Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Doughnut Macaroon Iceberg Backpacks: The Ultimate Kids' Backpacks Collection by Ginny Gregory

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The holy grail of backpacks!

Ahhh! I love it! I love him so ridiculous! I usually go for blue and pink when I buy a sachet, but for my 16L donut macaroons I had to go for it in green tea: the color is reminiscent of the delicious avocados that happen to be the subject of my art supplies. and it's all in the bag itself. (I might have liked my mini donut better if it was the same color!) I bought the mini and was disappointed with how it looked on me and what it could carry. It felt the same. SMALL. After using it as a daily car during a short vacation, I found that the straps were uncomfortable even on long walks. So after my trip I decided I would upgrade. and I'm so glad I did! This backpack is perfect. It stands on its own when partially filled. The color is so beautiful! My previous experiences with the mini donut already told me what to expect from it: a durable material that will stand up to the sharpest enamel pens, reflect rain back where it's coming from, and plenty of pockets. but more! There are two pouches inside which I think expands to fit a water bottle, although admittedly I haven't tried that. I know external pockets definitely don't do that, but that's fine: I use mine to keep a fan in one and a washcloth in the other on hot days. (Every traveler should have a towel, right?) I currently keep my art supplies in my lunch bag, and it fits perfectly in this backpack, which has plenty of room at the top for other items like toiletries, snacks, wallet, etc. on the back, next to the bag I keep my iPad mini in a keyboard case, some pencil slates and a grid - it's with my portable battery and any wired items I'll be carrying that day, plus any art references I might have wanted to lug around. For the inside pockets, I just carry a packet of tissues and some SPF lip balm just in case. But I just received the bag and I'm still trying to figure out what to put in it! Personally, I wouldn't use it as an everyday bag. It's a bit awkward for a human and can leave you feeling overwhelmed during the day, which nobody needs. I think the Mini is the best option for a day trip to an amusement park or when you don't want to carry a handbag. But as a task bag I think these are great: use it as a creative bag, as a camera bag, as a small personal item on a flight to carry your essentials, as a portable work bag, the list goes on. ! It's big enough to hold your supplies and daily necessities. The only oddity are the straps. I still haven't figured out what to do with them. Good that you can zip them on, but what if the bag is tailored to your shape and they no longer reach the buttons? Hm. Any ideas are welcome!
