I used to be an overpacker but am learning to carry less and mix and match but Ive been using packing cubes for about 2 years now and love them. I roll my items and they come out fine. Have a great trip
Love packing cubes. Such a great way to organize your clothes. And playing Tetris with them is the best part.
I am a fellow overpacker.You never know what you will feel like wearing on any given day and I'd rather have something and not need it than want it and regret not having packed it.Hope Florida was amazing for you both xx
Personally I love them, pink is so pretty.
I like packing. I hate unpacking especially when you get home again.
Me too!!
Me too! Haha 🤣
Always mix his with hers then if a case goes missing you will both have something to wear x
We always do that lost cases too many times. Chris x

Love those packing cubes em, have a lovely time girly x
I'm deffinatly going to get some packing cubes Emma I've been wanting to try them for a while. Thanks for sharing hope you had a great time in Florida xx
Packing cubes. A great idea. Found it so easy to pack for my cruise. Thanks for the tips.
Enjoy florida☺️🌴🌴
Enjoyed your packing cubes video.
I like parking cubes they keep things really organized they are really great.
Great video as always Em. I’m off out now to buy packing cubes! But on a side note, little Teddy’s face peeping over the suitcase towards the end.....he looked so sad that you were packing to go away. 😂😍
That was such a great video I found so relaxing and helpful and love how it all fit at the end easily and zipped so smoothly and sounded so nice to like I could hear a vacation calling me loved ziping sounds so there so relaxing when your finished packing
I was just debating whether or not to buy packing cubes this morning! Such good timing 🤣
Another good travel tool to have is a portable luggage scale. It's great for making sure your luggage don't go over the weight limit.
I would 100% roll them as u will fit more into the square but great vid
I love packing cubes!!
Thanks for the review. I’m sold. Can’t wait to order my set.
i love your no-nonsense review :D
I LOVE THAT SUITCASE!!!
Really useful thank you. Hope you are having a great holiday xx
I just picked these ones up from Aldi Australia. I’m so excited to try them on my next holiday
I love packing cubes especially for travelling hand luggage they don't last long but at the price it's fine if you need to buy them every time you go away xx
Buy a better quality one. Less trash for our planet.
Em is that a carry on bag or a check bag? I love cubes too- My son whom travels for work got me on them, and he rolls his clothes and so do I now- it does seem to helps on wrinkles-- Hope your having a great trip!
Love your pink heart suitcase! !
Wow.. I'm buying 2 sets of This po.....love it
Hi sweet I always use the vacuum bags and jus try ask to use the vacuum when coming home
That’s a lovely suitcase!
Isnt it all going to be very creased? Interested to know what it was like when you unpacked..especially the cardis.
Happy holiday!
Thanks for this video its made me buy the same ones x
I have that same set. Glad I watched this
Great video only just thinking about these
We love our packing cubes, my husband loves them because he does the packing while I supervise him. We go with leger coach holidays so I'm like you I like to change so dresses in one cube, undies ,swimming costume, including nightdress a towel in another one. Next one 👡. In the small one I put makeup 💄 in pkt of tea tree wipes microcellular water 💧 with cotton wool pads and also my small jewellery pouch ( which opens up like a flower and it's got all little pockets in for earrings and necklaces then you pull the two cords and tie it in a bow. So that goes into the cube. My hubby Jim carries on doing the the rest.
I love your suitcase 😍
I love watching this videos. I learn a lot from it . Thanks for the ideas . Keep sharing more videos and God Bless.
Brilliant idea, but you don't need a towel or hair dryer. Provided by the hotel. I am an overpacker also. I've learned though that I can always purchase anything I need. Enjoy the wedding and Florida. Hope the rain did not ruin anything.
Beth Colarusso, they will even supply towels for the pool or the beach.
I know this is am old video but where did you get the pink suitcase?
The cubes are made for take out the clothes and put them into the holiday cab easily and rapidly and so on
Love packing cube x I’m taking mine with me to rome for first time in cabin bag
Also tip: your dresses can easily be rolled and t-shirts - get more in cubes
Oh another tip - transfer dirty clothes into one case and clean ones, and everything else in the other xxx have a lovely time x
Packing cubes are great!!!
If you put your hair tools in the bottom center of the packing cubes side between the 2 rails, it uses that empty space well. Nice video. I love my packing cubes. What's in your carryon personal item? How about a video on that?
I take far more than that I must be massively over packing!!
HA! You pack like i do! just jam it in!
I love your Minnie Mouse makeup bag!! Where did you get it?
I would put my shoes in plastic bags , shoes are not clean underneath
I always take my shoes out of the bag by hand into a cube fit for take shoes during travelling.
If the packing cube set comes with a big enough bag, use that instead of plastic bags
I love packing cubes, they've been a life saver for me ... but I roll for (at least) two reasons: clothes stay less wrinkled and I'm on the move usually so they then work like drawers, I don't have to empty them, I can see all my clothes and grab the one item I want to wear and leave the rest packed ... less work. I also do only carry on because one of my big travel "purpose" is to chase a rock star around on his tour so I'm staying in each hotel for only one or two days ... the one time my luggage got lost, it took them three days to find me, so I might not get my stuff back during my trip! And, my goal is opposite to yours ... light packing ... it's a "good" trip/packing if I actually use every item (except the items in my first aid kit!). But, based on my last trip, I may start combining a couple of my smaller cubes ... I was taking out and using too many cubes (cables, makeup, sundries) ... then having to repack them as I left each hotel! ps, good, fun video!
We want to get married in Florida this December any details re wedding venue etc would be amazing as so hard to do when you've never been xx
I just bought one set.I hope this helps
It can not help work if I don’t have a bag.i like my bagail packing cubes.it can help me save space.
I like choices too. I hate to wear the same thing more than once ; on a holiday; unless I love the item.
Teresa Harris, run the risk of being overweight for your luggage . That isn’t cheap. With the money you would save from that you could put it towards an extra tour, a nicer restaurant maybe for a special meal or maybe even a show that you had wanted to see. I am usually an over-packer as well. I find I never use 3/4 of the stuff I have packed. This time I cut back drastically on what I packed to the point my dh and I could share a medium size suitcase with room and weight to spare. My dh also cut back on what he packed. I still didn’t wear everything I took. We each had our own carryon which was packed with the usual stuff. We found it cheaper as even our 1st bag is $30.00 Cdn. We also didn’t feel like pack mules. WHAT A WONDERFUL CHANGE! Our suitcase leaving for our vacation was under 12 kg or 26 lbs and coming home it was under 17 kg or 37 lbs. on the ship it was also easier to stow 1 suitcase instead if 2.
I love your accent, lovely.
Loved this! Really helpful x
Hello. Please cound you give me the link on where you got them from. Thanks
Nice video. 👌🏾
Thank you I enjoyed watching. I was just you g to ask where you got them when you said you linked them below 😁 thanks
If you roll your clothing, it eliminates wrinkles and allows for better packing.
Referred by River.
Packing videos always remind me of the time my dad gave us a lift to the airport and when we opened the boot... my case wasn't there and there wasn't time to fetch it, so I went without it! 😂
I tried using packing cubes and they are amazing but now I switched to a duffle bag. Tried Nomad Lane's Bento bag and it's a good choice.
Nice video
I like using packing cubes. Check out my latest video as I use eBags to pack!
i have a packing cube HORROR story, one time my friend was on a week long trip she had picked everything into packing cubes. the zipper on the cube with her tops in it broke off not just the pully part ( i don't know what its called XD) the WHOLE DANG ZIPPER! so she didn't have any shirts to wear. she ended up spending 250 dollars on 5 shirts in target. lesson learned DONT PUT ALLLLL OF YOUR CLOTHES INTO PACKING CUBES! (i mean she is fairly rough with things and the cubes were old but still, THE WHOLE DANG ZIPPER!)
You can still wear the shirts right? Even if the zipper of the packing cube broke off? Or just put the shirts without the packing cube in your suitcase. How does breaking the packing cube result in losing all the shirts? Weird story.
Why did she spent so much money for new shirts when she just needed to destroy the broken cube and wear the shirts she brought with her in it? Confusing story...
@@SilviaHeymann right?? She could have just went down to the lobby and asked to borrow some scissors.
Shoes should be in plastic bags or separate packing cubes for sanitary reasons!!
All I could think watching is wouldn’t all your clothes be super creased lol, don’t think the cubes would be for me!! Have a great time!
I was thinking the same might use them for undies though so they could go straight in to the drawers I think they waste to much space for us .
Nope. Packing cubes if you actually roll the clothes properly and know how too pack, it will not produce wrinkles or creases.
Give the cubes a try, you might be surprised. My husband and I just got back from a 1 week cruise and packed 1 suitcase between us (the 26” or middle size) using the cubes and we still had room in the case. Btw, I still had clothes I didn’t wear. I used 2 cubes: a small medium that had 5 pairs of undies, 2 bras, and 3 bathing suits or swimming costumes; in the large medium I had 4 or 5 tops, 1 dress, 3 pairs of capris, and 1 pair of longer pants. I forgot to mention 2 pairs of sandals in the suitcase. In my carryon I had: my meds (prescriptions in their original bottles, Tylenol, anti diarrhea meds and anti nausea) my liquids bag that included my toothpaste and toothbrush, my iPad, my knitting, an extra outfit including undies - in case the suitcase didn’t make it, my passport, boarding passes, and my purse. There was extra room in there as well. All cases were regulation size. My husband packed about 4 tee shirts, 3 pairs of shorts, a couple of nice sports shirts, 5 or more pairs of underwear and I think a pair of shoes. In his carryon he had: his meds, shaving kit, 2 cameras, an extra tee shirt and some reading material as well as his passport and boarding passes. Our suitcase weighed in leaving at 26 lbs or under 12 kilos and coming home weighed in at 37 lbs or 16.8 kilos. That was for the two of us. Btw, I was an over packer before this trip. We both liked how it felt not to be shlepping around an awful lot more than we needed. I think we are going to try the cubes for the carryon and changing up our carryon as well.
i believe your carry on over 7kg XDD
These are designed to separate things not save space.
What about the weight though. It’s fitting it all in for 20 kg
Dee Ferry, by using the cubes my husband and I shared a medium size suitcase with room and weight to spare. Going away 2 weeks ago our suitcase weighed in at under 12 kg and coming back home last week under 17 kg. So we still had room and weight to spare for 1 person never mind 2 people.
I really don't think you needed that towel!
Your toiletry looked like it could have fit in your handbag. Save more space.
recommend Bagail Packing cubes，affordable price with high quality。
Not at all, you're VERY welcome
jessie bell lots of love 💕
Was anyone else cringing over how sloppy she was with folding when she put her clothes in the pouches! Girl is going to have some wrinkly clothes!
Maitlin Ullom thanks so much for your comment and concern on my clothes. They were fine thanks. Oh also..... we had an iron in our hotel room soooo 👍🏻
You wouldn't have a clue how to pack. Even with cubes you have to fold things to fit the cube. Organisation? You wouldn't know it if you fell over it!!!
jessie bell thank so much for your lovely comment. ☺️💋
Wow, how rude!
Fairly certain she knows she struggles with suitcase organization.. which is why she bought these and showed us them
I love packing cubes!
