All bags
At TK Maxx we've got different types of bags for any occasion. Bags for backs and bags for snacks. Designer bags that make a splash, bargain bags when you're light on cash. Some with patterns, some with wheels, but all our bags are total steals.
-
Backpacks
Yes, it's a pack for your back. Also known as kitbag, knapsack, rucksack, rucksac, pack, sackpack or backsack. Not to be confused with backpack-ers: those are usually found on beaches "finding themselves".

Under Eye Bags
It's one of the most common questions on Google: how to get rid of under eye bags? Caused due to lack of sleep, dehydration and allergies. How to fix them? Try cucumber slices or tea bags once they've cooled.
