Okay, we admit, some are a bit quirky if not downright peculiar but hey each to his own and if you find that these inspire you - well go for it. In fact we'd love to be a fly on the wall and see you try some of them....

Bring your own drawstring shopping bags - cheap, easy, very very useful - and much better for the environment.
When flying wear comfortable and easy to take off shoes. You will have to slip them off to run them through the Xray machine at security - undoing complicated laces, buckles etc can be annoying.
