The thread creator is looking for good ideas, beyond the obvious things like passports, money and tickets. Here are some examples of things that some people consider essential when travelling.

I always put a roll of toilet paper, even if I'm staying in a hotel. Just in case, haha.

Camera, two mobiles, computer, hand sanitiser, ATM card, and a little angel (not that I'm religious, it just feels right to have her in my bag).

All my medicines and certificates. But of course my dear little baby... The camera that is. With the associated lens that covers most things 😉

Camilla, haha, a bit funny! On some trips, however, I walk around with some toilet paper in my pocket. Can be good as well
😉
Pia, wow, lots of great tips! But don't we have an excessive need for hand sanitiser... or?
Annika, I like the part about the angel.
😉
Maja, of course, I will email!
Spider girl, yes prescription drugs are important! And camera of course!
🙂

Pillow, passport and credit card, a roll of toilet paper. And only the mobile phone if the packing needs to be minimised. That way I can take decent pictures with my phone.

Of course, it depends on whether you're hiking through Siberia and living under the stars or travelling to a big city, but assuming you're travelling where there are hotels, it seems a bit odd that several of the items on the list are considered "essential".
Candles?
Headlamp?

The mini PC and the mobile phone 😛
The hand sanitiser thing has not affected me despite or perhaps because I work at a preschool... BUT considering my tough cold, maybe I should tighten up a bit!

Annelie-Singapore, I can imagine!
Across the board, we usually take a regular camera. But when we travelled to Kiev over New Year, we also just took our mobile phone, and took photos with it.
Krister in Beijing, haha, we don't usually bring a headlamp when we go on a city weekend either....
😉
Ingrid, no, we are not so afraid of germs either. Maybe hand sanitiser is good sometimes, but some people also seem to get a bit too nervous.
