We found the Silica Gel Bag on XOhalo.com for US$35 and it comes with free shipping. The bag comes in three colours, white, black and a pretty pastel pink. We still think that the classic white package is still the funniest as its the most recognizable.
The bag measures at 7.8″ (20cm) by 8.7″ (22cm), which easily fits all your festival essentials. According to the picture on the website, you can put your phone, card holder, what looks like a tube of candy, and even a sneaky bottle of perfume.
