Traveling The Tidy Home Way

As fall turns into the busy holiday season, travel plans start filling up fast, family visits, long weekends away, maybe even that much-needed getaway before the year ends. But before the suitcases come out, having an organized system in place can make all the difference.

One of our favorite ways to stay travel-ready is by keeping your closet stocked with the essentials, so packing for a trip doesn’t feel like starting from scratch every time. A few simple storage bins or baskets can hold your go-to items: packing cubes, travel-size toiletries, neck pillows, and even portable chargers, all easy to grab when you need them.

We love these clear bins from Walmart for keeping everything tucked away yet easy to see; and when it’s time to pack, everything you need is right there, ready to go.

For weekend trips or quick flights, matching luggage sets and packing cubes make a world of difference. The cubes keep outfits and accessories organized (and save so much space in your bag). A cozy travel pillow or throw blanket is perfect for long car rides or flights, and can double as a little comfort from home once you arrive.

If you’re updating your setup, Walmart has a great selection of carry-on bags, weekenders, and small travel organizers that look as good as they function. Add a few clear toiletry bags to keep liquids and skincare organized, and you’ll be amazed how much smoother packing feels.

A tidy closet and a few smart travel essentials make the pre-trip rush feel calm and effortless, and that’s the kind of organization we can all get behind.
