[quote=Anonymous]I keep a toiletry kit packed at all times. I refill it when I return from a trip. There were so many times I’d pack at the last minute and forget tweezers or something and not realize it until the morning when I was running to a morning meeting on my work trip. I keep the toiletry bag hanging in the closet at home.

I pack empty bags for laundry in my suitcase. I also keep lavender sachets in my suitcase.

For short work trips (with just a carry on), I pack an entire outfit in a packing cube. So one packing cube will have a dress, 1 bra, tights, everything I’d wear with it. Another cube will have one pair of pants, shirt, 1 bra, 1 pair of socks, etc. It makes it easier to get dressed quickly to have it all in one place and not dig through the suitcase looking for things.

But for long vacations I only use packing cubes for socks and underwear. When I have a large checked bag, I like to be able to see everything at once. Packing cubes make that too hard especially when I rewear things and mix and match over the course of several days. My large suitcase of choice is a trunk style. I like to fold everything kind of standing up (Marie Kondo style) so when I open the trunk I can see everything. This may not work for a lot of folks though.
