Let's see...
A flat plastic sink stopper for hand washing small items.

Travel-size packets of Woolite for hand washing.

Ex Officio Give n Go anti-microbial undies to reduce said hand washing.

Polysporin--what's in this tiny tube will heal wounds, chapped lips and cracked cuticles. I use it every night.

Good emery boards. Like tampons, these are hard to find outside the US.

Wipes pre-soaked in Witch Hazel--great to use from head to toe when a shower is out of the question.

One of those metal clips normally used to hold big piles of papers together--they're perfect for protecting your privacy by holding curtains together that insist on gaping open.

Where is this European country that lacks tampons? Instead cups (like Diva Cups only disposable) are the only thing I've found that I need to bring. I usually end up buying toiletries to bring home. If you are ever in Germany, they have little packets of wipes for everything - hands, eyeglasses, bathroom, stains on clothing, nail polish removal, etc.
I opt for a tiny USB key instead of hard copies. Encrypting it is easy: http://lifehacker.com/154465/on+the+fly-encryption-for-your-usb-flash-drive
