Okay, so I am eating my Reeses Pieces cereal….yes I like cartoons as well…..and someone emails me a link to what they believe to be the perfect gift for forgetfull women, me in particular. It is called the Lady Bag and it scans your contents to make sure you have not forgotten anything prior to leaving the house. Evidently the owner of said purse is to insert RFID tags into their stuff and when one of the taged items is missing the purse will light up to show that something is amiss…..hmmmmm.

While I applaud the creativity of the six women inventors behind the ‘tag bag’, I need to question its validity. Unless this was given to me as a complete joke gift, I would quickly retaliate with a talking tie. It is a plastic looking white bag with a giant heart that will light up when it wants something! If I am prone to forgeting things, then I probably don’t know where the missing tagged article is in the first place and then I am stuck with a barbie heart neon bag from hell. No thank you. Plus, why would I want to give my significant other the fuel to tease me even more about my ebbing memory ? I can just hear it now…” Awwww, look you forgot something! That is soooo cute. Wasn’t that bag a great idea?” This coupled with a man’s testimonial of ” My wife needs this, if it comes in flourescent yellow and pink it will sell like hot cakes.” Makes it another hat with hair extentions gift you get from Sanfran…
Keep the bag, I will stick to my ” Hey hon, have you seen my wallet?”
