Hi holidaymakers, are you ready for the vacation? While Christmas and New year are around the corner, you may be preparing for your big getaway of the season. To ease the stress of packing and save you time, we’ve rounded up the 10 travel essentials for your travel checklist.
Here are the 10 must-have travel essentials.
1. Toothpaste and Toothbrush
Travel essential number one! Even though you can use toothpaste and toothbrush prepared by the hotel, it’s better to bring your own as it helps to reduce the waste of disposable personal care products.
This Darlie Double Action Travel Kit contains a Darlie Double Action Toothpaste and a Darlie Soft Clean Toothbrush. It’s very compact and packed with a transparent bag that you can pack in a tooth floss too.
2. Mini Hankie
A mini hankie is always a must-have item of the travel essentials. During travel, you may need to clean your hands and mouth after your meal or use it to hold the handle in public transportation for hygiene purpose. At that time, you may not find a bathroom to tidy up, so make sure to pack WATSONS Xflower Mini Hankie or Watsons Forest-Friendly 3ply Bamboo Mini Hankies in your luggage.
3. First Aid Kit
Bringing a small first aid kit is always necessary to care for mild illnesses and injuries. It is recommended to bring along these basic first-aid items for your vacation:
- Pain reliever
- Bandages/gauze & medical tape
- Scissors
- Antihistamines
- Antibiotics
- Medication for allergy, motion sickness, diarrhoea
The Watsons First Aid Kit includes antiseptic cream, bandage, non-foldable scissors medicated oil etc. which you could consider adding to into your travel checklist.
4. Razor
A handy razor is a great helper in managing men’s facial fuzz. Whether you have a beard or not, shaving and trimming can keep unsightly facial hairs at bay. Gillette Labs Razor Blade surely will be your best buddy to keep your look smart all day! Don’t forget to prep your skin with shaving cream or oil before you shave.

5. Hair Oil
Frizzy hair? Hair oil will be your right answer! Using heat styling or colouring too often will damage our hair, resulting in dryness or split ends.
That’s why you need a hair oil like L’OREAL PARIS ELSEVE Extraordinary Oil Hair Treatment. The lightweight texture can be absorbed into the hair quickly, leaving your hair smooth and radiantly shiny.
Here are 5 ways to fix frizzy hair.
6. Make-up sponge
A foundation sponge helps to blend the foundation more seamlessly and naturally. You can build up the make-up looks from sheer to full coverage with Watsons Foundation Sponge. It works well with a lightweight liquid or creamy foundation.
Below are the different types of foundation sponge.
7. Baby care
When travelling with a little kid or a newborn, a gentle body and hair wash and lotion is very important. You should be more aware of the ingredients and chemicals in the products since baby’s skin is very sensitive and delicate.
The Cetaphil Baby Travel Kit includes Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo and Cetaphil Baby Daily Lotion which are recommended by paediatricians and dermatologically tested. It is also free from Paraben and mineral oil.
8. Shower Gel
Even though you can find basic personal care products in a hotel room, it is more personalised and suitable for your skin type if you bring your own. Therefore, you should consider bringing a skincare travel kit.
The Sebamed Travel Pack set contains Face & Body Wash, face cream and face scrub. This travel skincare set can help you to keep your skin glowing on the go.
9. Body Scrubber
Apart from your face, the skin on your body also needs extra care. So, the body scrubber is one the travel essentials you should not miss. Scrubs can buff away the dead skin cell, leaving your skin a brighter and smoother complexion.
Afterspa Exfoliating Body Scrubber is suitable for all skin types. This sponge can exfoliate your skin easily during shower time.
10. Contact Lens Solution
When travelling, you probably want to wear contact lenses to get better vision and a natural appearance without glasses. In that case, you will need a contact lens solution that will provide healthy and comfort long-lasting lens-wearing.
The AMO Multipurpose solution helps to keep hygiene and comfort when you wear the contact lens. It can clean, disinfect, and store contact lenses.
