5 out of 5 starsJust as described. So cute, I can’t wait to use this when I comb the beach for sea glass! Such a kind gesture from the seller to put a few pieces of sea glass in there for me! Thank you so much!

5 out of 5 starsI order these bags in December for our upcoming trip to Maine. I had not opened the package until today. The bags and note cards are lovely. I am so pleased and I know my fellow sea glass hunters will be too.

5 out of 5 starsI stumbled on this accidentally but my mom and son collect shells that they hold onto until they get back to their chairs to throw into a ziplock bag. I feel like this might make their shell collecting a little more convenient for both of them. It’s so cute, even came with some sea glass to get them started!
