I’m incredibly guilty of buying holiday-specific items that I only use once or twice a year. Admittedly, there are very limited occasions for me to use a flamingo floatie on a regular Thursday. But it got me wondering whether there was a way to use some of my other holiday essentials when I get home, instead.
After all, I always make time to declutter before going on holiday, but nobody really talks about the post-holiday chaos where you have a suitcase full of travel toiletries, beach towels, souvenirs and packing cubes that need a home in your house. And normally, I shove them to the back of a cupboard, hide them in the spare room, and pretend they don’t exist until I next go on holiday.
