Spring Road Trip Essentials

Matt and I decided to head out on a little getaway and are spending some time in Charleston this week! It’s only a few hours’ drive from our house so we love to spend time over there to head into the city, enjoy some yummy food, and get our beach time in at Folly Beach (our fave!).

Since it’s only a short trip for us, I wanted to share all of our road trip essentials in today’s post! Over the many road trips I’ve done, we have learned everything we need while spending several hours in the car to make the drive enjoyable and hassle-free. Seriously, these things have saved us lol! Watch this video to see how I pack and prep my car for our road trip and keep reading for all of my essentials…

Purse Hook

This small hook goes on the back of your chair and holds your purse or other bags freeing up space on the ground. It’s also nice so you can grab your purse quickly for those snack and coffee stops.

This car trash can has been an absolute lifesaver for preventing clutter! Instead of the trash building up or being thrown wherever we can easily take this bag out when we reach our destination.

Travel Hat Holder

Whenever I bring hats along in the car they tend to get smashed under other bags as our car is packed tight. This clip hooks on your bag and has two magnetic sides that hold your hat, keeping it with you at all times. This is great throughout your entire vacay, not just for travel!

I’m always bringing hand sanitizer to use before we eat or after a stop at the gas station and these are my fave sanitizers! They spray a light mist that isn’t sticky and smells amazing.
