I'd rather have extra glasses than contacts (especially if they are daily disposables).


I usually get 3-4 weeks out of a pair of disposable contacts. I have been looking for reader-style optical frames for spare glasses.

Ear plugs (your office mates may snore, etc.)


I carry these for work.

Blinders (so your office mates can have lights on if they want)


I find it easier to sleep with the lights on than with blinders.

Sore throat lozenges, Lipton Cup o' Noodles packets.


Lozenges are in the kitchen FAK, along with coffee, tea, hot cocoa and the like. Some instant soup is a GREAT idea.

Fleece socks. Deoderant


I might have a pair of heavy wool socks for this. Deoderant should have been on my list.

Cards for playing poker


Another excellent idea.

Also, I want to add a candle to help warm up the small conference room I'm eyeing as my temporary bedroom.
