Cute Little Extras
freshen up essential
this is such an easy one to throw in your bag. perfect for adding a quick glossy touch to your lips whenever you’re out, and it takes basically no space. definitely one of those little products you’ll be happy you packed.
Glow Reviver Lip Oil Glimmer
having a tiny mirror in your handbag is honestly a lifesaver. this one is even better because you’ve got a comb and mirror together, so you can quickly fix your hair or check your makeup wherever you are.
Travel Mirrors for On-the-Go Beauty
these are perfect for keeping your breath fresh without carrying around a whole bottle of mouthwash. just throw a few in your bag and you’re sorted after meals or before going somewhere important.
LISTERINE® On-the-Go Breath Fresheners POCKETPAKS ...
a lip product is basically non-negotiable for my handbag wishlist. this is the kind of little beauty item that makes sense to keep with you for quick touch-ups whenever you’re out.
Anthropologie Lip Oil
I’d definitely keep a lip balm like this in my handbag because somehow dry lips always happen when you’re away from home. it’s small, easy to grab and gives you that moisturised glossy look at the same time.
Best Korean Lip Balm: Lip Glowy Balm in Fun Scents | LANEIGE
I swear everyone needs a lip balm in their bag. there’s nothing worse than being out and suddenly having dry lips, so having one you can quickly grab whenever you need it is a must.

if you carry a power bank, you definitely need a cable too. a multi-charging cable is especially handy when you have different devices because you don’t need to carry a bunch of separate cords.
3-in-1 USB-A to USB-C/Micro USB/Lightning Charging Cable (Red)
I always think it’s better to have one and not need it than need one and not have it. keep a small wall charger in your bag and you’re covered whenever you find a power point while you’re out.
USB Charger
perfect for music, podcasts, calls or just putting your headphones in when you need a little peace. they’re small enough to live in your handbag without taking up much room.
Soundcore P20i True Wireless Earbuds Big Bass Bluetooth ...
such a smart little thing to keep with your everyday essentials. attach one to your bag or keys and you’ll have a much easier time finding them when you inevitably forget where you put them.
Apple AirTag Trackers
this is exactly the kind of thing I’d throw into my handbag before leaving the house. the built-in USB-C cable means you don’t have to carry a separate cord, which is perfect when you’re trying to keep your bag from becoming a giant mess.
Anker Nano Power Bank (5000mAh, 22.5W) w/ Built in ...
this is one of those “I probably won’t need it until I REALLY need it” products. I’d keep one in my travel bag so I’m never stuck trying to find the right adapter while overseas. The compact design makes it much easier to pack.
Travel Converters & Adapters (210)
Bag + Organisation
this is such a good option when you don’t want to carry a huge handbag. it’s compact but still gives you somewhere to keep your phone, cards, keys and little essentials when you’re out. It’s also one of the lululemon bags repeatedly featured on Benab...
Everywhere Belt Bag 1L | Men's Bags,Purses,Wallets | lululemon
if the regular belt bag is a little too small for you, this is the one I’d look at. you get extra room without jumping all the way up to a giant handbag, which makes it really useful for travel and everyday errands.
Everywhere Belt Bag Large 2L
such a good little everyday bag if you prefer something sporty and simple. the separate zip pockets are especially handy for keeping your smaller things organised instead of having everything disappear to the bottom of your bag.
Nike Sportswear Essentials Crossbody Bag
this one’s perfect if your “handbag” sometimes turns into a whole survival kit. the extra space makes it useful for uni, work, gym days or travelling when a tiny purse just isn’t going to cut it.
Nike Academy Team Backpack 30L Red Durable Sports Soccer Bag ...
if you’re looking for a proper everyday handbag rather than just little accessories, this is such a pretty option. the mini shape makes it feel cute and easy to style while still giving you room for your essentials.
Mini Buckle-Strap Tote
Cute Little Extras
okay, this is for making your bag actually feel like YOUR bag. I love personalised little accessories because they add personality without needing to replace the whole handbag.
Name Chain Rope Bag Charm
such a cute little detail for a plain handbag or belt bag. the personalised initial makes it feel way more special than a random keychain you grabbed at the checkout.
Gold Sun Keychain
if you’re going for that cute, girly handbag aesthetic, this is exactly the kind of little accessory I’d add. the bow detail makes even a basic bag look more styled.
