Handbag essentials

items Caring for my dad and two high maintenance dogs means I have quite a lot going on in my handbag when we venture out together.
I keep several of these loaded with the pills dad has to take whenever he eats something.
Muji Cream Pot Medium
90-year old teeth means Dad almost always needs a toothpick when we are eating out, so I keep a few spare in this handy container (so they aren't floating about all over my bag)
Portable Toothpick Case
It's always wise to have a little sunscreen in your bag (for both me and Dad) and this one is great - small and light and really helps prevent pigmentation, which I am prone to.
Eucerin Pigment Control Spf 50 Antimanchas
Always have one of these now for summer heatwave outings, to help keep us all cool. This one is quite powerful.
John Lewis High Power Handheld Fan with Aluminium Casing, Silver
These transparent pouches are great for keeping all the little things dad needs and asks for when we are out - nail file, toothpicks, medication. I call it my ‘dad pouch’. Being transparent makes it easy to find what I need quickly, and separate from...
Muji Transparent TPU pouch - Large
Very handy to have to hand for getting food or drink stains out of clothing.
Tide to Go Stain Pens 3 Count - pack of 1
I always keep one of these in my bag and one in the car for the dogs. Super light and easy to cart about in case the dogs are thirsty.
PetBonus 2-Pack Collapsible Portable Dog Bowls
In winter, I keep these pocket hand warmers charged up and in my bag as Dad really feels the cold these days.
OCOOPA Rechargeable Hand Warmers
I always keep a spare pair of these stylish off-the shelf reading glasses for Dad in my bag as a back-up, just in case he forgets his.
Izipizi Reading Glasses Navy Blue
Our dogs love these natural chicken training treats - great for recall in the park.
Pet Munchies Chicken Dog Training Treats
I love this for keeping my phone safe and close at hand. It makes answering calls easy without rummaging around in my handbag, and wearing it crossbody makes phone theft much harder. I also used one for Dad so he could always have his phone with him.
UEEBAI Crossbody Lanyard Phone case for iPhone 17
