Rubber Chicken Hen Tote Bag Handbag Purse Pocketbook "Henbag"

If you know a woman with an important birthday looming and you're stumped for a present, this rubber chicken handbag could be your solution. Of course, this is assuming your friend has a good sense of humor and she hasn't expressed a need or desire for something else.

So often when faced with a birthday -- especially a birthday that ends in "0" -- we want to give something, even when we've been told "no presents." This chicken bag, known as a "henbag," can be filled with special creams and lotions or treats she would appreciate, so you can get the laugh yet still give something that shows you care.

The bag comes in two different sizes -- 10" x 7.5" and 12" x 8". It is made from a durable rubber material with nylon handles and a nylon bottom..

You can also get a change purse in the same rubber chicken style, though some people have reported that the opening is too small to be practical. I suppose if you have very small fingers or if you don't mind tipping the purse upside down to get your coins, then the change purse would be a fun addition.

Rubber Chick (Chicken) Coin Purse Pouch / Case / Wallet with Zipper

The opening is rather small on this purse, which makes it not the most practical of coin purses. However, you can turn it upside down to shake the coins out.

I originally included a coin purse in this spot that was identical to the henbag, but this chick one is even cuter, especially as you can imagine the relationship that could develop between the two bags.

I'm left wondering, though -- what about the egg? Don't chicks hatch from an egg laid by the hen first? Yet this little cutie is just sitting fully formed inside the hen, waiting for you to retrieve it. This could get confusing.

Is there any chance you would use one?

Is there any chance you'd give one as a gift?

Can you think of any appropriate names for your henbag?

Is carrying one on a trip to town any weirder than dying your hair purple or wearing tattered jeans or a tongue ring?

Is weirdness less acceptable when your hair turns gray?
