Genius suitcase tip means you can unpack at the hotel in under 10 seconds

All you need is this $10 item that you might already have in your wardrobe!

There are two types of people on holiday. Those who like to unpack immediately after arriving at the accommodation and those who like to do it later.

Aaaaand those two people are typically married. 

There’s also a third camp who prefer to just live out of their suitcase, rifling through it each day and inevitably making a big old mess. 

We don’t talk about those people.

Today, we’re focusing on the superior type - the immediate unpackers. 

Aka, the people who know that an uncluttered room is an uncluttered mind and an uncluttered holiday etc. etc. The ‘home away from home’ people. 

These types of people know that a trip is way more comfortable when outfits are literally at your fingertips when you need them.

And now, everyone’s favourite TikTok grandma, Brunch With Babs, has a trick that will change the game for immediate unpackers. 

It promises to cut your unpacking routine down to just 10 seconds, meaning more time for poolside margaritas or simply lying on the bed smugly, while your partner fumbles around with their clothes.

A hanging organiser doubles as packing cubes

Sharing to her 3.8 million followers, Babs says, “Here’s a packing hack that’s going to save your sanity. When going on a trip, your sweater organiser doubles as packing cubes.”

She then shows herself folding clothes and placing them on a hanging organiser, like this one that you can get for $10 at Kmart (making it $1.60 per ‘packing cube’!).

“Just feel each cube with what you’re going to wear for that day and don’t forget PJs and shoes too,” she continues.

“It collapses right down into your suitcase and then you just zip your suitcase up and you’re ready to go.

“When you arrive in your hotel room, this is the time saver. Take it out of your suitcase and put it into your hotel closet. Unpacked in about 10 seconds flat.”

"This is BRILLIANT"

Everyone was impressed with the quick and easy hack, with one calling it “genius” and another, “a massive time saver.”

“Me watching this in the airport wondering why I didn’t see this two days ago lol,” one user added.

“Okay but is BRILLIANT,” wrote someone else. 

“I mean… wow!!! I have loved your tips but this one is the very best yet!!” praised a different follower.

Others joked that “This would require me to know what I’m going to want to wear each day.”

“I’ve never packed this light one time in my 50 years of living,” shared another. 

“Ok. But where do I put my shoes, toiletries, makeup, hairdryer, hair straightener etc? Clothes is less than half of what it’s my suitcase 😂” pointed out a third.
