Holiday packing tips
Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday.
1. Write a list
Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase.
Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack.
2. Involve your kids
Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list.
'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.'
3. Try a hack or two
She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip.
"Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver.
'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes.
"These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked.
"I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived."
4. Decant beauty products
Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller.
Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive.
5. Get organised before you come home
Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes.
'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person.
"Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."
As well as this, if you're jetting away for a week-long break and are looking for packing cubes to keep your suitcase organised, you'll be pleased to know that Superdrug now has just what you need, and for only £5.
The three-pack of packing cubes contain one small, medium and large cube and are sure to tidy up your bag and make packing a breeze.
There's also drinking cups, which look strikingly similar to Stanley cups, for only £10.
As well as being £35 cheaper than the iconic buy, these dupe-tastic drinking cups are sure to brighten up your day, whilst keeping your drinks cool this summer.
The Sun Travel team's holiday essentials
WITH decades of experience and hundreds of countries under their belt, the Sun Travel team have shared some of the essential items they always pack on a trip.
Here are some of the game-changing items we always pack - and some will barely cost you a thing. Lisa Minot, Head of Travel - Global travel plug with USB (£64)
Caroline McGuire, Travel Editor - Hotel Slippers
Sophie Swietochowski, Assistant Travel Editor - Pack of 40 earplugs (£40)
Kara Godfrey, Deputy Travel Editor - 1 litre water bottle (£8.99)
Ryan Gray, Travel Reporter - Bluetooth eye mask (£16.50)
Giuli Graziano, Travel Writer - AirTag luggage location tracker (£29.99).
On top of this, fashion fans will also be able to get their hands on a range of stylish sunglasses, all of which are only £3 each.

Today's horoscope for June 3 as Virgo senses tension in a relationship
Today's horoscope for Tuesday, June 3 will see Scorpio assertively communicate ideas, while Pisces should embrace their independence It's Tuesday, and one star sign should turn a dream into reality, while another will find a way to get their finances back on track. There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared. Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) You're starting to feel as if things are moving too slowly and you're tired of feeling as if your life is on pause. Take some time to visualise the future you really want. If you can picture it, you can start preparing to make this dream a reality. Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) Disagreements over finances have been getting you down. It won't be easy but you are determined to find a way to get your money situation back on track. A friend has some unusual ideas. Even if you aren't interested, at least encourage them to explore their interests on their own. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) Energy is high. Your housemates and workmates will be impressed by all the effort you are putting into your current commitments. You will need to be at your charming best when meeting up with your in-laws later in the day. Even if you disagree with something they say, remain polite. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) Unexpected events at the start of the day are likely to derail your initial plans. You've created a cosy routine that you prefer to stick to and any disruption can lead to frustration. Without reflecting on the reasons behind these changes, you may not realise how they, too, have affected other people. Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) You prefer to be independent but sometimes it is good to have someone you can lean on. A partner or close friend will recognise you could do with some help or support. Listen to their words and take them seriously as their guidance will help improve your situation. Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) Criticising your partner's friends or family will create unnecessary tension in your relationship. Your comments could be passed on to others, leading to misunderstandings that will disrupt your plans and leave you unhappy. To avoid stress and disappointment, think before you speak. Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) If you're getting bored with everyday routines or your job situation, you could make the work more interesting by sharing ideas with your colleagues. Just as in a social group, whether it's online or within your local community, give everyone who shows an interest a chance to contribute. Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) A difficult project requires a hands-on strategy. It will be your responsibility to filter out impractical ideas and guide others toward more feasible options. This approach keeps you focused. You have confidence in your work, and if someone disagrees with your proposals, you need to assertively communicate your ideas. Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) Life is starting to pick up pace again and this should please you. You will feel a strong sense of relief to be able to escape a monotonous routine. You were close to losing faith in some projects ever taking off and it will be great to see that someone who has been blocking progress has stepped back from it all. Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) You have been spending a lot of time lately on your own or even if there have been people around, you still felt alone. Seek out people whose company always makes you feel comfortable and welcome. Show an interest in what your colleagues are doing and you will find your relationships become more fulfilling. Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) The same time as new job opportunities arise, you will be invited to join in with some exciting leisure activities. It might seem as if everything is happening at once but you will find a way to manage it all and you will do this with surprising ease. Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) You know what you want and you even have a good idea of the tactics you are going to use to achieve this. Your colleagues respect your drive to succeed. Embracing your independence and proving what you are capable of is truly empowering. All your efforts will ultimately pay off handsomely.
