It was a perfect alternative for a gift bag because it’s reusable so like getting 2 gifts.I got this for my friend who loves cacti and shopping with reusable bags. She loved the bag. The print is perfect for this who love cacti. It is a little smaller than I wanted to be and not the most durable and sturdy. You get what you paid for.I always forget my reusable bags when I go to the grocery store. But since receiving this bag I haven’t had to worry- it fits everything, it’s very durable, looks great and easy to fold up and throw back in your purse when you’re done. Now I never forget my reusable bag, because it’s always with me!I highly recommend these. I carry one in my purse, and when I pull it out in stores, I usually get compliments from clerks. It holds more than you think, and while I can't fold it up as neatly as it looked when it first arrived, it's easy enough to do and doesn't take up much space.I love this easy to store afterwards wish is was a little bigger thoughI bought it for a $5 gift exchange, and ended up keeping it. I keep it in my purse for when I'm shopping.I love this bag! It’s folds up easily, it’s lightweight but hold a ton of items!now that I have to bring my own bags to all stores when I shop, it's convenient to have a compact bag in my purse
