    The "random stuff I wanna buy but don't" thread

    What is your non-negotiable item, device, or app for international travel?

    Very little, as you discover when your luggage goes somewhere else. My hand luggage is always on the minimal side - laptop, phone, chargers, wallet. You can do surprisingly well with very little.
