Material: Waterproof or water-resistant (for spills).
Compartments: Multiple pockets or mesh sections help separate items.

2. Categorise Your Items

Break your kit into small groups so you can find things quickly.

A. Toiletries

Toothbrush + toothpaste

Body wash or soap
Moisturiser / sunscreen
Deodorant
Comb or hairbrush

(Tip: Go for travel-size bottles to save space.)

Antiseptic cream

(Keep in a small zip-lock to avoid leaks.)

3. Packing Tips

Use small zip-lock bags to group similar items.
Keep liquids in leak-proof bottles and wrap them in cling film or a small pouch.
Store items vertically so you can see them at a glance.
Label small bottles so you don’t confuse shampoo with body lotion.

4. Extra Smart Add-ons

Mini sewing kit
Nail clipper & file
Reusable silicone bottles for rees

Kitty party game ideas

Here are some fun kitty party game ideas that are simple, interactive, and full of laughs:

1. Purse Treasure Hunt

How to play: Make a list of 10–15 random items (safety pin, lipstick, chewing gum, ₹5 coin, etc.). Call out one item at a time. Whoever pulls it out from their purse first gets a point.
Why it’s fun: Everyone has unexpected things in their bags — sometimes hilarious ones!

2. Bollywood Dialogue Twist

How to play: Write famous Bollywood dialogues on chits but replace one or two words with funny ones. Players must guess the original dialogue.
Example: "Mere paas momos hain" → original: "Mere paas maa hain."
Why it’s fun: Lots of laughter and nostalgia.

3. Paper Plate Self-Portrait

How to play: Give each player a paper plate and a marker. Ask them to draw their own face — but they must keep the plate on their head while drawing!
Why it’s fun: The results are hilarious and photo-worthy.

4. Coin Balance Race

How to play: Keep a spoon in the mouth, balance a coin on it, and walk from start to finish. Drop the coin? Start again!
Why it’s fun: Adds a touch of competition and silliness.

5. Kitty Tambola with a Twist

How to play: Instead of numbers, create tickets with themes like "Types of Sarees," "Kitchen Items," or "Fruits." Call out clues, and they must guess and mark them.
Why it’s fun: Keeps tambola fresh and customized.
