Extra Hair Supplies: If your family has different hair types, include things like detangling spray, hair gel, dry shampoo or leave-in conditioner to keep everyone’s hair looking great.

Solid Perfume/Deodorant: For the older kids, a bit of solid perfume or deodorant can make them feel fresh and ready for the day.
Lipgloss/Chapstick: Don’t forget their favorite flavored lipgloss or chapstick! It not only keeps their lips moisturized but also adds a hint of fun to their morning routine.
Hand Sanitizer: Keep hands clean and germ-free with hand sanitizer or soap. It’s perfect for a quick cleanup anytime. My girls LOVE these splurge-worthy sprays!!
First Aid Essentials: Band-Aids are essential for addressing little cuts and scrapes, ensuring you’re ready for any minor accidents. Consider a cute storage tin that won’t be affected if it gets a little wet – you can easily refill it with Target Dollar Spot bandages as needed.
Tissues or Wipes: Pack some tissues for sniffles or spills. These are compact, tree-free, and always handy to have around!

Lotion/Creams/Sunscreen: Keep skin soft and smooth with lotion, especially during the colder months when dry skin is more common. In the summer months, swap for sunscreen instead. For the littlest ones, diaper cream/powder is a must-have for their delicate skin.
Face Wash: Before bedtime, unwind using face wash or refreshing mist to remove the day’s dirt and grime. For younger ones, a gentle washcloth with water is usually effective for cleansing and teaches good hygiene habits.
Nail Clippers or Files: Tidy up nails with nail clippers or files.
Water Cup: Ideal for rinsing or late-night sips of water, I prefer these small cups in our bins. However, a collapsible version would be fantastic for accommodating bigger drinks for older kids.

Vitamins: Don’t forget those daily vitamins! Use a fun days-of-the-week vitamin case to make sure everyone gets what they need to start the day off right.
Timer or Clock: If time management is a challenge, consider adding a timer or clock to help keep everyone on track during their bathroom routine.
