Gift idea #5. SWOOP BAGS
Here’s our top find for 2011. Any LEGO enthusiast on your shopping list will appreciate the utter genius of the Swoop Bag, and think that you’re the bee’s knees for giving them such a useful and practical gift.

This sturdily designed cotton canvas bag opens up and lays flat so you can see your entire brick collection (or whatever toys you want) at a glance – and packing up is a cinch. Just pull on the drawstring handles and store the bag away for another day.
