2nd Blogoversary Celebration: Kolobags Laptop Tote Giveaway [CLOSED]

laptop tote contestMarch 7th, 2010 marks 3 Garnets & 2 Sapphires' 2nd Blogoversary!

To celebrate, I have partnered with Kolobags to offer my blog readers something especially useful to bloggers . . . a laptop tote! One lucky reader will walk away with one by entering the contest below.

Whether you have a monster of a laptop like mine or a little netbook, you need to protect your computer. Buying a laptop bag is almost like buying a car. There are so many choices out there for styles and colors, not to mention the features offered by each bag inside and out. Also much like a car, we want the bag to protect the precious cargo it transports.

If you are fashion-conscious, then you will be happy to know that you have options beyond laptop messenger bags, backpacks, and briefcases. If you want to use your own beloved bag and it is roomy enough to house your notebook computer, then you could opt for a laptop sleeve to help buffer your notebook against impact. These sleeves fit laptops with 10" to 17" screens and come in a variety of patterns to fit your personal taste.

The other option is to trade in your handbag for a fashionable, but functional laptop tote. Laptop totes are laptop bags in disguise. You cannot tell they are meant to house a notebook computer until you look inside. I personally would choose one that is roomy enough to throw a clutch bag into or has lots of pockets for your mobile phone and other essentials.

The selection of products offered by Kolobags is not limited to laptop bags, but also includes luggage, camera and iPod cases, diaper bags, and more. Through the end of March 2010, you can save 10% off your Kolobags order when you checkout with Code: garnets10. If your order totals over $50, then it ships for free within the continental U.S.

To keep up with the latest products and promotions from Kolobags, you can follow Kolobags on Twitter and fan Kolobags on Facebook. Kolobags does one monthly drawing each for their Twitter followers and their Facebook fans. The two monthly prizes are $20 gift certificates to shop with on Kolobags! So what are you waiting for?


Later this month, look for my review of this Mobile Edge 17" Laptop Tote. I had come to realize that my widescreen laptop's dimensions were on the large side, but I was very impressed that Kolobags still had several options for me to choose from in just the laptop tote category alone.
