There are loads available online; lowcostholidays have a UK based one you may find useful.

If you have a passport, your booking information and a credit card then nothing else matters as they are easily replaceable.

I only take hand luggage for 9 days or less, and make a trip to the nearest convenience store, or Lidl / Aldi for other stuff when I arrive. This shop is usually shampoo, shower gel, vodka, cider, fruit juices, coffee, milk, sun cream, lemons, etc. It takes about 1 hour when I arrive, but saves far more than that in time spent checking-in luggage and at baggage reclaim. Whatever is left over at the end of a stay gets left for the housekeepers with a note and a tip, and I let reception know also so that the housekeepers don't get into any bother.

I would include those with the "things which can be bought". I once arrived at a hotel and realised that I had forgotten to pack any pants. No problem, I didn't let it run my trip, I just bought some more.
