Tea Wallets: Our Best Selling Item

The travel tea wallet collection is our best seller over at the Two Bees Creations etsy store.  But how did it get to be that way, and what is the draw to these items?  Well, we first  had the idea of making tea wallets for the shop because there are so many people in our lives who drink tea!  A few years ago, when I had just first learned about Etsy, I got one for my mother for mother's day.  She just loved it, and got many compliments when she pulled out her tea from the bright batik design.  A little while after starting the Two Bees Creations Etsy Shop, Bonnie saw her break out that same tea wallet and said "I could make that!  But, I think I could make it even better."


Bonnie made up one as a test, and she thought that it had turned out pretty nicely.  It sold that same day that we listed it!  One customer even asked if we could whip one up for her ASAP as a gift for her friend-the one she had favorited had sold before she got a chance to purchase it.  Now, tea wallets are our biggest seller at Two Bees Creations.  We are hoping to build up the stock of travel tea wallets so that our customers will have a wide variety of styles and fabrics to choose from.
 

Why do I need a tea wallet?
No boring black tea when you dine out!  Tea wallets can holds an array of your favorite teas, sweeteners,  & instant coffee packets for you to take anywhere. They fits in a purse or pocket and keep your tea bags fresh and easily accessible.  They can event hold up to 8 tea bags.  You can use them in other ways as well: as a mini sewing kit, purse organizer, or to hold notes or coupons.


What makes Two Bees Creations tea wallets special?
Each tea wallet is made with loving care by Bonnie Gartz in her home in Buffalo, NY.  Many of the wallets are made from upcycled materials.  This means that your wallet used to be a much loved shirt or blouse, and after being laundered and specially cared for, it is transformed into a tea wallet.  Another great thing about the tea wallets is that each is different.  Bonnie uses a mix of vintage and modern buttons and fabrics to give your tea wallet a special look and feel.

What can the wallet be bought for?
A tea wallet makes an awesome gift for Mother's Day, a birthday, a wedding shower gift, or hostess present.

We also take custom orders.  Say you'd like to surprise each of the ladies at your bachlorette party or baby shower with their own unique tea wallet.  Or, you'd like to have matching ones made for each member of your family for Easter.  We can make it happen!  These are the perfect size and price to use as favors for any occasion. Email TwoBeesCreations@gmail.com for more information.
