There is a special relationship between mother and daughter that lasts an eternity. Caboodles, who has been making and keeping memories since 1987, was inspired by a letter they received from one of their customers to showcase a new gift theme this holiday season. To honor the mother/daughter bond, they have created matching gift sets as a way to celebrate and capture precious holiday memories.
“We received a letter recently from a customer who recently lost her mother. She described her mother’s Caboodle as a ‘keepsake box of treasured memories’. It truly touched our hearts to think that our product is in some way associated with keeping the memory of her mother alive. It inspired us to create mother/daughter gift match-ups that would pay homage to that special relationship,” stated Steve Schwalie, VP Sales and Marketing.
For over 28 years, Caboodles has grown up alongside its loyal fans – who were once young girls themselves – and now reaches a new generation. In the spirit of creating lasting holiday memories, Caboodles encourages gift givers everywhere to organize a mother/daughter match-up and join in the Caboodles tradition.
Below are four memory-making mother/daughter gift sets:

The name says it all! With a pink patent PVC drawstring closure, adjustable backpack straps and a spacious pink-lined interior, it’s a cute and convenient way to store and tote valuables.
My Thoughts: For this review I received the Envy™ Doctor’s Bag to check out for all of you. I have to admit…I love Caboodles products and have several of them in my craft room to help organize various supplies. This particular bag is fabulous for organizing all of your beauty supplies and cosmetics. It’s great for at-home use or for busy moms like me who do a lot of traveling.
It’s styled like a high-end satchel bag with an outside zipper closure pocket on the front and a second one on the back. It has two carrying straps done in a faux black patent which I really love! To get inside the bag…you enter via the zipper entry that runs along the top. Inside it’s completely lined in a pink & black polka dot fabric.
Once you are inside the bag…that is where the magic happens. There are oodles of different organizing features within this bag! The front inside wall of the bag has a see-thru mesh zipper closure pocket, the back inside wall has 4 small pouch-style pockets which is perfect for holding bottles. Each of the two short ends inside the bag have 4 elastic strap bands to hold various beauty items and make-up brushes. The bag has a flat bottom so it always stands upright.
As you can see…I have the bag loaded with my cosmetic and beauty products and there is still a ton of room still left in the bag. I love all of the organizing features because I can see everything and grab it quickly when I am applying my makeup. In addition, everything is nicely secured while I’m traveling. This bag is so stylish! I love how it looks sitting on my vanity top and when I’m out and about…everyone thinks it’s a designer handbag! It’s fabulous!
I have my eye on several of the new Caboodles designs for myself and for holiday gifts! I’ve always loved this line and now I’m in-love with it even more with this new stylish collection. You can learn more by visiting Caboodles online.

As the seasons change women change out their wardrobes. For me personally, one of the first things I change out is my handbag followed by footwear and then clothing. I find it easier to do the handbag first because weather can be quite “finicky” as the season changes.
When I go shopping for a new handbag I am looking for several things.
1. It has to be functional…meaning that it needs to be large enough to carry all of my “stuff” and have some organizational features built in it.
2. I want it to last more than just a few months so I am looking for high-quality bags that will last me for years. That’s right ladies, it’s an investment!
3. Style. I don’t want my handbag to look like something my 66 year old mother carried in 1960 nor do I want it to look like something a 16 year old would carry today. I want a REAL woman’s handbag!
Let me introduce you to Fricaine who makes high quality fashionable products from globally-sourced exotic fabrics that accentuate the tastes and preferences of their customers. The brand offers a refreshing fashion experience by helping customers make bold fashion statements. The carefully selected lines of very durable handbags employ bright colors, are well-crafted and made from authentic custom fabrics and hardware. Women who carry the handbags exude an exotic and highly fashionable image that perfectly matches and complements their personal style.
The company sent me the FRICAINE PRETTY FACE SHOULDER BAG in red to review for all of you. The body of the bag is made out of cotton jacquard and is trimmed in a micro-fiber leather. I really love that because it makes the bag very light-weight. If it was all leather, it would be a “weighty” bag.
This bag is extremely roomy and I love all of the built-in organizational features. On the outside of the bag there are 2 pouch pockets (on the short ends of the bag) where you can tuck in your cellphone, water bottle, sunglasses or any other items you need quickly. On the back outside of the back is a nice roomy zippered compartment and I like to toss my keys, ID badge etc. in that.
You enter the bag via a top zipper entry and once inside you will find 3 roomy compartments. One of the compartments has 2 reach-in slip pockets for cellphones, glasses, etc. The compartment on the other side has a back-wall zipper closure pocket and in between both of these big compartments is a zipper closure center compartment which I love to toss my cosmetics in. Basically, inside you have 3 large compartments, a back-wall zipper pocket and 2 front-wall slip pockets.
There is a custom-made lining in this bag that easily allows you to see your contents (not a big black hole) and it’s easy to clean. I spilled something in my bag and it wiped clean within seconds thanks to that lining!
The bag has beautiful gold-plated hardware and on the bottom of the bag you will find 5 gold-plated feet. This will help to protect the bottom of your bag from scratches & it helps the bag stay upright when you set it down. This is a shoulder bag but the straps are short enough that you can carry it as a satchel too.
You can use this bag for the business office, during casual weekends and/or as a travel bag. It is really roomy and heck, if you are a stylish momma, you could use it as a diaper bag too! I just love it!!!
