The invention provides an insert for inserting internally into a carrier bag having side walls and a base, the insert comprising a container stand portion, adapted, in use, to abut with the side walls and base of the carrier bag so as to maintain a substantially fixed position relative to the carrier bag and having a base portion; and connected to said base portion, an upper container receiving portion to receive and hold at least one container having a base, a top end and an intermediate body portion; and at least two opposing support members, each support member connecting one of opposing sides of the base portion with respective opposing sides of the upper container receiving portion, the support members being arranged, in use, to hold the upper container receiving portion spaced from, and above the base portion so that said container can be inserted into said upper container receiving portion so that the at least one container cannot substantially move relative to the stand portion and at least part of the at least one container extends above the stand portion. The insert may further comprise an item support stand portion having an item support portion on which an item can be carried and at least one leg portion, the item support stand being arranged, in use, to stand upon the container stand portion, by extending past the at least part of the at least one container extending above the stand portion, the item support portion, being arranged to form a barrier between the item and the top of the at least one container so as to support the item when the bag is carried. The insert may be used to carry one or more containers containing liquids and/or food items whereby the container is maintained in a substantially upright position relative to the bag and the food item or items are held separately from the container(s).
