There are some staples we've all come to expect from hotels .
A Bible in the drawer, tea and coffee, little soaps - and one of those dinky hairdryers that requires you to keep pressing down on the button.
Having to do this isn't one of life's great hardships, but it is a little annoyning.
So, thank goodness one clever woman has come up with a work-around - simply pack a scrunchie.
Yes, these eighties and nineties staples serve more than one function apparently.
Kindly sharing the nifty travel tip on Buzzfeed , the woman's picture shows a scrunchie tightly-wrapped around the top and the base of a hairdryer.
This secures the button in place and keeps it on for as long as you need to dry your hair.
The useful travel advice doesn't just stop there.
If you're going abroad and will need an adaptor for all your gadgets, simply take just one extension lead, instead of several adaptors.
When this particular tip was shared on Twitter back in may, people responded with comments like, "This has legitimately just blown my mind."
Which is high praise indeed.
So remember, two you things you need to include in your suitcase are the humble scrunchie and an extension lead.
