Packing for your big trip away this year? 

Everyone knows packing is THE most boring bit, apart from maybe waiting in that little section between the airport and the plane, where time stands still, nothing fun happens, and you just want to go.

But filling your suitcase with essentials is important, and it can make your holiday much easier. So, we’ve written up some handy tips together to make your life a little simpler when it comes to packing.

A GOOD towel

Bet you didn’t see that coming, did you? 

A good, lightweight, compact, quick-dry towel can change your life when it comes to travelling. Not only are you saving suitcase room, but you’re also going to avoid that weird, damp smell you get from standard cotton beach towels after you’ve used them.

Look for those made from 100% recycled materials. Here’s a totally unbiased recommendation for a great beach towel.

 Tiny Toiletries

Hygiene is important, even if you’re on your holidays. 

Take a toiletry bag with you and fill it with everything you might need, under 100ml though, don’t forget. We’re talking deodorant, moisturiser, shampoo, aftershave. You know, stuff to make you feel fancy. 

Stay hydrated

Bring a refillable water bottle with you and stay hydrated on your travels - especially if you’re heading to a hot country. 

Not only are you reducing your single-use plastic usage, but reusable water bottles tend to be a little more stylish, so you can match your outfits while being super sustainable. Nice. 

Passport…

…pretty obvious one.

You can’t really go anywhere without this, so you should probably put it somewhere safe, alongside any other important documentation. Don’t lose it while you’re away or you’ll be stuck on holiday forever. Perish the thought.
