Part of planning your festive escape back home is deciding how in the world you’re going to get all the essentials and presents packed in an efficient way.

Nobody wants to be crouching on the floor at check-in trying to re-organise the suitcases that are over the weight limit, neither do you want to fight for overhead storage space in the plane. With the holidays being one of the busiest and stressful time for travellers, knowing how to pack and what travel-friendly items to invest in is key.
Bag It
The luxury suitcase brand Rimowa have given their bags a face lift with a more sportier finish. Still as spacious as they are stylish, the new Trunk design offers a side handle making it that much easier to pick of the luggage belt.
Roll, Not Fold
Casual items likes jeans and T-shirts can easily be rolled up instead of folded to save space. For shirts, take extra care when packing and keep those cardboard collar supports to avoid creasing. Suit jackets do well in zip-up clothes bags, but if space is an issue then wear yours on the flight.

Think Essentials
Consider the occasions and weather before selecting your capsule. Having a list also helps with organising your getaway wardrobe.
Travel Size It
Skincare and grooming can easily be minimized when you buy in travel size. Our tip is to head somewhere like Muji and stock up on empty bottles that you can fill up with what you need and then re-use time and time again.
E-Presents
Save yourself the hassle and order items online to be delivered straight to your home. If that’s not an option, then pack your presents in their original packaging and get wrapping paper and ribbons at your destination.
