Saltee secrets to packing smart

You’ve booked your dream holiday, you’ve completed your pre-vacay shopping, you’ve planned some exciting adventures for arrival and now you’re ready to pack up your case and head off to catch your flight.

Packing can often be over-whelming, something left to the last minute or planned weeks in advance, we’ve put together our top 8 suitcase packing hacks to get you as seamlessly as possible from home to hotel.

Here are our holiday packing tips:

Roll don’t fold

When it comes to holiday packing hacks this is key! It’s tempting to just throw in your holiday pieces randomly and then hope you can zip your suitcase shut with brute force. Instead why not take a little time to roll each garment and slot them in upright so you can see what you’ve packed.  Not only does this save space but it also means, less wrinkly clothing and no calls to reception for their travel iron!

Hand-luggage only?

For shorter breaks, it’s often easier to pack lightly and save time with just a carry-on. You’ll be surprised how much you can fit in a small case, especially with some of our holiday packing tips. You’ll need to reduce your shoe consumption and take only must have toiletries (like Saltee) but congratulate yourself as you get  first in the hire car queue.  Sunhats are also easier to wear during your flight to save room, particulalry if you picked up a local version in Panama or Mexico.

All your Saltee essentials for you holiday packing list

Plan your holiday outfits

We’re all a little guilty of overpacking at times! Planning your beach holiday outfits ahead of time can really help with suitcase space and make it easier to keep organised and stress free when you’re away. Take enough swimwear and plan your evening outfits so you only pack what you need. We favour thin-knits for a space saving way to keep warm.

Try and take travel sizes

For carry-on this is essential, but this is also a great way to pack your case, saving space and weight. Make sure your holiday packing list includes your favourite products in mini sizes. We love these luxury bath and body minis by Noble Isle.

Always travel with Saltee suncream

We all know how important it is to protect your skin in the sun, especially on a beach holiday. Saltee Face products are available in 50ml sizes making them ideal to pop in your hand-luggage.  The Daily Protection Formula is perfect for a quick refresh and hydration on your flight and the handy tube makes it quick and easy to use. The beautiful pump style bottle on the Saltee body collection means you’ll avoid any unwanted leaks. Ensure Saltee is part of your beach holiday packing list.

Don’t overpack for the kids

The kids will ultimately live in their swimwear during a beach holiday so, leave room for plenty of these. Ensure your packing list includes some light summer outfits and footwear, sunhats and beach shoes and they’re ready for a week in the sun.

Download your travel films

Keep the kids entertained while travelling especially if you’re going long-haul. We recommend downloading a few favourite films ahead of you trip for your children to enjoy on the flight or on long drives.

Relax and enjoy

Last but not least, enjoy every moment of your trip.  Whether you’re seeking adventure, R & R poolside or making memories with the family, make sure every moment is just as unforgettable as you hoped!

Take the pressure off and stock up on your Saltee suncare, pre-vacay.  We can’t wait to join you on your next adventure!
