Nobody but me is ever allowed in my handbag and I always have certain things in it. What’s in yours?

Since I’m on a motorbike most of the time I use a backpack, which in and of itself has proved useful!
Inside I’ve got … Work ID Old leather purse I bought second hand about 15 years ago Antihistamines Ibuprofen Mini hairbrush Mini nailclippers A reliable pen Hand sanisizer House keys 1 individually wrapped maxi-pad (useful for various emergencies aside from the obvious) 1 pair of disposable earplugs (for when riding the motorbike) And the most recent addition is reading glasses :-(
Motorbike is impressive! How long have you had it?
It’s funny, here in Spain there’s lots of women who use motorbikes and scooters as their main transportation so I’ve never thought of it as impressive!
I’ve had motorbikes since I was little, I was fascinated by them much to my mothers disappointment.
Have you ever thought about riding one?
I’m disabled so it’s not worth it for me. When I see one parked up I quite often look at it obviously though.
Intentional: pack of tissues, lip balm, tampons, pen, packet of oatcakes, Loop earbuds, headphones, purse, keys, hair ties
Unintentional: old receipts, old tissues, oatcake crumbs
Occasional: notebook, book to read, shopping bag
I should really add an emergency snack. Smart!
I approve of the emergency snacks. This is important
Always?
No keys: we don’t lock our home, and since we share a car the key lives in a drawer.
No wallet: I forget it at home several times a year.
No make-up: I never wear any.
Random scraps of paper with illegible notes it is, then.Wallet, mask, keys, mini scissors, dog poo bags, my meds, Loop ear plugs
My partner’s very covid-cautious and we both have immuno-compromised friends, so we both mask in stores or other crowded places.
Wallet, kindle, field notes, assorted pencils and pens, bandaids, measuring tape, knife, disposable and reusable earplugs, headphones, lip balm, masks, 1 reusable shopping bag, hair ties, tampons, hand sanitizer, dog poop bags, random mix of meds in one bottle, gloves, and a hat.
Hairbrush, zipper wallet with cards and a little bit of cash for emergencies, a small bottle of perfume (Victoria’s Secret Coconut Passion, my partner got it as a gift in 2013 and never used it lol), phone cable and sometimes a battery bank, pack of travel tissues, a pill bottle with 2 days of my ADHD meds in case I forgot to take them, a few cotton buds for if my eyeliner transfers to the lower lid, a few cotton pads for cleaning up any cakey looking makeup or runs from being too warm, tinted lip balm, lip gloss, a reusable shopping bag, a travel umbrella, and the apartment keys.
Might need a Bag of Holding tbh.
You are a regular Mary Poppins! You’re super organised I approve
A year or so ago I bought a nice handbag that came with a smaller removable bag on the inside that I keep everything in. It sure makes changing bags easier since every handbag I own can accommodate that smaller bag 🤣
Forgot to mention that inside the wallet there is also a few doses of paracetamol and ibuprofen for headaches as well as cetirizine for allergies. My partner loves the fact that I have her covered in case of emergency ☺️
That reminds me I always have painkillers too!
Mine has a reusable face mask, keys, wallet, collapsible brush, pocket knife, lip balm, a stainless steel mirror in a cover and some loose change and there’s pepper spray clipped to the outside. Depending on where I am going and the time of day also a small pistol.
I noticed you mentioned masks in another comment; I wear my mask when i go in healthcare settings or any place folks might be breathing on me. Lots of shopkeepers here still wear them.
I just realized i should throw a couple band-aids in there!
Have you been shooting long? I went shooting in America a few years ago and LOVED it
I have been shooting about 30 years now, throwing lead is fun.
Absolutely! If I was in the US I’d definitely get a firearm, especially in the current climate.
My keys, purse + credit card, ID, hand sanitizer + mask
Are many people still using masks in Canada? It’s unheard of in the UK now
Uncommon in my area, but I’ve made it a permanent habit since 2020. I’d hate to make anyone else sick!
It’s no bad thing, I wish it was more normalised
Other than the obvious stuff to get around with, I always keep a colored lip balm, small mirror, spare toothpicks, hair ties, hand sanitizer, ear buds, and a pen. :)
In a bigger bag, I’ll throw in a hat, sunglasses, and a tote bag for grocery shopping.
I always have a refillable bottle of water, my purse, keys, at least one lipbalm, a few receipts for random things and a miscellaneous item I don’t remember putting in it. There’s often a biro in there, despite the fact that I swear I never put birds in it!
