A weekend getaway is always the ideal solution for a quick escape from the mundane to recharge your batteries. But often the question that swirls in your mind is "What should I pack with me?”
Most of the time you will stuff your suitcase with things you may think you need, leading to extra weight and unnecessary fuss. Worry not though, because we have the ultimate packing list guide ready for you in this article.
Ready for that short trip?

1. The Comfortable Clothing
Comfort is the key here.
Whether you are heading to the sea, or the mountains or you are on for a city break abroad, make sure you pack light, versatile clothing that can be mixed and matched.
Ideally, you should include two pairs of trousers, a versatile skirt, two or three T-shirts, and a dress for a night out. Make sure you take a light sweater with you for a chilly night and at least 2 pairs of underwear.
Don’t forget your pajamas or nightgown. Now you have all the basics.
2. The Right Shoes
Regarding your shoes, you should pack a pair of sneakers and a pair of sandals.
If you want to look more elegant for a dinner out or a Saturday party you can also add your favorite heels to your packaging list.
Flip flops weigh light and can be cornered in your suitcase pocket. They will come in handy, especially if you are planning a beach trip. Additionally, they can work as slippers if your hotel room won’t offer you any.
3. The Necessary Accessories
As far as your accessories are concerned you don’t have to overdo it. Make sure you pack a belt and at least one hat. It won’t only keep you protected from the sun but will keep your hair in place in case the weather is windy.
You will also need an evening clutch and your favorite jewelry. Include your watch, a pair of earrings, a statement necklace, and your bracelet.
You can take more than one piece from each category since jewelry doesn’t take much of your suitcase’s room, but think wisely and remember you’ll only be gone for the weekend. How many pieces can you wear in two days?
Oh, and don’t forget your sunglasses weekend getaway girl!
4. Your Must-Have Toiletries
Can’t travel without them, can you? No, no! But the best thing to do is to organize their packaging properly.
This is where rockflowerpaper’s practical pouches come into the scene. You can pack separately your make-up essentials, your skincare products (perfume and sunscreen included), and other necessities like a toothbrush and toothpaste, medication, or your contact lenses’ fluid, using the travel-size pouches from our collection.
You can either choose some from the canvas collection or opt for our splash-proof and vibrant sets of three-size pouches like this pink poppies travel cube.
If you are a more inclusive girl though, then the all-in-one pickleball toiletry bag is all you need.
5. Your Indispensable Electronics
Have you ever arrived at your hotel room only to discover you missed taking your phone charger with you? Or your earphones? Or even your camera?
Well, not this time!
Because in our packaging list for your weekend getaway, we have them included for you.
So, before zipping up your suitcase, tick your electronics checklist:
phone

laptop (if you think you are going to need it, otherwise leave it out)
professional camera.
Once again a rockflowerpaper’s pouch will keep them neat, organized, and easy to access.
