So, let’s dive in.
Choose your Travel Bag
If you’re planning to head out, you need a good travel bag. The choice of luggage will depend on the kind of adventure you’re planning. So, here are some suggestions:
Rolling, Lightweight Luggage: If you are heading out with your family, a matching luggage set will be ideal. Or, if you are traveling alone by flight, a rolling luggage will help you carry everything in one big bag.

Backpack: It’s the ultimate luggage of choice for most backpackers. You can choose between a hiking backpack or a smaller backpack, like this Adidas backpack that features multiple compartments for easy organization.
 |
Duffel Bag: Another great choice is a durable duffel bag that can carry loads of luggage, and pack flat in a wardrobe or underneath a bed. Keep an eye for duffel bags with that roll and the ones that have backstraps, so you can travel with ease.
 |
Carry only things you really require. Like a small fanny pack or tote bag when you travel around. Next, are your toiletries, cell phone chargers, earbuds, and a packable rain jacket. You’ll also need UV-protection sunglasses, sneakers, and hiking shoes.

Wave Hello to Beach Days
Since you’re going to hit the beach, swimsuits are essential, and so are flip flops, a hat, and some sunscreen. Get yourself a Sonnet Shores swim dress and him some swim trunks. Also, add a beach towel to your packing list. Do not carry regular towels as they take up a lot of storage space and take a long time to dry after use. Lastly, pick a water-repellant dry bag that keeps your phone and wallet safe from sand and water damage.

Brighten up your Home for All-Day Staycay
Rejuvenate, relax, and give your home a vacay vibe with tropical towels, birdhouses, and rattan lanterns. Pamper your patio with an eco-friendly conversation set, lumbar throw pillows, and umbrellas. Set the table to decorative serving trays, pitchers, and other vacay-inspired dinnerware. Also, keep bowls with lids handy to conveniently store food.
