I'm going back to work next month after maternity leave and am looking for a new bag. I'm really not sure what to get, and before I left, I was carting around several bags at one time as I seem to take an awful lot of stuff! My main concern with a bag is that my water/ice packs are separate from my electronics in case of leakage. I was wondering about a smart-ish backpack but not sure? Or would two separate bags be the best option? Any ideas?
My budget is tight (around £50) but I could possibly use one of my existing bags if someone found a great lunch bag for example.
Colour wise I prefer brown/tan but not super fussed as long as it's not too garish. I like florals too. Not a fan of cheap looking bags (I know....my budget is cheap!) or anything with fake metal bits on it.
Things I need to take are:
- lunch plus ice packs to keep it cool
- 2 bottles of water
- ipad
- phone
- e-reader
- charging cables
- medication
- tissues
- sanpro
- umbrella (sometimes)
- pen/notepad
- small odds and end (nothing major - hand sanitiser, gum etc)
If anyone has seen anything that may be suitable I will be very grateful indeed!
