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.
• Metal scrubbers are not available here.
