A holiday 'goody bag'

Spendless

At the end of the month I'm taking away my 16yo daughter and her best friend for a long week end to the seaside, staying in a caravan.

Neither girl has had a great 12 months, and this is a celebration of the end of GCSEs, school-life being over and looking forward to the next step of their lives.

Something I want to do is create a goody bag for the girls to give them on their first day of hols. I'm thinking stocking filler type things, but with a focus on things they'll use or appreciate on the holiday.

So far I've got both, a bag from £1land that holds their wet swimming costumes, some toilteries (bodywash and bodyspray) and beyond that I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions please.

My suggestions:

Nail varnish
Ear plugs (and perhaps a set for you as well)
A pack of playing cards each - I played with a pack similar to these recently: https://www.amazon.co.uk/FADACAI-Black-Plastic-Waterproof-Playing/dp/B07MX4GNC9. They felt great in the hands, and are waterproof.
A long (2m) power lead for their phones - you might need to check whether the friend needs an iphone Lightning cable or Micro USB
A bag of sweets

Sun cream.
A small voucher for them to spend when back home.
Maybe a 'note' so they can go to lunch together.
A diary so they can write their memories.
Nail varnish.
Lip gloss.

Fab idea.


Maybe a holiday themed chic-lit type reading book? £land do some books otherwise The works often do 3 for £5 or charity shops can have good-as-new books for £1 or less.....


Cute handbag size hairbrush


Lightweight summery scarf (protect against hot sun/freezing rain)


Groovy sun hat


Funny plasters - peppa pig or something (always handy for shoes that rubbed)


Funky beach towel (Primark usually do nice ones)


Sparkly pen for the diary/notebook (works/£land etc)


Disposable camera each


Matching pj's (Primark)


Fun jewellery - e.g. bangle/bracelet/necklace - lots in your charity shops/Primark etc

Primark have some small ones. They also have the kind that fold in half in order to be "portable"
