Water Purifying Bottle

For many travellers, any health issues that are experienced whilst abroad can be put down to drinking contaminated water. So, to avoid this, you need some sort of water purification system whilst abroad. Of course this isn’t necessary in every country, but be sure to check before heading to the airport. The locations most likely to be problematic are the Middle East, America, Africa or Asia, so make it a priority to do your research if you are visiting one of these locations. Fear not, as GRAYL’s Ultralight Purifier is capable of turning almost any clear natural water source into drinking water in just 15 seconds. It provides protection against all sorts of dangerous viruses and bacteria in water, so you will feel safe drinking water on the go. 

Foot Warmers

It’s unlikely that you’ll need this one if you’re going on a beach holiday, but for those of you heading for a ski resort, these ThermaCELL Heated Insoles will take your comfort to the next level, keeping them warm and dry thanks to the water-resistant fabric lining.

Now this one might not be an essential but will certainly come in handy. This Carry On Cocktail Kit is equipped with everything you need to craft cocktails in style. Whether you’re a fan of Gin, Bloody Mary’s or Moscow Mule’s, you will have supplies for a tipple or two in an emergency!
