Packing for a holiday is a bit like trying to solve a complex puzzle. 

You start with a suitcase, a list, and a vision of what your going to pack but as you start the task, chaos often takes the reins. I found myself surrounded by piles of clothing, toiletries, and travel essentials strewn across the bed. Trying to fit it all in a suitcase neatly is a bit like playing a game of Tetris. 

It doesn’t help when you use it as an opportunity to sort clothes out and conduct a bit of pruning.  I had to retrieve my summer clothing out of the wardrobe as we will be in Singapore the last few days of our trip. So a variety of clothing for varying climates.

Investing  in little zipper bags to organise things into was one of my best packing ideas. All the socks tightly rolled in one bag, T- shirts in another and smaller tops makes for some semblance of neatness. Plus gadgets in another.

The bags come in sets of three in various sizes and in two colours pink and black. These zip backs were purchased from Kmart. 

I also purchased some compression bags, also from Kmart. Which you can basically just roll up and the air is removed as you roll. These are good for jumpers and jackets. The only problem is that you may of course need to give everything a bit of an iron before you wear it.
