Does your purse feel like a bottomless pit that’s full of stuff you don’t actually use? You’re definitely not alone. Lots of us have to dig through old receipts, crumpled napkins and other random items to find what we’re looking for, but we still worry that when we take things out, we won’t have what we need, when we need it.

The thing is, our purses should be functional and according to Evie Magazinethis is a guide as to what deserves a spot in your bag on a daily basis:

Lip products

Even the tiniest purse should have room for your favorite lippie, whether it’s a lip balm, gloss or lipstick.

Makeup for touch-ups

When you’re on the go, having blotting papers, mini mascara and concealer can really come in handy.

Hand sanitizer

You need it before you eat, after you handle money and sometimes after touching gross things out in the world, so no purse should be without hand sanitizer.

Hair ties

If you use them, go ahead and take the one off your wrist and stash it in your purse instead.

Mints

If fresh breath is a priority in your life, a tiny tin of mints can be a lifesaver.

A small notebook and pen

When you need to keep track of something and your phone isn’t charged, you’ll be so glad to have something to write on and with.

Travel size fragrance

Whether it’s after-work drinks or an impromptu date or girls’ night out, you never know when you’ll want a spritz of your favorite fragrance.

Feminine products

Having a little pouch for period products could help you or some other woman in need.

Pain reliever

If you’re out shopping or enjoying a night out, a headache or cramps can ruin a good time, but having a small bottle of Tylenol or ibuprofen can save you.
