Put a letter on it with a Jana Feifer custom tote
As we moms know, when your belly and butt are often times growing and shrinking thanks to your kiddos (not just me, right?), handbags and purses are the one thing that will always fit.

Well, at least that's the rationale I'm using to snatch up one of these gorgeous custom totes.  I'm not generally one to wear my name or initials, but for the Letters for Literacy tote by Jana Feifer I will make an exception. Known for her gorgeous color-blocked leather totes and hobo bags that even scored a place on Oprah's Favorite Things List, Jana took a hiatus from designing to battle skin cancer.

She's now returned with an amazing collection of custom handbags  that also helps support an amazing cause: 10% of the purchase of these stylish canvas, leather-trimmed, personalized bags supports UNESCO's Literacy Initiative for Empowerment (LIFE), an organization dedicated to promoting adult literacy around the world. 

The bags are stylish and roomy, and perfect for even those of us who shy away from the whole monogram trend. And I couldn't think of a cooler holiday gift, for yourself or someone else. For such a worthy cause, it's almost your duty to snag one. Ha. -Kristen 
SUPER DEAL ALERT: You can snatch up a Jana Feifer Letters for Literacy tote at 60% off through 9/20 on Daily Candy Deals if you're a member, or anytime on the Jana Feifer website
