I really don’t know anyone that truly loves to pack. It can be stressful and time consuming especially if you are packing for multiple people in your family.
So I am putting together a list of the things I love to use when packing and traveling that helps keep me organized and makes packing and unpacking so much easier.
Calpak Toiletry Bag
The first travel essential that I won’t leave home without now is my Calpak toiletry bag. It is clear so I like that you can see everything that is inside of it without having to open it up. It is also double-sided and lies flat which is a huge plus for me. I love the fact that it is double-sided so you can put hair products on one side and face products and skincare on the other side. The bag is even large enough to hold a full size hairbrush. I do love that it zips all the way open and lies flat as well. This makes it so much easier to see everything when you can lay it out flat on the bathroom counter. I am linking this amazing bag here: Shop Calpak Toiletry Bag.
Calpak Luka Duffel
Another one of my favorite travel bags is also Calpak. I do truly love almost every product I have ever used of theirs. They are stylish and the quality is great. This product is the Calpak Luka Duffel. This is a great bag for any flight that you may have. It is small enough to be used as your “personal item” on the plane, meaning that it can fit under the seat, but it is large enough to hold numerous items. I can fit the Calpak toiletry bag mentioned above, my laptop, my chargers, my medicine bag, curling iron and small makeup bag all in this bag when I fly. Another reason this bag is so great for airport travel is because it has the trolley pass through. This is that little strap on the back of the bag that allows it to slide over the handle of your rolling suitcase, making walking through the airport with your luggage a breeze. I cannot recommend this bag enough. You can shop this bag here: Shop Calpak Luka Duffel.
Pill Organizers
This travel essential may be small and very inexpensive but it really does come in handy and keeps me organized. This pill organizer is a must for me now when I travel. The older I get, the more pills I take. Does anyone feel me on this? I take daily vitamins and medication so with these I use the weekly pill organizer. I always feel the need to pack other types of medicines too that I don’t take every day, but like to have with me just in case. With these medications I use the basic pill organizer.
Both of these are great and I highly recommend getting both. You can shop both organizers here: weekly pill organizer and basic pill organizer.
Packing Cubes
This is always a debatable packing essential, and people definitely have mixed feelings about them, but I love packing cubes. I do think they save space in a suitcase, but not as much as you might hope. The main reason I love a packing cube is because it helps keep me organized and makes unpacking at the hotel a breeze. If something doesn’t need to be hung up once we get there, then I typically just leave the clothes in the packing cubes and put them in the drawers that way. It is just such an easy way to keep everything organized and save time when unpacking at your destination. Shop packing cubes here: Packing cubes
Clothes Rack
Ok, this last one may be a little weird, but I truly believe this helps in making packing a whole lot easier. I use this before every trip that I have to pack for, even for a little long weekend trip. These clothing racks are a must have for me when it comes to packing. It helps me hang everything up that I plan on taking on the trip. I also hang my kids clothes on it as well. It helps me to visually see what I am taking and plan all of my outfits out. This truly helps keep me from overpacking and bringing things that I won’t necessarily need. If you don’t already have one of these then I highly suggest grabbing one. I really like this one because it has place for bags, shoes, etc. Shop this clothing rack here: Shop Clothing Rack
I hope these items can help make your packing experience a little more pleasant and a lot less stressful.
