We are leaving for our delayed honeymoon on Tuesday and I am the worst packer ever. I'm good with the clothing part but I am the worst with toiletries. Can you girls help me with some suggestions of what I should bring to Mexico? The only thing on my list is sunscreen so far
TIA!

Thanks girls. I really am bad at packing the basics. I'll bring a carton of tampons even if I dont need them, but I'll forget my toothbrush.

Re: Honeymoon Packing Help
We went to BBB and they have a huge section with mini things. IT helped ALOT with space and it was great bc you have everything all there and even if you didnt think of something, once you see it you think 'oh i might need this'. The mini stuff are great bc some things you dont need the big version and will just take up too much space
But we had the regular stuff like shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, razors, q-tips, lotion, hair products that you use, deodorant, face cleansers, shaving cream, toothpaste, mouth wash, toothbrushes and anything you use yourself on a daily basis or often. Also brought my own blow dryer, your brushes
Then other things like pepcid ac for our stomachs, advil, dh wears contacts so his contact solution and contacts, if youre going somewhere on the beach then sun tan lotion plus get the aloe vera after tan thing in case anyone burns, band aids. We even brought fabreze with us lol, extra batteries for camera.
Dh has a toiletry case so alot of stuff went in there. I also had this big bag i carried on the plane with alot of stuff such as accessories to wear, didnt want to leave jewelry in a suitcase, then my brushes and a bunch of other toiletries.

LOL YES!!!!! we had $130 GC from my bridal shower so it ended up being free for us to get all our toiletries since we just used that. I was glad i saved that GC bc really came in handy. PLUS you always get those 20% discount coupons too so we used that also, we got so much with that.
