Make it easier to travel with these space-saving organizers that will declutter your items, protect some of your more delicate items, and so you know exactly where to find the items you need immediately!

These are some of my top recommendations for keeping your bag organized and clean so you can find what you’re looking for instantly.

 

1. Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are HUGE space savers! There are so many packing cubes but what other details should you pay attention to?

Compression packing cubes make a huge difference in saving space beyond simply staying organized! It’s seriously downsizes the items so much, it’s been a total game-changer.

There are a couple of additional details to consider; ones with handles, covered or mesh view, and your colors for fun! 

Furthermore, compression packing cubes with handles and mesh have made a world’s difference in having the items be versatile. I have on numerous occasionally emptied my clothes from my packing cubes to use them as a storage bag that I tossed in the back seat or trunk. Items that I didn’t necessarily want to put in my purse but wanted to keep packed and organized (and in a clean place).

2. Shoe storage & Laundry Bag

No more tangled shoes or dirty soles! Discover the benefits of shoe storage packing bags that keep your shoes organized, protected, and separate from your clothing. We’ll explore various types, including waterproof bags, compact pouches, and travel shoe cubes, to ensure your footwear stays in perfect condition throughout your journey.

Some people feel that a shoe storage bag will waste space in their luggage. If you opt for a soft case, you can definitely compress it down or if these shoes are ones that need to hold shape, then you can use socks to roll inside the shoe molds to keep them from collapsing. Check out this shoe bag that holds multiple shoes and keeps shape.

3. First Aid & Medicine Organizer

 

Safety should never be compromised while traveling. We’ll guide you through assembling the ultimate smaller first aid kit or a more inclusive first aid kit, complete with essentials like bandages, antiseptics, pain relievers, and more. Stay prepared for unexpected bumps, bruises, or minor ailments, so you can enjoy your adventures worry-free.

For those who require daily medications or supplements, keeping them organized while on the go is crucial. We’ll showcase a range of compact and convenient medicine organizers that will ensure you never miss a dose and stay on top of your health routine during your travels.

Some items to consider that can literally change your entire day/trip experience :

– Bandaids

– Triple antibiotic ointment

– Acetaminophen (Tylenol)

– Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)

– Allergy medications (Claritin, Zyrtec or even Benadryl)

– Cough drops

– Motion sickness medication (Dramamine, scopolamine patches)

– Anti-diarrheal (Imodium, Pepto-Bismol)

– Antacids (Tums, Pepcid) , etc…

4. Small Toiletries Organizer

 

Bid farewell to rummaging through a messy toiletry bag! Discover the magic of toiletry organizers that provide dedicated compartments for your travel-sized toiletries, cosmetics, and skincare products. Water resistant and multi-pocket accessories are great. Clear organizer bags can come handy too since you now exactly where what item is.

Say hello to a clutter-free and hassle-free bathroom routine wherever you go. There are premade kits that you can purchase with a clear view.  Small container with floss, a travel toothbrush, small toothpaste, and more.

The individual one are great but I prefer the hanging toiletry bag so it frees up my counter spaces.

5. Electronics Organizer

Tangled cables and misplaced gadgets will be a thing of the past with the help of electronic organizers. We’ll introduce you to stylish and functional cases that keep your chargers, cables, power banks, and devices neatly organized. Say goodbye to the frustration of searching for charging cords and hello to hassle-free tech organization. Hard cases are also a great option to consider.

Consider cable organizers. I found that the tangled cables make it much harder to find what I am looking for, but it just adds a little unnecessary stress to my day in general. There are smaller electronic organizers that you can use for basic cables, and even cable organizers where it ties up the cable to keep them separated. I used these for my cables for travel and even for organizing at home.

6. Personal Organizer (Makeup, Skincare, & Misc Items)

Instead of having your pens, eyeliners, face sunscreen, lip balms, and little trinkets following around on the bottom of the bag, using a small organizer or medium sized organizer will keep it together. It’ll also help when you’re switching bags to a different look or different size.

*Tip – I actually found it very easy to use this make up brush holder to many things such as eyeliners, lip gloss, mini perfume bottles, hair ties, etc.

Overall recommendation —

Staying organized makes a huge difference in being ready on the go and ready to go. Smooth transitions throughout your travel decrease the stress of using your brainpower to think about if you packed a certain item and what else you want to pack.
