First year i went with the kitchen sink!, didn't use half of it!
My essentials....
1) A roll of self-amalgamating tape. Fixes hoses, secures wiring, virtually indestructable. Watertight and very very strong.
2) Spare bulbs and fuses
3) Can of tyre sealant foam
4) Spare keys....(long story

)
5) Set of stubby spanners
6) Tyre pressure gauge
7) Old tobacco tin with nuts bolts, washers etc
8) Sealable 'Wet' bag with an old face flannel kept wet for clearing bugs of my visor
9) 90degree elbow tyre valve adaptor
Thats about it really. Sounds a lot, but all fits in a tupperware box nicely
