Tempting as it often is to keep travel plugs and adapters with other electricals, or holiday toiletries with other toiletries, there are mountains of these things, as well as clothing, that you ONLY or mostly only use for holiday. It makes sense to have a dedicated draw or box for travel items. In here you can have foreign money, adaptors, holiday toiletries, bikinis and other holiday clothing, toiletry bags, pouches for separating items (like cables, underwear), shoe bags, medication you only use for holiday, and other things that make sense to you (suitcase padlock, fold up cushion, travel pillows, beach bags, you name it). Storing these things together means that you aren’t scrabbling around in a million different places when you are packing for holiday. When you come back from this summer’s trip, make it the time when you rearrange your travel storage. You can even keep it near a suitcase, if that’s an accessible place for you. After rearranging and organising, you may find yourself with a surfeit of toiletry bags or pouches and you can use these to organise other toiletries in your bathroom - things you use but don’t need to access all the time.
Knowing where everything is means you won’t be buying duplicates and then clogging up storage in your home, only to find it all later.
We recently helped a lady who got rid of a lot of toiletry bags, but we used some for other storage – she just didn’t realise how many she had.
We do hope you enjoy your next holiday!
