On the move
Flying Tiger Copenhagen has everything you need for stress-free travels. From this fun and comfy whale-shaped Kids Travel Pillow (£15) for young explorers, to the brilliant Dog-on -the-Go Kit (£4) that includes a water container, toy, light, dog waste bags and dispenser. Perfect for those times when you refuse to leave your furry friend behind!
Sun protection
Sun safety is vital and Savers’ suncream collection has you covered, with SPFs for all skin types and activities. For long-lasting protection and high water resistance, try the P20 Original SPF50+ Spray (£17.99), or opt for the Bio Glow Hybrid Kids Sun Protection Lotion Spray (£2.29) for moisturising, water-resistant protection.
Don’t forget the Xpel Mosquito Wipes (89p) to keep those pesky insects at bay!
Game time
Need something to keep the kids entertained? Browse The Entertainer’s travel games. From Snakes and Ladders On The Go (£3.50) to the classic Uno (£7.30), there’s plenty here for hours of fun.
Shady lady
Focus on what matters, like a good pair of shades. Whatever your style, Festival Place has plenty of choice. Try out the Brown Bardot sunglasses (£12) from Apricot, or the Oversized Ombre Crystal Sunglasses (£8.50) from Accessorize.
Power Up
We could all use a charge when we’re feeling a little drained, so go to Superdrug and pick up a RED5 Solar Power Bank (£20). It charges from sunlight and has a built-in torch and compass – making it great for camping and hiking.
A Lotta Bottle
Coffee lovers won’t be without the ingenious Mug with a Plug (£12) from Flying Tiger. Its auto-heating feature and USB connection allows you to keep your drinks warm during long road trips. Cool Merchandise has a range of water bottles and travel mugs featuring all your favourite films, from the Jurassic Park Water Bottle (£20) to the Top Gun Thermal Travel Flask (£10).
Fan Zone
A cool breeze is always welcome on hot days. Let off steam with the Rechargeable Handheld Travel Fan (£10) from M&S, which has three speeds and can be fully charged in three hours.
Throw in the Towel
Towels always take up so much space, but GoGoGadget has solved that problem with its cool range of Compressed Travel Towels. Try the Stormtrooper (£3.50) and Mopps Pug (£2.50).
Bag It Up
A handy bag is invaluable for travelling – and for taking to the beach or pool while you’re on holiday. This Foldaway Bag (£22) from Next comes in several patterns and colours and makes carrying your essentials hassle-free.
Slide Into Summer
Slip into summer with a cool pair of sliders. This elegant pair of Leather Beaded Sliders (£22.50) from Monsoon will look best next to the pool bar...
A New Chapter
There’s no better time to get into a new book than on holiday, so make sure you visit Waterstone’s to stock up. Crime fans will lap up Murder on Lake Garda by Tom Hindle (£7.99), or if it’s a holiday romance you’re after, you’ll love Jojo Moyes’ Someone Else’s Shoes (£7.99).
Keep kids busy with the Usborne Little Children’s Travel Activity Book (£6.99) – and they can colour and customise their own cute bookmarks with the Graffy Notebook of Bookmarks (£3) from Rymans.
