Handbag/Purse Essentials – Every Girl Should Have

Like most of you, I own around 15-20 handbags. It may seem a little extreme if you’re a one handbag kind of gal but, I just love handbags. I have a lot in storage so my 15-20 that get regular use seem quite little in comparison! They’re all different shapes, sizes, colors, models but, they all have one thing in my common, my essentials.

Below i’m going to be telling you the essentials you will find in virtually every single one of my bags. I do this so I never have to rely on anyone to lend me a brush or some gum, this way i’m prepared for every situation.

All of these products vary depending on the size of my bag for instance I can’t carry round a spare phone charger in my mini tote! I’m not crazy…

1 # Gum! 

I cannot go a day without chewing gum. If you have read my blog before you know I hate feeling even a little ‘grubby’ so, if I can chew a little gum it makes me feel better. I especially love to chew when i’m driving just to give me something else to do.

I also think it’s super important to keep gum in your handbag because you never know who you are going to meet or what you are going to eat, this way I am always prepared.

I love buying gum in bulk so I always have some when I need, my favorite is below:

2 # Hand Sanitizer

Aside from everything else i’m a bit of a germ freak. I can’t do anything if I feel like my hands are dirty so, when i’m out and about and feel that urge coming on I know I have a hand sanitizer waiting for me.

3 # Bobbles

I lose hair ties so much and I always seem to have a ton when I don’t want my hair up soon as I do BAM they’re all gone, anyone else?

Anyway, I carry about 5 in each handbag just so I know i’m always going to have one. I also keep a few in my car just in case!

4 # So I can see in the dark…

I don’t carry these in every single handbag because they won’t fit in some and it’s not really necessary for every trip I make (Maybe one day i’ll regret saying that!), I carry a little mini Flashlight.

They come in handy so much in my life and they’re ultra handy in emergencies. It’s a definite must have in my handbag.

5 # Ah-Tishu!!!

Yes, that’s right. I carry round small packets of tissues in every handbag. I don’t always need them but, have you ever been to a public toilet and there’s no roll? well, i’m prepared for that. Have you ever been to a drugstore and got make up all over your hands? I’m prepared for that.

6 # Deo 

If you have read my article on what I use to smell good you will know I have issues with smelling good. Below I have linked my favorite deodorant I use that I keep in my handbag at all times so I can always freshen up on the go.

7 # Charger 

I always keep a spare phone charger in my handbag because I hate getting somewhere and seeing your phone slowly die before your eyes. I also have a in car phone charger just for if it’s too awkward when I get there to charge in to the mains!

8 # Music 

I like to keep a spare pair of earphones in each handbag so when i’m on the go and I need a little chill time, I can just pop them in. I have the ones I have listed below, they are soo cheap and so good. They have over 25 thousand reviews on the US amazon, I couldn’t believe it either.
