What is the essentials to take from a womans perspective...

hi ya, as the subject states, what would you say the essentials from a ladies point of view, as Phil my partner is taking control of what tools ect to take and he is preping the van, i would take charge of getting the essentials together, we are going to France for a month (with a nearly 2 year old)

so far all that is on the list is tea bags and baked beans lol, i know i do not need to take loads of Nappy's as i can get them in France, but what do you miss when you go?

what would you suggest for a first aid box and what else would you think of that is a must, i don't want to take to much but there are things that we defo need that i will probably miss, and in case of emergencies,

Thank you in advance

Sam, you're a woman. Make a list, then for Pete's Phil's sake, cross it all off and take a credit card please or you won't set off until midnight.*
