We tend to take brand new of everything with us and like others here we do the ziplocks and I have a box that stops things getting squashed.
The other thing I take is a medical box with essentials: bonjela /Anbesol, paracetomol ibuprofen plasters bite cream, athletes foot cream (all that walking in trainers) ear drops, toothpicks, cottonwool, earbuds and nail clippers
We may need none of these items but it is a comfort to know I have them without the stress if paying OTT prices - DH got a bad ear last year hence ear drops and cottonwool making an appearance in this years box.
With the exception of medical and expensive toiletries we also leave left overs when we come back.
