The summer holidays are here and that means: time to pack! Whether you're going camping, taking a city trip or heading to a tropical beach, it's always a challenge to pack smart and light. In this blog post we share the ultimate tips for packing your suitcase efficiently, so that you can enjoy your holiday worry-free.
Tip 1: Make a list
Before you start packing, it is useful to make a list of all the items you want to take with you. This ensures that you don't forget anything and gives you an overview of what you really need. Start with the basics like clothes, toiletries and important documents. Then add the extras, like a book, sunglasses or your favorite snacks.

Tip 2: Choose multifunctional items
One of the best ways to save space in your suitcase is to choose multifunctional items. This means that you take items with you that you can use for multiple purposes.
On holiday with 1 pot
Look, this is useful! Then take a jar of Body Butter from Idea Toscana with you. With one pot you are completely done with the care for your face and body. This Body Butter is not only wonderfully nourishing for your skin, but can also be used perfectly as an after-sun treatment. This way you don't have to drag around a bag full of jars and bottles! Moreover, this Body Butter is 100% natural and plant-based, so it is also good for your skin and the environment.
Tip 3: Roll up your clothes
Instead of folding your clothes, roll them up. This not only saves space, but also helps prevent wrinkles. Start with the heavier items such as pants and sweaters, and end with the lighter items such as t-shirts and dresses. This method leaves more space for other important items.

Tip 4: Use packing cubes
Packing cubes are small, lightweight bags in which you can organize your clothes and other items. They help you keep your suitcase organized and tidy. By dividing your clothes into different cubes, you can easily find what you are looking for without messing everything up.
Tip 5: Only take the essentials with you
We all have a tendency to overpack, but try to take only the essentials. With each item, ask yourself if you really need it or if it is a 'just in case' item. You can often also buy things at your destination if you have forgotten something.
Tip 6: Think about your hand luggage
In addition to your suitcase, it is also important to think carefully about your hand luggage. Make sure you have important documents, money, electronics and a change of clothes in here, in case your suitcase is delayed. Don't forget to bring a reusable water bottle so you always stay hydrated on the go.
Tip 7: Don't forget to relax
Last but not least, don't forget that vacation is for relaxing and enjoying yourself. Don't stress too much about packing and trust that you have everything you need. And if you forget something, it is usually for sale on site.
With these tips you can travel light and carefree to your holiday destination. Have fun packing and have a great summer vacation!
