A tourist shared that they bring an unusual item on holidays with them when travelling Europe and called it a “game changer”.

The Twitter user explained that it’s been the perfect addition to their luggage - and it only costs €1.

While Irish people aren’t known for travelling with light suitcases, maybe you should consider adding this to your packing list as the summer holidays are just around the corner.

Taking to social media to share the idea, the Twitter user recommended that everyone try using a door stopper.

They said: “We have been carrying one of these across Europe with us for the last six weeks. It's a game changer, lads.”

Her commenters were blown away by the suggestion and realised it could solve a lot of their annoying problems while abroad.

One person wrote: “What a good idea. I’m forever folding napkins / bits of paper / cards / menus etc. Few things worse than a wobbly table.”

A second Twitter user shared: “That is a great idea! I can't believe I've never thought of that. I can't even count how many times I've tried to adjust casters or wedged a napkin under a wonky table leg.”

A third commenter said: “I can agree wholeheartedly with this! Used to take a 4 pack on hols in case we forgot to put it back in my handbag before leaving a bar or restaurant. Got some funny looks sometimes.”

With another person adding: “I’m going to get one! In three weeks travelling all my serviettes were sacrificed to the wobbly table legs. Wish I’d thought of that!”

However, there’s another great function for the door stopper while enjoying your holidays.

One commenter suggested: “Also great for keeping you safe in your hotel room if you use it to wedge the door closed when going to sleep. Prevents anyone cloning your key card and accessing the room.”

A second person added: “Probably the most useful/simple gadget ever invented. It can, of course, also improve the security of your hotel room, hold a door open while you push your trolley in, or watch TV from the shower room, …”

With a third person saying: “Handy for securing hotel room doors closed in ‘slightly dodgy’ establishments (although risky if there’s a fire).”
