If you need to carry garbage or plastic bottles back home after spending time outdoors, there’s the rabbit-shaped Love It Manner Bag. The bag has extra long plastic handles, so that when they’re tied together they look like the ears of a rabbit. The rabbit’s face is designed simply, with two dots for eyes and an x for its nose, and can be skinny or plump depending on how much garbage is put inside. With a unique rabbit face all your own, you may find that you actually enjoy carrying this bag around.

The official trash bag for Picnic Expo 2007 featured a grasshopper motif. This bag was designed to be used as a mat for sitting on when having a picnic, so it has a special non-slip surface; once you have finished your picnic, of course, you can use it to pack up your garbage.

All of these cute garbage bags were made in Japan. If you put some thought into it, maybe you could decorate garbage bags by drawing cute pictures on the front?

When putting out garbage in Japan, though, be sure to follow the rules of each community.
