Meet the Pouchee and then try to win one!

Updated: The winner of the very cool hot pink Pouchee is Leanna Miller! Congratulations Leanna!!

If you are home reading this and not out braving the stores on this crazy shopping day you are in for a treat. A treat that doesn't require any early mornings or long line ups AND keeps the contents of your purse so organized you simply won't believe it. It just doesn't get any better than that now does it :)


Let me introduce you to the Pouchee, the Ultimate Purse Organizer!

When organizer friend, Sandy Jenney (be sure to check out her new cute blog design!), first told me about these lovely little beauties, I have to admit I'd never heard of them before. I was intrigued and so she sent me one to try out and it sure didn't take me long to fall in love. Talk about brilliant thinking here ladies.

What makes this product so clever is that it solves a problem that annoys most women especially women that like to switch their purses up on a regular basis. The Pouchee is designed to carry all your essential purse items in one spot so that when you want to change your bag or purse up you simply just grab your Pouchee and move it from one bag to another. Just like that. Two seconds flat. No fumbling around trying to make sure you get everything. Forget having to say ever again "oh drat I left it in my other purse".

Now although this little Pouchee is compact (it's about 7 x 5 in) it holds A LOT. There is room for everything including your sunglasses, credit cards, money, lipsticks, chequebook, keys, notebook, cell phone, etc. Here are some of the features:

  • 5 credit card slots
  • 3 outside pockets (two of them big enough to hold a cell phone)
  • one inside zippered pocket
  • three divided areas inside
  • two inside lipstick pockets
  • magnetic closure
  • flat bottom so it stands alone
  • two cute circle carrying handles

Don't be afraid to carry your Pouchee alone either. When I was at the Professional Organizer's Conference a couple of weeks ago I saw a lady doing just that and she looked fab! They come in both a cotton material and a swanky leatherette and you will absolutely not believe the color selection, it's awesome. Seriously this product is cool and it gets a big thumbs up from me.

Sandy was so nice to totally increase my cool factor by introducing me to this product. Now she wants to do the same with one lucky reader here today. Sandy is giving away a hot pink cotton Pouchee to one of you!!!

Leave a comment by Monday night (Dec 1st) at 6:00 pm PST and you too just might be sporting some new organized coolness in the very near future :)

If you'd like to purchase a Pouchee of your own or for a Christmas gift, you can do so easily enough by visiting Sandy's site, Organize With Sandy.

I would love the chance to win one! Fab find!

Colleen said...

Love this, love this!

I work at 3 different sites a day. Have to rummage through my purse for my keys and lipstick to make the switches. Have almost no time to do that!
Yay for the brilliant mind who thought this up!

mermaids said...

this would be perfect for the bag i use for use for school. i'm a substitute teacher....doesn't that mean i deserve it? :)

Those are just adorable. I'd love to win one.

Granna said...

Hey - I like that!! I would love one!

KJB said...

That's brilliant. I move all my purse contents into a basket, and then place them into the new purse (with a bit of purging). This would be a big improvement. :-)

Candy said...

I would love to have several of these where would I get them? I could really get organized using them for other things besides my purse.

Tim, Allyson, and kids said...

As a mom of two under 18 months, I'm known to just throw my keys and license into the diaper bag. This would be so much better!!

ooooh, I can't wait! :)

Harmony said...

Cool giveaway! Some people are so creative and I love it!

Kelly said...

That is just the thing I need!! I love switching purses a lot but hate messsing with switching all of my stuff over. This would be so easy!

cuddles said...

Ooooh! These look super neat! I have a small make-up bag that I keep all of my essentials in for easy purse-switching, but there's always extra things lurking around that also need to be switched. This would eliminate all those extra things! Great idea! I want one!

Brill!

Dana said...

cool, I've never heard of these before. Looks like they are really neat!

Anonymous said...

This sounds perfect. I do love to switch purses to match my outfit, but it is so annoying to have to clean everything out from one purse to the other. And for just a quick run somewhere where all you need are the essentials, you can just grab that and go!

BTW, Monday is Dec. 1, not Nov. 30. :-)

Amy V. said...

Looks much better than the line of pockets I've been trying to organize my purse with. Very spiffy!

Amy said...

THAT'S AWESOME!!!!It would be great for keeping my stuff together in the diaper bag when I just want to carry one bag. How cool.

sara said...

fun!

would be a great gift for my mama!

junebug69 said...

oooh! count me in...I just told my friend the other day "I wish they made something to keep all your stuff in that could move from purse to purse" and YEAH! They did!

Anonymous said...

Wow, what a fabulous idea. No more getting to the till and realising you've left your purse in another bag. Or, is that just me?

Megan said...

What a great idea! Thanks!

Rachel said...

I just bought 2 new purses and this would make switching between them SO much easier!

I opened my purse today in a checkout and an unwrapped tampon was in plain sight. If it's not that, it's an unwrapped sucker or broken crayons. Congrats on a great product!

Micah and Katie said...

Great Idea, I thought after having a baby that my days of carrying a purse were over. OH I really hope I am the lucky winner!!

Tracy said...

I would love one of those for my purse!!! I'm always looking for stuff in my purse!!!

Momma Bear said...

Oh Thank God! Someone has thought of this! I'm constantly switching from my diaper bag to my purse and I keep forgetting either my sunglasses, my cell phone or tylenol, etc.

Love that!! If I don't win I'll probably buy one- that's such a good idea.

Traveling Woman said...

Really looks like a "must have". I really would like to win this one.

Mamame said...

What a wonderful idea! I can see how that could be great to have even for my college student daughter who sometimes uses a purse and sometimes just uses her backpack. VERY cool!

Hautemama said...

What a wonderful product! The site wouldn't let me comment - I'm glad I tried again... pick me! I'll most likely end up buying one anyways though...

Anonymous said...

What a fun idea! My purse is always such a nightmare! This would be great to make my purse functional. I change purses a lot, so it would be nice to be able to just pull it out and move on to the next purse! Super idea!!

Anonymous said...

Looks like a great idea! No more sorting through items in my purse!

Anonymous said...

Very cute and a girl always needs something in pink. I think it would be very cool not to have to dig for things.

Peggy said...

I'm sure if, I had something as convenient as a Pouchee, I'd change my purse more often to match my current outfit. I have a friend whom I see carrying a different purse every time I see her...I wonder if she is hiding a Pouchee in there?!

Unknown said...

What a great little organizer! I'd love to have it!!

Jenny said...

Thank kind of organizer is great for someone like me, who likes backpacks and not purses, but sometimes has to carry one anyways. I duplicate some things between the bag and the purse, but somethings you just have to transfer, no matter what!

Anonymous said...

This looks like excatly what I need. My children call my purse "Mary"(as in Mary Poppins)because I practicaly have to take everything out of my purse to find something.

Great idea--I need help with my purse!

Amy said...

Once I had kids, my purse was no longer my own and the bag I carry often changes through the day - depending on the activity we are going to and the 'emergency' materials we will need... the biggest pain is trying to make sure that I have MY necessary ID, which never changes between bags. This is accessory is exactly what I've been looking for!

What a great product. Pick me I so need some cheering up after losing my niece this week.

Unknown said...

I've always looked at purse organizers and this one looks the best by far! I soooo need one of those!

Amanda said...

I need this so bad! I am a mother of three young kids with another one on the way. I have long since traded in the purse for a diaper bag. The problem with most diaper bags is that they do not provide space for Mommy items. I have plenty of pockets for sippy cups and wipes, but no where to safetly put my lipgloss and wallet. I do not need my make-up items lost in a sea of crayons at the bottom of the diaper bag. This item is at the top of my Christmas list!

Wow that is great! My handbag not only has way to many pockets for things to get lost in, but recently the lining tore. Not too fun digging through torn layers of lining to find the right lipstick. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing it.

Melanie said...

That is brilliant! I love room purses but then I just end up with a jumble at the bottom. In fact I just bought a useless small makeup bag for my purse the other day. I would love the Pouchee (and the name is fun too!)

Anonymous said...

I would so like to win this! I really dread changing purses because some of them don't have a proper place for my items. They become all mixed up inside my purse and I fumble trying to find things, UGH!

I'd love to have one of these - if I win I'm going to give it to my mother-in-law for Christmas - she could certainly use one!

I am new to your site and love it. I love this little baby. I am a teacher at a high school and don't like to carry my purse into schoo. This would allow me to slip into my teaching bag nice and easy. What a great solution. I would love one.

I am a homeschool mom who is always on the go. This would be perfect for those field trips where I do not want to carry a big purse but need "just a little something" to put stuff in. I always struggle with purse organization, this would be a big help! Thanks for the idea...

Good luck to me (and to all the other women who entered). This looks like a great product. Probably better than the long thing with pockets that rolls up.

Those are too cute! I'd love to win one. I am one of those women who has a closet full of purses that I never use, because I hate changing purses. I'm lucky if I change twice a year, once for fall/winter, and once for spring/summer. I think this would change that!

This is great! I hate having a purse and a diaper bag, now I can put this in the diaper bag- wow- just like the mom above me! I think I may even use this as a holiday gift.

Oh, this is wonderful! Right now, all I carry is a diaper bag but there is no place to stash MY stuff! It gets dumped in the bottom or (don't cringe here) right now all my stuff travels around in a zip-loc baggie. Yes, I need a life! :)
