Clothespins, lollipops and a lunch box: 10 non-obvious things you need to put in your suitcase for a comfortable vacation
When going on vacation, we are always guided by one principle: pack only the most important and necessary things in your suitcase. Typically these include clothing including dresses and polo shirts, shoes, emergency medications and documents. Sometimes we supplement this usual list with care products (so as not to buy full bottles on the spot), some accessories (for example, hats, belts, clutches - to look beautiful), in rare cases we take dishes and bedding (if we travel by car).
However, sometimes, when we are already walking around in place, we are missing something. Check out the list below to make your vacation comfortable and worry-free. And so as not to look for these little things throughout the city in which you are vacationing, or even somewhere on the edge of the planet.

Clothespins
Oh, how many swimsuits and towels flew away with a gust of refreshing wind near the Turkish or Thai coast... I can’t count them! That’s why we need to remember that in such situations, nothing more effective than simple and native clothespins has yet been invented.
In addition, they can be used to secure other things: pareos, hats, bedding, washed linen. And nothing will fly away anywhere.
Earplugs
There are different cases: noisy neighbors, active children, renovations in a neighboring house, cheerful animators, a disco... But on vacation you really want to get some sleep.In order not to freak out again from lack of sleep, put earplugs in your suitcase - they take up less space than a comb, which we always try to take with us.
Corkscrew
In fact, our man always takes a corkscrew with him everywhere and always. But when getting ready to go on vacation, for some reason he always forgets it. Be sure to grab this thing - in case you want to drink something semi-sweet red on the evening beach.
By the way, sometimes you simply cannot find a corkscrew in hotel rooms. Should I buy something? Well, it’s easier to take it with you - it won’t take up much space.
Insect repellent
Many people mistakenly believe that mosquitoes are exclusively inhabitants of forested areas. But this is absolutely not true. These insects can fly even in the desert or jungle, and therefore you need to protect yourself from them in advance.
In order not to run to pharmacies at your destination and not spend money (and in some countries, mosquito repellents are either not found at all, or with difficulty, or you have to pay a fabulous amount for them), take with you a spray and a fumigator with plates - and may it arrive with happiness to you!
Huge beach bag
And this thing will become simply irreplaceable if you travel with children. In this case, getting ready for the beach is a separate quest that should be completed proudly and without loss.
Sunblock, sunblock, sun lotion, toys, towels, hats, wet wipes, a book, sunglasses for everyone in the family, cookies for snacking, a couple of bottles of water, spare swim trunks - all this is unlikely to fit in an elegant clutch , which you want to take with you on an evening walk. A beach bag (and a bigger one!) would be much better in this situation.
Launch Box
But a small container will come in handy in several cases.
- In the same situation when you go to the beach with children - put cookies, straws, crackers or chopped apple there.
- If you are traveling on an all-inclusive basis. Naturally, you can find food around the clock and whatever your heart desires, but what if you want to take it to the beach. This is where a lunch box comes in handy. You can also load it with food when going on an excursion.
Lollipops
They will come in handy if you are traveling by car or plane. It was not for nothing that sour lollipops were handed out on board before takeoff and landing - they significantly alleviate the condition when motion sickness occurs (for both children and adults).
And in the car they will save the day if a child gets seasick, and you don’t really want to stop on the highway (even at night).
Cosmetics for feet
Feet can react not only to climate change, but also to long walks (swelling, dryness, calluses and other troubles). It’s better to take something from home with you in advance to moisturize, nourish and protect (cream, spray), so as not to suffer later.
Drops for eyes and ears
Even if you have never had problems with your eyes and ears, they can start to hurt from water, from air conditioning, from wind, and from sand.
It is better to take drops with you (universal - for both eyes and ears) to alleviate your condition later.
Adapter for socket
High-level hotels usually have standard sockets or adapters. However, it is better to take an extra one with you if you are going to the ends of the world and doubt that there are conditions for your gadgets there.
These are simple things that you can take with you - they definitely won’t take up much space in your suitcase. What would you add to this list?
