Travel essentials for women you shouldn't forget

Spontaneous weekend or big trip : the secret to packing light is taking the right travel essential for women, not the bulkiest one. Here are 7 must-haves to slip into your suitcase so you can set off with peace of mind - always at a small price.

Pink travel organiser for cables and accessories in a suitcase - La boutique de QaiKo

No need to overload your suitcase : a few well-chosen accessories are enough to travel organised, without breaking the bank.

Travelling light, without the clutter

We've all known the over-stuffed suitcase and the day bag spilling over. The answer isn't to pack more, but to pack smarter : clever little accessories that tidy, protect and save space. Good news - travelling organised doesn't cost much: it just takes the right reflexes and two or three well-chosen pieces. Here are seven not to forget.

7 travel essentials you shouldn't forget

  1. A pouch for cables and the charger. It's reflex number one. Our pink cable & accessory organiser gathers charger, cables, USB stick and earphones in two zipped compartments.
  2. A compact coin purse. For light outings, no need to carry your whole handbag. A compact coin purse keeps cards, notes and coins within reach.
  3. A practical day bag. The multi-pocket crossbody bag separates phone, coins and papers, and keeps your hands free while sightseeing.
  4. A pouch for documents. Passport, boarding pass, tickets : a dedicated pouch saves the airport panic.
  5. A reusable water bottle. Fill it up after security : practical, cheaper and greener.
  6. A light scarf. Shoulder cover, makeshift pillow or a touch of style : it does everything and weighs nothing.
  7. A mini wash bag. Cabin-sized, with just the essentials, to travel light.

The cable organiser travel reflex

If you only keep one, make it the cable pouch. A travel cable organiser is what makes the difference between rummaging in your bag at the hotel and having everything to hand in two seconds. Cute, clever and at a tiny price, the pink organiser is exactly the QaiKo spirit. Discover all our organisers and storage pouches.

Our tip for packing with peace of mind

The night before you leave, lay your seven essentials on the bed before packing them : you'll see at a glance what's missing. Slip the must-haves - documents, charger, coin purse - into the same day bag, and keep the cable pouch always in the same spot. The result : less stress at the airport, and more room for souvenirs on the way back. One last tip: keep a spare charging cable in your day bag - it weighs nothing and saves the day when a battery runs low far from the hotel.
