I luv to carry cute travel everyday items in my purse because you never know when you might need something. Thanks for sharing! I am a new subbie and I am binge watching your videos!!
Terrific travel ideas! I also bring an Earth Breeze Laundry Sheet in a snack size zip lock bag in case I need to wash out something. You can easily rip the sheet to use 1/4 of a sheet to wash something in the sink. I’m ordering several of your suggestions for my grand daughter who travels a lot for sports and for her 4H show pigs. She’s a girlie girl and loves her jewelry and bling. I know she will love that magnetic pill box for her earrings & a couple necklaces. That little mirror will also be used for putting in contacts and her makeup. I travel with my quilting buddies so I’ll be using lots of your suggestions too like that fan! Thank you for sharing your travel tips! 🥰
Thank you! I have seen the laundry sheets, but never tried them. So, I will have to do that, thanks for the tip! I hope your Granddaughter loves these travel items as much as I do. And the fan is a MUST for your next trip, it's such a life saver!
I use multiple contact lenses cases for face wash, face scrub, face cream, Vicks, Vaseline, etc… just enough for a week to 10 days for me using both L and R for the creams and lotions. 5 packs a dollar tree, and a marker to write the contents. Works great when other stuff has to go in the quart size bag.
Instead of the tide pen, i use the shout wipes. They come in a packet and not only do they remove whatever you spill, they also work as a stain remover because it stays on the spill and when you wash the item it already has stain remover on it. I recently subscribed and am having a great time watching your videos. I have looked for a long time for someone more like me when packing and small travel items. Lol any store we go in my husband knows we will end up at the travel size stuff in the store.
That is so accurate about Europe! We were out in Paris and it was beautiful then out of nowhere it started POURING 😮😮😮. The hotel had given my friend an umbrella but it was so bad it broke on him! Thankfully we didn’t get soaked and it went back to sunny but lesson learned always keep an umbrella over there 😂
I wish I had a small sewing kit on my last holiday. My dress strap broke the first time I had worn it and I was gutted I could wear it. I know have bought that same little kit to keep one in my handbag and one I take on holiday with me. I keep a box of travel items so when packing I don’t miss things.
I also purchased shampoo in a soap bar. They have in Amazon the shampoo and conditioner. If you are planning a trip to Asia, purchase the soap sheets and toilet covers. They normally do not put hand soap in their bathrooms. I found that even in the US some household do not use hand soap!!! I love the portable fan/flashlight and charger. I will check it out because I also want the fan noise to sleep. On a cruise ship, it’s essential to take a flashlight too. But since all Apple phones have one integrated, you might now need to take one. Another one of my favorites are shower caps. I buy them at the dollar store. Most hotels and cruise ship no longer provide you with shower caps. Thanks for the great ideas.
I am skeptical of a shampoo bar lol, I need to try one though, just to see. I love that little fan, it's awesome! And taking a shower cap is a must, so good call out. I love the dollar store and that's great place to snag travel essentials too!
I use zipped clear vinyl pencil cases when I travel - one for a pared down make up kit, with nail clippers, tweezers, nail file, emery boards, one for hair clips, grips, bands, and a pair of scissors. comb with three rows of teeth so brush- like. A very small mirror, plain and magnifying for doing hair and make up. Dental - I have short toothbrushes and tiny tubes of toothpaste (as per airline give aways) which go into a tall slim beaker with a screw lid, beaker together with a small floss dispenser. I also have toothbrushes that pull apart, the head half slips into the bottom half and clicks in - stays in my handbag to cope with seeds and things that sometimes hide in small crevices when I'm eating out - quick trip to the bathroom and dealt with in private. .Toiletries - I have sets of small travel bottles and pots (shallow and a bit deeper), decant toiletries into them. I have a huge roll of paper linen mix towels, they are much biggrr than kitchen paper towels (and they can be laundered). I cut off a third for a wash cloth, the two thirds becomes the towel, and they can be binned - no having to pack wet face cloths. My other substitute face cloths are cheap packs of small dishcloths which, again, can be binned. medicines - the blister packs, enough for the time I'm away plus a little extra for emergency delays, into a ziploc baggie. Anything in bottles has to stay in bottles. I also use ziploc baggies, in various sizes, for sticking plasters, antiseptic cream etc., and to make up my own sewing kit to cater for the basic clothing colours I'm taking, push needles into a small piece of sponge, or find a small container for them , wind threads round some cardboard (or a straw), cut 2 slits in the end to hold the free end of the thread, and always include a small selection of safety pins, plus eedle threader and small good scissors. . The very small ones can sometimes deal with an emergency as soon as it happens, and not be too visible, so keep safety pins in your handvag. Pencil cases and baggies are very pliable, can tuck into odd gaps in the suitcase . The one thing I always take in a solid click lid container is any tech cables and plugs, to ensure they never get damaged, together with a small torch. And one essential is a bank card size magnifying sheet in its own flat clear popper wallet - I don't always have my bi-focal glasses with me if I'm not going to be driving. . I do have good travel bags with trolley sleeves but they are sturdy - I shall look for those that fold up - I often take a bag of additional items, gifts, when I'm going to family, so putting it in the case for the return journey would be helpful. Great video, lots of suggestions (may not be available here in UK but will look for similar), my priority is to take as little weight as possible - in my 80th year I'm not the girl I used to be, some days are good, some are not so good, so always take a folding walking stick. I no longer travel abroad, just car or public transport in UK, and mostly to family or friends., but you never know when travel delays could happen, might have to stay over night in a . Hasn't life changed - many years ago it was just different size suitcases for any travel, now I have sturdy 2- or 4-wheeled cases that can take a lot of handling when being stowed in plane or coach luggage holds, I have less sturdy fir going in the car boot, and smaller lighter for using public transport. I also have 2 wheeled backpacks, twin stem retractable handle (useful for the odd overnight hospital stay!) Great video, thank you. UK. E ❤. . .
Thank you for sharing all your tips, tricks and DIY hacks for traveling! Sturdy luggage with 4 wheels is such a life saver, really anything with wheels for traveling is the best and just makes everything easier. Trying to minimize what you bring and having to lug around the least amount of stuff as possible is always better. I just got back from Italy and found that I could have definitely left some things at home and reduced what I brought. So, I will be doing an unpacking video reviewing that as well.
@@ThickGirlzGuidethank you for your response, I'm looking forward to your unpacking video. I used to have holidays abroad, would always buy toiletries, laundry liquid, etc when I arrived,, and leave what wasn't used for the hotel maids to take if they wanted them. Not sure we should do that now, health and safety might say that's a no-no? At a push Fairy (UK) washing up liquid will wash your clothes and shampoo your hair. And you won't need much. UK. E♥️
Great video! I am getting the portable fan. Too bad they do not make an umbrella that charges lol. I thought I had it all. There are always new products.
Majority of my item I bought for travel I got from Temu. I have a storage case so all my travel essentials are all in one place so when I get ready for a trip everything is there and I can repurchase if something ran out or gets low. I have many of the items you purchased or comparable. There are a few things you mentioned I will purchase. Some other items I bought: travel size wash clothes very durable comes compact but when wet full wash cloth. travel Lysol, travel clothes wash sheets, travel, mini hand paper soap, alarm door stop, personalized alarm. I might do an essential video of items I have. I never did a video before.
@ThickGirlzGuide definitely check out the items I listed they are pretty cool especially the compact wash cloths. I appecite you mentioning the travel hangers that is one of the items I put in my cart
Great finds. The 3 in 1 fan light charger; the phone stand and clamper amd the glitter phone charger is fab. I have a travel speaker and vanity case with threads and scissors is great too. Love all these. Pls give us more 5ips and small items. Woukd you know of a small portable but efficient steam iron?? Woukd be great if you find one
Thank you, I have a travel steamer that works very well, but to me it's still pretty big for travel, so I am looking for something smaller. Maybe a travel iron would be the way to go!
My air conditioner was on eco mode and started blowing right when you turned on the mini fan, and it tripped me out so bad😂😂 I’ve been binge watching ur vids all day to prepare for my upcoming weekend trip😊
I travel with my Coach wristlet wallet...I just add a RFID blocking card in the contents of my cards... they protect a group of cards up to an inch thick .. but I personally never travel with that many cards. 😊
I have never found a good travel flat iron, so I just take my regular one which is by Sam Villa. Here's the link for it if you'd like to check it out. amzn.to/44B4Bif now it's pricy but it's amazing, it does not snag your hair, it will flat iron in one pass (my thick hair friends are even impressed with it when they use it) and it automatically turns off after 60 mins in case you forget to unplug it.
Oh thank you!! JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL and subscribed. I just ordered 4 items from this video for my domestic trip next month and European trip in August. ❤❤❤
Always stay under the weight with luggage, even if the scale is accurate. Once I was traveling home from vacation, and made a stop over for a day to visit family. When I left my destination, my luggage was under weight by a pound or two. At my stop over, I took a few things out (I added nothing back in). Got back to the airport and they told me my luggage was overweight. Idk if they were lying or their scales vary, but I was so upset. Stay underweight as much as possible.
Oh no! I do try to keep it a bit under for this exact reason. I will say my luggage scale hasn't failed me yet but that's a good rule for travel in general.
I'd rather have a small refillable bottle of face wash, mouth wash, a small refillable container with toothpaste, and my quip travel toothbrush instead of the Wisp. Why? There is too much disposable plastic in the world, and it does not have toothpaste. The little blue dot is more kind to sugar-free gum (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Flavor, Gelatin, Sorbitol, Sucralose, FD&C Blue No. 1) Sorbitol helps reduce dry mouth, to help not promote plaque. Its negatives are that even in small amounts, it can cause gastrointestinal issues like gas, bloating, and abdominal cramps.
I am so glad UA-cam recommended your channel and video. I was recently looking for small items for traveling. Glad this came up. ❤
I'm glad it was helpful for you!
On a cruise, I had my formal night dress’s zipper fail and used tiny basic sewing kit to sew myself in. Really came in clutch
It's a must have! Glad you had it handy for your trip!

Agreed
I came across your video & loved it. It was like sitting down with a girlfriend for a chat. Great tips for my next trip. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video (lots of great products and ideas). Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful!
That was awesome! You should consider the world of tiny stationary, stapler, hole punch etc.
Lol I had a bling tiny stapler at one point, I lost it somewhere. I have never seen a tiny hole punch though
Great travel vlog. I have a lot of these items or similar, however I saw some new items I’m immediately purchasing for my cruise in March. Ty
Awesome! Have fun on your cruise!

Band aids always on me. Perfect idea!
They are a must!

How did the shampoo, conditioner bar work? I bought one for our next plane trip to see my son in California
Trader Joe's shampoo bars are great. Real safe ingredients .
Anything with purple sparkles was made for me! 😁
I love bling too
Yasss...when I saw it I just knew I had to have it lol. Sparkle and glitter gets me every time!
Body glide may be good, but I suggest you try Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel. It’s a game changer.
Awesome! Once my Body Glide one runs out, I will try that!
I second the recommendation, you can also use it as a primer under makeup.
Wow! I've watched A LOT of travel essentials videos and you have things (and better prices) that they ll have missed!
Glad it was helpful and that I could show you some different items!
Body glide also makes a foot glide that works great at preventing blisters!
Interesting, I never thought of that. Great tip!
Great video with tons of products for travel!
