This is the second part of the series on must have during travel. The first one being electronic essentials that we must have during travel. In this second part, we intend to cover organizers. To be honest, till a few years back, I didn’t know much about travel organizers. Neither did I think of using them. But after I got introduced to one, and then started using one after the other. I must say, travel has never been the same as before. And for the good. It has been much more better and hassle free with these travel organizers. So, here, I Introduce you to the travel organizers that we use now on a daily basis so that we can be much more organized and prepared during our travel
1)Packing cubes as our first travel organizers
Yes, the first travel organizers that we ever used were our lovely packing cubes. I had to get them under compulsion when we got a little one with her little stuff to share our trolley bag. And the first thing that came to my mind after using them was – how I ever managed without them. And the immediate next thought – I am never going to travel without them now. Using these organisers tops our travel packing tips. Now there are many different varieties of these travel organizers available in the market. They mostly come in set of packing cubes. But I like these two the most. The first one is a set of 4 cubes while the second one is a set of 3 cubes and 3 pouches.
The set comprises of cubes of different sizes. And based on the size of your cloths and their type, you can arrange them in different ones. For instance, our little one’s little socks, mittens, gloves and other small stuff go in the small cube. All neatly arranged. And we don’t require to dig for them all over the trolley anymore!!! Things like scarves, hankers and other smaller items get really very neatly arranged with these packing cubes. These cubes become all the more handy if you mostly travel with cabin luggage and use a single travel rucksack or a travel backpack like this one wherein you would like to arrange everything neatly.
2)Purse organizer
A purse often contains a lot of stuff, mostly small ones. And when you are traveling, last thing you want to do is rummage through your purse to find that one tiny lip balm. Or rather, you will not want one item like your goggles get scratches due to the others. That is where a purse organizer really comes handy. Since I have a lot of things in my purse (like any other lady) including my basic toiletries, goggles, wipes, some energy bar and snacks, wallet and so many other similar things. When I first started using a purse organizer, I felt like I have stumbled upon a life saver 🙂 Here goes some of my favorite ones that I have used and recommended to friends and family :
3) Pills Box as travel organizers
I know these pills box are supposed to carry pills. And they are beautifully color coded to help us remember and organize our pills. But somehow, I personally don’t feel like using them for pills. For me, the pills are better kept in their original pack. And what I use these pills box for is organizing my fashion jewelry when I travel, particularly those small earrings, loops, drops, studs and others. That otherwise tend to entangle with each other and sometimes even break also. But not anymore 🙂 And what’s more, I can even color code them with these beautiful and colorful pills boxes. You can also think of other innovative ways of using these pills boxes to store other tiny items that you use during your travel.
4) Documents travel organizers
There are so many essential documents that we travel with us during the travel. Some like our passports, their copies, visa copies and others are really very important. Then we have our cards, important contacts, some extra cash that we want to tuck away and not carry all the time and many more. What organizers them really neatly for me is this documents organizer that we carry on all our travel now. This has been really helpful. So much so that we can’t do without it when we travel now. Have you given one a try yet? If not, try them out right away. We are using this one:
5) Toiletries kit travel organizers
6) Electronics travel organizers
7)Toothbrush travel organizers
Some of you might be thinking by now what is the big deal with this one. Toothbrush need to be stored very hygienically while you travel. Ideally they should not come in contact with any other cosmetics or toiletries in your travel bag. That is why I started looking for the best possible way to store our toothbrush during our travel. And when I stumbled upon these beautiful toothbrush travel organizers, I really loved them. Now, they are another integral part of our travel. And we always store our tooth brushes hygienically and isolate them into these pretty containers.
So, what are your favorite travel organizers? Do share with us. Here’s a more comprehensive list of travel cubes and accessories by a fellow blogger. Now we are becoming more and more pro (freak!!) getting organized during our travel. And we are totally loving the paradigm shift. We don’t realize but our travel is so much smoother because of these organizers. We are looking out all the time for more innovative products to help us organize even better. So, we will like to hear back from you about the best travel organizers that you are using as of now. If you have any suggestions, we will love to add that.

I have been hearing a lot on these packing cubes. I frankly tend to use cloth bags to make one for myself. However, the toiletries bag and the purse organizer are a different thing and I absolutely love those. The most useful even for an everyday use. Well captured Neha.
Thanks Ami, we can definitely try DIY or cloth bag kind of stuff in place of the travel cubes
I love this! Especially the toletries kit. Finding clean bathrooms are a challenge when moving around so toletries kit are qyite a life saver for me. It holds all of my needs in the bathroom together and viola, no mess!
And you get to use the brands that you love 🙂
Fantastic list right here! its so important to keep everything in the right place and organised 🙂 Thanks for the share will look into some of these products for sure 😀
Thank you so much Nomadic trippers
Really like the look of that electronics organiser, that would be useful for us. Great list of ideas to help one’s packing (and more importantly, finding stuff at the other end)!
Thanks Kavey
Okay, I have seen travel cubes all over lately!! But really, what is the purpose?! Is it just to organize your things? I loved your post, so informative!!
Of course it is for organizing things. So that you don’t have to dig for them all the time. I started using them when I started traveling with my kiddo. Since there were so many small pieces of cloths that it was literally impossible to dig through the suitcase or backpack to locate them when in need. And then I learnt how wonderfully organized they could make me, and started using them for my own things as well
I’m the most unorganised traveller ever so some of this would come in handy!
I would love to hear your feedback once you try some of these
I need the packing cubes ASAP but in Chile are not easy to find. Really good advices you give here 😉
Oh..thats bad. I saw some sewing tutorials as well on net. Maybe you can try making one of your own 🙂
Very useful tips, especially #1! I don’t use all of them but planning on organizing my luggage a bit better, so very helpful article 🙂
Thanks Christina. Indeed they have helped us become lot more organized
I keep meaning to buy travel cubes! Organisation is definitely the easiest way to keep track of your belongings while traveling, makes it more obvious what you’re missing!
Right Jessica. And also saves time wasted on finding stuff scattered through your luggage.
Would love to pick up some travel cubes!! The purse organiser is a great idea too
The purse organizer is also very useful. Particularly for me, since some of my baby’s stuff also go in my purse. And I hate digging in there to find anything
That’s a useful summary of all that’s out there to stop you rummaging through your bags in search of elusive items. I’m a massive fan of packing cubes and also my little electronics bag. I hadn’t thought about the pill boxes for jewellery, and although I don’t really wear much, that will certainly be helpful for future trips.
Thanks! The pills box comes real handy for fancy earrings and sleek neck pieces and rings 🙂
Hi the cubes look really interesting and even the document organizors and the toiletteries organiser, especially for me who travels a lot and also struggles slot during packing.
They really are. We are using these and now can’t even imagine to going back to times when we traveled without them
To be honest this is perfect 🙂 given me so much ideas for my packing next time 🙂
Thanks Farah!
Reading your blog really makes me wonder why I never thought about using travel organizers before. My backpack/suitcase is always such a mess!!! I love how you also put the link there to buy the products immediately and not just mention them. Great post!
Thank you so much. From our personal experience, we can tell, each one of them are super useful
This does sound quite handy 🙂 my backpack has no logical packing system and I can never find anything!
🙂 Try some of these products, I am sure you will end up in a better position
Amazing article on organising packing, I’m one of those that leaves it to the last minute. The cubes are a brill idea but sadly I’m usually with a backpack. The electronics organiser is something I truly need, mine are everywhere all tangled up. Thank you!
Great to know you like the ideas. Actually I also thought so earlier that cubes are not worth when using the backpack. But now I end up using them in my backpack as well, segregating my smaller cloths from the bigger ones. And I use one cube for the worn dresses that I gon’t get time to wash during the travel. Putting electronics neatly in their organizers also helps with the backpack.
I hear so much about travel cubes–I think it’s about time I invested in some!
Believe me you will be glad you did like I am 🙂
I really need to get an electronics organizer. I hate the mess of cords and earbuds that forms in my bag when I am on the road.
Thats true. Digging into your bag for those small electronic stuff and then finding them all entangled is real irritating
This is definitely a comprehensive list of things that will add weight to your luggage, and will help people who are naturally disorganized. It must be a great way to get affiliate links on a post, because I see so many of these articles on many different blogs. I didn’t realize that there was a need for one more post like this, but here it is. Thanks for sharing.
We are using each one of these travel organizers ourselves and we only recommend to our readers what we find useful for ourselves. If you feel it’s not adding any value, you can very well ignore these. Maybe you are very organized and understand your travel needs a 100 percent. But many of us don’t. At some point I have learnt about these organizers from some other blogger and this post is a summary of what I learnt and used and found helpful. And I don’t see an issue the links, as long as my readers would like to buy them through me
Though we are pretty organized when packing with things easily accessible and logically arranged. We would like to try out the cubes. Looks pretty decent and convenient.
They really helped us. Particularly with the little stuff our little daughter which we used to loose often in the pile of cloths. And then we had to dig the whole suitcase to locate it 🙂
