Suction cups with hooks to hang things to dry or support clothesline. These attach very nicely to windows, mirrors, places in the bathroom. A flat sink stopper is also very useful
International plug adaptors are great if you want to use your own hairdryer, laptop or electric toothbrush!
Wire hangers from home since most places don′t have enough. You can leave these behind when you return home
A small roll of electrical tape has a myriad of uses for the traveller. A hem has come down? Tape it up in a pinch. Leaving your luggage at the hostel for a few days? Tape everything closed so nothing can be slipped in or out. Shipping a box home, want to put souvenirs into your journal, need to take fluff off a black sweater? Hurrah for electrical tape!
Swiss Army knives also come in handy but with the new regulations we recommend these not be packed in your carry on luggage
Take pictures of your house, pets and family with you – you will be surprised how quickly this breaks the ice with shy strangers! Pack some small New Zealand souvenirs to give away as gifts
