coasters

Aside from those already mentioned by others...

I always pack a copy of our itinerary in each suitcase - just in case it gets separated from us.

I keep a list with me of everything I packed (and in which suitcase) ...

I keep a photo of my suitcases in case asked to describe if lost.

Good wine bottle corkscrew

Extension cord with multi tap (to charge several items from 1 outlet)

Upload to cloud (or thumbdrive) images of important papers I may need to reference while traveling (insurance, credit card, passports etc.)

Small safety bathmat and suction cup bath handle

Downloaded PDF's of all the user manuals for electronics I have with me.

Small flashlight

blank DVD & CD's to record and/or share copies of photos taken for safe keeping.

Keep a list of inoculations each of has had and when.

I make sure before leaving home that I have important email addresses just in cast I need to reach them in the event of emergency.

Hope this helps...

Jerry
