Would like a nice new overnight bag for my hospital bag... Suggestions where to buy?

I've got it in my head that I would like a new bag for my hospital bag. People have told me at pointless and all that but it's just something id like to do :-)

Where did you get your hospital bags? What did you use? :-)

I got mine from Matalan! It's just a black hold all but its apparently the lightest in the world lol! It was only £15 too

I'm more for practicality than style

I'm just using an old pull along small suitcase. However, I WAS going to buy a radley bag. Went in to the shop but came out with a changing bag instead hehe. Depends on your budget really, you could look in primark as they have some pretty bags which are large enough. I am planning on going to matalan this weekend so I think I will have a nosy at their bags. Although I have the old suitcase thing I'd prefer a new bag but don't want to spend much on it after buying the changing bag....

Another good place to look are outlets. My local one has about 3 or 4 bag places. From purses to giant suitcases so it might be worth looking in to that

To add to my previous post

I went to Matalan and came back with a weekend bag. It cost 10 pounds and holds loads of stuff. So I am happy

I've been thinking the same thing! And your post prompted me to make a decision! I was going to go for a Cath Kidston one. However, after typing overnight/travel bags into google for ages, in the end, I've gone for this one!

How did you manage to fit it all in one bag I have four lol

Nibeley · Mar 2nd, 2013, 11:54 AM

I got this for xmas http://www.thefabulousgiftstore.co.u...g#.UTI8bFdRLIw as I wanted a nice one that I would use lots after the birth. I also got the matching cosmetics and make up bags.

Tulip and Nibeley they are both nice bags

Hungary

about your four bags!! I will be taking two in total, one for my stuff and the other for LO's. There are things I won't be taking though so mine is just the essentials. I literally live a 5 minute drive up the road so anything extra I need my OH can go and get for me. All my toiletries are minuture to save space too

Hi

I bought a small suitcase on wheels from Cath Kidston - sounds extreme but it's only hand luggage sized, honestly! I'm in for 1-2 nights after the birth as I have GD, so I treated myself at 16 weeks after I found out to cheer myself up! I bought it on sale though so it wasn't quite as much as it states online (http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/p-18539...errer=category). I've put my overnight stuff in that along with baby's things for a few days (we don't live near to the hospital, so had to make sure that we were prepared), plus I have an old Fat Face shoulder bag for the delivery stuff, which is all quite minimal.

I don't think that buying yourself a bag is pointless if you're going to use it afterwards! I go away a few times a year to visit friends and family so I'll be getting some use out of mine, and needed a new bag anyway. I have been surprised at how little space I actually need though (started packing mine in dribs and drabs, not much left to put in) and I don't really understand the need for loads of stuff! x
