Festival survival bags

My daughter is going to a music festival over the summer. I have got a couple of cotton drawstring bags and want to make her and a friend a "survival kit" as a gift. I have never been to a festival, so could do with some inspiration as to what to put in them please. So far I have wipes, hand gel, dry shampoo, hair bobbles, tissues. Thanks!

Oral rehydration sachets.

One thing I would say as someone who has been to many festivals over the years is to pack the survival kit is a small bag. The key is to pack light. (Speaking as someone who finds it so hard to pack light).

But the ideas above are all good. Maybe also add a large empty water bottle (2l or so) to fill at night as the queues for water are insane in the morning. Means you can have a drink and clean teeth and face without the queues.

@Abondanza thank you!!
@Straightomyhead yes I have got little cotton drawstring bags and the toiletries ar the mini ones. Rehydration sachets and glitter also a great idea.

Definitely a sheewee!

A dry bag to keep kit dry if weather is less than sunny?
Something like this... (not the same vibe I know, but was invaluable for daughters' D of E trips) ..

Wet wipes to have a body wash of some sort. Packets of tissues to have for the toilets.
Ear plugs.
