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."

It's not the only bargain buy shoppers are going wild for in Home Bargains.

It also has a number of Easiscoop feeding
bowls
, which stack inside each other to save on space.
They are said to be safe to use in the microwave, and BPA free - as well as being dishwasher safe.

There are also a number of ergonomically shaped spoons which are 'easy to hold, without getting your fingers messy.'
Meanwhile, the kit also comes with a weaning sippy cup to help develop tipping and sipping skills whilst preventing spills.

CHEAP Ryanair flights, AirBnb, iPads - holidays of today are practically unrecognisable from the 1980s and 90s.

I ditched UK for ‘Europe's Maldives' with fab beaches & £1 beer…childcare's FREE & bills cost less than KFC Family Feast
IT'S known as the 'Maldives of Europe' thanks to its stunning white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters. Add to that an insanely cheap cost of living that's a jaw-dropping 61 per cent lower than the UK, and it was a no-brainer for Alice Taylor when she decided to move there in 2017. 15 Alice Taylor moved to Albania eight years ago and far prefers it to the UK Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania 15 There are stunning beaches and mountainous hikes half an hour away Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania 15 The beaches have been likened to the Maldives Credit: Getty The 38-year-old, who's originally from Cornwall, has set up home in Tirana, the capital of A staggering 11.7million people visited last year alone - a 15 per cent rise from 2023, and nearly double the number who holidayed there five years ago. While the ex-Eastern Bloc state remains one of the cheaper European resorts to visit, with beer as cheap as £1 and a glass of wine £1.50, Alice says she saves thousands by living there. Her monthly electricity bill is as little as £21 - less than the cost of a KFC Family Feast - childcare is basically free and eating out is cheaper than cooking at home. But the biggest thing for Alice - aside from the beautiful beaches and picturesque mountain hikes on her doorstep - is the lack of crime. Alice, a 'I walk home late in the evening alone and feel safe, leave my house unlocked and leave my bag on a table outside a cafe on a coffee table and know it will still be there when I return. 'It's not like London where you have to be careful getting your phone or wallet out while walking on the street. It's a completely different culture. 'My husband will stop outside a local shop, leave the car unlocked with the engine running and go inside to do whatever he has to do and come back. 'You couldn't do that in London, you'd be arrested for stopping in the middle of the street and your car wouldn't be there when you came back! Up-and-coming holiday hotspot has £2 beers, £30 hotels & is 3 hours from UK 'There is crime and corruption but it's limited to criminal gangs. If you're not involved in that world you won't have any issues at all.' Alice fell in love with the country during a three-and-a-half-day trip back in 2017 - which had to be extended after she contracted an ear infection. While there she got chatting to a group of Albanians at a coffee shop - and a few shots raki (a 40 per cent proof local spirit) later, she felt like one of the locals. 'They didn't speak a word of English and their only idea of a blonde British woman was Princess Diana, but we had a lovely time," she recalls. 'I was drunk when I left and when I tried to change my plane ticket, I accidentally booked it for three weeks later instead of a few days later, so I decided to make the most of it. I walk home late in the evening alone and feel safe, leave my house unlocked and leave my bag on a table outside a cafe on a coffee table and know it will still be there when I return Alice Taylor 'I found it really interesting, beautiful. The people were really friendly and I felt safe, I wasn't being cat-called on the street or harassed and there was no sense of unease.' Alice made friends, attended parties and went on several hikes. By the time she left Albania, she had already booked her return ticket - and 10 days later she moved there for good from Malta, where she'd lived for a decade after graduating from university. 'I didn't feel at home in the UK so I went to Malta, where I felt I was always an expat and a foreigner," she says. "But then I came to Albania and it clicked, I felt I fitted in here." Meals out under a tenner 15 Alice says she's never felt safer than in Albania and walks around alone at any time of the day or night Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania 15 Alice has enjoyed banquet sized meals for two for just £8 Credit: instagram/aliceinalbania 15 She says beer starts from £1 and wine is £1.25 Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania Alice is not alone. A growing number of people are seeing the benefits to Albania, which according to The site, based on crowdsourced data, found it to be 61 per cent cheaper than the UK. Eating out is half the price, rent a quarter and utility bills a third. The country is becoming so popular that US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are building a $1.4billion luxury resort there, while flight traffic has increased 114 per cent since 2019. 'The cost of living - although rising - is still cheap," says Alice. 'I went out for lunch with my husband the other day - we had six large meatballs, two large salads, two portions of grilled potatoes, bread, dips and drinks, and it came to €10 (£8.40). I went out for lunch with my husband the other day - we had six large meatballs, two large salads, two portions of grilled potatoes, bread, dips and drinks, and it came to €10 (£8.40) Alice Taylor "It's definitely cheaper going out than entertaining at home. A cappuccino here is €1.20 (£1), and an espresso is 70 cents (60p), so it's really cheap. "A beer is anything from €1.20 (£1) upwards and a glass of wine can be €1.50 (£1.25). 'Brits are cottoning onto this. I just hope it doesn't become stag party central. Albanians drink but they don't get drunk, they don't pee in the street or beat each other up, it's a different culture. 'People will drink one raki in the morning and maybe one at lunchtime. If they had a British mentality, oh my God, they would be s**tfaced by lunchtime and pass out.' Alice also notes that everything in Tirana takes less than an hour to walk to, and local bus tickets are 40 cents (34p) - or for three euros (£2.50) you can travel 35 miles away. Cut-price housing Rent is considerably cheaper, too. Alice used to pay €350 (£295) per month for a spacious apartment with two double bedrooms 'in the fanciest part of town' when she initially moved. Eight years on that same pad would cost around €800 (£670) but Alice says there are other places costing €500 (£420) per month - by comparison, two-bed flats in London tend to cost upwards of £2,200. Alice bought a 67sqm two-bedroom, one bathroom ground floor apartment with an open plan living room-diner and 70sqm of land outside for €100,000 (£84,000). That's a quarter of the price of a two-bed flat in London, which ranges between £400,000 and £1million, and a third of what you would fork out on average in the UK, with prices between £270,000 and £700,000. Her monthly bills can be as little as €25 (£21) for electricity, compared to £73.41 in the UK; water is €20 (£16) compared to £37, and internet is €15 (£12) compared to £32. That brings her monthly bills to around £52, compared to £160-plus back home - around a third of the cost.

For full-time hours parents pay a minimal fee, and for half-days it's entirely free from birth. Alice pays just €30 (£25) per month to send her daughter to kindergarten five days a week, from 7am until 5pm, and that includes two meals. The cost of having a child under two at nursery full-time in the UK is £238.95 a week on average including government funding, going down to £225.70 for over twos, according to Coram - but can be significantly more depending on where you live. While it's much cheaper, she concedes the classrooms are 'a bit overcrowded' compared to those in the UK and it's 'not the best in the world' but the quality of care is high. They love children, stranger danger isn't a thing. People stop you on the street to say, 'She's such a sweet girl, here's two euros.' It's such a lovely place to raise a child Alice Taylor She also relishes being able to bring up her daughter in a safe environment and insists locals are extremely accommodating towards families. 'In the UK you're told, 'Don't talk to or take sweets from strangers,' but here, family is really important and older people love nothing more than to give them sweets," Alice says. 'They love children, stranger danger isn't a thing. People stop you on the street to say, 'She's such a sweet girl, here's two euros.' It's such a lovely place to raise a child. 'Your child could be jumping up and down on a table in a restaurant, smashing glasses, and they would still say, 'Don't worry, leave her, she's fine.' "In the UK, they would be like, 'Get your dirty rotten child out of here!'' 15 Albania has beaches that have been compared to Thailand Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania 15 They enjoy fresh produce from local farmers Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania 15 Alice has written three books due to being so inspired by Albania Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania Top healthcare Alice also praised the healthcare system in Albania, where it's free for citizens or €50 (£42) per year for foreign residents - and it's not plagued by lengthy waiting lists like in the UK. 'My husband had a few heart issues related to stress and on the same day, he had three checks including an echo cardiogram,' she tells us. 'My daughter had pneumonia and was treated in the equivalent of A&E within 20 minutes. "If I wake up tomorrow and don't feel well, I walk to my GP clinic and queue, and I will be seen the same day. "There's no, 'Are you dead yet? Call when you can't breathe?' like there is in the UK, they get the ball rolling quickly. If I wake up tomorrow and don't feel well, I walk to my GP clinic and queue, and I will be seen the same day Alice Taylor 'The only problem is when it comes to serious or rare diseases and transplants, which they don't have the facilities or equipment to treat, but work is being done to change that. 'To get around this I take out a €700-a-year (£590) healthcare policy that covers my daughter and I, and means we can be treated in Italy or Turkey if they can't do anything here.' Many Brits are attracted to Albania for its affordable dental care - including teeth whitening, which costs €100 (£75) for two sessions, and check-ups with cleaning for €10 (£7.50). That same treatment would cost between £350 and £1,000 in the UK, and check-ups cost £89 with an additional £98 fee to see a hygienist, according to 'You don't need an appointment or have to wait six months like in the UK,' Alice says. 15 'Everywhere is extremely walkable,' Alice tells us Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania 15 Albania has been labelled 'Europe's Maldives' Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania 15 Alice is a journalist and TV presenter in Albania Credit: instagram/aliceinalbania 15 One of three books Alice has written Credit: instagram/aliceinalbania 15 She has 31,400 followers on Instagram - in part due to her stunning Albania photos Credit: Instagram/aliceinalbania 15 She tells us it's cheaper to eat out than to cook Credit: instagram/aliceinalbania Alice has been so inspired by her new life that she's penned three books - poetry collection Tales From North Albania, travel book Having lived there for eight years now, Alice is 'fluent enough' to work as a TV presenter and says locals are thrilled by any attempts to speak the language. 'There's no animosity or 'you need to speak my language', people are very helpful and can't do enough to help you like using Google translate, pictures or hand gestures,' she says. Alice admits she is 'privileged' because being from the UK allows her to work for international companies, which not all Albanians would be able to benefit from. It is a developing country, but as a British person I prefer Albania Alice Taylor 'I've made it sound like the promised land, but of course there are problems," she adds. "Local salaries are difficult here, it's difficult for LGTBQ+ people and there is corruption. 'It's still developing; the country is 34 years old since the fall of communism. It is a developing country, but as a British person I prefer Albania. 'When it comes to the weather, the food, the culture, access to nature and diversity of it, and the environment I can raise my daughter in, it's far better than the UK. "You feel safe and the country is stunning - whether you want fancy beach resorts, mountain hikes or skiing, it has everything." You can follow
