For years, I’ve been hearing about the marvelous creation called packing cubes. Packing has never been a problem for me. I’m an experienced traveler and, therefore, have a lot of experience packing suitcases. Who needs packing cubes, I thought.
Oh, how wrong I was.
Last year, on a whim, I purchased a set of packing cubes.

I decided on a set of four cubes plus a shoe bag and used them during a trip in December 2023. As soon as I’d zipped up my suitcase, I informed my husband packing cubes were the way to go.
Resistance on my part had been pure stupidity.
With cubes, I packed in a shorter time and in a more organized way. During our one night in a hotel, I was able to find what I wanted easily without messing up my entire suitcase.
Unpacking was a breeze, too.
I admit it. I am a convert. And not only me but my husband as well.
This week, I purchased him a set of packing cubes just in time for our next trip.
Do you use packing cubes? If not, why not?
I do. I like that I can take them out and put them in drawers when I get to my destination and just leave them unzipped for easy access. Then, when it is time to go, I can consolidate them and use the empties for laundry items. I have three sets plus I like the packing folders or garment folders for shirts and pants. If you haven’t tried these, I would get one and give it a whirl. My first of each was a gift and I am so glad I got them. I often use one of the smaller cubes to wrangle chargers, cables, and such, though I also now own an electronics organizer cube. You can look for these suggestions on Amazon under the names I used. Happy travels.
