Personal accessories:

• Wallet – one that has space for cards – you normally don’t carry much cash with you. It is preferable to have a pouch for carrying coins too.

• Shaving kit & Blades (get a good stock, they are costly in US).

• Soap (get a couple of bars of bathing soap till you go for the first groceries in US).

• Combs & hair oil.

• Small mirror

• Nail cutter.

• Small scissors, Safety pin bunch. Mini-sewing kit with some buttons.

• Mug – These are not available here easily.

• Blanket – Most people normally buy comforters which are pretty cheap and really cozy too. A blanket could get to be really bulky to carry. It is advisable to get a thin blanket and not a thick one.
