  • Those aged 18-24 are most likely to forget any given item tested when packing for their holiday, including sunglasses (32% compared with 16% across all adults), toiletries (27% vs. 14% avg), phones/laptops/chargers (21% vs. 12% avg), and swimming costume (15% vs 9% avg).
  • Of the celebrities tested, Ed Sheeran is most likely to inspire the average Briton to go up and ask to take a picture with him – 21% report they would do this if they saw him at their hotel/resort.
