Organizing your purse is pretty easy to do. Start by emptying your bag and determining what should remain in the bag, what you want to keep but not necessarily in your purse, and what needs to be thrown out. Then put the items in their appropriate places.

Now, organizing your handbag can go further especially if you have an organizer bag. Organizer handbags are bags (often cross body or shoulder bags) that have features and pockets that hold all of your purse contents in place. These can include cell phone pocket, key fob, coin purse, id window, credit card slots, and more. Top organizer bag brands include Baggallini, Derek Alexander, Osgoode Marley, and TOKYOBay.

What do you do if you want to organize your bag but it isn’t an organizer handbag? Or what should you do if you change purses often? You should use a purse organizer insert. Purse organizer inserts are pouches that form to the inside of your purse and are designed not only to provide the organization you need that your purse doesn’t currently have, but also to allow you to transfer your purse contents easily from one bag to another. Top brands of purse organizers include Lisa David Designs and PurseN.

Picking out a handbag as a gift can be tough, but once you’ve found one, the going gets easier. As women, we all know that a handbag is one thing, but what we put into it is a completely different matter. So guys, here’s something to help you out with finding some nifty stocking–or bag–stuffers to complement your girl’s handbag:

 The “Clipa”:  A girl’s handbag is a little like a guy’s favorite golfing cap–we don’t like to leave it on the ground. Handbags can be a pretty hefty investment. So if you know someone who always thinks twice before placing their bag on the ground, consider this stocking stuffer. The Clipa is ring that can go around the strap of a handbag. This nifty tool is an instant bag hanger. Whether it’s on the back of a chair or on the edge of a table, the Clipa keeps handbags off of the ground and spotless, saving your mom, your girlfriend, or your buddy the trouble of finding a place to put it.

Inserts: Even though we probably do it more than we need to, it is NOT a girl’s favorite past-time to go digging through her purse. Which is why handbag inserts are sometimes necessary to keep us sane. If you know that special someone has issues with finding their pen, or heaven forbid their phone, it’s time to look into some inserts for their handbag. If you’re a guy and you really think about it, a handbag insert is probably both beneficial to your girl AND you. After all, you might not have to wait as long on the other end of the phone as she’s digging through a black hole trying to answer your call.

Here are some other handy-dandy stocking stuffers under $20 that you can consider:

Cosmetic bags (sometimes known as makeup bags) and cosmetic cases (sometimes called beauty cases or train cases) are essential. They keep makeup organized and protect your bag and its contents from accidental spills and smudges. The difference between cases and bags is sometimes a fine line, but generally cosmetic bags are smaller pouches designed to hold just the essentials in a larger bag like a handbag. A cosmetic case, on the other hand, tends to be a larger bag that holds more makeup and is used during travel. Cosmetic cases are also great for makeup storage at home. Afterall, if you organize your makeup in your handbag, it doesn’t make sense to stash it haphazardly in a drawer at home.

Cosmetic bags and cases make wonderful gifts for just about any woman since many come in beautiful styles. Some bags even come in sets that are bundled together for that “gift” look.

Check out some of our favorite cosmetic bags and cosmetic cases below.

Makeup bags are a fantastic way to keep all of your cosmetics in order and within reach, while protecting them from getting dirty or destroyed. We have all experienced the dreaded lint ball stuck to our tube of lipgloss, which inadvertently lost its cap somewhere in the depths of our hobos. Or we’ve dug down deep into a carryall to find fragments of our compact, powder, and mirror from the last time we dropped our bag.

Let’s face it, makeup can wreak havoc on the interior of your purse…and on your sanity when you can’t find your eyelash curler and your date is impatiently ringing the doorbell. Keeping everything tidy in a makeup case is a no brainer, and the perfect excuse to go out and buy yet another cute something for yourself!

Makeup cases come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, much like their larger counterparts. If you carry a hot handbag, then you are definitely going to want to carry a fabulous makeup bag as well, and finding a cosmetics bags that you’ll love is an easy feat to accomplish.

Makeup bags are a true beauty essential. With so many great choices on the market, why on earth would anyone want to continue doing the mad hunt for their blush brush when they could keep it well stored and clean in a makeup bag? And if you are one to opt for Ziploc bags to keep your beauty items together, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to something you won’t be embarrassed to pull out in the ladies room when you go to powder your nose. Get thee a makeup bag and be happy!
