For parents, packing for a family holiday can feel like solving a complex puzzle—especially when it comes to keeping kids' outfits organised and wrinkle-free. But one clever mum has shared a game-changing trick that takes the stress out of travel prep.
The Simple Trick That Saves Time and Sanity
Instead of folding each item individually or stuffing clothes haphazardly into a suitcase, this savvy parent lays out complete outfits—including tops, bottoms, underwear, and socks—flat on top of each other. She then rolls them up together into neat bundles, securing each with a hair tie or rubber band.
Why This Method Works
- No more mismatched outfits: Everything your child needs for a day is packed together.
- Wrinkle-free clothing: Rolling clothes prevents creases better than traditional folding.
- Space-saving: Bundles can be tightly packed, leaving room for souvenirs.
- Easy access: Kids can grab a single bundle instead of rummaging through the suitcase.
The hack has gone viral after being shared on social media, with parents calling it "life-changing" for family trips. Some have even adapted the method by using packing cubes or zip-lock bags for extra organisation.
Bonus Tips for Stress-Free Family Travel
- Pack one extra outfit bundle in your carry-on in case of delays.
- Use different coloured bands to distinguish between children's clothes.
- Include a small surprise (like a new hair clip or sticker) in each bundle to delight kids.
With summer holidays approaching, this simple yet effective packing strategy could be the difference between a chaotic getaway and a relaxing family break.
