items I won tickets to Taylor Swift's Era's Tour in Indianapolis (still pinching myself, thank you Capital One!) and decided to make my best friend and I our version of a “gifting suite/swag bag” for the weekend. It won't be a surprise for me (duh), but it...

Swiftie
Here you will find each of the items I purchased for our Bestie Boo bags that are specifically themed after Ms. Taylor Alison Swift and/or the Eras Tour.
These Eras Tour socks were an immediate yes when I stumbled upon them on Temu. Not only are the on-theme, but they are comfortable and the quiality is really good. I wore them the entire weekend!
Eras Tour Crew Socks
I bought several Eras Tour / Taylor themed sunglasses for us to use throughout the weekend and for the show. Although, don't mock me if you see me wearing them in Miami too! Some of them are just WAY too cute to never wear again!
Eras Tour Sunglasses
This Candle Company is based in West Lafayette, Indiana where my little sister spent her first two years of Med School. My older sister and I discovered it when we visited in April, and since then it's become a favorite of mine. Several scents are th...

This candle company is local to West Lafayette Indiana, where my little sister lived for the first two years of med school at IU. When my older sister and I discovered the shop, we bought so many scents. This was one of the ones I bought, and I actua...

I think this was the first purchase I made upon getting the email saying that I won the Capital One contest and was actually going to be able to see the Eras Tour. I thought it would be the cutest momento of that weekend, so I got one for both of us ...
I Went to the Eras Tour Sticker
You cannot go to the Eras Tour without your 13, and instead of writing it and it looking terrible I thought that this would be a great option. The tattoo itself lasted me days! Make sure you use an oil based product when you're trying to remove it, o...
Taylor Swift 13 Tattoos for Eras Tour
The Little Golden Biographies are one of my favorite books for kids. Although I clearly bought this for two 30-something year old women, I knew it would be the perfect thing for any Swiftie. Funnily enough, my best friend told me my Godson wanted to ...
Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Book Biography
I bought this canvas bag for my Bestie Boo bag and was actually very impressed with how sturdy the bag is. The material is thick and holds a lot, the images are clear, and the theme was perfect.

This Eras Tour ring dish could not come at a better time. Right before I left for Indy, I shattered my ring dish so knowing I had this waiting for me gave me a sense of peace over the situation. I honestly LOVE how it's themeed to Taylor's Eras, and ...
Eras Ring dish
When i started preparing this Bestie Boo bag/Swag Bag idea, I knew that I wanted to find something that we could wear around my sister's apartment or while we were getting ready. Heck, I'd even settle for wearing it to bed…this shirt was the perfect ...

For the Concert Bag
These are all the products that I bought for our Bestie Bags, but specifically for us to include in our concert bags!
It took me forever to find a compact mirror, and this is the perfect one. It has both 1x and 2x magnification mirrors. Also, it was absolutely affordable which I love.
Goody Soft-Touch Compact Mirror 1x and 3x Magnification
I thought this keychain would be a cute addition to our bags, plus they could help us hold our phones or camera!
Shein Pink Disco Heart Keychain
Do I really need to explain why I wanted to include this? You never know when you will need Poo-Pourri, so immediately added to the bag!
Poo-Pourri Before-You-Go Toilet Spray, Variety Pack (Pack of 3), 0.31 pounds | Original Citrus, Lavender Vanilla, Tropical Hibiscus | 1 Fl Oz | 3 count | Pocket Travel Size
Given that we were going to be on our feet for over four hours, I thought this was a very importat addition to the Bestie Boo bags and our concert bags. They definitely came in handy too, my best friend cut her hand mid-show and we were prepared!
Strong-Strips Flexible Fabric Bandages - up&up™
People on TikTok and Instagram kept mentioning needing to take ear plugs to the show, so I threw some of these in our bags (just in case). Honestly, I think it was a great idea because being on the floor, it was louder than other areas Plus I figured...

I am my grandmother's granddaughter, so I had to add tide-to-go wipes to our bags. I always have them in my purse, as it is, so this is an easy addition to the bag. I ALWAYS get dirty so having these with me just feels like a security blanket at this...
Tide to Go Instant Stain Removing Wipes, 10 Count Wipes (Pack of 2)
Aside from the Tide-To-Go wipes, I threw in a pen as well. Somethings the stains I make are easier to clean with the pen, so I wanted to have both options, just in case.
Tide Stain Remover for Clothes, To Go Pen, Instant Spot Remover for Clothes, Travel & Pocket Size, 3 Count
I found these at the Dollar Tree last year and added them to my car pack, so when I was picking things to add to our Bestie Boo bags I immediately put these on the list. They are amazing, especially on the go, and they're compact enough to fit in the...

I love mini deodorants, so I thought something like this would be ideal for our concert bag especially if I was going to be singing and dancing for four hours. I refuse to smell!

I have the Stoney Clover Lane version of this travel pouch, which I converted into a crossbody bag, and is approved for Stadiums and Arenas. Add some D-Ring hooks from Amazon, and you're all set!
Walmart
This is another Stoney Clover dupe, but a really good one! I bought it for my best friend to use for the concert, and I got myself one since my other version is for Gator games! The price is unbeatable!
Walmart
Makeup
The idea of the Bestie Boo bags came from watching influencers go to brand trips or their own Eras Tour shows with some of my favorite brands, so I knew that I wanted to add some makeup to the bag…that way I knew we would get to use it and discover n...
I love PH-based products. So, when I was done with the Bestie Boo bag shopping and I came across this eye, cheek, and lip multi-stick, I knew I had to add it. It ended up serving as the perfect tool for me to have my eyes done for the show (since I c...
Thread Transp Horm It Color Changing Blush - 0.43oz
Obviously, Taylor is known for her classic red lip, so I knew I needed to find something for us to make our own red lips with. I had bought the Slim Stick for the red lipstick, but I hate wearing matte lip products because I feel like they make my li...
Essence Juicy Bomb Shiny Lip Gloss
I had not yet tried this before this weekend, but I knew I wanted to add something for our base…since skin tints and all that are difficult to choose, especially not knowing my best friends shade without having to ask her, this product became the per...
Essence Magic Filter Glow Booster
I love the Benefit Cosmetics Benetint, and I use it a lot, but I did not want to have to dish out that much money for one product. My best friend had been asking abouit the Benetint, so when I saw Essence had their own version (and under $5), I jumpe...
Essence What a Tint! Lip & Cheek Tint
Originally, this was not included in the Best Boo swag. However, I bought myself one when I was stocking up the bag and immediately fell in love with it. So much so, that after I had already packed everything I ordered one for my best friend and I to...
Essence Lash Princess Mascara Primer Extra Length & Volume
You cannot loook shiny for Taylor, so I bought us this fixing powder. It really made my makeup look flawless, while disguising any spots where I typically shine. I'm still using it daily, so it's definitely something I'll buy again.
Essence All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder
Again, I love PH-based products and this is no different. This lip and cheek oil from Essence is a great product, but it also layers really well over other products. Since it's based on your skin's PH, I put it on before I add any other cheek product...
Essence Electric Glow Colour Changing Lip & Cheek Oil
I bought us the “Rose All Day” shade of this product, and I thought it was perfect because of how small it is. A little goes a LONG way with this product, and it's so small it'll fit in any concert bag.
Baby Got Blush
What originally introduced me to Essence Makeup was their mascara holiday kit, last year. Since then, I've tried almost EVERY SINGLE mascara they make. Of course, being new, I hadn't tried this one. OH MY GOD. I think it's my favorite of theirs. I ha...
Essence Call Me Queen Dramatic False Lash Effect Mascara
This is the product I used for the red lip inspired by Taylor's own classic red lip look. Under $5, and the consistency is so smooth. I actully even like it on it's own (sans lip gloss), which says a lot since typically I need a gloss to keep my lips...
Essence The Slim Stick Lipstick
This is the bronzer I bought us, in the Cinnamon Spice shade, for the weekend. Another very versatile addition to the bag, and it's size is so compact it fits in every concert bag (or even your pocket). A little goes a long way, and the creamy formul...
Essence Baby Got Bronze Bronzing Stick
I bought these pil blotting sheets for us to keep in our concert bags, since the All About Matt! compact would take a little more space. I definitely was not oging to let us be shiny for Taylor, and this was perfect for that.
Teenitor Oil Blotting Sheets for Face, 400 Sheets Green Tea Oil Absorbing Sheets Blotting Paper for Oily Skin, Oil Absorbent Pads Face Oil Wipes Oil Sheets for Women, Oil Control Film Large 10cmx7cm
Travel makeup wipes are an absolute must for me, bonus points if they're single packets like these. I split this bag between the two Bestie Boo bags and it was the perfect addition to our bag so we could use it after the show or while we got ready!

Miscellaneous
These are all random things I added to our bags because it reminded me of Taylor, fit the theme, or was just something I knew we could use over the weekend (and in life).
This Indiana-based Candle Company is my favorite, and although this is not Taylor-themed it is from them. I love this scent and have already burned two candles of it!
Black Lavender + Oak | Flora Candle Company
I cannot find the exact pouch I bought us online, so I picked this as the perfect replacement option. I'm sucker for pouches and this is a great option to have!
Large Multi Stripe Pouch
I bought these more for the recovery/re-hydration aspect than for the hangover, although they're good to have for both!
Alka-Seltzer Hangover Relief Effervescent Tablets Formulated for Fast Relief of Headaches, Body Aches and Mental Fatigue, 60CT (20ct x 3) Bundle
Liquid IV is a great item to have pre- and post-concert. They give you energy and have a lot of electrolytes to keep you hydrated. I also love that they have so many flavors to consider!

These are the softest pair of lounge shorts I have ever come across…they're giving SKIMS vibes without the price tag. I was very happy with them and they went perfeclty with the oversized tee I bought us. I will also be using them at home with my swe...
Women's Cloud Knit Pajama Shorts - Auden™
I bought this iridescent paper to give a Stoney Clover Lane vibe to the Bestie Boo bags. They were a lot smaller than I anticipated, but the effect was still there!
150 Pieces Cellophane Sheets Iridescent Cellophane Wrap (9 x 9 Inch)
The original idea for what this is going to be used for was inspired by the pink disco ball picture holder I saw at TJ Maxx, but I never found it again (despite going to several TJ Maxx's around Miami) and the ones I ordered on SHEIN, sadly did not w...
Mini Place Card Holder
This iridescent paper went into my bag to help jazz up the presentation. I probably could have done without it, but it was a cute idea. She got a pink iridescent version of this as well!
1.5oz Easter Boys Bday Green Shred - Spritz™
I knew I wanted to add a Disco ball straw to the bag, after seeing them at TJ Maxx, but instead of $10 for one straw I went to Five Below and paid $3 for four! Now I have extras that I can use to make my cousins their own swag bags for Christmas!
Disco Ball Straws
I thought adding these silk sleep masks would be a nice addition because it would go with the self-care theme. My best friend ended up using them for a nap while I cleeaned and organized my stuff in Indy!

When I found the disco ball pen, I knew I needed to add a cute notebook to the bag. I couldn't find one themed to Taylor (because apparently every boutique in Indy had already purchased them, and if I waited it would be too late!) so I got the Rifle ...

The Disco ball pen has to be my favorite item…I love it and it gives me such Taylor vibes, I'm not even sure why. The one I got has pink ink, which adds a fun girlie flare to whatever you are writing!
Amazon.com: NPW Disco Ball Pen Spinning Mirror Disco Ballpoint Pen, Office and School Supplies, Writing Journaling Pens Gift for Women Girls Teachers : Tools & Home Improvement
I bought us pink, shimmery, glass tumblers at TJ Maxx, but these are the closest I could find to that. I love them because they're giving Eras, while still being affordable. I even thought we could put our “I went to the Eras Tour” sticker on them if...

Skincare
Skincare is very important, especially to prep your skin. Here are some of the additions to the Bestie Boo bag I added related to skincare and self-care.
These are the world's best zit patches. I'm not even kidding you. They were so good that I bought them for us both to have in our bags. I cannot stress enough how GOOD these are. Like if you buy anything off this list, let it be this because it's tha...

Essence Makeup is one of the best under $25 makeup brands I've ever discovered. When I was at Ulta picking what I wanted to buy for the bags, I thought of what we could use when getting ready. That is where these eye patches came in. Making sure that...
Essence Harley Quinn Hydro Gel Eye Patches
I personally love hand cream, and I knew I wanted to add one to the bag because it would go with the self-care pre-concert prep theme I was building. This brand is amazing, but you can honestly get any…I just really love how this product smells and h...
L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
There is absolutely NO moisturizer better than the Bubble Skincare Slam Dunk (and I'm not just saying that as a Bubble Amabassador). This product is truly amazing and extremely affordable. You can even get it in a travel size, which was perfect for o...

The Mario Badescu facila spray is one of the best facial sprays I've used. Not only is it hydrating, but the scents are delicious. I also think it's something to keep in your carry on when traveling, becasue it'll come in handy when your skin gets dr...
Mario Badescu the Facial Spray Collection
Touchland Hand Sanitzers are my favorite. I do not have a single bag that does not contain at least one of these. I hadn't tried the Watermelon yet, so I chose that for our Bestie Boo bags and I'm still using it!
Touchland Power Mist Wild Watermelon
I thought this Spa Headband set would be a cute addition to the bag, for the GRWM videos we could make. Of course, we were so frazzled, we didn't make them in Indy but I plan to use it when I make them back home. The wristbands come in handy when I'm...

Tech
Despite the fact that I already have, at least ten, external battery packs….I bought us this for the concert. She got the purple and I got the black. I will say that out of all the back up batteries I have, this one is incredible.
Portable Charger USB C Power Bank
I am a sucker for all things iPhone accessories, and this was one I immediately wanted to get us. She is getting the puple, I got the pink, and the rest is history.
Shein Star Cellphone Charm
This was an easy addition to the bag because I am the queen of taking pictures and selfies, plus I knew my best friend didn't have one. She was thrilled to see this in the bag, although she hasn't used it yet…I need to yell at her for that!
Shein Double-Sided Heart Sticky Grip
When I was at Urban Outfitters I saw these disposable cameras and had a total light builb moment. I love taking pictures on actual cameras and disposables because it's so nostalgic….but the disposable ones are the best, you never know what the outcom...
Fujifilm QuickSnap Flash 400 One-Time-Use Camera -2 Pack
I didn't buy this for the basket, but I did take it so we culd take pictures. What I did buy, was the film! We ended up taking a few pictures with this, so I'll be putting them in the little picture holder and adding them to my coffee table!
Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera Sky Blue + Fuji Film Value Pack (40 Sheets) + Shutter Accessories Bundle, Incl. Compatible Carrying Case, Quicksand Beads Photo Album 64 Pockets
Although not as strong as the other external battery, but still a great option. Plus, it's bedazzled…which screamed Taylor to me. I actually even used mine during the show (after the first one died, of course). It worked out perfectly.
