Travel Gadgets, Accessories and Tips
Making the most of a holiday is essentially trying to maximise the time you can spend doing the things you want to do. An organised and well packed suitcase is the perfect start to making sure that wasted time remains at the bare minimum. Here’s a great list of small but mighty gadgets and accessories that can ease the stress of travel to a level which allows you to be free from disruptions.
Travel Wallet
Avoid the scramble for passports and tickets at the airport by getting a travel wallet, where travel money, tickets and passports can all be stored safely. Keep all your documents in this neatly organised Travel Wallet from Selfridges £18

5 Quick Travel Tips
It’s not just having everything you need that’s essential, it’s also having everything in order that’s just as important.
1.Don’t forget the plug adapters
Whilst cheap to buy here at home, travel adaptors bought at the airport or on holiday can be at extortionate prices… so it’s best to grab one in advance.
2.All Valuables in hand luggage
Whilst a rarity that airlines misplace luggage, it’s still best to keep your valuables on you at all times, even if it’s just for peace of mind!
3.The most necessary things go on top
Getting your tactics right when packing is essential, as there’s nothing more frustrating than having to dig around your suitcase for something, which then displaces everything in it!
4.Save your bag space for all your holiday purchases
An obvious tip, however you just never know what holiday mementoes you’ll be coming back with!
5.Roll your clothes for extra space
Rolling clothes will reduce wrinkles from appearing in the process of being folded! This is our top tip, as packing more in less space is the key to a stress free holiday 🙂
