4 Staycation Essentials for a Perfect Holiday

WE CAN BE PRETTY CERTAIN THAT OUR HOLIDAY THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE CLOSER TO HOME. WHETHER YOU'RE GOING ON A COAST, COUNTRY, OR CITY GETAWAY, PLANNING THE IDEAL HOLIDAY INVOLVES A SPECIFIC KIND OF HOLIDAY PACKING LIST.
TO HELP YOU MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR SHORT VACATION TIME, WE'VE LISTED OUR TOP FOUR ESSENTIALS FOR YOUR STAYCATION CHECKLIST BELOW:

1. PICNIC BOX AND BLANKET

A picnic is always a good idea, so bringing a lunch box and blanket along is key for a relaxing staycation. No one wants an egg mayonnaise sandwich leaking over their flapjack, so choose a basket or bag with compartments for an organized picnic. Also, make sure your blanket has a waterproof lining for those days when it will eventually rain.

2. ORGANIZING POUCH

Just because you're on a vacay doesn't make it any less likely that you'll forget your favorite moisturizer or that your shampoo will leak and destroy your favorite top. You will need all of your essential for everyday care, cosmetics, and skincare products. Sunscreen, mosquito repellent (yep, those nagging pests can be a problem even on a staycation), and hand sanitizer are essentials. You should use sunscreen even when the sun isn't shining. Perhaps even some self-tanner so that even if it rains, you can still look to have traveled for a week!

3. GAMES - INDOOR AND OUTDOOR

On your staycation packing list, include a wide range of activities to keep the whole group entertained. A basic pack of cards can fit nicely in your suitcase or carry-on luggage and gives a variety of alternatives, from pairs to poker, while a game of Jenga is always a hit with all family members and can be played in all weather.

4. E-BOOK

A Kindle or Kobo are essential items to pack when going on a staycation. The Kindle Oasis is among the best travel necessities you can bring, however if you're a fan, it's likely that you already own one. You can fit as many books as you'd like with this waterproof beauty's compact design and adjustable light.
