🧳 Packing & Luggage Essentials
My tried-and-tested travel packing essentials for keeping luggage organised and making packing for a family holiday easier. These are the bags, organisers and packing accessories I actually use and take away with us
I’ve used these packing cubes for a few years now and honestly wouldn’t travel without them 🧳 We have different colours for each member of the family, which has been an absolute lifesaver on longer trips when we’re moving between different places. E...
Packing Cubes | My Must-Have for Organised Suitcases
I bought the Salkan Shorthaul 27L specifically for our South Africa trip and it’s been such a good buy 🎒✈️ I love that I can get into it from the top like a normal backpack, but there’s also a front zip which makes it so much easier to grab things w...
Salkan Short Haul 27L Backpack | My Favourite Travel Backpack
This is actually my second one of these. My first was orange (obviously 🧡😂) and it has worn so well that I bought the pink for this trip. It’s a brilliant size for hand luggage, holds loads without feeling ridiculously bulky and then doubles up as ...
Lacoste Tote Bag | My Hand Luggage & Beach Bag
My very well-travelled Stackers wash bag 🧡 This has been on so many trips with me and is still going strong! It’s really sturdy, beautifully made and holds an unbelievable amount. I love all the different compartments for keeping everything organis...
Stackers Travel Wash Bag | Spacious & Easy to Organise
Such a simple little travel essential, but it makes life so much easier 💊✈️ I use a travel pill case to keep all the tablets and supplements I need while we’re away organised in one place, rather than travelling with lots of separate packets and bot...
Weekly Travel Pill Organiser | 7-Day Medication & Supplement Storage
One of those really simple travel buys that has ended up coming on so many trips with us 🧺✈️ It folds completely flat in the suitcase, then pops open when we arrive and gives everyone somewhere to put their dirty clothes rather than having them scat...
Collapsible Pop-Up Laundry Basket | My Holiday Laundry Essentia
🧳 One of those boring-but-brilliant things that comes on every flight trip with us! I always weigh our suitcases before we leave home and again before the return flight, especially after a bit of holiday shopping 😂. It takes away the guesswork and ...
Digital Luggage Scales | Essential Flight
🔌 Travel Tech & Gadgets
The travel tech and gadgets I actually pack, from keeping our phones and watches charged to adapters for travelling abroad. Practical things that make travelling as a family much easier
One of my favourite little travel gadgets 🔌✈️ This folds down really small but charges my iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods all from one plug, so I don’t need to pack separate chargers and cables for everything. It’s brilliant on a hotel bedside table...
3-in-1 Foldable Travel Charger | iPhone, Apple Watch & AirPods
A universal travel adapter is an absolute essential for us, especially when we’re travelling between different countries 🌍🔌 I love having one that works with multiple plug types and has USB and USB-C ports too, so we can charge several things witho...
Worldwide Travel Adapter | USB & USB-C Charging
One of those travel things I wish I’d started using sooner! I’m currently using an Airalo eSIM in South Africa and it’s been brilliant. Really straightforward to set up, good value and I’ve had no issues with it while travelling.
It means I can use ...
Airalo eSIM | Easy & Affordable Mobile Data Abroad
⚖️ Such a simple little gadget, but we use this on every flight trip. I weigh all our cases before we leave and pack the scales to use again before flying home, especially after any holiday shopping! 🧳 They’re tiny, take up virtually no luggage spac...

✈️ In-Flight & On-the-Go Essentials
The little things I pack to make flights and travel days easier, particularly for long-haul trips. These are practical travel essentials I’ve actually used rather than things I’ve bought just for a holiday
I keep one of these little pill cases in my hand luggage with a few essentials like painkillers, so I don’t have to go digging through bags when we’re on a flight 💊✈️ It’s tiny, has separate compartments and takes up hardly any room. Particularly ha...
Compact Travel Pill Organiser | Small Medication & Supplement Cas
🩴 Holiday Comfort & Everyday Essentials
Holiday essentials I pack because they’re comfortable, practical and genuinely useful once we arrive, from supportive footwear to everyday products that earn their suitcase space
Also on my second pair! My originals are taupe and I loved them enough to buy the pink to match my new Lacoste bag 🩷. These aren’t just normal flip flops, they have proper arch support and are incredibly comfortable. I originally bought them after s...
Archies Arch Support Flip Flops | Supportive Holiday Sandals
AG1 comes on holiday too 💚✈️ I take AG1 every morning at home, so I don’t really want to drop the routine when I travel. The individual travel sachets are brilliant for holidays because there’s no tub, scoop or measuring involved. I just throw enoug...
