What items are always in your purse?
Re: Wednesday POLL: Purses and your regular items in them
Do you carry a small, medium, or large bag (normally)? Typically a medium to large bag. Currently its my LV Damier Neverfull MM. Being a purse whore though I have bags in all sizes...LOL.
What items are always in your purse?
Billfold wallet (for cards and paper cash)
Coin wallet
Keys
Blackberry
Coach wristlet for store shopping cards, unused gift cards, etc
Pochette accessories case for make-up, band-aids, nail file, etc
Pen
Checkbook...its only in there b/c it's vintage LV that a client gave me and because I still write out one check each month for our mortgage
In the summer I tend the carry a small to medium size bag but in the fall/winter the bag gets bigger. I am on the hunt for a purple bag for fall.
I always carry tissues, gum, cell phone, wallet, checkbook, and about 5 tubes of lip gloss. When the bag gets bigger I add a cosmetic bag with miscellanous things like tape measure, nail file, mirror, etc.
I carry medium to large purses most of the time but like most women I have too many purses in various sizes.
Always in my purse are the following:
Coach wallet (that DH picked out for me)
Keys
lip gloss & face powder
advil, pepto, & tampons (because you never know)
spare house key (in case I lose aforementioned keys)
iphone & ear buds
gum for me & dh (because we have different tastes)
sunglasses
Sometimes I add a book or saline solution if I know I am going to be waiting somewhere for awhile (and with DH's broken ankle we have been doing plenty of that these past 2 weeks!!!)
Do you carry a small, medium, or large bag (normally)? I normally carry a medium to large size bag. I like to have the extra space to carry stuff in it. Like today I was going to a seminar so I wanted space for extra things.
What items are always in your purse?
Full size wallet with room for cash to lay flat, cards, etc.
Cell phone
Hand lotion
Ipod
Ring case
Hair brush
Flash drive
Gum, keys, chapstick, hair tie, and some other little things in a pocket
I have increased the size of my purse since I can remember and the bag I currently carry is very large! I'm not one to switch out bags because I have so much stuff that I can't transfer stuff easily. This is a list of what is currently in my bag. Are you ready? hahah, here we go!
wallet
rx bottle that I need to get refilled
hand sanitizer
sunglasses
3 packs of gum
8 lipglosses
tampons
about 7 pens/markers
compact
victoria's secret bra strap bag with jewelry in it
lowe's paint chip cards
SanDisk removable storage file
receipts
checkbook
small calendar (that I keep track of bills with)
4 boxes of contacts (just picked them up at walmart)
11 billion hairties
calculator
granola bar
doggie bags (for doggie waste pickups)
2 eyeglass cases
allergy eyedrops
claritin
nail polish
spare change at the bottom
block nail file/buffer
My purse is seriously a black hole. These items are almost always in my purse because I hardly ever clean it out--maybe once every 4 months if that. I'm a total neat freak in all other areas of my life (house, car, office at work, etc.) but not my purse and I really don't know why. It drives other people nuts, but I'm totally fine with it
People joke about the size of my purse, but I'm the first person they ask if they have something they want to store in it and they don't feel like carrying it.
I usually carry a medium to large purse, but I do like to use my Coach sling bag sometimes when I'm running a lot of errands so my hands are free.
Usually in my everyday bag is:
Full size wallet (DH got me a Coach bag and wallet for my b-day when we got engaged, I have no desire to change my wallet now)
Checkbook
Lipgloss
Make-up case--it contains tampons, pills, hair ties..... anything you may need in a day
iPhone
Gum
Tons of receipts
Keys
Spare credit card size wallet so I have it handy when I want to switch to a bigger bag
Hair brush
Pens
I tend to accumulate a lot as the week goes on so I try to clean it out every week or so.
I have a pretty big bag as I prepare for almost anything. (Everyone mocks me until someone needs a Tums or band-aid.)
In my satchel:
- Full size wallet with cards I don't really use, prayer cards (Catholic novenas, and the Indian God Ganesh, because you just don't know who is listening when you ask for help)
- $20 of uncashed scratch and win lottery game cards. (technically back up cash)
- small wallet with cards I do use and my license with some cash
- collapsable travel brush
- case for my contacts and saline
- make up case
- cell phone
- keys
- mints
- checks
- mini journal for writing
- mini sketch book for sketching
- pens (gel, ballpoint, blue and black)
- hand sanitizer
- tums, pepcid, band aids, etc
- coupons for the places I "may go"
- fruit snacks or granola bars
- a pink "girl" swiss army knife (scissors, knife, bottle opener, tweezers, flashlight, sewing kit, etc) This one I have to remember it's in my bag when I go through security and stuff.
- sunglasses
- assorted lip glosses
- hair ties
Yeah...that's about it.
Do you carry a small, medium, or large bag (normally)? medium... and I don't change out my purses either. Once I get tired of a purse I buy a new one. It has to match black and brown too, haha, because I will carry it everywhere.
What items are always in your purse? wallet, keys, cell phone, hairbrush, pens, chapstick, lipgloss and whatever I toss into my purse because it is more of a hobo bag
I have a medium sized pink and grey Nine West.
I have a ton of things stuffed in that purse....
brush
various lipsticks, lip glosses
tampons, pantyliners
tissues
wallet
planner
car cell charger
pens
checkbook
baby snacks (sometimes)
There is other stuff, but I can't remember right now!
I usually go with a medium bag
Always have my wallet, keys, phone, etc, and ALWAYS have a tide to go stick!!! I am so clumsy, I would be a mess without it. I try to also have:
Tampons, bandaids, advil, gum, tissues, and a pen/notepad
Also my camera
there of course is also the various reciepts and pieces of paper trash that I stuff in the bottom and forget to clean out, then fnd months later...

I always carry a small to medium size purse. I have trouble with my neck, and can't carry a large amount of weight on my shoulder...so a smaller bag helps keep the weight under control.
Currently I have a Vera Bradley "Maggie" bag...I think next time I will get the one that is the same size, but with more pockets, but I can't remember what that one is called.
Contents of my purse:
Wallet
Blistex lip balm
Coins
about a week's worth of receipts from my bank card
2 pens
keys
cell phone
mini bottle of lotion
mini bottle of hand sanitizer
business cards for me & DH
pepto bismal tablets
compact
my ID badge lanyard for work, when I'm not wearing it
my checkbook (only today, I have to write out a check, I normally don't carry that with me)
mini CPR mask (I'm a part time instructor for the Red Cross, so it would be bad if I wasn't prepared for an emergency!
various store coupons - (currently I have Old Navy's stuff and save voucher, waiting til Friday to use it!)
Do you carry a small, medium, or large bag (normally)?
medium
What items are always in your purse?
keys, wallet (or cash & cards), cell phone, lip gloss
Those items get tossed in a clutch and make the "always" list, but the "usually" list is much longer.
