You're missing SO much! (Now how much of that you really need is debatable!)

We've had a few threads in the past where many people listed their whole inventories - I know I've posted mine a few times in the past. Try a search on Owner's Locker and maybe add inventory - you shouldn't get that many returns.

One item I don't think is mentioned yet -pop up hamper.

We keep night-lites. Great for the bathrooms and common areas. Suction cup hooks are great for hanging swimsuits and wet washcloths in the bathroom; Home Depot, Lowe or Menard's should have them. We have a Brita filter pitcher -- and extra filters. Speaking of filters, we keep a Mr. Coffee Gold filter for the coffee maker; used to keep the paper filters in our OL.

Band-aids, Benadryl, Tylenol, Rolaids. Dryer sheets, chip clips, soft side cooler (purple OL), grooming kit with nail clippers, tin foil, sharp knifes, salt/pepper grinder, and good quality wine opener.

I am sure I am missing something, but these are our favorite things!

ETA: Forgot the Absolut, Woodford Reserve and Tanqueray!!!!

And Captain Morgan!

Off the top of my head in our OL WITH the Captain we also keep collapsible coolers (and a couple of "blue ice"), a large beach bag that we take to the water parks and a smaller one that we use for just hitting the resort pool, a couple of different size backpacks for the parks, ponchos, mini umbrellas, flip flops, a night lite, votive candles, a flashlight, sewing kit, packing tape, scissors, sharp knives and cutting board, extra plasticware & a pack of paper plates (we use studios), plastic containers for leftovers or microwaving, refillable Brita water bottles, slippers (for me at least), toiletries, shave mirror for the shower for DH, shaving cream, shower scrunchie, toothpaste ETC, sunscreens, a variety of OTC meds (I keep track of their exp. dates), band-aids, moleskin, spare batteries, spray fan bottles (hence the need for spare batteries), plastic cups & straws for the pool, beer can & bottle coozies, wine glass, extra sugar & sweetener and coffee filters. There is more stuff but that's just what I can think of right now….

No sunscreen!

Sunscreen has an expiration date, and trust me, you don't want to use expired sunscreen. You think your skin is protected and it's not. Bring new sunscreen each time. Or at the very least look at the expiration date and only leave it if you KNOW you'll be back in time for it.

Yes, they are dated. I left 3 or 4 in our OL last summer that are all dated for sometime in 2015. I keep track of those dates along with the OTC meds we leave.

Flip-flips. Alarm clock because it's easier than trying to figure out how to fix the time on some of them (and the time is frequently off). Tap light because how are you supposed to find the light switch in the dark? Multi-outlet surge supressor so that we can charge all of our stuff in one place, using only one outlet, and will be less likely to forget something.

Scissors, which somebody already mentioned, but that is one of the items I use the most.

Also a note pad and pens. I use those a lot.
