Spring Break Packing Guide 2024

It’s that time of year of vacations or staycations for college students. Wherever you’re traveling to or relaxing this break, everyone needs the basic vacation essentials. Follow along for what to pack!

Noise Cancelling Headphones

On the pricier side, a good quality pair of noise-cancelling headphones is definitely an investment, but if you get enough use of them it is smarter to go with a quality pair like Bose or Apple over a cheaper price point. Great for flights, walks/runs, and drowning out the noise in your crowded Airbnb. PS. Apple Airpods Max are $70 cheaper at Best Buy than in the Apple store!

2. Tinted Sunscreen

Suitable for all skin tones, this Eucerin tinted sunscreen’s sheer tint blends and gives coverage no matter the complexion. It’s a great choice whether you’re going on a ski trip or to the beach to protect your skin and not have not put on any additional makeup.

3. Digital Camera

In the last few years, disposable and digital cameras have been making a comeback. In an increasingly online world, it can be fun to have a different quality or style of pictures than we normally see with photos taken on a phone.

4. Weatherproof Phone Pouch

We all know the struggle of leaving our phone out on a hot day only to see it is disabled due to extreme weather. This insulated phone pouch is suitable for extreme hot and cold temperatures protecting the phone from overheating and freezing, and will also protect the phone from snow while skiing and snowboarding.

5. Wide Mesh Beach Bags

Going to the beach and getting sand in your things is pretty impossible, but a wide mesh beach bag can ease that struggle. They are often very affordable, so there’s a lot more pros than cons to have a bag that sifts out the sand for you.

6. Cooler Speaker

Both cute and practical, this item is perfect for a beach trip with friends. It is equipped with Bluetooth, radio, and AUX, and has a USB charging port. The speaker stays charged for up to 6 hours and the cooler is sure to keep any food or beverages cold.

7. Bose Micro SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker

While the cooler speaker is fun for the beach, every occasion in life needs music. This Bose speaker is small but mighty. It is a portable, waterproof speaker with a built-in strap to securely hold the speaker to any item. Feel safe traveling with it knowing any splash will not impact the sound quality.

8. SPF Chapstick

Lips can be burned too! Often overlooked, applying SPF to your lips is important when in the sun. This Nivia chapstick does not have a strong SPF odor and still feels like a regular chapstick while providing the coverage you need.

9. Body Jewelry

The latest jewelry trend is a newer accessory, body jewelry! From chain bras to wear under a bikini top to waist chains, these pieces can spice up any beach or day to day look.

Wherever you’re traveling to this spring, don’t forget to pack the essentials and throw in a few new favorites. Comment below your spring break packing necessities!
