Holiday hamper ideas

Hi all,
It is my daughters 21st birthday soon and she is off on holiday to celebrate. I thought it would be nice to get together a 'hamper' of things she might need. So far I have thought of including a pair of flip flops, sun cream cream, some euros to spend, a resort guide, shampoo and contitioner from Lush (she loves their stuff). Does anyone have any other ideas. Thanks.

    I did one for a relative for xmas last year. It had in it passport holder, small padlock and keys for suitcase, beachbag. Other things you could include toiletry bag, paperback book, sunglasses/holder, beach towel.
  • nice jewellery - loads in the sales at the moment - and for that price it doesnt matter if she looses any of it!

    Maybe some dispolable cameras? oh and plenty of anadin extra for the hangovers! baby wipes, travel sized toiletries, make up????

    Maybe if she needs one a new vanity case which she could take with her - it could double up as your hamper and you can fill it with all the above...

    Small radio, travel toothbrush, international phone card, language guide, condoms*?

    Perhaps you could phone up the tour operator and ask if you could book her onto a few excursions?

    (*sorry if this causes offence but I dunno what sort of holiday it is. If it's an 18-30 type thing she may need 'em)
