Holiday crochet project? (Help!!)

I’m going away in 24 hours for a beach lizard holiday and I have no crochet ideas to do while I am away. I’m kind of between projects and a bit bored with my usual in-betweeny things
I need something to do. I can’t just sit or lie. The very thought actually makes me twitch. It’s too late to order supplies but I have a very large stash.

Please give me some ideas.

I'm crap at crochet but keep meaning to do this. It might be too basic for you!

Or, having seen the thread on Tesco stocking Xmas things already, maybe it's not too soon to start something like this...??!?!? 😜

I'm going to ge doing twisted headbands/earwarmers. Maybe too simple but can vary the pattern.

I have considered the C word….

maybe something scrappy Christmassy. Maybe.
I feel all disorganised and discombobulated. I usually have something like a blanket or squares or hats or something planned.

Simple is good. Mindless. last holiday I did hats. Many many hats. Headbands a good idea.

amigurami animals. a lizard is tricky but a stripy fish could be fun for the beach.

Hexagon cardi in Christmas colours. Very easy

Holiday bunting
beach / sea themed blanket squares

You could design blanket squares, make them up as you go along.

Thinking gifts, how about an infinity cowl/snood or two?

Top down raglan top - really easy once you get the hang of it and nice to wear too

Beach bag! All your friends will want one. You could add a shell from the beach you are on!

All these are great thanks.
now where’s my second yarn suitcase?

I like a mini project to take on holiday. My main WIP is a huge blanket so can't take that.
I usually make hairbands or hats. This year I'm going to make a sort of crochet faux macrame plant hanger.
