WHERE TO NEXT

Well I said we’d do a part 2 and here we are! This week I present to you a continuation of our list of Travel Packing Saviours. These items have all become an absolute essential to me when travelling and really help with keeping my packing list to a minimum.

So pull out that pen and paper and get these added to your list for your next trip! If you haven’t already read the first list, you can do so here.

This handheld luggage scale, with an Overweight Warning Function that alerts you with a yellow LCD display, is an absolute must-have for traveler’s. It includes a low battery indicator and auto-off features to conserve power, locking the weight in 3 seconds and shutting down after 5 minutes of inactivity. With a maximum capacity of 50kg and four switchable units (lb/kg/oz/g), it also offers a tare function for precise measurements. The backlit LCD ensures easy reading in any light, and its compact, ergonomic and lightweight design, makes it convenient to carry and use all throughout your travels.

Now this one can be a bit hit or miss and is very much based on the traveller. However, if you are someone that loves to travel with a lot of toiletries or is also bringing makeup on your travels, then the AUMA hanging toiletry bag is essential for you and should definitely be added to your next packing list! Featuring a stow-away 360-degree swivel metal hook, this bag can be easily hung over a shower or door, making your toiletries more accessible compared to a standing bag. Ideal for short or long trips, camping, or family outings, this bag offers five spacious compartments with elastic straps to keep bottles upright, and transparent sides for easy viewing. Made of water-resistant polyester, it ensures your items stay dry and protected. The durable, easy-to-clean design makes it a perfect gift for travelers, whether used as a makeup organiser, bathroom bag or both.

This one may be not what you’d expect to see on this list, but when I tell you I’ll never go travelling without Carabiner Clips again I most definitely mean it! Now I’m not saying you need a whole lot of them, but having 4-6 can definitely come in handy. With an enhanced twist lock design that ensures a secure fit, these clips are perfect for attaching items like water bottles, shopping bags, or even bulkier items to your backpack or bag while travelling, giving you more space to pack your necessities. These clips have also come in handy when needing to extend a washing line or to hang items up in a hotel room to maximise room space.

Anti-theft clips are an essential travel accessory, providing a secure way to fasten and protect your belongings. Made from durable zinc alloy, these clips are resistant to breakage and deformation, ensuring long-term use. The S-shaped design with dual clasps offers enhanced security, helping to prevent the loss of valuables from sneaky pickpockets. Easy to operate with a simple press to open, these lightweight and compact clips are ideal for all forms of travel, offering peace of mind and convenience while on the go.

A packable rain jacket is an essential travel item due to its versatility and convenience. Lightweight and easily compressible, it can be stowed away in your bag, pocket or hung from your bag, ready to protect you from unexpected weather. Whether you’re exploring a city, hiking in the mountains, or simply walking between destinations, a packable rain jacket keeps you dry without weighing you down. It also doubles as a windbreaker, offering added warmth in cooler conditions. The practicality of having quick access to rain protection ensures that you stay comfortable and prepared, making it a must-have for any travel adventure.

And that’s it! All the items that have become an absolute essential for our travels! I hope these bring you as much ease when travelling as they have to all of us here at Where to Next!

Always remember to tailor your packing list to your specific needs and destination. Whether you’re embarking on a quick weekend getaway or a long international adventure, being well-prepared with the right items ensures that you can focus on enjoying your journey rather than worrying about what you might have forgotten and always leave a little room for the unexpected.

As always, Happy Travels and now, happy packing!
