made with  polypropylene pellets. Rice is not only better for the environment, but safer for children and pets. Attached to the bag is a list of the surprises inside which is lamented to keep it in good condition. Our list included a spiderweb, ladybug, dice, frog and fish to name just a few. My kids played with it for hours, and like I already mentioned. I enjoyed it too. The only downside is that its almost too addicting! I might not get any reviews done if I keep playing with my I Spy Purse! LOL

In addition to the I Spy Purses, The Purse Place makes some beautiful flower rings, crocheted fruit slices, regular hand bags, and adorable hair accessories. This month is their one year anniversary on Etsy so its a great time to start shopping. All orders will receive 10% off (before shipping). Check them out today for a unique gift idea or a fun self indulgence for yourself.
