Awesome Accessory Alert: Purse Hook

While drinking a beer at my local dive recently, my friend Kat and I were having a very serious discussion regarding the importance of hooks under bars (and tables for that matter). Everytime I get to a bar or restaurant I immediately run my hand under the length of my bar area searching and hoping for a hook to put my purse. This can be quite an unpleasant experience, especially if it ends with the discovery of gum instead of a hook. If there is no hook, you are forced to either keep your purse on your lap (which is uncomfortable and gets in the way of my drinking) or put your purse on the floor. We are all well aware of what may await us down there on the ground. Nothing pleasant awaits for you or your poor purse. Anyways, a few weeks after Kat and I had this long talk, she surprised me with the best gift ever! A purse hook! The hook can hold up to 35 pounds and safely keeps your purse (or jacket, scarf, whatever) off the floor! You can even have the circular part that sits on the table personalized (mine is yellow with a "B" in green gem stones). These go for about $20 but I saw some cheaper ones on Amazon. Next time you are at a restaurant or bar or wherever, take notice of how annoying purse placement is and consider the purse hook. Here is a link to a site that makes eco-friendly hooks. They also have hooks that double as bracelets, however I am unable and unwilling to vouch for that product.
