Help me find a small black purse? Gift idea for boss?

[applecrispy]

My Mom has a small black purse that she uses (hopefully the picture attached) that the strap finally broke on. She uses it to put her cell phone, wallet and toiletries in when she doesn't want to lug her purse around. Any ideas on something similar?

At work I exchange gifts with some coworkers and my boss. I've got my coworkers covered but I never know what to get my boss. His birthday was a few months ago and I got him lottery tickets and his favorite candy. He's an avid bicyclist and hiker but he has really high-end stuff for that. My budget is $15-$20. I don't want to do a gift card. He doesn't drink coffee, tea or alcohol. Any ideas?

What do you want to spend on your mom's purse? If she's like me and doesn't do designer bags and isn't particularly brand-loyal then personally I'd just browse in TJ Maxx/Marshall's  - or Nordstrom Rack if your budget is on the higher end - and pick out something in your price range.

I got a basic black Relic bag as a gift, years ago. At first I kind of set it aside, but then I pulled it out when I needed a small cross-body for travel. It's held up surprisingly well and I use it very often. Kohl's has a bunch. I picked this one as an example because it has the same name as my cat, lol: www.kohls.com/product/prd-3358112/rosetti-midge-crossbody-bag.jsp?color=Black&prdPV=29

I also have a Fossil cross-body I bought for a trip to Europe in 2010. It's held up well and I'm actually carrying it today. I went to their website to look, and this one is nice: www.fossil.com/us/en/products/maya-small-crossbody-sku-zb7615001c.html 

For your boss ... an emergency phone charger? I've had this Anker charger for years and it can get a phone to 100% before it needs to be charged again. IDK if this model is outdated (cord may be sold separately?) but I'm sure you can find something similar in the $20 range: www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-Technology/dp/B01CU1EC6Y?ref_=w_bl_hsx_s_wi_web_2528932011%C2%A0

Do you think a toiletry bag might work? www.ebags.com/product/ebags/portage-medium-toiletry-kit/323683?productid=10472639 

How about an umbrella? I feel like those are always useful, as long as you get one that doesn't immediately turn inside out in the wind. Either a big golf umbrella, or a compact travel size: www.tripsavvy.com/best-golf-umbrellas-4154911

mbcdefg , she is not brand loyal nor does she care about the brand so TJ Maxx or Kohls would be perfect! I always forget to check TJ Maxx. I'm looking to spend under $30 for the purse. Love the phone charger idea for my boss too! Thank you!
