While it might feel like they’ve been waiting forever, kids around the country are finally on their school summer holidays. If you’re celebrating their time off school with a family trip, you might be panicking about what to pack. After all, whether or not you remember your child’s favourite swimwear can make or break any vacation.
Preparing for a holiday doesn’t need to be stressful. To ensure you don’t forget a single thing this summer (not even beach shoes), we’ve created a checklist including essentials such as beach towels and holiday clothes.
1. Swimwear
If you’re lucky enough to be visiting sunnier shores this summer, then swimming is a must. A great way to exercise and cool off, there’s nothing better than spending an afternoon by the pool or sea.
This year, we can’t get enough of tropical-themed swimwear. From botanical motifs and exotic flowers to beachy colours, this print is perfect for helping you to keep palm and carry on – even when the kids are tired and hungry!
2. Beach
Accessories
To ensure you and your family make the most of all the sun, sea and sand, you’re going to need to be well equipped. From remembering a bat and ball to packing protective essentials like sun cream and sun hats, there are plenty of items to fit into your beach bag.
3. Suitable Shoes
We all have our favourite warm-weather activities, whether that’s reading by the pool or visiting tourist attractions. However you choose to spend your time, you’re going to need the right kind of shoes.
4. Holiday
Wardrobe
Since you’ve probably been counting down the days ‘till your trip, you’re going to want to look and feel your best when you’re there. Even so, dressing to impress is difficult when you’re short on packing space.
5. Making Memories
While it’s easy to get caught up perfecting your packing, the real purpose of a family holiday is to spend quality time together. Although too many photographs can spoil the moment, making sure you document the trip will let you remember the fun for years to come.
