These days, it’s not only ladies that carry around half their lives in their hand-bags; men do too. Any office worker or business person probably never leaves for the city without their mobile phone, their laptop, their wallet, books, papers, and various other bits and pieces that really just don’t fit in their bag. Well, for these people, and for anyone really, Acme Made bags are the answer.

Acme Made sprang into existence in 2002, with aims to create ‘superbags’; bags that do it all. They hold everything you could possibly need to bring and they are so well made…the likelihood of something going wrong with your Acme Made bag is really almost non-existent, and that’s not a common attribute in our consumer driven world!

But wait! We’re not yet done with singing the praise for Acme Made…no no! It’s time you meet some of the Acme Made products which we stock here at MyGiftee.com. Firstly, take a look at Acme Made Slim Laptop Bag which is designed to fit most laptops including Apple, Sony, Dell, HP and Gateway, and is very streamlined and durable. Available in chocolate, black or striped, each bag is medium sized, water resistant and has splash proof zips. These classically designed bags will fit right into another bag, or can be carried alone, with or without their removable strap.

If the first bag doesn’t take your fancy, our Acme Made Slim Cargo Bag may be what you’re looking for. In order to provide for functionality and storage, the Cargo possesses a large outer cargo pocket that is roomy enough to carry most additional accessories and is lined with “cashmere-finish” micro-suede lining. These designer bags are available in black and chocolate, two very classic and understated colors, which will go with any colored suit. Some of the attributes which the Slim Cargo Bag are that it’s water proof, has a removable shoulder strap, quilted satin lining and multiple internal pockets.

Last on our list of Acme Made items is the Acme Made The Trixy Bag which is probably the more stylish of the bags, with a slightly retro design. This bag is fully lined and designed for new MacBooks, 15″ MacBook Pro, and all PowerBooks (12 and 15″ styles) but will fit most laptops. It is so laden with pockets and neat little hiding places; you will fit far more than just your laptop in this bag. At the same time, the bag is not cumbersome, and succeeds in being a great laptop bag, whilst at the same time being highly stylish.

Acme Made; there’s a reason that they are so popular.

On Sunday, May 11th, it will be Mothers Day. It is a holiday that often gets overlooked, as it is not related to religion or anniversaries of any kind. But, we think that Mothers Day is as important as any day of celebration, because it focuses attention on those wonderful women that brought us into this world, and that nurtured us into the person we are today. In reality, your mother has probably been the most important person in your life. Think about that for a second; is that a true statement in your case? We hope so!

But what is a cake without delicious icing? You cake will be that wonderful one-of-a-kind gift, and the icing which we put on it is our really beautiful gift wrapping, an often forgotten but important element with any gift. You want your mother to be so touched by the gift, and you want to excite her and keep her wondering what this wonderful gift is, by the gift wrapping. All our gifts are individually and creatively packed to reflect the content of the gift, so your ‘giftee’ gets a hint of what their gift is, just enough to add an extra spice of excitement.
