i held a twitter party to discuss hot topics for Mother’s Day recently in New York and invited izzibag

along to review his chosen gifts. I get really confused because of course in the UK Mother’s Day is in March, in the USA it is in May and in Turkey it is in August, I guess if I was really clever I could be in all three countries in those months and then I get 3 gifts and three cards. I could be like the Queen with her 3 birthdays, ok ok i realise that is not quite the same thing.

So the gifts that were my favorites are these, starting with the

, made from 100% bio-degradable parts and is not only Uber stylish but it’s good for the earth too. Made from Bamboo, cotton and clear plastic. I have stopped traffic in New York since I got this and it comes in a lovely carry holdall too. My husband says I look like  a Ninja Turtle carrying it, but believe me it keeps me dry.

Of course every girl needs a tote bag for shopping, now normally I would only talk about izzi bag’s as you know but I have to tell you that this bag by Marimekko for Avon is a little hard to ignore. 100% of the net profits from the sales will go to Avon’s breast cancer crusade and that means a lot to me. So go check them out and on this occasion and this one only I am allowing you to buy another label hahahaha.

Now here is an accessory that I can endorse wholeheartedly a clipa, this is a handbag hanger and will extend the life of your handbag, preserving the bottom from the horrid grubby floors of restaurants and pavements. The clipa comes in over a dozen finishes and can be clipped onto the handle of your handbag so that you never have to rummage through your bag to find it.They are really sturdy and designed to hold the heaviest of handbags.

I have to say that the gifts that Robert had chosen to talk about were all really lovely and Karen and Debbie from the Accessories council were very busy with me tweeting away about them all during the evening.

I was quite sad when the evening was over, as you all know I love tweeting and I had a great evening with Robert Verdi, I hope that we gave all the tweeter followers around the world an idea for their mom’s gift if they were stuck.I look forward to the next one, I hope it is for Father’s day my husband will be pleased!!
