low tech at it's best!!! Old school mechanical top that will fascinate young and old alike... all by the interaction of 3 colored disks.... I don't know if it's more fun watching the kids play with it or watching the adults as they figure out how it works. No batteries required - it's a good old mechanical toy!

Collapsible Compartment Carryall

Description

this is almost the perfect tote - I'm not sure what would make it more perfect. I was skeptical when i ordered it, particularly since the price is so low (currently less than $20), but it delivers as promised. It is sturdy, a perfect size for carrying several bottles of wine plus snacks. And, the bottle slots are even large enough for champagne bottles! The included picnic kit also great.

Here's what the website says:

Collapsible Compartment Carryall
Innovative flat-pack tote opens wide to reveal compartments that hold up to six wine bottles, glassware, reading material and a bite to eat. Front pocket has a picnic kit for two, including cutting boards, knife/fork sets and a corkscrew/bottle opener. Made of heavy-gauge polyester canvas for easy care. Imported.

Colors: Carrot (shown), Red, Black, Lime, Teal.

Opens to 10½" H x 10½" W x 11½" D
