I gave this to my Mother to prepare her overnight bag for an unexpected stay. She said it helped her go in auto pilot to pack her bag. So helpful!

Keep all of your important documents in one clear folder. It helps to have one place for all of your information and top put any documents you are given related to your stay.
Plastic Folders For Documents
Pack some playing cards. You can play a game with visitors or Solitaire when you are waiting. I like to keep my cards in these clear containers from Temu. Cheap as chips!
Clear Storage Boxes for Playing Cards
This play always makes me laugh. It's so witty and visual.
A Book | The Importance of Being Earnest | Oscar Wilde
An iPad is a must for me. You can keep in contact with the outside world, play games, read books. Hours of entertainment.
iPad - Apple
Block out as much noise as you can with headphone. You can listen to music or an audio book whilst you are still around healing.
Over-Ear Headphones with Noise Cancellation
Take a little notebook and pen with you to jot down questions you may have or information you are given throughout your stay.
Pens & Paper, Stationery, Notebooks & Notepads
Clothing
This chic weekender bag outfitted with an adjustable carrying strap makes packing easy.
Faux Leather Work Bag
So pretty and soft. Also very practical. The cuffs are a great length for me.
M&S Dressing Gowns
I just love Boody Bamboo PJ's. They are soft and breathable. You can get away with wearing them for a few days in a row. They don't seem to absorb body odour. I have them in Navy and Black.
Women's Pyjamas - Bamboo Sleepwear & Nighties
I have these in Chestnut, Brown and Navy. They are by far the best slippers I have ever owned. In regular shoes I need instep support but never with these slippers. They last for years and are sooo comfy. (affiliate link)

Pack some sunglasses. You might be leaving in the night but you may be coming out in the daytime.
Sunglasses
These are the best loafers for my wide feet. Very comfy and stylish. I also have them in Tan. If your feet may be a little swollen after your stay - these are great.

I love all things Boody!
Boody Loungewear and underwear
Toiletries
You don't need to pack make up. Just simple things that will make you feel fresh.
Have a place to keep your jewelery, credit card wallet, lip balms and hand moisturers.
Make Up and Skin Care Pouch
I use this ointment for every skin pop up. It works as a lip balm, eyebrow calmer, small cuts and bites. It's a must from me!

There is no better way to start the day with clean teeth! I can't live with out mine…

Just a little dry shampoo can make a huge difference to your hair if you can't shower for a day or so.

Most bottles taste like aluminium regret or whatever you left in there last week. Purest is different it's a glass water bottle so your water tastes like water. Not a gym locker, not yesterday's tea. Just crisp clean water.
