With all the Covid restrictions that have been in place over the last two years or so, it’s been a long time since families have had to think about what essential items to pack in their suitcases.  If you are going abroad for a week’s holiday in the sun and have limited baggage allowance, then you do have to pack smart.  Even if the hotel you are staying at provides towels for showering, you might well need a beach towel. Essentials to pack are, underwear, nightwear, for sleeping, light t shirts and shorts for the daytime, alongside a sunhat and glasses, some smart shirts and trousers for the evening and a couple of pairs of sandals should be enough to last you the week in a sunny climate.

Your toiletries bag or case is another essential and careful pack to consider. Most of the items you store in this case will need to be stowed away in the cargo hold as you can’t take pressurised containers or liquid on to an aeroplane as hand luggage.  Sun creams, deodorants, shampoos, toothpaste and toothbrush alongside a comb and hairbrush, just a few of the essential toiletries you should take with you.   Your suitcase itself should be as lightweight as possible, sturdy and have a decent lock attached. Some of the best and lightest cases have been branded and promoted by Marketing Strategy Consultants such as http://www.reallyhelpfulmarketing.co.uk/specialist-services/marketing-strategy-consultant/ these cases are purchased on their customer reviews, price, durability and brand.

Most people will have heard of Samsonite, Cath Kidston, Antler and Ted Baker, all famous names, and well-known brands.  These branded suitcases come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and different colours.  You can purchase just one or several sizes in the same design. Put something around your suitcase to make it stand out from others.  This way you will be able to spot it quickly when in the arrivals and collection hall of the airport. Always pack your suitcase yourself, never let anybody else do it for you and don’t carry something in your case for anybody else. With all these things in place you should be able to pack your families’ suitcases, quickly and easily and have enough clothes and essentials to last you a week. Enjoy your holiday, stay safe, use plenty of sun cream and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
