What would you pack for working on a desert island

I've landed a crazy job, three months working on a tropical island, living out of a hotel room.
It's just dawned on me how long that is. What do I need to make it a home rather than a slog?
It's two hours from a big city on the mainland.

What do I need to take?
The list so far has:
First aid kit, mooncup, sunglasses, small cocktail shaker, needle&thread, mosquito net....

Have you got any favourite treats? Those could be hard to come by. Also factor 50 cream and maybe something for the ears if you’re going to be snorkelling/swimming much.

A supply of your favourite tea / coffee.

I worked on an island for nearly 10 years. My staples were decent teabags and Marmite. Black bin bags were also incredibly expensive (everything was imported). Cosmetics that you might run out of, moisturiser etc.
