Protect your stuff with the Alarmio

Much as I don't really like the name (sounds a bit like a rubbish Harry Potter spell!), the Alarmio is a great product for protecting all sorts of things are are traditionally very difficult to protect.

Alarmio comprises a high tensile cable with combination lock and motion sensor. Wrap the cable around your bike, door, laptop, tent, bags, suitcases and anything else and if someone moves it it starts to bleep to warn them that it's there and if the movement continues it shrieks out at 100 decibels (very loud!). If the cable is cut it does the same thing.

The cost of taking "Baby" on a plane!

Now we all want to keep our travel costs down and avoid paying for children for as long as possible but this really is a little bit ridiculous!!

Teabags, Toilet Paper and Marmite!

According to a new survey (and we all know how reliable those are!), some of the most important travel essentials packed by Brits are teabags and Marmite.

Other home comforts finding their way into our bags are bacon and toilet tissues. Unfortunately, a growing number are also packing their work phones - hurrah for the rise of the smartphone, not!

 

The survey from www.lowcostholidays.com also shows that we have varied ways of doing our packing with 40% of respondents claiming to be "pretty organised" whilst 17% just chuck everything in at the last minute. The saddest fact that comes out of this is that 6% had the time to be very meticulous, wrapping their clothes, layer by layer, in tissue paper. (I'm absolutely not in that category)!


What are your travel essentials and just how do you do your packing?
