But even with 101 gift suggestions, I’m here to tell you about one specific deal that made my girlfriend’s heart melt and already scored some big points for me this holiday season, and that’s the Baboon To The Moon Sling Bag. I can almost guarantee that she will do the same for your partner, or even a close family member who needs a few extra pockets.
Best of all? While this gift is relatively inexpensive, it has the feel and quality of something that should cost a lot more.

The Baboon To The Moon Sling Bag is stylish, comfortable, durable, and just plain cute. This bag is a quick replacement for a clunkier bag and is perfect for that special someone to hold all their essentials for quick trips to the store or an extended night out.
In terms of utility, this bag does it all. Constructed from water-repellent ballistic nylon, it comes with an exterior zippered pocket, a phone pouch on the back, and the main zippered top pocket that has layered mesh-lined pockets and a carabiner for keys. On a recent trip to the park, my girlfriend easily fit her phone, her wallet, a pair of sunglasses, lipstick, a pack of gum, moisturizer, AirPods, her keys, and a stick of lip liner into this little sling. .
My girlfriend has been absolutely loving this bag in Core-Orange (her favorite), but there are other trendy color options to choose from in classic black, blue, purple, and red. To say that she was surprised when she opened it would be an understatement, as it seemed to be considerably over the limit we gave ourselves for Christmas gifts (due to our December anniversary).
When you gift this sling, you’ll get a practical, sustainable and incredibly well-crafted bag at a fraction of what similar sling bags normally cost. Also, did I mention it has a lifetime warranty? We typically only see warranties come with products that are virtually indestructible, so you can be sure you’re getting a quality product when you hit the buy button.
An added benefit of gifting your lady with a handbag is that it allows you to fit a host of other smaller gifts inside all the nooks and crannies to really take it to the next level. It could also be the perfect container to sneak in that big budget item you bought her and could lead to a really lovely surprise. If you need help finding that something special, check out SPY’s More than 75 Christmas gifts that will always knock it out of the park.
My only warning about the Baboon To The Moon Sling Bag is that they are likely to run out of popular colors. Luckily, if you’re looking to get it in time for Christmas, you should rest easy as I received mine two days after ordering at my Brooklyn apartment.
