Brits start missing home comforts just five days into holidays says study
Brits start missing home comforts just five days into holidays says study A study of 2,000 holidaymakers reveals that, on average, travellers begin to miss home just five days into their holiday Holidaymakers start to miss home after just a few days (Image: Getty Images) Are you someone who can easily leave your home for two weeks, provided you've packed your Marmite and tea bags? Or do you find yourself longing for your own pillow, the comfort of your sofa, and the familiar greenery of home as soon as your plane touches down abroad? Take our latest quiz to determine just how much of a homebody you truly are. It follows a survey of 2,000 holidaymakers which has revealed that, on average, travellers start to miss home just five days into their holiday. Kellie Wyles from DFS, who commissioned the study, stated: "For many, coming back from holiday is the best bit, because nothing comes close to those home comforts." "It's often assumed that a holiday is the ultimate form of relaxation, but after dealing with airport stress and luggage concerns, coupled with not having our own space, many begin to yearn for their home comforts," added Kellie. The study found that nearly half of people miss their home comforts when they're away on holiday. In an attempt to make themselves feel more at home, 31 per cent of people take tea bags with them and 27 per cent bring their own towels. Some holidaymakers even pack their own pillows. Article continues below Consequently, 52 per cent said one of the best aspects of going on holiday is returning to their home - and a quarter confess to feeling melancholy at the thought of being away from it. However, this happiness may be fleeting as tasks such as laundry and unpacking are among the first chores to be tackled upon returning home. The study, carried out via OnePoll, disclosed that three quarters of respondents believe there's no place like home, with four in ten wishing they could transport their home to their holiday destination if possible. Moreover, 71 per cent have scheduled weekends of doing nothing just to spend more time at home, with 43 per cent taking leave from work solely to enjoy their own home. Article continues below Kellie Wyles added: "It is a good thing that so many see the home as a place of relaxation and recuperation. We know that our customers' homes are a real reflection of their lives, families and personalities. It's really no wonder we feel so attached to our homes and miss them while we're away."

'I'm a travel agent who's planned 6,000 holidays - there's one essential I always pack'
Claire Le Moigne, who has spent 35 years as a TUI retail manager, has shared her top tips for heading away on holiday, including the one thing that she always takes with her Holidaymakers should always pack one cheap essential with them before heading away, according to a veteran travel agent. Claire Le Moigne has spent 35 years as a TUI retail manager and has now shared the top packing hacks she's learnt from over three decades working in the travel industry. Whilst she's worked in stores in Leeds, Wakefield and Selby, she's also travelled across the globe to more than 20 destinations. She's booked well over 6,000 holidays for her customers and is still booking trips for the same families she did 35 years ago. It comes following news that Spanish islands fear Brits won't return as tourists are dealt another blow. Claire said: 'Over the years I've been on my fair share of trips, but I've also helped all of my customers prepare for their summer holidays. I've picked up lots of tips and tricks along the way when it comes to the essentials we should take away, but I've also seen firsthand some of the biggest mistakes that travellers make with their luggage.' Her absolute must-have when heading away is something that many households will already own, but may not think to take with them on holiday. 'I never travel without a foldable tote bag when I go on holiday. They pack away super small, but they're so handy for any items I accumulate over the day – whether that's souvenirs or even dirty clothes from the kids! Whether I need some extra room whilst trekking around a city or want a beach bag on a fly and flop break, it always comes in handy," Claire explained. From avoiding overweight cases and forgotten chargers, to preparing for mid-trip Marmite cravings, here are Claire's tried and tested summer holiday packing tips which have helped her customers get from check-in to sun lounger hassle free. Keep the clothes light 'Avoid the trap that 88% of Brits fall into and don't pack clothes that you won't wear. Before you pop clothes in a suitcase plan out which items you can use for which outfit and try them on – take a quick picture and then you'll be able to remember exactly what options you have. "I tend to do this a couple of weeks before I pack, ensuring I've got myself covered for evening outfit changes too. I make sure to leave plenty of room for shoe options. It's also a good idea to pack outfits that can be mixed and matched. For example, three different tops that go with two different pairs of shorts. I always weigh my bags ahead of time too and add on any extra luggage before I travel if I needed.' Take your creature comforts 'Brits are known for bringing teddies, slippers and even ketchup on holiday – so lean into it. If bringing a few items as part of a comfort kit will help ease homesickness for you or your family, then why not make room for the jar of Marmite! I can never leave for my holidays without a stash of my favourite teabags. They don't take up lots of space or weight, so why not chuck them in!' Ditch folding for rolling, bundling or filing 'Nobody wants to spend their time ironing on holiday. I always opt to roll my clothes to help avoid creases and to save space. If you need that extra bit of compression you can try the 'bundle method' where you wrap larger items around smaller ones. That said, if you're someone who doesn't like to unpack their suitcase when you get to your destination, filing your clothes vertically lets you see everything in your case at a glance – you just might need to take more advantage of a travel iron!' Sticky notes are your best friend 'Every holiday, the average Brit forgets two essential items. They're usually things like travel adaptors, chargers or toothbrushes. So, before you zip up your bag, physically check off your essentials: phone, passport, charger, swimming costume, and, yes, underwear! A sticky note checklist on your front door works wonders to jog your memory. The week before I travel, I write a list of things I need to buy, the essentials like suncream and insect repellent. It keeps me super relaxed on the way to the airport knowing everything is already in my case.' Don't leave things hanging 'The worst packing mistake I've ever heard was by a lady who packed for her partner and left their clothes hanging up at home ready to go in the case! At the end of the day, the clothes are all going in the suitcase, so sitting in there for an extra few days won't hurt. Better that than being left with nothing to wear.' Downsize your toiletries 'Most destinations sell shampoo and bodywash, so there's no need to pack the whole bathroom cupboard. Instead, swap out bulky bottles for travel-size refills or reusable containers. Make-up wipes and solid toiletries like shampoo bars can also save space and prevent leaks. If in doubt, it's worth wrapping up a bottle in a plastic bag to prevent any spillages in transit.' In-flight essentials 'It's a given that eye masks, earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones are essential for comfort on a plane, but one thing a lot of people forget to bring is a reusable water bottle. You can refill it after security, and cabin crew are often able to top you up during long flights too – this is a great money saving hack so you don't end up spending extra pounds on disposable bottles for the whole family. "It's also really important to stay hydrated during a flight – the air can get quite dehydrating. That's also why I like to bring a little facemask for a long flight. An hour or so before landing I'll pop it on to properly wake me up after any naps and I always feel so much more refreshed.'
