  • 9 Compact mini tripod

    A mini tripod can be a great holiday accessory whether you're a photography enthusiast or not. It will hold the camera steady for long exposures to capture views at night, or simply to enable you to use the timer on your camera so that you can be in your own shots with the rest of the family.

  • 10 Pocket fan

    It's a typically British trait to continually moan about the cold, only to complain that it's too hot at the first sight of sun. A pocket fan will keep you in a cool mood, leaving you free to find something else to complain about while on holiday.
