Which can actually help you to keep calm and organised, no matter what life throws in your direction… Below are few suggestions of the must-have purse and handbag essentials.
So here we go.
# Travel Sized Tissue.
Travel sized tissues can be useful in many different ways few common examples are if have a runny nose, or whether you are crying, sneezing, or want to wipe off your lipstick. So to be well prepared always have travel sized tissue in your purse.

# Mini Mirror.
There are times when we need a second confirmation our faces look all good. And you may be in a place with no bathroom access nearby where you can rush to and double check that your face, hair, and make-up are all good. That’s where having a mini mirror like this comes in handy.

# Mouth Freshener.
These could be gum or mints in your purse, so you don’t have to worry if your breath smells bad after having coffee or lunch. Since you never know if your boss will call you into an unexpected meeting. Or who knows?
You could even be having a date later on after work. So be prepared for anything and hooray! You won’t have to worry about having stinky breath.
So get yourself some gum or mints from amazon.com or nearby favourite store.
#Pad/Tampons.
As women, you never know when you can get the unexpected period. So always have some period-protection with you. I usually buy these mini ones for a purse size.
Here is where you can get them online.
#Portable Charger.
If you are a smartphone user, you understand how these little gadgets can drain their battery quickly. One minute you are on Facebook, next on Pinterest or Instagram but within no time your battery is running low.
This is why it’s important to have a portable charger with you, so you don’t need to worry about being offline and have the ability to charge your smartphone anywhere.

# Chic Hair Ties.
I never miss this in my bag; it is super useful especially when they help to keep your hair from sticking to the back of your neck and out of your face.
You can get them here on Amazon.
#Stain Eraser.
With a handy pen-like formatted stain remover such as Tide-to-go sticks, so you don’t have to sit around the office all day with coffee spills and stains on your pants, or tomato sauce on your shirt ever again.
I love it since its small and compact, you can take it with you wherever you go and can be used on a wide variety of materials and fabrics.
Here is where to buy a portable handbag size.
#Bobby Pins-
You can use these when you don’t want your hair falling in your face. They also help keep the hair tidy and looking more put-together.

#Safety Pins
These are a lifesaver if you ever pop a button or a pull a seam. See them in different colours in the Amazon store.
#Band-Aids-
This is not just for cuts, band-aids can also help save your heels from painful blisters from new shoes.
#Cardholder
This is where you can separate any frequently used cards so that you can easily access your cards, especially when in a hurry.

#Pocket-Sized Notebook
Sometimes you may have amazing ideas that pop into your hand and you need to note down and a notebook is a place to do it. I know you could be wondering why not just use an app on the phone to write something down.
Maybe it’s just me but there is something magical about having my creative thoughts and inspiration in a notebook.
# Emergency Contact List.
Make sure you have a list of around three close family member’s phones numbers in your diary or notebook. This is because in case of an emergency situation they may be used to alert a family member.
Here is a small notebook size best for emergency contacts.
# Hand Sanitizer.
We come into contact with so many things and people in a day, by having hand sanitizer with you; it can help maintain good and required hygiene. Not to mention keeping away the flu and other bad bugs.
You can get a portable one here.
# Water bottle-
Staying hydrated is what makes our skin flourish and that means always carrying a water bottle with you should be on the top of every woman’s list.
Having a collapsible water bottle like this one, which is leak proof as well as a life saver! It’s foldable, so it also saves space in your handbag and you could also refill it as often as you want.
