Hangover pills

Local brand DrinkAid’s anti-hangover pills protect you from the side effects of alcohol consumption, bringing with it a slew of benefits like mitigating nausea, reducing the infamous Asian flush, and controlling skin flare-ups. Specially formulated and backed up by science and evidence, DrinkAid guarantees that you will feel at least 50% better the next day.

Taking the pill before drinking not only prevents queasiness and headaches, but it even improves your alcohol tolerance! If you forget to take the pill before, you can still take it after — the pill will still prevent hangovers, and will aid you in sobering up fast.

These soap thins come in handy when the nearby toilets are all lacking, but you just have to wash all the gunk off.

Can’t fit your lipstick into your purse? No worries, just store it in the scrunchie on your wrist. These handy scrunchies come with a hidden zipper that lets you store things inside the scrunchie itself.

It’s surprisingly roomy too. Aside from your lipstick, you can also keep coins, keys and some folded cash inside. Given how ruffled the material is, you can even tie your hair up with things inside the scrunchie, and it won’t look awkwardly bulky.

Sometimes, even a cardholder may be too bulky for your mini bag. You may usually just bring the cards and cash, but using a money clip will take up almost no space while helping hold everything together.

Have you ever had frogo bringing wet wipes out because the thick packet took up too much space? Bring individual wipes instead — these packets are so thin you can even bring a couple without them taking up too much space.

Drink spiking prevention drink cover

8/10

NightCap’s reusable drink covers serve two purposes — they prevent spills while also deterring drink spiking, as pills and powders can’t be dropped into the drink. This useful cover comes with a handy hole for you to fit a straw in and is made of stretchy nylon, meaning that it fits most cups and glasses.

NightCap’s covers come in a scrunchie or a pouch that doubles as a keychain. The scrunchie is attached to the cover by an elastic band (you can put the scrunchie around the glass) while the other comes in a mini pouch that will fit in your bag.

For an easy, fuss-free touch-up, bring along one of these tiny capsule lipsticks that are just over 3cm tall! This is convenient to bring along, plus you won’t have to worry too much if you lose it. (Imagine losing a new Dior lipstick… we’re tearing up already.)

Foldable comb with mirror

This handy 2-in-1 mirror lets you check your appearance and keep your hair silky throughout the night. The comb folds in too! Which means that when it’s not in use, it will take close to no space.
