I’ve been a fan of Timbuk2 messenger bags for over 10 years. I was turned onto the brand my freshman year at Cal Poly by Guy. The bag I use every day to cart around my laptop is the same bag I bought back in the day.

Today I received a promotional email from Timbuk2 attempting to take advantage of the last-minute shopper/procrastinator. They, like many other companies are selling gift certificates.

The twist is that these gift certifates come in the format of a PDF that you can fold (oragami-ish) into a something that resembles a Timbuk2 bag. This would be much more appealing under the tree than a tiny iTunes gift card.
