Small practical bag for DD10

12 replies

TimeToInterfere · 01/09/2022 06:39

Looking for some ideas for a small handbag for DD10. Needs to be robust as she has a tendency to randomly climb trees and the like. She has a backpack for e.g. sports kit but am looking for something a bit smaller. To carry phone and wallet when she's off round to a friends house and a backpack is overkill.
What do your DC's use if they're off to the park with friends or into town?

How about a little Kipling?

I'd take her to TK Max and let her pick something. Loads of choice there.

Mine has a small cross body bag.

No one seems to have bags now. They just have their phones and stick some cash in their jeans pockets or down the back of their phone case. Once they’re old enough it’s all tap and go anyway.
If she’s 10 your daughter will have an idea of what she wants/ likes.

@Sooverthisnow her favourite trousers don't have pockets 🙄She is very uninterested in anything like clothes and bags and told me to choose something for her. Of course, if she doesn't like it, she won't use it!

@Neverplayleapfrogwithaunicorn Thanks, I'll ask her if she likes that.

A bumbag sounds like it would do the job.

Mine have small cross body bags from primark.

Kipling bags last literally forever so make sure she really does like it. I have been using a large Kipling bag almost daily for over a decade now. It has survived bike crashes and being dumped on the floor/the beach/anywhere for all that time. The only thing I would say is the white is struggling to stay white now (but the other colours are fine so don't feel you have to stick with black).

A mini backpack instead of her larger one? So she can still be hands free and climb trees!

Bum bags worn as cross body bags seem to be popular around here.

Windtook phone bags on Amazon

A crossbody 'festival' bag, Addidas or Nike are popular around here, or a bumbag worn across the body. They are really useful and practical
and I have been borrowing the DC's.
