Holiday Check List

In August I will be going away for five weeks which means I am already stressing about packing as I don't want to take too much or too little. The answer to my problem is universal to all organisation problems - a check list! And since I was making one I decided I might as well make it pretty and share it on my blog.

I have included four sections - essentials, clothes, toiletries and gadgets. What you need will of course depend on where you're going and for how long but this list should be useful for your typical getaway to somewhere hotter than the UK. I have also left some space in each table so things can be added to it.

The Essentials don't really need explaining - you're not going to get very far if you've forgotten your passport. 

Clothes very much depend on where you're going so I only included the essential bits that I think will be needed wherever you go. I will probably end up creating another list for the clothes that aren't on this list ;)

Toiletries are a very individual matter so again I included items that will be needed wherever you go. Moisturiser and sun cream are a good idea whether you're off to Barbados or skiing in Switzerland - sun protection will be needed everywhere (there's a whole post on this here) and if the sun doesn't dry your skin out, the wind definitely will. Hair bobbles and clips are on my list because they are the things I always forget whenever I go away. 

I'm not a fan of too many gadgets on holidays however a phone and a camera are essential to me. I love taking pictures when I go to explore new places and a phone is a matter of personal safety (as my mum has drummed into my head ;))

Here is the link to the check list if you think it might come in handy:
