Between wearing waist bags, man purses, bum bags, cross body bags, and fanny packs, the accessory of the season may be the thing that holds most of our accessories. Today we carry everything from hand-sanitizer and extra face masks to our usual cell phones, wallets, and sunglasses.

Gifting could be a done deal if you are gifting to someone who is juggling their life, or if you are the one in the circus. Cross-body bags of any kind can be a seamlessly additional piece of flare or a muted sartorial detail for your daily look. A simple look to pull off, fanny packs are not as innocuous of a wearable as one could argue a backpack or one of your 27 tote bags. 

Besides looking like a hypebeast or trend hack, you could look effortlessly cool in a cross-body bag while reaping some of the hands-free benefits of convenience and peace of mind in having one. Gift-giving is about the thought, and with a cool carrying case or booty bag, you will avoid the thoughts of misplacing any personals.

Settle your anxiety and worry less. Here is a list of the great waist and cross-body bags you can mull over for your gift exchanges.
