More Lug Nuts on the Loose!

Look at these adorable little Lug Nuts. They're snug as a bug in a rug, cuddled in their colorful Under Cover Bears. Or are they Nap Sacs? Either way, these cute kiddos sure look comfortable! Thanks for sending in the pic, Mom.

We love Lug Nut pictures! Keep 'em comin'!

Lug Nut Alert!

How great is this picture? That's a rhetorical question, but if you need an answer, it's REALLY GREAT! This pic comes to us from an office where there are clearly some Lug Nuts running wild. Looks like they're big fans of the Freight Box Lunch Cube, and we are too. But as I sit here, only an hour before noon, the more important question may be, what's for lunch? *tummy growling*

We love posting fan pics, so keep 'em coming, all you Lug Nuts out there!

Lug Love Times Two

We've been getting a lot of Lug love in the past few days, and we love spreading the love right back at ya!

First, thanks Laptop Mag for your awesome coverage of our Echo Laptop Backpack. Per the story:

The Echo isn’t much larger than most backpacks, but the sheer number of storage options, along with solid build quality, makes it a great bag for any situation.

So glad you noticed our supreme attention to organizational excellence, Laptop Mag.

Second, thanks Gadling for your excellent review of our cute and cosy Undercover Bears. Per the story:

Last year, we crowned the Lug SNUZSAC as one of the best travel products of 2009 - and it really is a fantastic travel product, offering a blanket and pillow in a single carry-on. And now the brains behind Lug just announced a kids version of the SNUZSAC ... called Undercover Bears. ... [I]f you pick the purple Undercover Bear, you'll be best friends with Agent Pufferton. This agent enjoys plum pudding and covers you with spirit and hope. How awesome is that?

Pretty awesome, Gadling. Pretty awesome.

Thanks for all the Lug love out there!

Help Your Kid Heart School

Sometimes heading back to school can be a little nerve-wracking for an anxious kiddo. But a little heart—like the Travel Charm, Heart Shape Tag—can go a long way. Just attach the charm to any book bag (like this one, maybe), and each day slip a note of encouragement into the ID pouch. A few words of love and support brighten any day.

The Puddle Jumper: It's Gym Rat-tastic!

That's right. If you're in the market for a great gym bag or a tote to throw your sports gear in, the Puddle Jumper is a perfect fit. First, the size is just right. Not to big and not too small, it'll squeeze into a gym locker but it still has plenty of space for all the essentials, including a change of clothes. Second, there's this smart little ventilated compartment in the back, which stashes shoes or soiled clothes separately from the rest of the stuff in your bag. Third, it's made with water repellant fabric that keeps it looking like new. All in all, this bag is ... well, it's gym rat-tastic!

Color Theory Thursday: Ravishing Red

If you love Lug, you know we like to "live life in color," and we hope you do too. Color Theory Thursday is where we learn what that hue says about you.

RED

The color of love, passion, strength, and prosperity. It's not a color for wallflowers, that's for sure. It's a bold color, meant to stand out in a crowd. Wear it with pink (pictured) or yellow if it's harmony you're after, or pair it with cool colors, like blue or green, for contrast.

Your Big Back-To-School Break

Remember when we told you about the awesome Echo Laptop Backpack? Yeah. It's an awesome bag for back-to-school. Well, we've got some good news for ya! Spend $85 or more ordering it or any other back-to-school bags and accessories before August 31 and get 15 percent off! Just use the code BK2SKOOL. And don't forget: Be cool; stay in school.
