The Brainstream SOI purse light aims to solve the issue of digging through dark pockets without being able to see what's in them. The size of the palm of your hand, this lightweight light is activated by motion to turn on for 10 seconds at a time so you can get a clear view of your bag's contents. The included batteries are rechargeable.

Promising review: "Every dark satchel and back pack needs one of these! It lights up only once you reach to search the dark depths.
It’s been in use for a month though these dark days and nights, it’s been worth every penny - this light will lower the stress in your life!

Also works as an as needed night light sitting on the night stand." — Jessica

With 4.5 stars across over 31,000 ratings, the Omystyle purse organizer insert is a crowd-pleasing way to organize your bag. This insert comes in a bunch of colors and six sizes so you can match it to your purse, and has 13 compartments to give single-compartment totes or other disorganized bags some much-needed structure. Best of all, if you have two bags in the same size, you can lift the insert out of one and put it in the other without needing to separately transfer over all of your belongings and risk forgetting something.

Promising review: "I didn’t know how much I needed this, until I got it. The XL fits in my LV on-the-go GM. My stuff if so organized now. Everything has a home. My purses were always messy with things rolling around. This has so many pockets, it’s a thick quality material and it doesn’t slide around in your bag. Highly recommended." — Chelsey Arnold Buhr

If you're regularly digging at the bottom of a purse or backpack, it’s practically guaranteed that your fingers will brush against old crumbs, dust or dirt. Gross. Enter the Clean Ball, a small, sticky plastic and rubber ball you can toss into your bag to glom onto all of that undesired mess. The ball pops apart, so you can rinse it off with water once it picks up enough stuff and then reuse it over and over. Grab your own Clean Ball in five colors, or get a three-pack to have one for multiple bags.

Promising review: "I purchased the pink one in March 2023. I received it and truly didn’t think it would work but threw it in my purse and then kind of forgot about it. After a while, I noticed that my crazy purse remained clean. I thought it was odd until I saw the ball with some of the junk that trashes my purse stuck inside the plastic cage. It totally worked! I was afraid of cracking the cage to clean it but it snapped open and closed nicely. Cleaning the sticky ball inside was also easy, I just ran it under warm water and it was done. I have cleaned this now three times and it still collects stuff including sugar crystals that spilled in my purse! Super easy to use, the $11 it cost was totally worth it, and the golf ball sized pink ball is a super cute pink. You will not regret this purchase that seems to be long lasting. I am at 18 months with my purchase and going strong!" — edtech4genz

The Kwmobile bag hanger is a foldable hook with a non-slip bottom, so you can hang your bag off of a restaurant table, bar top or other surfaces where you might be low on hooks. This way, you won't have to hang your purse off the back of a chair, which can mean dealing with the inevitable slide down that jumbles the contents of your bag, or on a dirty floor. The hooks, which come in a ton of color combinations, also fold down into small, flat circles that are easy to store away.

While the Kwmobile hooks require a flat surface to balance on, the Clipa bag hanger is ring-shaped and can work in places like bathroom stalls that don't have hooks, or in your car, as pictured here. Again, the hanger makes it easy to keep your bag upright so your contents stay put, and the bag stays in place if you do need to look through it. The Clipa comes in nine finishes and can hold up to 33 pounds.

Promising review: "I always wanted one of those folding purse holders but wasn't loving how they looked. This one caught my eye and my friend and I love these! The little silicone tips that contacts the table surface helps your purse stay put if you're digging for something while its hanging from the table. I also hung it from the toilet seat cover dispenser so it wasn't where someone could grab it off the hook in a public bathroom stall. I don't have to dig it out of my purse, it stays on the strap loop and is ready to use." — N.P.

If you have a single-compartment backpack, the Hoyofo backpack organizer insert can make sure your things are separated and easy to access. Available in four colors and two sizes, the waterproof insert has multiple pockets, including a zipper bag for valuables, two mesh slots, two elastic pockets and four open pockets.

Again, an insert like this is great if you switch between multiple bags of the same size, because you can easily transfer all your things without messing up the organization.

Storing a bunch of different chargers, flash drives and other tech accessories with all their parts can be a headache if you want to avoid tangled wires adding to the chaos of your bag. This bestselling travel cable organizer can cut down on clutter by providing a home for any cords, power banks, USB drives and more, with separated mesh pockets to keep the electronics from getting mixed up.

The pouch is waterproof and has a hand strap for easy carrying if you need to take it out. It comes in a bunch of different colors and three sizes.

Promising review: "When I travel I usually have my charger, cords, phone adapters in my bookbag. Then when I need it I have to dig in my bag to get something and sometimes it's hard to find. Now that I have this hand-dandy organizer I can look for all my phone accessories in one place. I just used this on my recent trip and man it came in handy. I took it out of my bag, unzipped it and there were my things in one place. It actually put a smile on my face." — Mitchel Wright

A four-pack of faux leather pouches like this can also hold any items you want to keep organized and separate (think: cash, makeup that could spill, headphones you want to keep safe, extra credit cards... you get the idea). The bags have a magnetic closure so you don't have to do the work of zipping and unzipping every time, and are roughly four inches wide, so you can fit multiple into a bag, depending on its size. The four-pack comes in three different color combos.

If you've hopped on the Bogg bag trend, you know that keeping such a large rubber tote organized can be tricky. This plastic divider tray two-pack can come in handy, though. The trays are specifically designed for Bogg bags and come in five colors that match classic Bogg colorways.

You can use the trays vertically or horizontally to stack items, or separate wet things from dry (or items like shoes from food). One reviewer even used a tray as a makeshift table and was able to rest three water bottles on it with no issues. The trays have pegs on the end that fit into Bogg bags' holes to stay securely in place.

Promising review: "I absolutely love my Bogg Bag dividers! They’ve transformed my bag into an organized haven, making it so much easier to find everything I need. The quality is top-notch, and they fit perfectly, giving my Bogg Bag a whole new level of functionality. A must-have for anyone who loves to stay organized on the go!" — Haley

It's always the keys, isn't it? There's nothing like getting home after a long day and being so close to relaxing... but first, you have to dig your keys up from the abyss of your bag. This six-pack of carabiner clips can help with that. Made of strong, lightweight aluminum, you can attach a carabiner to your purse and hang a set of keys on it so they won't move around in your bag.

Over 15,000 reviewers have given these a 5-star stamp of approval, and the use case of keeping keys from getting lost in a bag is a common praise point.

For even more organization, keep all your keys in one place — and easily attach them so they can't fall to the bottom of your bag — with this handy key ring organizer. Each key goes on its own releasable ring (the organizer comes with six), so individual keys can easily be taken off or added on. As one reviewer pointed out, this "Makes taking just a single key off my chain instant and easy -- important when you only have one car key but three drivers." Reviewers also say the organizer is durable and lasts for years, even a decade.

We've covered reusable Stasher bags before, for their ability to save people money and waste on single-use plastic bags. But while these are great for produce or snacks, they can also be used to hold a phone, cash or other items you may want to take with you on the go and keep in their own place. This version, called the Go Bag, comes with a carabiner to attach to your purse or backpack for easy storage and access. It has the same pinch-lock seal you know and love Stasher for, and is dishwasher-, microwave- and oven-safe up to 425 degrees. It measures about eight inches in height and over five inches in width — enough to hold a box's worth of crayons, multiple beauty items or two iPhones like in the image here.
