Tom Bihn Winners

Posted on | April 16, 2010 | 2 Comments

The winner of the Tom Bihn Passport Pouch is Tara (commenter 27).

Tara’s favorite Tom Bihn accessory: “probably the shop bag (though the knitting bags are awesome and would probably get me to pull my needles back out after a long knitting hiatus!). I like the passport case above…for a passport and travel documents, it makes lots of sense.”

And her ideal trip: “Spain. For the 6th time. I can’t get enough.”

The winner of the Tom Bihn 3D Clear Organizer Cube is Marjorie (commenter 267).

Marjorie’s favorite Tom Bihn accessory: “the large packing cube.”

And her ideal trip: “I would love to travel to Greece, Italy or Spain. I’ve never been to that side of the world.”

Congratulations Tara and Marjorie!

Be sure to check back later today for yet another great Friday giveaway!!

As promised, it’s time for another Tom Bihn giveaway! As you can tell from our various posts gushing over our Aeronauts and accessories, we love this company and their products!

We consider the Aeronaut a must-buy for academic and professional travels of all kinds – from the weekend conference to the year-long research trip, but it also makes for a great vacation bag whether your heading to visit in-laws for the weekend or to Europe for ten days. In addition to this amazing carry-on bag, we are also huge fans of all of their travel accessories from packing-cubes to organizer-pouches. These incredible little items will certainly enhance any packing experience.

So, we are giving away two fabulous accessories…

The Tom Bihn 3D Clear Organizer Cube in purple, which is fantastic for small toiletries, jewelry, or plane snacks:

And, the Tom Bihn Passport Pouch in Solar.

For a chance to win, visit Tom Bihn and check out all the great accessories they have to offer, then leave us a comment letting us know which is your favorite and which giveaway item you prefer. For a second chance to win, leave us an additional comment telling us your ideal travel location.

This giveaway will be until midnight CST on Thursday, April 15th. We will randomly select and announce two winners on Friday, April 16th. Good Luck!
