Luggage And Bags: A backpack works fine.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If your going in winter, its essential to come prepared. Yes parka's in mongolia are a good value and will keep you warm but you gotta be able to get to the shop first:)
thermal underware,shirts, socks are a good thing to bring, the high tech fabrics arent available in mongolia.
Shoes:durable hiking boots
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: You can buy TP in cities and its just fine, always carry tp with you. Road trips are long and bumpy.
Small pack of washing soap can be bought in any soum(village) or city, perfect for long treks. But you might want to consider enviromentally friendly stuff from home.
Meds:allergy meds if you take them, sunscreen
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: If you come here to be outdoors, bring it all, In Mongolia you can basically throw your tent down anyplace in the country.
Miscellaneous: If you like a certain coffee,tea, bring it. Outside of UB many services, products are not availabe so stock up in the city.
Nalgene water bottles are handy, Spices for mongolian food helps add variety.
Many people bring small gifts to give to people along the way as well.
