Once you've chosen your vacation spot, booked the last available hotel rooms in the area, booked your plane, train or rental car tickets, there's still one major task to accomplish: packing your suitcase. No matter how long your trip is, not forgetting anything requires methodical and meticulous organization — so it's common to realize that you've left an essential accessory at home once you arrive at your destination. With the summer holidays just around the corner, we've put together a list of vacation essentials to pack in your suitcase before you leave.
SUNGLASSES
Except in exceptional cases, summer (necessarily) rhymes with radiant sunshine and therefore implies not forgetting your sunglasses. And it is just as important to choose them well! Between an aviator model , a pair of retro sunglasses or original glasses in an oversized version , each of these models will offer you unbeatable sun protection and will not fail to establish itself as a beach essential.
A POP OR ELEGANT HAT
Another essential for protecting yourself from the sun with style is the hat, which comes in all shapes and sizes (and in many colors)! From then on, all you have to do is choose the one that suits you best from our favorite summer options... So, you can choose a bright yellow cap , a casual red bob or even a sober and elegant fedora .
A PRINTED TOTE BAG
In addition to your favorite handbag, why not opt for a tote bag? Practical, sturdy and eco-friendly, it will accompany you on each of your trips to the beach, on hikes or on your trips to the city — and will hold your water bottles, sets of keys or other summer essentials… Among our favorite models, a summer bag that makes you want to go on a road trip , a cotton tote bag with a lemon print or a model stamped with the message “Life is beautiful” . And because all these models are reusable, we bet they will accompany you well beyond the holidays…
A CHILDREN'S TRAVEL KIT
Entertaining children on vacation is an art in itself! That's why we have come up with themed kits, including a notebook, a snack box, a water bottle, an original bag or a pencil, which will allow you to improvise activities with your family. All you have to do is give free rein to your child's imagination, who will be able to choose between several colorful kits .
A TRAVEL DIARY
How to make your vacation truly unforgettable? In addition to photos, it can be interesting to write down your memories on paper, like a logbook. This travel diary kit will allow you to plan your stay, record physical souvenirs such as museum entrance tickets or business cards, or even write down your impressions. Have a great summer!
