Whether you’re visiting London, planning your next weekend break in the countryside or a holiday abroad, there are a few essentials you’ll need to pack. Luckily, you can find them all in one shopping destination: Oxford Street.
Travel accessories
Any seasoned traveller will know that the key to perfect packing is the perfect travel accessory. Whether you’re packing for a night or a week away, you’ll want all your belongings organised to make travelling and dressing every morning that little bit easier – and to beat those sneaky airline fees. Here are some travel accessories that we promise will make it all a breeze, leaving you extra time to enjoy yourself.
Holiday fashion essentials
Planning your holiday wardrobe can be a bit of a challenge, especially when you aren’t sure what the weather will be like. That said, there are a few timeless essentials you’ll be reaching out for come rain or shine this summer. Think a straw hat, comfortable sandals, wellies, sunglasses, a light jacket and a summer dress. It’s also worth packing a swimsuit that can be worn with trousers as a nice daytime look.
Travel beauty essentials
Unless you are checking into a fancy hotel, you’ll have to make sure to bring all your beauty essentials with you, and luckily, many beauty shops on Oxford Street offer travel-size versions of their bestsellers – ideal for if you want to pack light. Some of our favourites include Soltan’s cooling SPF spray, Lush’s solid perfume, Venus’s travel razor, Cowshed’s travel set and Aesop’s departure kit.
Travel tech essentials
Where would we be without our tech companions? From phone chargers to travel fans, there is no denying that we can’t live without the help of a little technology, no matter how off grid our travel plans are. Don’t forget to pack this power bank, rotating fan, instant camera, wireless headphones and travel adaptor for your next trip.
Food on the go
Snacking on the go is half the fun of travelling. You can stock up on some seriously tasty snacks on Oxford Street or, if you’re planning on making your own food and drinks, you can also pick up some gadgets that will facilitate that. Try Sostrene Grene’s pistachio chocolate bar, Ikea’s roasted almonds or Selfridges’ cheese straws. For camping, we love this Thermos travel mug and George Foreman’s BBQ pizza oven.
