KCR 14.0 inch Portable TV/DVD Player Combo
A portable DVD player with a Freeview (DVB-T2) TV tuner and an amplified aerial, plus HDMI, USB, and AV connections. That combination means films from disc or USB, plus live TV news when there's a signal. It's a versatile screen for a kitchen, caravan, or power cut, running on its own battery.
DeWALT Long Range Rechargeable Walkie Talkies, 4 Pack (2 x 2 Pack)
Two pairs of licence-free PMR446 walkie-talkies, so there's no contract, subscription or licence. They're rated IP67 against dust and water and are built to survive a 2-metre drop. The rechargeable batteries are rated for up to 18 hours, and the 2x twin dock keeps both sets of radios charged and ready. Voice activation lets you talk hands-free, and 16 channels with privacy codes help cut out other users. If mobile networks go down in a storm or power cut, they keep your household in touch between the house and a neighbour's, or across a campsite.
ROCAM Solar Wind Up Radio, DAB/FM Emergency Radio with 12000mAh Battery
A DAB+ and FM radio with a 2.4-inch colour screen that shows the station, battery level and mode. It runs on a 12,000mAh rechargeable battery, which you can top up from the mains, a large built-in solar panel or the hand crank. The same battery will charge a phone in a pinch. It also works as a Bluetooth speaker and has a torch and a reading light. When the power and the internet are both down, it keeps BBC Local Radio coming, where travel, school and outage updates appear first.
Ortizan 24W Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
A 24W waterproof Bluetooth speaker with twin drivers and bass radiators, which can pair with a second speaker for stereo. Music changes the mood of a power cut more than anything else. It runs from its own battery, and it's at home in the garden or on a camping trip too.
Peradix Chess Set | Wooden Magnetic Chess Board
A wooden magnetic chess set: the pieces stay in place even if the board is knocked or tipped. That makes it ideal for travel, outdoor play, or a game paused for a few days. Chess is a quiet, absorbing way to pass an evening without power.
AGPTEK Classic MP3 Player
An MP3 player with 64GB of storage, expandable to 128GB, and Bluetooth for wireless headphones or a speaker. Music, audiobooks, and podcasts with no internet needed and a long battery. A simple, quiet comfort for anyone who copes with stress better with something to listen to.
Trivial Pursuit Family Edition | Board Game | Age 8+ | 2-4 players
Trivial Pursuit Family Edition, for two to four players aged eight and up, with separate question cards for children and adults across six categories. It means everyone can play on an equal footing. A good way to fill an evening without screens.
Amazon Kindle (newest gen)
The latest basic Kindle, with a 6-inch glare-free screen, an adjustable front light, and dark mode. The maker says the battery lasts for weeks, so in a power cut it'll keep going long after the phones have died. Load it up beforehand with novels and, if you like, a few useful guides.
Monopoly | Board Game| Ages 8+ | 2-6 players
Monopoly, for two to six players aged eight and up. Buy properties, charge rent, and bankrupt your relatives. It's the classic long game for a long evening, and that's exactly what a power cut needs. Best played by lantern light.
Amazon Basics 108-Pack Alkaline Battery Super Value Pack
Keep this box at home as the store that fills your grab bag. Take what the bag needs now (a few AAs and AAAs for the torch, headlamp and radio), and you’ve got replacements to hand whenever you check the bag. The box holds 48 AA, 36 AAA, eight each of C and D, and eight 9V, enough for almost everything in the house, including the smoke alarm. They aren’t rechargeable. Store the box somewhere cool and dry, and check which sizes your torches and radio take.
Anker Prime Power Bank, 20,000mAh Portable Charge
A 20,000mAh power bank that delivers up to 87W across three devices, with a built-in cable. The maker says it can charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro to 50% in under 40 minutes. In a grab bag, it keeps phones going for several days.
Playing Cards
Waddingtons No. 1 playing cards, the traditional British pack. A deck of cards weighs nothing, takes no power, and offers dozens of games, from Snap to Rummy. Put one in every grab bag, and one in the kitchen drawer.
Nokia 110 4G Feature Phone
A simple 4G phone with a battery that the maker says lasts for days, and yes, the classic game Snake. In a long power cut, a smartphone dies in a day, but a basic phone keeps you reachable for much longer. Keep it charged with a spare SIM or an inexpensive pay-as-you-go one.
Dyna-Living Mini Chinese Mahjong Set
A small travel Chinese mahjong set with 144 tiles, in a carry box with a handle, weighing about 900g. Mahjong is absorbing, sociable, and easy to learn once someone teaches you. Perfect for a long evening, and compact enough to travel.
Emergency Survival Whistle Noopel Double Tubes (2-pack)
Two double-tube safety whistles, which the maker says reach 120dB. A whistle carries much further than a voice, takes far less effort, and still works when you're tired. Clip one to every grab bag and children's coats.
