My name is Jen and I am a technology anorak.

Yes, that is what my husband calls me, 'the anorak'. But, you know, I am proud of it. I was feeling the need for a new gadget recently. There wasn't anything taking my fancy but the compulsion remained. After a few days thought I bought Firstborn a netbook because I was fed up having to share my lovely laptop (No Sticky Fingers). To be fair to the child he had saved up some money and paid for half the cost. He got a netbook and I got my technology fix so everyone is happy.


Enter Bags of Love. I have never, ever, reviewed anything on this blog. Really the only thing that would interest me is something technology related and that opportunity has never come up. But Bags of Love came oh so close, with a technology accessory that I couldn't resist. The offered me a personalised laptop bag to review, with my own choice of design on it. All I had to do was send them the picture/photo and they did the rest. Look at this happy face:

I'll be honest here and say I didn't know what to expect. The emails swapped back and forth were very friendly and helpful. Through a lack of knowledge on my part I hadn't sent a picture with enough dpi/resolution and the team explained it to me, suggested ways to fix it and also what to watch for when choosing another photo. The quality of the bag itself is great, really sturdy. The decorated sides of the bag are neoprene and there is a strong canvas bottom and sides. There isn't even a thread hanging out it is finished so well.  Overall I was, genuinely, very impressed and I now must add a new compulsion to my anorak status, technology accessories.

They do a photo canvas that I am very interested in. We have just built a new room onto the back of the house and we have a lot of wall space. I would love to get a nice canvas of the three children up on the wall. It is something I will definitely bear in mind once I manage to get a good photo of the three of them (autistic children tend not to like their photograps being taken and HRH is no exception, but I can try!!) They also do anniversary gifts and  have a photo montage service available too.









I did not recieve any payment for this review but I did get to keep the item sent to us.
