Whether you're a tote-all-the-things kind of person or a minimalist crossbody lover, I’m so curious what your non-negotiables are when it comes to what goes in your purse. I’m looking to refresh what I carry around daily and want to know what items you've found genuinely useful, clever, or even just comforting to have on you.
Hand cream is my non-negotiable purse essential — I always have one tucked in every bag I own. Between constant handwashing, dry office air, and on-the-go life chaos, my hands get wrecked fast. I need something that hydrates without being greasy, and bonus points if it smells amazing without being overpowering.
That’s why I’m obsessed with the Huxley Perfumed Hand Cream Collection from Costco. Such a great value. The formula is super lightweight but nourishing, and the scent profiles are so refined — think spa vibes meets niche fragrance. I rotate between “Moroccan Gardener”, “Sunset Fog,”, and "Port Breath" depending on my mood. They feel like a treat every time I reapply. The Costco set gives you multiple tubes for a great value, so I can stash one in my purse, car, and diaper bag without guilt. If you want hand cream that feels elegant but functional, Huxley's is it.
I keep a packet of Welly Quick Fix bandages in fun prints because someone always needs one. The case is this cute, compact tin that doesn’t look like your typical first aid box, and it’s packed with colorful bandages, ointment packets, and wipes — all individually wrapped and super easy to grab. I’ve used it for everything from surprise blisters to random scrapes. It doesn’t take up much space, and people are always surprised when I pull it out like a mini lifesaver kit.
