This gives you enough time to carefully consider each item and every use case.
But before planning outfits, you better determine the luggage youre bringing.
Its a great solution for those bulkier items that take up too much room in your suitcase.
Amazon
Instead, think about which pieces can play double duty.
Another pro of packing cubes is their ability to keep the contents of your suitcase organized.
For shorter trips (like a long holiday weekend), Ill pack my cubes according to outfits.
Amazon
One or two pairs of jeans tend to take up a good chunk of your suitcase.
To save room, bring bottoms made with more rollable, less voluminous fabrics, like theselounge pants.
You wont want to be in hard pants after Thanksgiving dinner, anyway.
Target
Instead, go with a sweater that gives the same cozy vibes, but doesnt need as much room.
Something likethis cashmere styleor this$48 Merino wool numbershould do the trick.
If the answer is no or maybe, it shouldnt make the cut.
Amazon
The same rule applies to jewelry and accessories.
Plus, it keeps everything organized and I dont risk losing one of my favorite studs or hoops.
Tip: Opt for Smaller Headphones
One of my pre-travel rituals is charging my Bose headphones.
Amazon
I refuse to go to the airport without having them fully ready to go.
They do, however, take up more room in my bag than Id like them to.
If I find myself struggling to find space, Ill end up taking myApple AirPods Proinstead.
Amazon
I just dont recommend it for travel.
Its incredibly heavy and not exactly an easy fit in my personal item bag.
Thiscollapsible water bottle, however, is a smarter, more space-conscious option.
Amazon
Its also BPA-free, leakproof, dishwater-safe, and easy to fill.
Immediately, I was blown away by its ingenuity and purchased it for an overnight flight to Rome.
If youre going to your childhood house for Thanksgiving, thats a no-brainer.
Amazon
But if youre headed somewhere like an Airbnb or hotel for the holiday, its decidedly less straightforward.
