Ha yeah I'm constantly reminding them of useful items that they have.
Some folk might consider that a trap. Not everybody, but some of the people I play with, and on these boards might start to wonder why you're so eager to have them use up expendable resources. It's a player thing =)
My players also forget what they have. I mostly leave my veteran players to remember that stuff on their own, but my newbie players have actually specifically requested that I remind them of the items they have, and they often ask me for advice on how to use them. I’m slowly weaning them off of my advice, as they get more comfortable with the game, but for now, they can ask me for help if they want it.
Yeah, I end up reminding PCs too. One thing that helps is casually suggesting that the players ‘take inventory’ before they go fight that dragon.

Only spilt the party if you see something shiny.
