Things that are duplicated by design and will be counted collectively as 1 thing. Examples:
- tampons
- checkbooks
- q-tips
- hair ties
Rule: Hygiene
I am fully aware of the hikers guide of packing by weight. This is not that type of challenge, nor do I want it to be that type of challenge. These items are meant to be purchased in numbers for the sake of convenience and in my personal opinion, hygiene. Thus, these items will collectively be counted as 1. Examples:

Rule: Boxed
Items that are too small to be without a box and items that are meant to be stored in a box will be considered 1 thing. Thus, these items collectively will be counted as 1. Examples:
- jewelry
- memorabilia
- travel kit
- make-up
Rule: Sets
Items that come in sets. These items will be counted as 1. Examples:
- luggage
- dishes
- silverware
- pan/pot set
- car/registration/insurance/spare tire
