Charitable Gift Giving

Ladies (and guys with “man-bags”), here’s one of those great ideas that you wonder what you ever did without.

It’s an age-old question: what do you do with your purse when you go to a restaurant? Keep it in your lap all evening? Put it on the floor and risk getting it dirty or worse, stolen?

The folks at PursePal came up with this interesting little gadget that lets you actually hang your purse from the table, so it’s out of the way all evening, but never out of sight. You can get it for big bags or smaller bags. And with this particular design, a portion of your payment goes to the North Shore Animal League, an no-kill pet rescue and adoption organization on Long Island. The PursePal is available straight from the manufacturer’s Web site. PursePals are also available with special designs in support of conservation, cancer research, and more great causes.
