10 Tips for Packing a Suitcase!

So May is just around the corner, which is when I go away to America, and I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite packing tips which will give you more space in your suitcase as well as keeping things neat and tidy.

• Wrap a ribbon or stick something on your suitcase so it's easily identifiable on the carousel! 
• Put shoes in shower caps - this will keep them together, as well as making sure your clothes stay clean. 
• Place jewellery in 7 day pill boxes - this will stop them from getting tangled (especially necklaces) and will also save you from taking a bulky jewellery box or bag.
• Roll clothes instead of folding them - this may cause extra creases but they can easily be ironed out (if your destination has an iron!) and it makes for lots of space in your luggage!
• Roll belts and put them inside shirt collars - not only does this keep your belt in a confined space and out of the way, it also makes sure the collar of the shirt stays in shape. 
• Place any electrical chargers, or sunglasses inside your shoes - this will protect the items as well as saving more space!
• Put heavy items, such as shoes, towards the wheel end of your suitcase.
• Wear bulky clothing, or the heavier shoes on the journey - you can always take the shoes off on the journey if they're a bit uncomfortable for travelling. This saves space and weight in the suitcase.
• Store hair clips in an old tictac container - you can keep them in one specific place and they'll also be easy to access.
•  Place a sheet of cling film over the neck of bottles before screwing the cap on - this will stop any leakages and explosions from happening.
