No need to wrap your breakables in bubble wrap anymore. You can just store them in socks to save space in your luggage!
2. Pack Jewelry In Pillboxes
Accessories are hard to pack because they can easily get tangled up. In this case, try using a pillbox to keep your jewelry organized. You can get one at any dollar store or pharmacy at a very low price!
3. Put Coins In Your Hotel Sink
Sometimes you need to give your clothes a quick wash but there's no washing machine in the hotel room. Try putting a plastic bag over the plughole and weigh it down with coins. It'll create a blockage so you can wash the clothes in the sink.
4. Use Compression Bags
To pack as many items as possible, you can use compression bags. Suck the air out of the bags with a vacuum so you can add more storage to your suitcase.
5. Put A Towel Under The Hotel Door
If you don't want to be woken up by the light and noise outside your hotel room, try wedging a couple of towels under the door. It'll help you get a good night's sleep!
6. Place A Toilet Paper Roll Under The Toilet Seat
Here's a genius trick if the toilet paper runs out in your hotel room. Prop up the toilet seat with the empty paper roll, so the cleaning staff will notice that the paper needs to be restocked.
7. Store Heavy Items At The Bottom Of Your Suitcase
No one wants to see their belongings crushed after a flight. It's better to store heavier items horizontally at the bottom of your suitcase, so they won't move around and damage the delicate things in your luggage.
8. Put A Crayon In Your Wallet
It can be pretty frustrating when your credit or ID cards bend on the road. To prevent this problem, try placing a crayon inside your wallet to keep the cards straightened out.
9. Use Saran Wrap Under Lids
Heads up if you need to carry liquid products for your trip! In case there's any leaking or spillage, you can put some saran wrap under the lids.
10. Pack Socks In Shoes
Other than compression bags, footwear can also help maximize your luggage space. Consider storing some small items like socks in your shoes!
