GOT BAG Charms: Bag Charms as Gifts Under €20

Looking for a small gift that won’t disappear into a closet? A GOT BAG charm hangs in plain sight every day on a backpack, gym bag or keychain. All the charms cost under €20 and are made from recycled fishing nets. Here’s how to find the right one for everyone.

What are GOT BAG charms?

GOT BAG is known for backpacks made from plastic collected from the ocean and coastlines. The charms are mini versions: small pendants shaped like sea creatures or a mini backpack. The material is called RE:NYNET® and is made from recycled fishing nets.

Most charms have a carabiner clip that you can open with one hand. Some have a small zippered pocket for coins, a key or lip balm.

The five charms at a glance

Shark with a pocket: a favorite with kids

At 17 × 12 × 6.5 cm, the Shark Charm is the largest charm with a zipper. There’s room in the shark’s belly for a few coins or a front door key. Your child will spot it right away on their backpack in the daycare cubby area.

Crescent moon with a pocket: slim and practical

The Moon Charm is GOT BAG’s Moon Bag in miniature. Measuring 12 × 12 × 3 cm, it sits flat against a bag. The pocket holds about 0.1 liters—enough for a hair tie and lip balm. A gift for a teenager or Mom.

Heart: the flattest charm

The Treasure Charm features the words “Trash to Treasure” and is only 2 cm deep. It barely dangles, making it ideal as a marker on a backpack. It comes in several colors. Give each family member a different color and you’ll never mix up the backpacks again.

Sea anemone: a pop of color

At 15 × 15 × 9 cm, the coral-red Anemone Charm is the most eye-catching in the collection. It has a small drawstring pouch inside. You can’t miss it on a dark bag.

Mini backpack: for rolltop fans

The Rolltop Charm is the familiar rolltop backpack in miniature, measuring 12 × 9.5 × 4 cm. The rolltop closure really does roll open and closed. Anyone who already carries the full-size rolltop will love having its little sibling on their keys.

Which charm is right for whom?

• Daycare and school kids: Shark or Heart. Both make a backpack easy to pick out in the cubby area.
• Teenagers: Moon or Anemone. The little pocket is handy for small headphone accessories.
• Adults: Mini backpack or Moon on a keychain.
• Siblings: Heart charms in different colors, so each child has their own.

Pair it with: patches for kids’ backpacks

Does your child already have a GOT BAG Kids Adventure backpack? The patch sets are a great match, such as Axolotl or Seahorse. Each set includes three embroidered patches. They attach to the backpack’s daisy chain with snap buttons—no sewing required. Your child can take them off and move them around themselves.

Why a charm makes a great little gift

A charm is small, easy to wrap and fits in any advent calendar or Christmas stocking. It’ll actually get used because it hangs from an everyday item. And it tells a story: the material used to be a fishing net in the ocean.

To be honest, a charm is an accessory, not a toy. According to the manufacturer, it’s not suitable for children under three. For toddlers, it’s best to choose something else.
