Summer Travel Must Haves

Who else has the itch to travel?!

We’re headed on a road trip to the beach, and while I love going on vacation, packing tends to be a chore.

Any other over packers?

But I recently ordered some packing organizers and other summer travel must haves.  Some have already made such a difference in getting our things together!  And I can’t wait to try a few others out.

Summer Travel Must Haves

 

 

 

Packing Cubes

I’ve been wanting a set of packing cubes and decided to try one out this summer.  I loved them so much I immediately ordered these for the kids too, since my exact ones wouldn’t arrive in time for our trip.

Having everything grouped together in the packing cubes makes finding things SO much easier!

 

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is another must for protecting our skin.  I love the Supergoop brand. I’ve been using it ever since it was  recommended by the makeup artist Bobbi Brown in her Masterclass.

I use both the Zincscreen and Glowscreen sunscreens.

 

Unicorn Pool Float

If you’re traveling anywhere with a pool, and you’re able to bring a pool float, they’re a lot of fun.  There are so many fun ones to pick from, but this oversized unicorn one was our favorite.

 

Sunglasses

I’ve really liked my aviator style sunglasses from Amazon.  They’re inexpensive which is nice because I don’t worry about breaking them or losing them at the beach or pool

 

 

Beach Mat

I got this large sized beach mat for the beach.  We got the largest size and it looks very useful with the type of material and anchors for the sand.

 

 

Travel Jewelry Case

Before I found this Travel Jewelry Case on Amazon, I either didn’t bring much jewelry on vacation, or I’d place it into individual zip lock bags.  This case is so much easier because it keeps the jewelry in place and allows for everything to be in the same bag.

The jewelry cases come in different colors and sizes; mine is the larger size.

 

 

Waterproof Cell Phone Cases

I wanted to be able to take pictures on my cell phone without worrying about my phone getting messed up at the pool or beach.  This set comes with 2 waterproof cell phone cases that you can still use while in the case.

 

 

Electronics Travel Case

This case is handy for keeping some of your electronic and cords to devihces all together in one place.

 

Sun Hat

One of my must haves for staying safe in the sun is to wear a sun hat.  I’m bringing this one and this one that I’ve had for a few years.  It’s foldable and easy for packing.

 

Kids’ Sandals

I got these sandals for my daughter and these sandals for my son this summer.  They’re great because they’re waterproof and can be worn in the sand.

Toiletry Travel Bag

This toiletry bag comes in  a few sizes – I got the larger one which holds full sized bottles of product. There are lots of zippered compartments and a hook to hang on a door.

Luggage Set

This affordable set of luggage comes in a bunch of colors and is an Amazon Best Seller.

 

Beach Bag

This beach bag has great ratings and comes in different colors.  I love how it has a bunch of pockets around the outside for easy access.  The bag is mesh which is great because it doesn’t hold onto sand.

VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA Comment “GIFT” and I VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA  Comment “GIFT” and I’ll send you a direct message with the links to shop!  💕This heart pillow makes the perfect gift for friends and family - especially those who live far away! It’s like giving and receiving a hug!  💕The pillow is soft and the perfect size — making it a cute piece of decor on a couch or bed too.  💕The sweetest note is included that I think adds a personal and perfect touch! This pillow comes in plenty of pretty colors but they tend to sell out or colors get limited during Valentines Day.  💕But save this post for later because it makes a great gift throughout the year too.  It’s a perfect ‘just because’ or ‘thinking of you’ gift - or if someone close to you is going through an illness or tough time.  💕I’m about to put this one in the mail to someone special - and I can’t wait for them to get it! 🥰 And if you give this (or get this) pillow, I hope you enjoy too! 🫶  #valentinesgift #valentinesdaygift #valentinegifts #valentinegiftideas #valentinegiftsforher #valentinegiftidea #heartpillow #valentinesday #valentinesday2024 #valentinesdayideas
