You know the drill. Suitcase open, socks in, passport zipped up… and then it hits: that tiny wave of panic. What am I forgetting for my holiday? Especially when it comes to toiletries for travelling. Relax – we’ve got your bag.
With this ultimate toiletries list, you’ll never leave your razor or toothbrush behind again. Whether you’re wild camping in the Ardennes or sipping cocktails on a beach in Portugal – this checklist has your back.

Pro tip: Make your own toiletries checklist
Want to really do it right? Make your own toiletries list – yep, one with little checkboxes. Add whatever you truly need. It’ll save you last-minute stress at the airport – and your face will thank you in those first holiday pics.
Our tip: pack smart
Use a toiletries bag with compartments so you’re not rummaging around for your razor or toothpaste. Liquids? In a ziplock. And keep that checklist close. Future-you will be glad you did.
