Review done by Bright Design

Bright Design posted this review of our bags on her blog today:

I got my Vegan Samples bag today! And it is the awesomest thing ever!!! First of all, my cool lil' tote bag has a LION on it. Can you believe it? A freakin' lion! How awesome is that? So awesome. The awesomest, even.

OK, then there's the contents. There are so many wonderful smelling things in it that I could smell them before I'd even gotten the box open. Inside, there were an unbelievable number of goodies - in the form both of samples, and of various coupons and special offers to be redeemed when visiting shops on Etsy and elsewhere.

What did the samples consist of? Soaps, earrings, pins, a fancy flower hair clip, a cool cuff, a lovely sachet, a great puppydog postcard, a cool little crocheted thingamabobber... pulling it all out was like digging into the seemingly endless well of a fantastic Magician's hat. Each item elicited a new "ooh" or "aah" or "yummy!" or "pretty!". Who was I talking to? Umm... well, myself. Whatever, you do it too.

For the variety of surprises alone, the bag was so totally worth the price! I'm just sad we have to wait until August for Sample Bag Numero Dos to appear. But never fear, it's already in the works!

Exciting!

Day by day we get closer to the first sample bags going on sale!! Tuesday is the day and we have some really great contributors this round! If you are interested in contributing samples for the next bag, please email me at ecosampler@yahoo.com for more info! We are also looking for the sponsor for the next bag, the cost is $30 (which goes straight to the sanctuary that is voted for that round) and you have your ad up from the day we sell out of this bag, until the day we sell out of the bag you are sponsoring...the second bag goes on sale in august, so that is a few months of exposure for only $30!! And it goes straight to the animals!!! The voting for sanctuaries only has a couple more days left and it is a really close call right now. We are also looking for folks who want to trade ad space on their blogs, websites, etc...please feel free to contact me if you are interested in that at all. I hope everyone is doing well, and I cant wait to get these sample bags in the mail!

Samples are coming!!!

Everyday we go to the po box, and BEHOLD, more samples have arrived. The first round of vegan sample bags is really coming together and everything looks so awesome and unique thus far. Later today I will be sure to put the new arrivals on the "current contributors" blog link and on our website. If you havnt signed up for the forums on our website, please do so. You can post reviews of the bags on there, ask vegan related questions, meet other veg heads and so much more! Please stop by and introduce yourself.

So far we have 10+ crafters/artists signed up to send in promotional samples for these bags!  How exciting!  Please feel free to check out the folks with ads to the right, all of those people are sending in promo items for our first vegan sample bag!!!!!

So, what is next?  Well I need to get my bootie movin and start sewing all of the reusable grocery bags together, and getting them ready!  We are hoping to have enough samples for 50 bags the first time around, so that means I have some sewing on my hands.  

What else could you ask for, all vegan samples from many different shops, and to top it off a nice reusable grocery tote!

Thats all the update I have for now

Everyone who sends in samples will also be put on our top friends on myspace to gain exposure that way too!!  Email me with any questions.
