Sunday Show and Tell #4

I’m still on my travel tangent this week. But this time I’m all about preparation. Today we went to The Container Store to buy two things. One hour and $170 later, we emerged triumphant. We got the two things, of course, and so much more.

They are having a travel sale and did a groovy little demonstration of some of the products. Jake was really impressed with a few things and since I had missed most of the presentation walking around with Bridget, he asked one of the presenters to show me again. And this thing? This kicks ass!

Let me go on record here and admit that I am the world’s worst packer. Thankfully I married the world’s best. When we go on trips together, I always just pile all my stuff up and Jake packs it all for me. It’s very handy. The only problem is that when we arrive, I never know where anything in the suitcase is. But it’s a small price to pay. Anyway, if this product impressed Jake, a very seasoned traveler, it had to be cool.

This is the Pack-It Folder. The gist of it is this: It has a board to help you fold your shirts, pants, etc. perfectly and then you can put several items and it keeps them folded flat and unwrinkled. This particular one will hold I believe 12 items. I always have issue with packing because unlike most men, I don’t know what I’m going to want to wear each day and I like to have options should plans or weather or my mood change. But when space is at such a premium, I end up leaving things I want to bring in an effort to save space. But now with this lovely invention, I can bring more options in the same amount of space if not less.

Now, if I can just figure out how to trim down my bathroom products. I hate being such a stereotypical girl, but I use a lot of things. I don’t just use toothpaste and deodorant. But I got some goodies at TCS today that will hopefully help.

Now I’m all ready for Mexico. At least, I have all my travel products.
