PackIt Freeze + Go Bag (for lunches, bottles, & beyond)

As a busy mommy of 5, I am all about clever items that can make life a bit easier and the PackIt Bag recently sent to me for review is one of those items.  It looks a bit like your typical lunch sack style bag, but it's function goes beyond that.

The PackIt is a reusable bag with a built in earth friendly gel in the lining that can be conveniently be compactly stored right in the freezer and used as needed. Once removed from the freezer, unfolded,  and packed with your items; the PackIt can keep things cool for an impressive 10 hours.  I love how this eliminated the need for drippy ice cubes or those rather toxic packs to keep my things cold.  The PackIt kept our items cold but free from dampness, no sweat or moisture occurred as the day progressed.  It's even PVC and lead free.

It can be used for keeping your child's lunch cool, bringing a dish to an event, and even for transporting multiple baby bottles.  Yes, baby bottles!  Oh how I wish I had one of these back when my now 2 year old twins were infants.  This makes my past baby bottle carriers look completely archaic.

Live in a warm climate?  Snatch up a few of these for use as Halloween treat bags and protect those yummy Hershey's kisses and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups from melting in the heat.
