In search of decent travel bottles for toiletries

elisebutt65

Went into Boots today - as they had a BOGOFF on Washbags so also picked up a little kit of refillables - 2 bottles and 2 jars plus a spatula all in a dinky case for £2.50, better value than the single bottles for £1.40 each.

Really nice washbags as well - got a big holdall plus a beauty bag for £15 - saved a tenner.

I got mine from one of the larger Boots, 3 small plastic bottles in a case ( i think were £2 odd) but i give them to the kids for swimming. Shampoo, body gel and conditioner as they swim a lot.

I travel a lot for work and I keep an essential items bag permanently packed, my shampoo bottle is a 250ml pump bottle with a plastic bit that stops it from pumping in your washbag, cost about £3 for 2 from Boots about 4 years ago. I just decant some from the bottle in the shower when it gets low, it's a see through bottle which helps.
Shower gel etc, I bought the travel versions and just refill when necessary, sometimes I pick up the hotel bottles if they are a good product or a sturdy bottle. Hair gel is in little screw top plastic jar again from Boots. I use the wetwipe style cleanser asit is easier to manage than more liquids in bottles and I buy the small size hairspray, not very MSE but I like to travel light..Boots have some good deals on from time to time on the travel minis, BOGOF etc.

Was this recently? I'll have to try another branch, it was Chatham that told me they didn't sell them anymore.

Feb of this year ... didn't seem that long ago to me when i typed it ... but forgot we were in August and not June :rolleyes:

Is chatham a big store? It's been so long since I lived near there I have forgotten already ... try a larger store ..... It's worth a shot! there was a pound shop there too if I remember correctly ... you can buy a cheapo set and pour out the content and keep the bottles, sometimes they do work out cheaper than the empties that are sold - as mentioned earlier.

Or, if you check the freebies section, there are free sample size products available of Original Source and the bottles are a good size ... LINK you can also apply for the Head and Shoulders freebie if it is still around!

I've had the muji ones for a few years now and they work well, no leaks.

That's right. Our Tesco's just got a lorry load of stuff for a pound. All sorts of stuff including these bottles at this price.
Its starting to look like Lidl :rotfl:
