Gutzy Gear is a new and unique way for kids to express themselves by transforming a simple backpack into their own statement-making personality pack! The Gutzy Gear strap covers fit around just about any type of backpack, messenger bag, or rolling bag. But the creativity really begins with the fun and totally custom line of patches called “Gutzies” that kids use to decorate their straps. Because they are removable with a simple tug, and require no sewing or ironing, Gutzies are meant to be swapped, traded, and shared between friends, for a custom look anytime that’s as endless as your child’s imagination.

Visit www.gutzygear.com to view patches, see how it works and even purchase online. You can find Gutzy Gear in Atlanta at Bed, Bath and Beyond: 130 Perimeter Center West, Atlanta, GA 30346. More locations to come!

Drew has two patches courtesy of Gutzy Gear that are perfectly appropriate - My Dog Ate My Homework and Bad To the Bone. Of course, you could go with something much prettier, like a heart or beach bum sandal!

BOGO OFFER:
If you purchase a package of Gutzies (retail price of 3.99-5.99) you can receive an exclusive Gutzy Gear patch that is not available in stores. All you have to do is either send a copy of the receipt or a photograph of your child showing off the product. So basically if you add to your collection, Gutzy Gear will add to it as well!
