The Gift of Holiday Giving 2012

by Nicole Dorsey Straff

Sometimes receiving is so much better than giving, well, sorry, sometimes it just  is. In my big fluffy red stocking this year? InLite’s sexy messenger bag, backpacks and handbags boast a patent-pending interior light-up system designed to illuminate with the touch of a button.

In this the season of giving and gratitude, I no longer have a reason to hover, searching fruitlessly for my keys, in a busy mini-mall this season in Los Angeles. Merry Christmas, one and all. That’s one rule for safety first: Get in and out of your car quickly and be alert in front of stores this season.

Nifty In-Lite bags are installed with low-emission LED lighting strips powered by AAA batteries.  The revolutionary, patent-pending technology is activated and turned off by pressing the signature logo button, which also features an automatic energy saving timer. “Inlite Bags are for anyone who is constantly frustrated by searching through dark purses and bags to find their things”, said Inlite President Shannon Kelly, a Columbia University fashion graduate.

In addition to handbags and clutches, the Flash Backpack and Beacon Messenger come with padded laptop compartments and LED strips that light up two main compartments at the same time. The Selene Womens Handbag is  large enough to carry items from day to night; prices range from $75 to $95.
