We know it’s super exciting, but don’t lose your head just before your big adventure! Here are the handy holiday items that we’re most likely to forget when stuffing our suitcases…
1. Suncream
Unless you’re going for the sunkissed lobster look, make sure you pack that freshly bought tube of sun cream. Stay protected from top to toe as you head for the beach – it’s always best to stay safe from the sun’s rays with the correct UV rating for your skin type.
2. Sunglasses
Want to protect your peepers AND look super stylish all holiday? Remember to pack a pair of sunnies to enjoy your holiday to the full, without squinting and discomfort. And if you’re adventuring to the ski slopes or desert conditions, there are special lenses to try.
3. Books
Whether you’re a Kindle or paperback fan, the perfect holiday companion is a good beach read! From relaxing by the waves to looking up some great life tips, pack a book you love and you’ll never feel lost.
4. Flip flops
Shoes top the list for being left behind in a hurry! Make sure you’re not at the foot of Everest in your sandals, or strutting your funky stuff at the club in muddy hiking boots. Plus, stay steps ahead of the game with a trusty pair of flip flops for pools and pebbles.
5. Tech charger
Make sure you bring chargers for all your gadgets so you can make that essential phone call, snap a breathtaking view or finish your e-book chapter. Hunting for a new charger on holiday can be expensive, not to mention annoying if you’re desperate to connect!
Top tip:Â Before you start packing, create a list of suitcase essentials. And if you do forget something, don’t panic – many YHA hostel receptions stock toiletries and travel kits, phew!
