Must-Have Essentials For A Weekend Getaway Anytime Of The Year!

Are you looking for a weekend getaway to destress and unwind? It is no secret that weekend getaways are a fabulous way to reduce stress, improve your mental health and to simply unwind and have some serious fun. So whether your heading out on a road trip to spend a fun weekend with friends or enjoying a romantic weekend with that special someone in your life, quick, two day weekend getaways are the perfect way to reset. Now with that in mind, you may be wondering what you need to pack for a two day weekend getaway to make it the most wonderful of weekend getaways and that’s why I’m sharing essentials that are a must-have for your weekend getaway, no matter your destination. Let’s take a look below at everything you need to have on hand………

The first tip is to know what kind of luggage to bring on your weekend getaway trip. I recommend a good backpack or weekend bag for your weekend getaway as it helps to keep it simple and minimal all while providing enough space for the essentials you will need for your weekend away. I love a good backpack as I love getting outdoors and venturing around and a backpack can go with me anywhere and carry my much needed essentials too.

Next up is ensuring you pack the essentials. Make sure you know what you will need….and this all depends on the weather. Right now it is Fall and heading into the winter months, so for this time of the year you’ll want to ensure that you have some nice long sleeve t’s that are comfy and perfect for layering plus a sweatshirt, sweaters and a few pairs of pants.

Of course you will need a pair of comfy shoes to wear throughout your weekend getaway plus you’ll need to add a pair of super comfy and supportive insoles to them too. Those comfort insoles will ensure your feet are pampered and cared for throughout your getaway and this means you will be able to do more shopping, hiking and exploring. You can take a pair of heels with you too if you’re planning on going out for a night out on the town while on your weekend getaway, but always have those comfortable supportive insoles and shoes for the majority of your trip. Your feet will thank you for it.

You will also want to make sure you have a toiletry bag packed with your self care essentials in travel-size form to keep it light.

And don’t forget to bring along an electronic device ….. including your phone and a pair of headphones plus do not forget those charging cables!

Other essentials that you may want to take with on your weekend getaway are your handbag or wallet, cash and credit cards plus a required documentation needed for your trip. Maybe you are taking a quick weekend getaway via a plane…. you will want to ensure you have your boarding passes, hotel booking confirmations and even your passport is traveling internationally. It is always good to be safe and pack some ‘just-in-case’ essentials…. think a face mask, hand sanitizer and tissues.
