Use up your suitcase space more efficiently by rolling up your clothes before placing them in your suitcase, rather than folding. This also prevents creases and wrinkles compared to folding your clothes. Also, smaller garments can be rolled up and stuffed into several pockets and corners of the suitcase.

Can't leave behind you favourite quilt and pillow? Worry not! For thicker, fluffier items like quilts, pillows, jackets you can use compressible vaccum bags which will compress your items by sucking out all the unnecessary air. This is a great way to carry space consuming items with you.

Use the space inside shoes for smaller items like mobile chargers, ear phones, socks, make up items etc. You could wrap breakables in your socks and stuff them into your shoes for extra security.Reuse your old lotion bottles for small items like jewellery, make up, clips, rubber bands, etc. Another smart trick is to seal leaky items like lotion, nail paint, perfume, shampoo in cling wrap. Then chuck it all together in a single plastic bag and seal. Not only does this prevent wastage of plastic bags, it also saves you a lot of trouble.
