As the city gears up for its annual Girls’ Day Out weekend - which proves to be a sellout each year - organisers have have sought to look at what Scots ladies can’t live without in their handbag - with some surprising results.

Not-so-surprisingly, the number one item is their mobile phone (81%).

From a poll of 100, 69% said a purse, bank card, or money would be in their top five, with 49% unable to get through the day without a lipstick, lip gloss, or lip balm.

Coming in at fourth place were keys - 45 women said these were always in their bag.

In fifth place was ever-dependable perfume, which 23% admitted to carrying at all times.

Some of the more peculiar answers were dog bags and dog treats.

Despite living in Scotland, only three per cent said an umbrella was a staple of their handbag, with just as many carrying sunglasses.

One woman couldn’t live without her tea, carrying her own tea bags, while another wouldn’t be caught leaving home without her healing crystals.

Other interesting highlights included fidget spinners, an avocado knife, and anti-sickness tablets.

There will be over 200 exhibitors with the latest products, trends, styles and make up techniques, making it one of the biggest Girls’ Days Out yet.

Exhibitors include Debenhams, FakeBake, and Manhattan Nails who will be on hand to get ladies’ ready for the party season.

Last year, the Saturday show was a sellout, so goers are being urged to book early to avoid disappointment.

Tickets start at £16 and are being sold at girlsdayoutshow.co.uk.
