It's official, I am melting in this sweltering heat! But I haven't lost all hope. I found something that can at least keep important items from melting...the IcyBag.The IcyBag is a perfect bag to can keep makeup, medicine, sunscreen or snacks (just to name a few things) cool. The IcyBag is fully insulated and comes with a freezer gel pack so that its contents won't melt. And it's small enough to fit inside your baby or beach bag. It is perfect for beach days, golfing and family day trips. It comes in three different color options, including all black (shown below), which would be a great gift even for the macho-est man in your life.
And have no fear, the freezer gel pack is only 3 ounces so it is approved to carry on to an airplane. (How do I know this? I contacted the maker of the IcyBag and they responded within minutes to let me know it was safe to carry on. Now that is customer service!)
And lucky, lucky you! Thanks to the maker of the IcyBag, (2) lucky Houses, Couches and Babies readers will win an IcyBag.
Here's how to enter:
- Check out the IcyBag website and post a comment right here telling us what feature you like best about the IcyBag.

This would be perfect for the one emergency bottle of milk I carry for my 6 week old son and it would fit perfectly in my diaper bag.

This would be so easy to handle .

During Summer break my 7 year old and I spend most days at the park so the feature I like the best is that it will keep my makeup nice and cool all day long.

I love the style, the gel packs that help keep everything cool and the sturdiness of the bags.
Great giveaway!!!!
I am sorry, I forgot to add where I live...got excited about writing in the post that I forgot one important piece of information. This is not a push for an extra entry by any means.

I like that the gel pack is built right into it so there won't be any leaking and dripping. It's about time! Plus the colors make it so stylish and fun.

I like that they are small and practical
What a great idea this is. I would love this for my makeup on trips, for my kids snacks and for medicines. Thank you so much for offering this giveaway.
Id love to win this, this is a very clever bag and will get a lot of use
It's more convenient than traditional separate freezer packs.
I like that you can take it ona plane!
egreca (at) hotmail {dot} com
wow this would sure help keep cold things cold. The temperatures were in the 90s today and it would help keep juice, milk, and snacks cold.
This would be perfect for keeping juice boxes and sippy cups cool in my diaper bag this summer. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!
This would be great for keeping insulin chilled on hot Texas summer days.
I have to use medicated eye drops that require medication, and I can't tell you how much of a pain they can be to haul around without taking up a bigger cooler - one with massive amounts of extra room... so this bag is absolutely PERFECT!

The size for this little bag is perfect. I spend a lot of time outdoors or with my gear in my car. This will protect makeup, lotions, and medicines.
#1 Its brilliant
#2 Sammiches & drinks stay cool
#3 I could wear it upside down on my head if I were desperately hot and in no need of following fashion trends.
nancyrobster@gmail.com
This is definitely a GREAT idea! I never thought of it before - but this would be great for my little one's medicine.
I love the fact that they can go anywhere- on an airplane, to the store as a diaper bag, to the zoo for snacks, etc.
It's really important too keep your sunscreen from getting too hot, so this would work great in the summer to use in the car!
triciacus76@yahoo.com
Best feature? Flexible icepack in a pouch!
Enter me, please.

IcyBag keeps your items cool and protected is the best feature.
can be carried into an airplane - that's the most useful feature! very handy in our summer-all-year-round country ;)

As a mom of two young children, I am constantly carrying around juice, snacks, etc. However, the complaint is always that their juice, cheese stick, whatever the snack may be is "not cold enough..." The icybag would be the perfect solution -- as it keeps things cooler. Plus, it comes in cute colors!!
This bag is an act of genius. Even if I don't win, I think it just solved my sister's birthday present problem. She's diabetic and has to fly. This is a brilliant solution.
I'd use it for snacks on car rides.
Great idea!
digicat@sbcglobal.net
Thats awesome! I would use this to store my allergy medication when I have to fly internationally. Its always a pain to ask them to refrigerate it for me. Thank you!

I like the fact that the gel pack stays frozen over 3 X longer than plain ice.

I like the tethered storage pouch for the ice pack. Won't get stuff wet or get lost at the bottom.
I love the Gel pack that is included. This is a great idea. What a relief from melted crayons,candies, and also keeping things like milk and fruit cool!
My favorite feature is the light weight :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!
ols[dot]moonmaiden[at]gmail[dot]com
This would be great for snacks. I hate paying "snack bar" prices!
Just the right size for those smaller things that don't like heat!
I've had bags get stained from my carrying things that have spilled or just seeped

This would be great for snacks - nothing lasts long in 110+ temperatures!
This would be handy for so many things. I live in Florida so we have warm to hot weather most of the time.
It's full insulation feature would be an edge over other brands. And it's size is perfect to store travel essentials.

What a neat idea.
the feature I like the best is that the gel pack is approved for airline use! Very convenient and useful for the hot CA sun here!!
what a great product. i bet it would work to stop a lighter from exploding in the heat. plus nothing worse than having a candy bar melt away.
What I like best about it is "no more mess". No more melted snacks, no more melted crayons etc...Its a great product that everyone could find useful.
I like that it's small enough to fit in your beach or diaper bag. It would be great for taking a bottle to the beach and keep your drinks cool too. Thanks for sharing!

This would be great to keep my daughter's insulin cool in the summer when we're out and about! I love it!
I like the fact that it can go on airplanes,no excuse for son and daughter in law not to make the 1200 mile trip to Florida. Also another great feature is that it keeps items colder longer. My daughter in law is expecting their first child. and going to be breast feeding, with this she can pump, use the quick seal bags with a food bag sealer, then put in the icybag. Icybag will hold enough bags of milk to feed the baby for a few meals. Will make traveling and feeding baby more easier and comfortable for my son and daughter in law.
Thank you for a chance to win thia much needed item.

Now that my son is old enough,
(10), his new job is mowing the lawn. He also started mowing Nana's lawn, a real paying job! He is so proud of himself and when my husband takes him over there to "work", I send him off with a cold drink and a cool snack, so this thing would be perfect!!!
It would be great for keeping my makeup cool on the hot summer days.

Its extremely versatile - go anywhere, for anything bag. Its available in 3 different colors too.

I love the idea of keeping medicine cool. I have alot to carry around. These bags are great for everything, and perfect for the hot, steamy summers on the south Texas coast.
This is great! Why didn't anyone think about this before?! Where I grew up everything melts all year round whether its in your car, lying around the house or when your're on the go. Simple but good stuff!
jaydonco1 (at) aol (dot) com
I love that I can take my make-up along and leave it in the car and still keep it cool!
It is fashion forward.

I need one of these for my road trips on the harley. It would fit on my luggage rack and I could keep water and other essentials cool.
I like that it has a reuseable freezer pack and is big enough to hold my make up.
I like to be able to bring my own low fat snacks when I travel so this would be great. thanks!

I like that it keeps sunblock from heating up. Being more skin care conscious, I find this to be a very important feature!
I like the compact size and it looks very stylish.
I love that it can be taken on planes!
we have a nice lunch box that's insulated but when we bought it, it was missing the ice thing to keep it cold. This would be perfect!
I like that there's lots of colors to choose from. It being water resistant is also a big plus.
I like that it looks like it can keep things cool without becoming a drippy, soggy mess!
ah the perfect little size. Hope to win, ty
I think it's great that you can take it on a plane. Thanks for the contest.
It's a great size for traveling and it's very affordable.

I like the convenient size and stylish appeal. Very COOL!
I like that it can keep your drinks cool while you're out in the hot sun.
I like all the color combos it comes in!
Sean from Davis, Ca, USA
i like that it's actually nice looking, with most cooling bags it's so ugly, i wouldn't mind being seen rummaging for a chocolate bar in one of these
This would be great for our trips to the beach! We live just a few blocks away and this could fit nicely in the stroller
I like the compact size. garrettsambo@aol.com
I LOVE THAT IT HAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY DIFFERENT USES..what a great product :)
great for the beach to keep gloss, sunscreen and water cool. Love it

The best part of this bag is that it is so darn cute. I always get teased for choosing fashion over function so this way I get both!
LOVE the built in gelpack
I like that it can keep things cool and be an easy to carry bag
What's not to like? It's cute, functional and I can keep what I need to keep cool- the fact that I can take it on the plane is a bonus since we love to galavant. ;)
My daughter is taking swim lessons and this would be perfect to my 2 year olds drinks and snacks in. This seems like a wonderful bag. Thanks for the chance to win it!
The bag is so cute! I would love to win this bag for my husband because he says he brings his sunscreen with him to play golf but then "it gets gross" because it gets too hot and he comes home with a torched neck!
Tracey

this is wonderful to keep lip balm from melting all over your hot car
This would be perfect for protecting my sons medicines on those hot summer days. Please and thankyou.
I like the fact that they are 6x8 that is a pretty nice sized bag, without being hugely bulky
Oh I love the idea of using it for the beach so that your lotions, etc don't melt. I have had chapstick, vaseline etc melt & it is not fun!
Love this for the hot summers and high humidity to have in my care for snacks and hydration in the car since I work for home health in Ms. Thanks SW
My mother uses Rx eye drops that must be refrigerated. She needs to have them handy, so this would be perfect for her outings plus she could carry a snack along too! Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh this is so perfect! Hubby *forces* me to ride with him on his Harley and then he says" No, we cannot stop for a drink, we must go on". HA! I would love it to keep cold, cold drinks in (and my lipstick that wouldn't melt!!!) and I would even share the drink, I guess.
I can think of so many uses for this, great product! I travel a lot for work and this would be great to keep medication in, to keep makeup from melting in, drinks, snacks, you name it-I love it!
this looks perfect for traveling! and it's not ugly and bulky.
My favorite feature is its size! Just right to carry along on hikes, trips, etc. with snacks in it! Great idea!
Its just the right size for those emergency bottles of milk and juice for traveling!
