Packing for a trip can seem like a last-minute scurry to grab anything and everything sitting around your home and tossing it into your luggage. But before you scramble to pack unnecessary items, what if your home was already full of products that can serve as helpful travel accessories? See below for some suggestions for how to use everyday products during your next trip.
Pill Bottles
Used medicine bottles can be used to store important items travelers want to keep hidden, such as emergency cash. The bottles are also just the right size to hold the TSA-approved amount of liquids such as lotion, shampoo or body wash.
Pill Organizers
In the same vein of medicinal storage containers, the weekly pill organizer boxes provide seven (or more) identically sized slots for small fluids like lip gloss, moisturizer and make-up like foundation and blush. The secure compartments stay closed and keep liquids from spilling out into luggage.
Plastic Bags
Packers who adore organization but who don´t feel like forking over cash for color-coded compartment bags can resort to plastic bags to separate their clothing and shoes by category. Use different colored plastic bags to keep items separate and easily identifiable.
Duct Tape
The tried and true fix-it tool for everything should not be overlooked when planning travel. Whether a suitcase rips after a bumpy flight or shoes laces break during a lengthy hike, duct tape ensures a quick and reliable fix.
