Travel Size Toiletries

Does anyone know if Boots or Superdrug still do the travel size (mini) shower gels/shampoos and toothpaste? My son is going away for 3 days with school and thought it would be less stuff in his rucksack if he had small ones!!! :beer:

    O cool! Thank you, he's only 9, and has loads of stuff to take already!!! im looking for a smaller sleepin bag, as the one he has borrowed is from a 15yr old, and is enormous!!!
  • Sleeping bag idea: don't waste money on another small version that he will grow out of... just put a belt/bit of cord/fabric around the larger bag to in effect make it shorter (and hence warmer as there will be less dead space)...;)
    HTH :D

    Primark are selling the empty containers into which you can decant shampoo/shower gel etc.
    I send my DD away with the end of a toothpaste tube, somehow new ones never seem to return home :confused:

    Superdrug also do a large range of the minis, although the price is not much less than a full size.

    asda has the best range that i have seen locally, compared to boots, superdrug and tesco anyway.

    another idea, as suggested with toothpaste above, is to send him with the end of normal size containers, which he can chck once he has finished with them.
