Cool Combo

This blanket/cooler combo tote from Skip Hop keeps drinks cold and snacks stashed while you search for your new favorite nosh spot. The sleek design saves space, you can choose between four on-trend prints (the feather print is new in 2017), the cushy surface wipes clean, and you can even convert the cooler into a compact messenger.

Available at skiphop.com, $45.
