Take the luggage & just buy toothpaste in small tubes.

A UK standard tube of toothpaste is well under 100ml. 70, I think.

The toothpaste is the easy part. And shampoo can be re-bottled

But try getting deodorant spray in the required size (roll-on is possible).

Or solid, which counts as liquid.

Roll-on is what I usually do. Does the job, and is vastly less
inconvenient than the time taken to check in a bag. I don't normally
use shampoo on a short trip, soap does the job, and in any case it's
free in a lot of hotels if the trip happens to involve staying in one.

(Actually, given the cost of checking in a bag on many airlines, it
would actually be cheaper to buy and chuck if you couldn't be bothered
with that)

That's one of those things that I always consider, fail to do before I get
there & then check in after they've pointed out that I owe them a fortune
charge me nothing for. I'm still trying to get my head round it.

Last time I flew for a weekend break, I took a deodorant that had its
size listed only in floz... it got through, even though technically (I
found out later) it shouldn't have!

I've wondered what the rules are on the "resealable
plastic bag". Can you take a supermarket grapes bag
or does it have to be of an approved design?

Also I was looking for a source of small squeezy bottles
for a few days' supply of e.g. shaving gel or toothpaste.
The squeezy bottles sold in travel shops are too large
(50-100ml, I'm looking for more like 10ml), and hotel
shampoo miniatures are rarely squeezy enough.

The restrictions were originally expressed (by the USA authorities) as 3
fl-oz. The Europeans then translated that into Millilitres (and rounded
it up a bit from 88). The plastic bag they go in started off life as a
US Quart - it's a standard item sold as a freezer bag.

I may be wrong (for that read "I'm probably wrong"), but I think the Body
Shop sell all manner of bottles. Maybe there's something squeezy enough
there?

I can't remember seeing 10ml-ish squeezy bottles anywhere -- that size
tends to be screwtop jars which you'd need a spatula to get stuff in and
out of.

Muji have all kinds of containers if you're in reach of one.

Generally I can survive away from home for more than 24hrs without nail
scissors & toothpaste is available in most of the world nowadays.

Indeed. Buy solid deodorant, tooth powder and solid shaving soap. I have
never
used one of the silly pastic liquid bags. If I really need to cut my nails
abroad,
nail clippers cost less than a pound most places...
