Savvy mum shares her unique packing hacks
A savvy mother and experienced traveller has shared her ultimate hacks for packing your suitcase when heading on your next holiday.
Melbourne mum Chantel Ibbotson, who goes by the name Mama Mila online, shared the helpful hacks with her 2.8 million followers, with many people praising her ingenuity.
Her go-to tips ranged from keeping your luggage smelling fresh, utilising your space, and how to prevent breakages.
One tip Chantel shared, that has been labelled a “game changer”, involves placing necklaces through a straw to prevent them from tangling.
One follower commented on the video saying, “I used your straw tip for necklaces last time I travelled and it was awesome.”
The mum-of-two also showed her followers how a simple button can be used to keep pairs of earrings together by fastening each earring through one hole in the button.
Chantel also recommended hanging packing cubes that can be purchased online as a great solution for “making packing and unpacking so quick and easy”.
The influencer also suggested spraying perfume on cotton pads to keep your suitcase smelling fresh, as well as placing cotton pads in makeup compacts to prevent breakage.
Another tip was to pack a separate bag, whether it's a plastic bag or a dust bag, to hold your dirty laundry.
This tip allows travellers to easily find clean clothes while also keeping dirty, smellier clothes separate in their own bag.
The video racked up thousands of views, with many saying they will try out the unique tips next time they travel.
