I have a dedicated openner that stays in the luggage.

Doesn't that make it tougher to use?
Ha! Actually I have, the one that stays in the luggage is the back-up because I have another one for the Polar Bear. Being without means to open a bottle would be a true vacation crisis.
Chrisn, you sound like my mom. She takes several varieties of specialty chocolates for her various "needs." Her bag got delayed one trip and I thought she was going to freak out, she was actually pacing back and forth.
I like to bring a used FedEx box containing one ice skate and a blood stained volleyball.
I find that most of my fellow beach goers agree that the attempt at comedic relief more than made up for their momentary feelings of terror.
It’s not about yesterday or tomorrow...It’s about today, for come what may – Sun, rain, or hurricane – we've only time for a smile, and none for sorrow
I brought a power inverter last summer. It was worth it even going carry-on only. At Maho, we'd send my son from the beach to the jeep every time our cups were empty and he'd return with frozen daiquiris. He didn't really care for the nickname Blender Boy though.
Once in awhile you get shown the light

Ok this makes me sound like such a cheapskate, but I bring ice cube trays. Most places only have 1 or 2. I bring about 8 more and make my own ice for the daily cooler. It is so much more convienent. The cheap ones stack easily and don't weigh much in the luggage.

We bring a wind chime, an inexpensive one from Christmas Tree Shop or Job Lot. It adds to the ambience on the campsite. And then we leave it behind for the next guest to enjoy or destroy. We also bring St. Pat's Day garlands, hats, socks to wear to the parade.

1000 Islands cheese,River Rat sharp cheddar.
Summer sausage
