If you're like me and like to have a toiletry bag always in your carry-on, so you don't have to keep packing and unpacking and making sure you have everything you need, then I bring you the genius of Travel Pakt. This small company lets you choose all the items you want to bring with you, where it will be pulled together and put into a 3-1-1 bag for you, then sent straight to you, ready to toss in your bag.
Travel Pakt chooses brands that are good for you and, when possible, that give back. Products are all natural and many are eco-friendly, including compostable packaging for some. One great brand they work with is Spinster Sisters, which has a 100% wind-powered production facility. You can learn about each brand on their listing.
If you're tired of digging through your travel and trial-size items that you may or may enjoy, then Travel Pakt helps to eliminate that annoyance. Find items between hand sanitizer (yes, they do have it in stock!) to shower gel. Everything is TSA-compliant. Don't want to pick products yourself? I mean, I get it. Sometimes you just want stuff to be easy. Well, you can choose from pre-packed Pakts, too.
If you purchase $40 or more of product, then Travel Pakt will put your items in a suitably sized silicone zip-top bag. These are great, because they have a really reliable seal, plus they're super cute. Don't worry though, because if you purchase less than $40, your products will still come in a TSA-compliant plastic bag that you can still toss into your bag. This is also perfect for those that have already ordered a larger batch of items and already have one of these adorable silicone bags. You can also reuse these silicone bags for things when you aren't traveling, like chips or fruit.
Why a zip-top silicone bag? Well, compared to the normal plastic toiletry bag with a zipper top, the seal will keep any spills inside and are way easier to clean in case of accidents. Your liquids will not end up getting into the rest of your bag. There's nothing worse than getting to your destination and finding something has spilled and then leaked onto your clothes, meaning you have to do laundry when you could be out having fun.
I know we aren't traveling now, but that doesn't mean you can't prep for when you do start traveling again, or keep a toiletry bag with your favorite products in it for work or in your gym bag. Maybe you're a mom and like to keep certain products with you for messes and other unforeseen situations. Right now, I'm keeping this delicious-smelling ruby grapefruit hand sanitizer spray from Everyone in my purse. It comes in handy multiple times a day when I can't go wash my hands after touching something that might be contaminated with other people's germs. Their lotion is also perfect for keeping my hands moisturized after washing them a ton of times throughout the day.
This bag I have is the largest bag, but it also complies with TSA rules and I like that it's see-through as well. It has a flat bottom, so you don't have to worry about it falling over in the bathroom and all your items rolling out onto the floor, because that's a horrible situation.
Start putting together your own toiletry bag at Travel Pakt's website. And if you love what they're doing, go follow them on social media, too:
Also, don't forget that Mother's Day, Father's Day and graduations are happening right around the corner, so if you're still too sad about not getting to travel at the moment, remember that these products could really brighten someone's day soon. Heck, you can even purchase an eco-friendly toothbrush at Travel Pakt and complete their whole toiletry bag, so whether they go on business trips or need a bathroom kit for the dorms, you're really the hero there. And you're supporting a small women-owned business, which makes you a hero to them. Double win!
What's the most annoying part about stocking your 3-1-1 bag for travel?
