What do you carry in your everyday handbag/purse?

[SmoochsPLH]

Too much crud.

• phone
• wallet
• keys
• carry around charger
• candy
• sketchbook/drawing stuff (i like to make little doodles for any servers)
• lots of little stim toys (squishy bunny, squishy frog, jingle bear, etc.)
• sunglasses
• face mask

Spoiler: old list

always:
- phone
- wallet
- keys
- gum
- headphones
- painkillers
- textbook(s)

occasionally:
- laptop
- 3ds
- novel(s)

i tend to travel lightly with my backpack & use it as a shopping bag when i'm out to avoid plastic bag use.

i've recently gotten a smaller backpack that i take with me when i go out places, so what i carry has changed a bit! here's what i make room for now:
- phone
- wallet (sometimes -- i'm trying to curb my spending, so if i'm not driving sometimes i don't even take my wallet so i can't buy anything)
- keys
- painkillers
- ipad (sometimes, if i'm going out with a friend who has homework or something to do)
- lip balm
- hand lotion

and that's it! no more room for books or anything like that, only small things. i think that works better for me than having a huge, heavy backpack.

my phone, money, earphones, hand sanitizer, hand lotion, mints, and sometimes deodorant if it's a hot day

I don't always use a bag, but when I do it's usually my circular shoulder bag. It has a pentacle design on the front in studs. It's smallish, but it does the trick.

Usual contents:

• Two things of lip balm (one tastes like Coca Cola, the other like mint)
• Small thing of hand sanitizer (also smells like mint)
• Travel-sized hand cream (does not smell like mint, this one has a plum scent)
• A few pieces of peppermint swirl candy (I have IBS, and peppermint is a remedy for gut pain even in candy form; also useful for if my blood sugar gets low)
• A Hello Kitty head-shaped tin to carry my medication in should I go anywhere to eat or if I end up staying out later than 8:30 (the tin also goes in a small zippered bag to ensure that the meds don't spill out all over the place)
• My ID (since my actual wallet doesn't exactly fit into the bag)
• Spare change, which is usually rolling around despite me putting it into a pocket.
• Occasionally, a set of wired earbuds
• My phone, so it doesn't fall out of my pocket and I lose it
• My rescue inhaler, just in case

I can't think of anything else, because I have different extra items depending on the situation. Though right now I don't have to worry about it, since I'm not exactly allowed to go anywhere XD

I rarely carry a bag. I live in Ireland so the weather is usually shocking and I can fit everything I need in my jacket pockets, lol. On rare occasions where it's actually nice outside and I have minimal pockets, I just carry my purse in a small shoulder bag but carrying a bag is so annoying to me. Keys and phone are always in my jean pockets.

If it's during the college semester then I'll have a backpack obvs but I don't carry much in that either, just water, books and possibly a phone charger.

Wallet, phone, reusable grocery bags, sometimes kleenex

I carry a drawstring back with me whenever I go out for close to 7 years now.

Inside contains:
- Pocket tissue.
- Antibacterial wet wipes.
- Fisherman's Friend Honey lemon flavour.
- Foldable LOQI bags x 3 (very handy, washable and durable). I have rarely needed plastic bags for many years now even before the whole save the environment movement began and plastic bags are demonized.
- Another smaller drawstring bag containing one Aukey 30000mah power bank and one Samsung 10,000mah power bank along with usb cables.
- Foldable pocket umbrella (you never know when the weather will turn on you).
- A sweater if I'm going to the cinema.

Whereas my phone, wallet, coin case and keys goes in my pockets

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Carry my backpack with me to work, it’s usually got my wallet, 50oz water bottle, battery pack, some meds, and sometimes my switch.

 

[Goop]

• Wallet.
• Phone.
• Keys.
• Headphones.
• Phone charger.
• Switch + Switch charger.
• Sketchbook, pens, mechanical pencil, and kneaded eraser.
• Makeup touch-up kit (mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick, lip gloss, lip balm)
• Some sort of snack, like granola bars/protein drink.

I carry around a backpack or a larger purse depending on what outfit I'm wearing, where I'm going, how long I'm gonna be gone, etc. Each bag I own has it's own slew of original items in it from tissues to lotion to gum but the above always gets swapped out of every bag.

 

[kayleee]

I carry my wallet, keys, chapstick, hand sanitizer, gum, sunglasses and usually a bunch of random receipts that really need to be thrown away lol
