Travel Essentials for Every Summer Holiday
When it comes to packing for your summer holiday, having the right travel essentials can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth and stress-free getaway. Whether you're jetting off on a family trip or a quick weekend getaway with friends, it's essential to have all the necessary items on hand. From mini travel toiletries to compact packing solutions, Poundland has everything you need to streamline your packing process and make the most of your holiday adventure.
A Handy Cabin Bag
Whether a short holiday or a weekend mini-break, a practical cabin bag is essential. It’s the perfect solution for all those short trips that require just a few necessities. With a capacity of 18 litres, our durable compact Cabin Backpack is designed to meet airline size restrictions for carry-on luggage, and with an affordable price point of just £8, what’s not to love? It’s the perfect jetting-off option for all travellers.
The Right Travel Adapter


Heading off on holiday is a very exciting time for all, but it's not so fun arriving at the airport to realise that you have no way to charge your electronic devices. That's why having the right travel adapter is crucial! Our EU Travel Adaptor ensures that you can power up your electronic devices in European countries without any hassle. Plus, with Poundland's commitment to keeping prices low, you won't have to worry about overspending at the airport!
Here's a top tip: take a small extension lead along with you and your EU plug adapter. This way, you can use all your UK plugs at once, making it even easier to stay connected whilst on the go.
Sun Protection


Get ready to soak up the sun with our wide range of Sun Care and Tanning Oils. From sunscreens to after-sun lotions, we've got everything you need to keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays this summer. You and your family can enjoy big brand products at Poundland prices, ensuring that your pound goes even further. If you're looking for easy application and high SPF protection for your little ones, then our Garnier Ambre Solaire Kids SPF50 Protection Spray and Sun Oasis Sun Protection SPF50 Face Cream are just for you! Or, if you’re looking to avoid too much sun exposure yourself, then our Garnier Ambre Solaire Hydrating 24hr Heat SPF30 Protection Spray and Malibu SPF30 Lotion Aerosol Spray are just the things for you! Don't let sunburn ruin your family fun this summer - stay protected with Poundland!

Enriched with moisturising ingredients, it's the perfect solution for keeping your skin feeling soft and nourished, no matter where your travels take you. And why not add a touch of sweetness to your daily routine with Alberto Balsam Shampoo and Conditioner in Sunkissed Raspberry?

With a range of handy, effective solutions at Poundland, we can keep those pesky bugs at bay once and for all.

For added protection indoors, don't forget to pack a Xpel Mosquito Plug-In to create a mosquito-free zone wherever you stay.
Disposable Swimming Nappy Pants
For little ones eager to splash and play in the water, whether your poolside at the hotel or at the beach, disposable swim nappy pants are crucial to have on hand. Keeping your baby comfortable and protected whilst on holiday is a top priority, and with our popular Pampers Splashers themed with Baby Shark, you’ll achieve just that! These swim nappy pants provide a secure fit and reliable leak protection, allowing your little ones to enjoy the water without any worries.

Our Top Packing Tips For Your Summer Holiday


Let's pack like a pro with our tips to ensure a stress-free and organised trip. Firstly, try rolling your clothes instead of folding them to save space and minimise wrinkles – because let’s face it, the last thing we want to be doing on our trip is ironing! You can also cleverly utilise packing cubes to keep your belongings neatly organised and easily accessible throughout your trip. Also, plan your outfits ahead of your holiday and place them in small bags ready to use, remembering to consider activities and the weather forecast for each day of your trip. This not only prevents overpacking but also ensures you have everything you need for each occasion. And finally, try and pack versatile items that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfit combinations throughout your getaway. By following these packing tips, you'll be able to streamline your packing process and make the most of your summer holiday without the stress of excessive luggage.
