You’ve got your passport, money, sunhat, and favourite sandals — so you’re ready for your trip, right?
Well… almost.
When it comes to packing for a holiday whether it’s abroad or in the UK, it’s easy to remember the obvious essentials. But some of the most helpful items are the ones you only realise you needed when it’s too late. From small comforts to practical problem-solvers.
Tooth Repair Kit
A chipped filling or cracked crown while abroad? It happens more than you think. A temporary dental repair kit from Dentek takes up hardly any space and can save you a trip until you reach a professional.
Collapsible Laundry Bag or Wet/Dry Bag
Keep dirty or damp clothes separate from the rest of your luggage — especially if you’re hitting the beach, hiking, or changing accommodations as it can make them smell musty.
Multi-Port USB Charger or Power Strip
Hotels often have one awkwardly placed socket. A small charging hub saves time and stress especially if you’re travelling with others
Mini First Aid Kit
Include blister plasters, antiseptic wipes, painkillers, anti-diarrhoeal tablets, and antihistamines. You’ll thank yourself when you’re not hunting for a pharmacy at midnight.
Solid Toiletries
Shampoo bars, soap sheets, and toothpaste tablets are carry-on-friendly, leak-proof, and better for the environment too. There are a lot of companies out there now that have environmentally friendly toiletries now such as Wild
Bug Repellent & After-Bite Cream
Even in city settings, insects don’t discriminate. A small spray, cream or roll-on repellent can spare you from itchy nights.
Reusable Shopping Bag
Takes up no space and is perfect for groceries, souvenirs, or last-minute beach gear.
Spare Sunglasses
They break, they get lost, they get sat on. A backup pair keeps you squint-free.
Printed Copies of Key Documents
Digital is great — until your phone is lost, dead, or stolen. Keep a few paper backups of your passport, travel insurance, and bookings in your bag.
Eye Mask & Noise-Canceling Earplugs
Whether it’s a loud hotel, a red-eye flight, or just thin walls, these two items can save your sleep and sanity.
DenTek products are available at Boots, Amazon, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Ocado, Superdrug and through the DenTek website.
How would you fancy winning yourself a travel kit worth £60? It includes a bundle of DenTek products, a Temparin repair kit, a wash bag, a bamboo toothbrush and a towel.

Insect repellent, as they love to bite me!
My must have essential travel item is a good book for the down time.
I always make sure I have plenty of sunscreen, sunglasses and a good range of clothes when I go on holiday.
