Living with the 3-1-1: Individual Sized Packaging for Travelers

This is brilliant. An entire online store that specializes in nothing but individual-sized items.

Instead of packing that whole tube of toothpaste, a giant bottle of shampoo, and a big canister of shaving cream, travelers can now find miniature sizes of hundreds of goods in one convenient location.

Minimus sells tiny packages of most every item one travels with. I always made use of such packaging (when I could find it), to cut down on bulk and weight–especially when backpacking. Now, with the new airline liquid restrictions, tiny packaging is not only convenient, but absolutely necessary for those items we want to carry on.

Fortunately, Minimus offers individual sized packages of medicine, food, drinks, toiletries and more. The one thing I was very disappointed to find missing, however, was small bottles of saline solution for my contacts. Doesn’t anyone sell this? I’m tired of hauling around those big 12 oz. bottles all the time.
