Nifty Thrifty Travel Gifty #3 is dental floss. You may laugh (and once again, do not give this as a stand-alone gift. Compile it with the other NTTGs and an explanatory note), but dental floss has seen me through some tough travel times, my friends.Aside from dislodging some fine Texan barbecue from my incisors, I've also used floss for the following:
- as freakishly strong thread and sewed up a hole in my pack
- as a shoelace
- to MacGyver a way of keeping a bus bathroom door closed on a long trip
- as gift ribbon or packing string around a box of stuff that I've mailed home
- as a way to tie things onto my pack to keep my hands free
- as a makeshift necklace to put my room key on while I swim
And you thought the laundry line was unsexy...
