Your Must Have Holiday Essentials for 2024
As we hit the peak of the summer season, it’s time to start planning the most important thing of all – your holiday looks. Whether you’re heading for sunny beaches abroad, historic European cities, or the Great British countryside, having the right essentials to make your trip perfect can make all the difference. Here’s how to travel in comfort and style.
Personalised Suitcases
A huge trend for 2024 is for unique luggage. Not only does it give your look that individual touch, it makes identifying your case at the luggage carousel a breeze. Companies like My Personalised Suitcase offer a wide range of customisation options from standard colours and designs to the option to upload your own pictures. This is a practical and stylish upgrade that won’t break the bank.
Noise-cancelling Headphones
If you’re not among the super-rich and can’t afford your own personal oasis, create your own with some good noise-cancelling headphones. An essential for dealing with noisy plane engines, talkative passengers, or just the overwhelming bustle of a busy airport, noise-cancelling headphones will allow you to relax with your favourite holiday playlist, or just catch up on sleep without being kept awake by your surroundings. There are a variety of options to suit all budgets, so shop around for the option that suits your needs and your purse.
Portable Charger
Our digital devices are much more than single-purpose items these days – your phone isn’t only for making and taking calls, it’s probably your camera, your music player, your GPS, and your means of making payments too, and that’s just scratching the surface. If your phone runs out of battery, it could mean more than just a boring trip without tunes, it could mean you can’t check in for your flight. Opt for a high-capacity charger than can charge multiple devices simultaneously, making sure they are always ready to use.
Travel Pillow
Long flights or train journeys are usually a good opportunity to catch up on nap time. However, if you don’t have a good travel pillow, you could end up with a stiff neck. Memory foam options that support your neck and head properly can be compact and easy to pack, and make you eager to check in just so you can sleep!
Water Bottle
Air travel can be dehydrating, so making sure you drink enough water is important. Although it can be tempting to tank up on coffee if you’re on an early flight, or enjoy an in-flight glass of champagne, an insulated reusable water bottle will mean you can enjoy chilled water whenever you need it and look after the environment by reducing plastic waste.
Decant Your Toiletries
A well-organised toiletry kit can save you a lot of time and hassle. Invest in a good quality set of travel-size bottles that you can decant your normal skincare and hair care into. Although it can be tempting to splash out and try something new on holiday, sun can make your skin extra-sensitive and prone to breakouts so leave those tempting duty free purchases until you get home. Toiletry bags that fold open and hang on the back of bathroom doors can save space in small hotel bathrooms and make it easy for you to find everything you need when you want all your time for going out and exploring.
E-Readers
If you’re a bookworm, the days of filling half your case with paperbacks (or hoping the hotel had a shelf of books left by previous guests) are gone. No matter how quickly you read, you can now take an entire library’s worth of reading material with you, and even download new books on the go. Perfect for lounging by the pool.
Conclusion
With these essentials in place, you’re set for a smooth trip, whether it’s a quick weekend away or a fortnight in the sun. Ready to upgrade further? Visit My Personalised Suitcase and customise your luggage to your heart’s content. Happy packing!
