How to Use It
- Download the version (Word or PDF) that suits you.
- Print it out or open it digitally on your device.
- Go section by section (Essentials, Clothing, Gifts, etc.) and tick off items as you pack.
- Use the “Notes” column to add any reminders (for example, “wrap gifts after arrival,” or “buy batteries locally”).
- Keep one master copy in your travel folder or bag for last-minute checks.
Tips & Best Practices
- Start filling out the checklist a few days before departure so you can shop or prep missing items.
- Use color coding (e.g., red for Christmas gifts, green for cold-weather gear) if traveling with family to keep things tidy.
- Keep small essentials (chargers, jewelry, travel docs) in a separate pouch or folder so they stay accessible.
- If traveling internationally, make a mini-checklist for adapters, converters, and customs needs.
- Before closing your luggage, do a quick walk-through to see if anything is left on the dresser, floor, or in drawers.
