Definitely a present for the girls. This funky bag appeared in the paper last week and I thought it was a great idea for you creative types.

What you get is a plain see through bag, then comes the magic when you can transform that plain old shopper into a beautiful customised holdall.

The Clippy Kit PVC accessories idea has recently been nominated as a finalist for Gift of the Year 2007. This see-through PVC bag has a set of pockets covering the whole of the exterior which allows you to decorate your bag as much or as little as you want.

Add your own photos, postcards or the works of art your child has produced at school that week. Decorate with pom-poms, ribbons, bows and bangles in fact anything that takes your fancy.

You can also buy pictures and other crafty bits to jazz it up, even decorate the inside with inner bag linings that come in a kitsch spotty design, or glam it up with sparkly silver or glorious gold.

Clippy Kit puts the funk into functional. Get a variety of gifts like pencil cases, book covers and folders, table mats (known as table mates), make-up bags, wash bags and even lampshades – all of which can be made into your very own work of art.

This craft idea reminds me of the Walbum – a similar notion whereby you have a hanging plastic photo album with clear pockets to display your pics on your wall.

You can buy this medium sized bag online from the Clippy Kit shop for £28
