Bulk Hygiene Product Packs Should Be Readily Accessible

It is quite often that we get a sudden rush order for bulk hygiene products and that usually corresponds with some natural disaster. However, what really moves our heart is when we see community and nonprofit leaders ordering bulk hygiene product packs in advance. Those are the communities who are going to be prepared and that preparedness likely extends far beyond hygiene.

Those will be the communities with water on hand. Those will be the communities with proper shelter available. Those will be the communities ready to rebuild and as it pertains to us, those will be the communities that avoid a major public hygiene crisis. Where a public hygiene crisis exists, a public health crisis is sure to follow.

Communities that do not prepare look a bit more like New Orleans in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. It was a national tragedy to witness the lack of preparedness of that community and it is not a stretch to say that many of our fellow citizens died unnecessarily. If you are preparing as a community down to the level of proper hygiene, then you will be prepared for whatever else may come your way.

From Sea To Shining Sea, Communities Must Prepare For A Hygiene Crisis

Unfortunately, far too many local leaders and nonprofit executives just assume that someone will be coming in to save the day during a disaster. Such was the case with Hurricane Katrina and we see how well that worked out. However, any good disaster response professional will tell you that disaster response starts local and ends local. Local leaders, it is on you to begin the response process before help arrives and it will be on you to wrap up the response long after help has gone.

Moreover, every part of this country from sea to shining seas has the potential for a generational disaster to unfold. We’re not talking about your standard tornado, wildfire, or flood. The Cascadia subduction zone off the coast of Oregon and Washington has the potential to slip at any time and create a wall of water that will cause unprecedented destruction. The New Madrid Fault line once produced an earthquake so powerful that it caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards and create Reelfoot Lake.

We could go on and on about the potential for disaster and yet, the solution is still the same. Preparedness is the only way forward and the only approach that should be taken. In our case, that means we prepare your community to continue to take showers, change diapers, brush teeth, and stay clean to avoid watching a disaster turn into a public hygiene health crisis.

Bulk Hygiene Products Tackle The National Homeless Crisis Every Single Day

Disasters can seem infrequent, but homelessness is a public hygiene health crisis that faces this nation daily. Our products are routinely used by communities throughout this nation to address elements of that crisis. It does not seem that any community has truly been able to eliminate homelessness, but every community has the ability to tackle the hygiene crisis that comes along with that.

Please don’t fail to understand the power and potential of a warm shower to restore one’s dignity and give them a glimpse of what can be. Even those in the throes of addiction and mental health crisis can feel restored when their body is clean. When people on the bus or in the street don’t feel the need to shy away from them, a human can feel like a human again.

We Still Offer Convenient Hygiene Solutions For All

Before we return to talking about a looming community hygiene crisis, we just want to take a quick break and reassure you that we are still providing solutions for the individual traveler. This is, after all, where we got our start. Sure, we have those pesky TSA requirements to thank for some of our success, but the truth is that there was always a demand for convenient travel hygiene solutions.

We offer customized solutions for men, women, parents and more to ensure that travel takes place without any hygiene mishaps. If you’re the busy mom who is responsible for doing all the packing for a family vacation, these kits can be a breath of fresh air. If you’re the busy traveling executive who prioritizes time above all, our kits give you the gift of time so that you can get busy doing what you do best.

There is no guessing or wondering whether or not you packed the toothbrush or deodorant. Our kits are affordable enough that you can even treat them as a one-time use solution and just toss what’s left on your way home if you so choose. They just check the box of hygiene without thought and with much ease so that you can focus on the actual trip. Whether that is travel for business or pleasure, we’ve got you covered.

Small Towns Across America Have An Urgent Need To Prepare

Back to preparing for the next community hygiene crisis, we want to wrap up by appealing to smaller communities with smaller budgets to take advantage of federal and state emergency preparedness grants. They exist and it takes just a little bit of research to uncover them.

There is something about a disaster striking our largest cities that fascinates us as humans. In the movies we might see the Statue of Liberty in ruins or a giant wave overwhelming the Golden Gate Bridge. However, our small and rural communities are just as much at risk for a disaster. Moreover, they can often be the least prepared.

Many communities just assume that The Red Cross or The Salvation Army is just going to show up with everything you need, but that is just not the case. Particularly if it is a regional disaster and the larger cities are getting all of the attention. Small communities in Louisiana that prepared ahead of Katrina fared well. Small communities that did not prepare fared poorly.

Every Human Services Nonprofit Should Order Bulk Hygiene Kits

We routinely work with nonprofits as our ability to stock and ship hygiene solutions is second to none. When a disaster hits, we’ll often field multiple orders for nonprofits in the same community. What we find works best is when all nonprofit organizations take public hygiene seriously. It is a basic human need that will exist, regardless of the human population that your organization serves. Once again, please don’t just assume The Salvation Army is going to swoop in and save the day.

Meals on Wheels organizations serving vulnerable seniors at home should have hygiene kits on hand to deliver with the meals. Homeless shelters should have enough kits to hand out when shelters are overwhelmed due to excessive heat or cold. Foster care programs and youth residential facilities should have enough on hand to make sure hygiene takes place. When every nonprofit in a community prioritizes public hygiene and takes responsibility for ensuring it continues unabated, a public hygiene health crisis can be averted. If you are a nonprofit, please check out the good work we do and ways we can help you accomplish your mission.

A Final Appeal For Local Leaders To Prepare For A Public Hygiene Crisis

It is up to you as local leaders to prepare your communities for the worst. Yes, that includes public hygiene kits that you can order in bulk. That might seem a bit self-serving given that we sell hygiene kits in bulk, but there is ample evidence from past disasters and emergency responses that prove its importance. We’re not making this up and whether you call us before the disaster or after the disaster, hygiene is going to be a present need in such scenarios.

We just think that you serve your communities well as leaders by preparing in advance. We’ve got some fairly fast shipping solutions, but we can’t get you the hygiene products you need at the speed of a spontaneous tornado or in time for an earthquake that was ordained to take place since the tectonic plates started moving. We’re fast, just not that fast.

We do have a great team on hand that can work with you as a local community or nonprofit leader to help you discover which solution is right for your community. Whether you want simple unisex kits or a variety of custom solutions, we can help you find the right path forward for every community and for every single budget. Reach out to us and we’ll help you prepare for the next community hygiene crisis.

This guide is designed to provide you with tips on how to stay clean, healthy, and hygienic while on family vacations by having essential kits around.

Introduction to Travel and Hygiene Kits

When it comes to family travels, having the right supplies is essential. Travel kits and hygiene kits are some of the essential items you should carry on any vacation. And while both offer a range of helpful items, they serve different purposes.

Travel kits are designed to make packing easier by providing the necessary items in one convenient package. They mostly contain toiletries, dental hygiene products, and other essential items that can easily fit in your suitcase. Some also come with special amenities for kids, such as kid-sized toothbrushes and child-safe sunscreen.

Hygiene kits, on the other hand, are a bit different from travel kits. While they often contain some of the same items, such as toiletries and dental hygiene products, their primary focus is on promoting healthy hygiene practices. These kits typically include hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes, face masks, and other items that can help protect against germs and disease.

A first aid kit is also very resourceful on any short or long travel. It comes with band-aids, tweezers, disposable sterile gloves, antiseptic wipes, and more. You can customize yours to include prescription medication, kids' upset stomach relievers, over-the-counter flu medications, etc.

7 Tips for Staying Hygienic and Healthy While on Family Travels

Do some research on your destination

The first step before embarking on any travel is research. This will help you prepare methods to counter any health concerns related to your destination. Domestic travels are less demanding on health safety research, but when traveling outside your country, essentials such as vaccines against certain diseases are critical for all travelers.

Things are much different beyond your country's borders, and as such, you may find yourself vulnerable to diseases not common in your home country. To help you get an idea of what to expect in your travel destination and the must-have vaccines, visit this CDC page for more information.

Pack travel-sized hygiene essentials

Traveling with kids can be stressful, and ensuring they stay healthy and hygienic while on the road is important. A great way to keep your family safe while traveling is to pack a collection of travel-sized hygiene essentials, such as those found in our Kids and Baby Travel Kits.

Remember, kits are supposed to contain the most essential items and therefore need to be easily portable. You don't want to carry a lot of weight in the name of having all essentials around; you may not get to use them all.

Wash your hands often and keep surfaces clean

Proper hand-washing is one of the best and easiest ways to stay healthy and hygienic while traveling. However, especially when traveling with kids, it's important to take extra precautions beyond proper hand-washing techniques. An approved sanitizer is better.

Ensure your carry travel-sized bottles of hand sanitizer since you won't always have sinks and running water at your disposal on demand. For extra measures, choose hygiene kits designed explicitly for family travels; most come complete with antibacterial wipes, soap, and even face masks.

The antibacterial wipes will come in handy in keeping surfaces like door knobs, shopping carts, and table tops clean. All this will ensure your family stays safe and healthy, be it at airports or any public space.

Take care of your skin

During a family vacation, it's important to remember to take care of your skin. The sun, wind, and pollution can all wreak havoc on our skin, so it's important to keep it protected. Wearing sunscreen is the best way to protect your skin from the sun's rays, so remember to carry children-safe sunscreen.

It's also important to moisturize your skin while traveling. A good moisturizer can help to protect your skin from environmental damage. Choose one that's suited for your skin type, and be sure to reapply it whenever necessary.

Practice safe food handling

When traveling with the family, practicing safe food handling is vital. To avoid food-borne illnesses, pack travel-safe snacks such as yogurt with fruit and granola, and try as much as possible to make your own healthy meals. In addition, before preparing or eating your food, always wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds.

Remember, cross-contamination can occur when utensils are used on different types of food without being washed first. Avoid this by having multiple sets of silverware and plates or other hygienic food containers.

Stay hydrated

Dehydration can lead to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, muscle cramps, and even scaly skin. On travels, it's mostly caused by low intake of healthy fluids like water, alcohol consumption, vomiting, and bacteria-related illnesses such as travel diarrhea.

Staying hydrated could not only mean avoiding dehydration complications but also giving life to your adventures since you'll be healthy enough to enjoy your vacation.

You can stay hydrated and healthy by carrying portable fresh water bottles or having a water filter bottle to enjoy clean water on the go. If you don't have access to a water filter, ensure you boil your water before drinking.

Exercise

Remember to keep your body active. This will help relieve your body of muscle and joint tension and get your blood flowing. On drives, consider pulling over when you need to walk a little and have a few minutes of stretching. It's also possible to stretch your legs by taking a short walk during flights when allowed or during a layover.

Why Is Hygiene During Family Travels Important?

During a family vacation, it can be challenging to maintain your daily eating, sleep, or hygiene routine and keep everyone clean. Adjusting some of these patterns while on your way to and after arriving at your destination is easier said than done. However, it's relatively easy to maintain or have a hygiene routine, and with a hygiene kit, you and your family stay healthy and protected from germs and other health risks while on the road.

To ensure that your next family trip is hygienic with minimal mishaps from infections, visit our home page for a travel, hygiene, or budget kit. Of course, not everything is written in stone, so we allow adjustments, or you can simply choose to build your custom travel kit.

For some, the holidays mean large family gatherings, soda stains on the carpet, fighting over the remaining turkey gravy, or your brother’s Christmas present. But not all of us can stay local Whether your family lives out of town, your boss is taking you on a holiday business venture or you want to get AWAY from family- you’ll almost certainly be traveling.

But between flight layovers, unpredictable weather, shortened in-store holiday hours, and the high cost of hotels and cabs- you don’t want to be running around buying essentials the minute you land. Holidays are a beautiful time to bond or renew bonds with family you may not have seen in a long time. They bring a chance to travel somewhere new, cross adventures off your bucket list, and renew your inspiration for creativity or attitude towards work life. With preparation and a good mood, you can have a great time- even if things get in the way of your travel plans.

When it comes to short holiday stints, it's crucial to have everything you need, when you need it. Here are five tips to help you plan and prepare accordingly so you can spend your time doing what matters most with the people who matter most.

It starts with a pen and paper (or laptop if you’re super organized) and long before you even begin to pack.

1. Book your flight early.

Everyone has an itch to travel since covid restrictions were lifted, and holiday travel is always costly. If you wait until the holiday season to book- prices will be sky-high.

Many airlines are no longer providing free changes or cancellations, even though they were quite accommodating during the peak of Covid.

Consider paying a little extra for a flight with a free change or cancellation. You never know what unforeseen circumstances may come up and some flexibility is never a bad thing.

2. Make arrangements for accommodations or car rentals in advance.

Ask a friend or family member to stay with them if you’re on a budget.

You can also find great deals or holiday sales but once your travels begin, any last-minute hotel reservations or car rentals will be far more expensive.

Car rental prices always increase during the holidays, consider using uber or lift to save money you can use elsewhere. If driving in your vehicle, make sure you’re full of gas, oil, and windshield fluid and that the car is working as it should be. And don’t forget your driver's license and registration!

3. Book Smart!

Look for deals in advance (or last minute) on Expedia, kayak, booking.com, or Priceline. Sites like DansDeals, The Points Guy, and Scott’s Cheap Flights often contain promotions at different times of the year. Consider signing up for a credit card such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Chase Sapphire preferred.

Numerous credit cards are offering incredible bonus rewards and insurance for cancellations, luggage, and car rentals. It may seem like a costly signup fee, but the benefits outweigh the costs if you’re a frequent flier.

4. Give yourself cushion time for last-minute mishaps.

With winter in North America, you never know if you’ll wind up stuck on the tarmac or highway due to blizzards or snowstorms. Prepare for road closures, delays, cars that need boosting, and other weather-related events.

If you’re rushing to a family gathering or work-related event, perhaps travel a day or two early and avoid flights with a layover in case of any last-minute disasters.

Always check the weather a day or two before your flight and be on the lookout for email notifications about flight changes or delays.

5. Make a comprehensive packing list, including gifts and goodies for others.

Niece never forgave you for forgetting to bring her a Christmas present last year?

Left those massive packs of M&M’s your uncle overseas has been waiting for?

Included in this list should be clothing, accessories, toiletries, medications, travel/identification documents, gifts, etc.

Order and pick up necessary medications or important items so you’re not scrambling the day before your flight.

6. Research Your Destination!

Prepare a list of nearby shopping malls, restaurants, grocery stores, and pharmacies. If you need last-minute medication, a bottle of milk, or a promise to pick up goodies for the family to get together- you won’t get stuck driving around in circles or frantically looking online at the last minute.

7. Pack light, but smart.

This is tricky. On the one hand, the less you have the easier it is to navigate travel. If your destination has a washing machine, go easy on clothing to save room However, especially when traveling with children, the last thing you want is to be scouting for Walmart off the highway to buy diapers or Tylenol. Stores close early on the holidays and you want to spend time with family and friends- not shopping for items you could have easily brought with a proper packing list. Also, Leave some space in your suitcase for the gifts you hope the family bought you.

8. Check your travel documents!

Getting turned around at the airport can be devastating, especially when you’ve been planning your trip for months. If your passport is expiring soon or is invalid, apply for renewal long before your trip so there is adequate time to receive your documents.

Check the international requirements for your destination. Crossing the border by land may be easier to navigate than flying by air. Perhaps there is an easy way to receive a travel visa online or some wiggle room for traveling on an expired passport.

Don’t risk it. It’s best to start the process early to avoid the anxiety and stress that inadequate documentation can cause.

9. Find a safe, separate place or pouch for the important stuff.

Keep your travel and identification documents in a special compartment inside your bag or wear a fanny pack on your waist. Documents are needed multiple times throughout the airport and you don’t want to risk dropping your passport or boarding pass in the bathroom or while waiting in line. Having everything you need accessible and in one place gives you peace of mind and security to navigate your travels.

10. Complete pre-check-in for your flight.

Pre-check can only be done 24 hours before the flight and doesn’t always speed up wait time at the airport. However, If there is an option for pre-check-in, complete it, print and bring it with you to the airport so you can skip the boarding pass process.

Above are tips for planning travel, but as the trip gets closer- you may find yourself stressed and tight on time. Having to meet pre-holiday work deadlines, shopping, cooking, cleaning, and planning your trip- it’s important to address last-minute details so you’re not still packing on your way to the car. Here are some tips to think about the week of, or a few days before your trip.

11. Pack a separate carry-on or knapsack exclusively for the plane or car ride.

This may include a small bag of toiletries- a mini toothbrush and toothpaste, lenses and solution, glasses, face wash, feminine products, makeup, deodorant, and a shaver. Don’t forget any important electronic devices and accessories such as your laptop, phone charger, and a universal adaptor for international travel. Imagine having to blow dry your hair or shave only to find your devices don’t fit the outlet.

Additionally, you may want to avoid checking in your laptop, jewelry, and other valuables you don’t want to risk checking under the plane. Airports typically allow two pieces of carry-on luggage. Consider bringing a small carry-on suitcase with wheels and a knapsack.

12. Comfort comes first!

Many people travel over the holidays. In case of delays or unexpected mishaps. Bring along Snacks, a soft sweater, a neck pillow, an eye mask, earbuds, earplugs- anything that keeps you comfortable on the plane, in the airport, or en route to your destination.

Consider a change of clothing, a couple of basic makeup items, and any other items you would need in case your bag is lost or delayed. Entertainment is also important. Grab a book or magazine, pack your laptop and other valuables you may not want to check under the plane in a knapsack or carry-on with wheels.

Check out this affordable 11 pc ladies’ travel kit to keep you cool and fresh while traveling, 

Or our new men’s 13-piece travel kit that comes in a durable black bag with handles for easy carrying!

13. Pack extra for the kids.

When traveling with children, make sure to create a packing list and ALWAYS bring an extra change of clothing and pajamas in case of bathroom emergencies or delays. Diapers, wipes, diaper creams, and medication should be packed in a carry-on with easy access.

An extra blanket or sweaters, snacks, and some toys or coloring books are a great way to keep them entertained on the plane, at the airport, and during any transitions during travel. If short on space, consider purchasing a baby travel kit like this one

Which includes wipes, diaper cream, baby wash, a comb, and a couple of baby toys for your little one to play with!

14. Label your Luggage!

Especially during peak travel season, there are often luggage delays or unfortunately, lost luggage. Label or air-tag your suitcases with a name, phone number, and address. Put something noticeable such as red tape, paint, or a handkerchief on the handle of each bag.

This can help you easily recognize your luggage or describe it to airline staff should the need arise. Ladies, keep your travel kit handy to freshen up while waiting at the airport for your luggage!

Ok, so you’ve collected up-to-date travel documents, packed your suitcases and hand luggage, and organized transport, activities, and potential mishaps. You’ve brought along a trusty budget travel kit for everyone in the family

But are you prepared for the DAY of travel? Procrastinators may find themselves pulling an all-nighter trying to get organized and begin traveling exhausted and stressed. Following the tips below will help you feel energized and prepared for the day of travel itself.

15. Get a good night's sleep

Difficult circumstances are often inevitable, but how you cope in response is directly correlated with sleep, food, and energy levels. Sleeping well before traveling provides energy to remain cool, calm, and collected no matter what pops up along the way. Eat a healthy meal or pack nutritious food along with you, and make sure to stay hydrated.

16. Stay healthy and safe.

Worried about germs? Flu? Covid? Take precautions by washing your hands with warm water and soap, especially on the airplane, at the airport, or after using public transportation. Alternatively, use hand sanitizer or a wet wipe instead, especially before eating. Try one of our essential hygiene kits which includes a toothbrush and toothpaste, gloves, a mask, and wet wipes so you can feel clean, safe, safe, and protected at all times.

17. Prepare the family

Sit down with your children or partner and review what the next day of traveling will look like, and how they can help. Tell them what time in the morning (or evening) you are traveling, that checking in and security may take time, or the amount of time it will take to reach your destination (be it by plane or car.)

Ask if there are any last-minute toys or snacks they’d like to bring for the trip, and consider downloading some child-friendly games on the iPad or phone if the car ride will be long. Bring gravel and a plastic bag for your car-sick child and ensure everyone uses the bathroom before the ride. Give each child a responsibility, such as carrying their bag or some hand luggage through the airport.

Try to give your children an ‘early night’ so they’re not cranky while traveling. Make sure your children are well fed in the morning and finally- pack along some prizes or treats for good behavior and play nicely with siblings.

18. Smile, and take a deep breath.

Things happen. Flights are missed or delayed. Stormy weather wrecks our holiday plans or perhaps you wind up paying a fortune to make it to your destination. You may not even end up traveling at all. Remind yourself, and your family- that your holiday plans may not turn out the way you intended. And that’s ok. Practice deep breathing and gratitude. Resolve to plan better next year and have an enjoyable backup plan, such as a nice restaurant or activity should life get in the way of your plans.

19. Stay Fresh!

It’s important to feel clean while traveling- no matter the circumstances. You’d be surprised what a toothbrush or face wash can do for your mood!

Happy Travelling, and Happy Holidays!

We’ve all been there. It’s all too easy to procrastinate planning and organizing a trip until the last minute. There’s just so much to remember. But the last thing you want after a stressful travel experience is to realize you’ve forgotten something important.

Over here at Convenience Kits International, we’re here to help! We’ve compiled a comprehensive guide that you can reference to make every step of the planning process a breeze. Check it out below.

Step 1: Make a List

Every successful trip begins with a good list. While it’s going to vary between person and destination, there are a few essentials that we all need to stay clean and healthy. Here’s one we compiled for you to reference.

Hygiene Essentials

• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste
• Dental Floss
• Face Wash
• Moisturizer
• Sunscreen (no matter where you’re going!)
• Comb or Hairbrush
  Feminine Hygiene Products
• Mask and Hand Sanitizer
• Contact Lenses and Solution
• Razor
• Shaving Cream
• Nail Clippers
• First-Aid Ointment

Whew. Seems hefty, doesn’t it? Whether you’re flying, driving, or taking a train, you’re going to want your bag to be as light as possible. If you bring full-sized versions of all your products you likely won’t have room for much clothing, and certainly not for any mementos you want to bring home.

Packing Tip for Products

There’s a solution to keep your luggage a reasonable size and weight: travel-sized products. They contain only the amount you’re going to need for your time away and will take up far less space in your bag. Some people shy away from purchasing travel-sized products because they tend to be more expensive. But you can solve this by buying pre-made Convenience Travel Kits.

Take the Women’s Deluxe 10pc Travel Kit for example. It contains Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, Toothbrush and cover, Toothpaste, Deodorant, and even a styling comb. With a single purchase you can knock your toiletries list in half, and for a quarter of the price that you would spend buying the products individually. It even comes in a TSA Compliant zip-lock bag in case you want to take it in your carry-on.

Going on a girl’s trip? Maybe a Bachelorette party? Orders over 6 can be ordered in bulk, and the more you purchase the less they are. That way you can be sure that the friend you’re sitting beside on the plane has minty fresh breath the entire trip.

For men, a popular choice is the Men’s Deluxe 10pc Travel Kit, which contains similar items (substituted with brands that men know and love). And if you want to travel in style, you can opt for our Premium version that comes in a sleek, extra-large zippered bag.

Essential Clothing

• For warm destinations:
• T-Shirts x 3
• Underwear x however many days you’ll be away
• Sweater x 1
• Pants x 1
  Shorts x 2-3
• Swimsuit
• Dress Shoes
• Sport Shoes

• For mild/cold destinations:
• T-Shirt x 1
• Underwear x however many days you’ll be away
• Sweater x 2
• Pants x 2-3

• Socks x 3-4

Packing Tips for Clothing

1. Wear as many clothes as you feel comfortable with in order to keep your bag light.
2. Instead of folding your clothes, consider rolling them.
   
3. Place the clothes you know you’re going to need first closer to the top.
4. Wear your largest shoes on your feet to save room in your bag.
5. Socks and small items can be stuffed inside your extra pair of shoes.
   
6. If your destination doesn’t have laundry, you can wash your clothes in the sink and hang them overnight to get more wear out of single items.

Essential Documents

While it may be a pain to forget your toothbrush or comb, it’s not going to ruin your entire trip.

But forgetting your passport or license? That just might! We recommend compiling all of your important documents and keeping them aside 2-3 days before you depart. When your departure day comes, place all of your essential documents in a safe and secure place that you can easily access when called on by the TSA or border agent.

• Passport
• Driver’s License
• Car Registration
• Any Extra documents for non-citizens
• Visas
• NEXUS cards

PRO TIP: Did you know that even if your Passport hasn’t expired, many countries will not let you travel if it expires in six months? Make sure you check the expiration date on your card to be certain that you can travel. Most countries will allow you to renew your Passport 1 year in advance of it expiring.

Step 2: Book your Travel Tickets

The best time to buy tickets depends on three important metrics: where you’re going, when you’re going, and how you’re going to get there.

For example, international flights are almost always going to be cheaper when booked a few months in advance. Domestic flights, on the other hand, often have seat sales that knock the price down closer to your departure date. A good rule of thumb is 3 months in advance for international travel and 1 month for domestic.
Vacation destinations have an on and off season that’s usually dependent on the weather. If you can handle a bit of rain and chill, then you can see countries like Greece, Italy, and the UK for a far better price and with far less crowds if you book in January, February, or March.

It’s important to know what exactly you plan on doing in your destination before you choose the month. For example, it may be far cheaper to head to Peru and see Machu Picchu in February. However, a little research goes a long way–February is the rainy season in Aguas Calientes, so you probably wouldn’t see much of the Lost City at all!

Research, research, research.

Pro Tip: Some credit cards will allow you to build points with them for travel-related purchases. These points can be redeemed for travel as well as a variety of goods and services. That means that if you sign up at the right time and pay off the balance responsibly you can essentially get paid to travel.

Step 3: Book your Accommodation

Secured your tickets? Perfect. Now you’ll need somewhere to stay. Whether it’s a hotel, Airbnb, or a friend’s couch, you want to be sure you’ll have somewhere to hang your head once you arrive at your destination. Even if you’re the adventurous type and figure it out as you go, you’ll still definitely need somewhere booked for the first and last nights of your trip.

Hotels with higher ratings will offer standard products like soap, shampoo and conditioner. Unfortunately, these products are usually low quality. For women, we recommend packing a 13 Piece Tresemme Travel Kit in a Premium Clutch bag.

That way you know you’re not only using a trusted beauty product, but you also have every other toiletry you could possibly need not provided by the hotel. It even comes with a floral clutch bag you can put essential items in and place in your purse for an evening out.

Tips for Choosing Accommodation

1. Use trustworthy sites to book to avoid being scammed.
   
2. Read recent reviews of the accommodation.
   
3. Book in advance to get a good price.
   
4. Take recommendations from friends if possible.

PRO TIP: Be sure that you book somewhere close to public transportation or a car rental office if you’re staying on the outskirts of the city. It’s also worthwhile to research individual neighborhoods for safety recommendations. In places like San Francisco or some South American countries, very unsafe neighborhoods are right beside tourist destinations.

Step 4: Plan to do a little good while you’re there

Not what you were expecting? Stay with us.

At Convenience Kits International, we work with a variety of nonprofits in order to provide hygiene and safety kits to underserved communities. No matter where you go on in the world there are people in need. But if you’re venturing to a country or city that you know has higher poverty rates than where you are from, why not bring a bit of extra luggage to make a huge difference?

Because we offer Bulk Ordering, you can provide an entire classroom of students or a small community with a hygiene kit for a very low cost. It may not have crossed your mind when making your list, but it’s one way to guarantee that your trip will have a meaningful impact on wherever you end up.

Step 5: On the road (or sky)

So you’ve made your list, checked it twice, booked your tickets, and remembered your Passport. Now it’s smooth sailing, right? We wish! The bumpiest parts of traveling are, well, when you actually travel. Thankfully there are a variety of ways to take some weight off your shoulders (and from your bag).

Tips for Traveling with Young Children

It’s no secret that traveling with babies and toddlers can be stressful. But family doesn’t always live close, and sometimes you all need a trip to the beach. Even if everything goes, well, tantrum-free, you still need to be responsible for a whole lot of extra luggage.

1. To make room for large items like potty-seats and stuffed animals, we recommend that you minimize your toiletries list by purchasing a travel kit. Our bestseller in this category is the Johnson & Johnson 10pc travel kit, which contains everything you need to keep your little one clean and giggling: shampoo, lotion, baby powder, brush, baby cleansing wipes, a guide, a circle key ring rattle, and even a rubber duck for bath time. With the kit, you’ll not only have all the items, but have them in one place. This will save you so much time when a fussing baby needs attention, stat.
   
   
2. Bring lots of snacks and a variety of activities. A bored child is far more likely to cause a scene than one who has a granola bar or new toy to play with.
   
   
3. Pack more clothes than you think you need. Accidents happen, and more often for toddlers! Thankfully, if you use A Convenience Kit, you’ll have room to pack them.
   
   
4. Book a departure that leaves in the early morning. These flights are statistically less likely to be delayed, and less people will be at the airport.

Staying Safe while Traveling

The pandemic has added a few things to our packing list—and not the kind you want to forget.

While some countries are lifting masking restrictions on flights and railroads, many still have regulations in place to keep you and your family safe. And even if masks aren’t enforced, it’s a good idea to use them in tight spaces just in case. Traveling means you’ll often be packed into dense spaces with other travelers, which may increase your exposure to viruses.

Thankfully, a few products can keep you protected:

Hand Sanitizer – For killing pesky germs on door handles, armrests, etc.
Hand Lotion – To help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier after using hand sanitizer

Disposable Face Masks – To decrease your chance of contracting a virus by protecting the nose and mouth

While these products may be readily available in most pharmacies, many of them are full-sized bottles or come with marked up price tags. To keep the most bang out of your buck and ensure you and your family are protected, the Stay Safe Germ Protection Kit is your best bet.

The kit contains the essential items listed above as well as a Kleenex Tissue Pack and Scope Mouthwash. (That’s to keep your fellow travelers safe…from bad breath.)

PRO TIPS: Masks that are completely intact and not torn in any way can be worn for three days. After that it’s best to discard it for another. Try to remember to use hand sanitizer every time you or your children touch a shared surface. Maintain a distance of 6ft from other travelers as often as possible. And if you can’t, ensure your mask is properly placed on your face.

Step 6: Enjoy Your Stress-Free Trip!

There you have it. A complete, comprehensive guide to having the smoothest travel experience possible. From the planning stages all the way to the day you put your key back into your door, Convenience Kits are going to save you a whole lot of stress and money. And the best part? They can even help you make a positivize difference at your destination.

Whether you’re flying solo, with family, or an entire sports team, everyone can benefit from having all their essentials in one convenient place for an affordable price. At the end of the day, traveling should be a positive experience. No matter where you’re going or who you’re going with, it’s a chance to see and learn new things about the world. Wouldn’t you rather be doing that than having to buy a new toothbrush in the middle of the night because you didn’t make a list?

Make your trip (and your life) easier. Pack light, pack smart, travel on.

Packing is vital when it comes to traveling. You might be a light packer but bringing all the right things that you will need during your trip is directly tied to your outstation stay experience. If you are traveling with your child, the importance of proper packing takes a whole new level. Packing all the stuff that your kid might need during the trip can be overwhelming.

In addition to that, bag space is always an issue. Carrying around heavy baggage is certainly uncomfortable. Also, if you are taking a flight, added luggage weight will unnecessarily add up to your travel expenses. So, you need to pack everything that your child will use on the trip while keeping strict space and weight limitations in mind.

To keep your child’s baggage light without missing a single thing for her daily care, kid’s travel kits are the ultimate solution.

Why should parents spend on kids’ travel kits?

Your child is precious, and you cannot compromise her needs when traveling. Carrying the full-size containers of your kid’s daily care bath items can be difficult as they will take up a lot of space and make your luggage heavy.

The travel kits for kids come in a compact design containing all the necessary bath time products in small, travel-size containers.

Let’s take a quick look at why you should spend on kid’s travel kits,

• Ensures complete care for your child while traveling – You can easily carry all the products that you need for your baby’s bath time and daily care. You need not pick only a few to keep your luggage light. 
• Takes minimum space – The kits carry small, travel-size containers arranged in a compact bag ensuring they take minimum space. You can put them even in your kid’s backpack if you wish.
• Adds less weight to your luggage – The travel kits come with smaller containers that hold sufficient product for travel but not excess. This saves you from carrying unnecessary weight. 
• Easy to pack – When packing in a hurry, the travel kit can be a great time saver. Just pick and toss it in your luggage and you have everything you will need for your baby’s bath time during travel. 
• Keeps all items in one place – Searching for small containers of baby care products in your luggage can be a hassle. The kits essentially come in a compact, see-through package with a proper closure so the items are never scattered in the luggage, and you can quickly find whatever you need at the moment. 
• TSA compliant - The baby travel kits are specifically designed according to the TSA guidelines to ensure that you can carry them on a flight without any check-in hassle. You can easily put them in your cabin luggage and use them during the flight as per need. 
• Saves money – The kits help to keep your luggage light, saving you from spending extra bucks for luggage at the airport. More to the point, the smaller containers and compact packaging minimize the risk of product wastage by spilling. They are also a great way to test a new product, before buying the full-size item.

Kid’s travel kits for resorts and hotels

Delivering an excellent customer experience is the key to success in the highly competitive hospitality industry. With the quickly increasing number of hotels and resorts in every tourist spot, the competition is steep. Adding a kids’ travel kit to the welcome freebies for your guests visiting with family can considerably add to the reputation of your establishment and enhance the overall guest experience.

To stand out in the crowd, offering your guests something special is important. The kids’ travel kits are extremely useful for every parent, and they make an essential item to keep their child happy during the stay. Happy kids mean happy parents, and happy guests mean more business for your establishment.

The kid’s travel kits come in a nice and compact packaging with a superior look and feel, ideal to give your resort a fine premium touch. You can even customize the gift with your business logo on the kit.   

Kid’s and baby’s travel kits

Kid’s travel kits include TSA-compliant travel-size bath products and toys from prominent brands packed in a reusable toiletry bag.  These are available in different sizes to suit different travel spans.

Also, the price varies depending on the number of contents in a kit. You can easily choose from the available options to meet your travel needs. Resorts and hotels can choose the kit size and content according to their freebie budget.

Traveling is extremely rewarding and exciting. However, if you want to travel in this pandemic situation, practice good hygiene first. It will give you a pleasant experience and protect you and the people around you.Our kits are easy-to-use and offer our clients the most comprehensive collection of hygiene products in a package, which is convenient to carry.  

Maintaining personal hygiene is important for many reasons– personal, social, physical well-being, and psychological. Now more than ever there’s an emphasis on staying not just hygienic, but sanitary.

Keeping a portable hygiene kit to help you incorporate daily habits offers the first line of defense against the spread of illnesses and viruses– not to mention looking and feeling your best. That being said, what does it mean exactly to practice good hygiene? Incorporating daily hygienic habits includes:

• Washing the body often. If possible, you should bathe every day. There may be times when this is not possible, for example, when people are out outdoors or traveling without access to a shower. In this case, try to use a sanitizing wipe.
• Brushing the teeth after each meal is the best way to prevent the spread of bacteria and avoid tooth decay. It’s important to clean teeth in the mornings and immediately before going to bed.
• Washing your hair at least once a week
• Wash hands with soap after going to the toilet and being in a bathroom
• Washing hands with soap before and after preparing and eating
• Washing hands regularly throughout the day. During normal daily activities, such as working and being outside, disease-causing germs may get on the hands and under our nails. If germs aren’t washed off throughout the day, they have a higher risk of spreading.

Options for Everyone

The customizable travel kits from Convenience Kits International offer a product selection to fulfill any hygiene need that may come up. One size doesn’t always fit all which is why with our customizable kits, you can choose exactly what you want to be tailored to your individual needs or the needs of a group. We offer men's, women's, and unisex products.

Our personal hygiene kits offer eight different types of products to choose from:

• Sanitizers: Choose between two different hand sanitizers.

Our travel sizes that come in the kits are the same products as the normal sizes offered at stores to the public.

Customers should expect each product to last and be ready when they need to use it, even if it’s not immediately.

Gritty Jobs and Hygiene Kits Belong Together

For America’s leading companies, taking good care of their employees was already an organizational priority prior to COVID-19. Providing America's dirtiest employees with the opportunity to look after their hygiene is just part of the job. Companies provide showers, locker rooms, and other facilities to make that possible. Many also provide affordable hygiene kits to their employees and we know this is so, because we are the ones that sell it to them. Construction crews are some of the most frequent purchasers of pre-packaged hygiene kits.

Just take this Men’s Sampler 10 Piece Hygiene Kit for example. For a handful of dollars, an organization can provide a comprehensive kit for every employee in every setting. They are compact and affordable enough where they can be provided at regular intervals such as once a week, once a month, or even just at the start of an extended shift.

Yes, individuals could purchase their own hygiene kits and many do just that. We sell them to single workers and entire organizations alike. However, for a company to do so represents a soft benefit and it communicates that the company cares for the employee. After all, who doesn’t like receiving free swag at work? Moreover, organizations who have found themselves on the wrong end of a mass spreader event, they enjoy being able to tell the world all they have tried to prevent it.  It’s a win/win for the company and the employee.

Taking Care of Your Hygiene is Taking Care of Your Family

For many of America’s essential workers, they looked forward each day or each shift to returning home to their family. However, many worried what they would be bringing home to their family. Whereas it is nice when an organization looks after your hygiene needs in a messy job, but at the end of the day it is up to you to protect your family. During COVID-19, we saw individuals in jobs across America order hygiene kits for the sole purpose of making sure they were clean when they hugged their wife and kids at the end of the day.

Yes, men and women work in dirty jobs and that’s why our Unisex 10 piece Hygiene Kit has been one of our best sellers. Dirt, grease, germs, and the grit of a dirty job doesn’t care what gender you are, it’s coming for you in a dirty job. Trucking, manufacturing, construction, metalworking, oil rigs and more all take a toll on your hygiene and all require an efficient and affordable solution. Once again, construction is booming in America right now despite COVID-19 and construction crews need these kits more than most right now.

America Can’t Survive Without The Jobs That Get Messy

There may come a day when robots and artificial intelligence take over most gritty and messy jobs, but that day is not today. America needs these gallant men and women who are willing to get down and dirty to keep America running. We have created these hygiene kits for all the messy jobs we know about and for all the jobs that are so dirty that we don’t even know they exist. If we have not created a hygiene kit that suits your particular industry, then by all means, you can create and build your own hygiene kit right here.

We salute America’s gritty and messy workers and we’ll always be here to be sure you head home clean and safe to your family. It’s likely that America will fight the COVID-19 pandemic well through 2021 and we’ll be here to support America’s workers through that fight as well. Check out of all our hygiene solutions and remember to work hard, get dirty, and then get clean. Here’s to America’s gritty workers as we couldn’t do it without you!

Creating a Measurable Social Impact

To be clear, we are not a nonprofit organization and we are a business that meets hygiene needs of all sorts from sea to shining sea. However, we recognized early on the power and potential of our hygiene kits during periods of natural disasters or large scale human service missions. We’ve supplied kits to nonprofits serving veterans, homeless, abused women, and families displaced by disaster.

With that in mind, we strive to make our kits that go out to nonprofits as affordable and efficient as possible. Certainly, we have the luxurious kits that business men and women use to navigate TSA and airports as well. However, we understand the nonprofit budget as well as the need to order in large numbers and with very little notice.

We can’t solve homelessness much as we might like to do so and we can’t restore power or shelter to a region struck by a hurricane. However, we can help ensure that those who can, have the ability to offer the gift of hygiene and self-care to those who need it most. It may not be the most glamorous role and we don’t expect to win any awards, but we will strive to take our business and make as strong a social impact as we possibly can on the world around us.

Keeping the World Clean in the Era of COVID-19

Now, the year 2020 has been a year like any other and I think we’ll all speak of where we were and how we lived in the era of COVID-19. Well, here at CKI, we’ll remember it as the year that personal hygiene became a national emergency. We did our best to adapt as quickly as we could and came with a series of Hygiene & Stay Safe Kits to tackle the problem. We had most of the products in stock, but we did have to make a run on disposable face masks.

We’ve always prided ourselves on offering convenient solutions, but we found ourselves in an era where quick affordable solutions could save lives. Organizations like various Meals on Wheels groups around the country had to continue to operate, regardless of the pandemic. Homeless shelters continued to see demand and small health clinics were busier than ever. Moreover, families and individuals still sought a little joy in life and the fact that they could still go out and stay clean and hygienic was a big deal.

Humans Helping Humans with Hygiene Kits

We did our best to tackle the challenges this year has brought and while there were many lessons learned, we felt like we made an impact. For all the solutions we thought of, we knew there were still many we couldn’t imagine. So we’ve offered nonprofits and other organizations the ability to build custom hygiene kits to meet their individual needs.

We hope 2020 has been kind to you, despite all its difficulties, but mostly we hope that you have been kind to your fellow human this year. You never know what the person next to you is struggling with and kindness can go a long way. If the gift of good hygiene can be a part of your kindness, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for reading and please stay safe and clean while being kind to those around you. 

Short-Term Rental Hygiene Kits

One of the first things that we think will change dramatically are people’s expectations of cleanliness when they enter a short-term rental such as an AirBNB accommodation. It is common for people to expect certain perks and those perks go a long way to creating repeat business. That’s why hotels have long included small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and soap. The only thing is that no one is going to want to use something that they think the previous tenants may have touched. That’s where our Men’s Sampler 9PC Assembled Travel Kit comes to the rescue.

This kit has everything a man needs to survive any travel on the road or in the air. Having this sealed and comprehensive kit waiting in the bathroom of the short-term rental is a pleasantly welcome perk. Moreover, the fact that they are certain that no one has used it before them and that they can take it with them on the plane home is an even bigger win. Now, if you really want to say that you know your customers, consider getting more detailed. If you know your guests are bringing a baby with them, consider having this Johnson & Johnson 10PC Baby Travel Bag waiting for them. That level of detail and customization is not easily forgotten and is sure to get you some great Yelp or Google reviews.

A Hygienic Future is a Bright Future

Next, let’s just consider all that our nation has to gain by being hygiene focused in the future. Let’s face it, COVID-19 wasn’t the only virus floating around the world and it certainly won’t be the last. We are set to be healthier as a nation and this is encouraging businesses to innovate at a rapid pace. Face masks and hand sanitizer are becoming as commonplace as the air around us. The bottom line is that the costs of being clean far outweigh the costs of not being so. It’s a smart business decision.

We keep that in mind when we price our products. Whether it was the kits we mentioned above or even a luxury kit like the Women’s 9PC Assembled Travel Sampler Kit, they are all well under $10 bucks each. Working these costs into a short-term or apartment rental is easy and when people come to expect such measures, they will start to ask questions when they don’t see them. The bottom line is that business as usual will no longer do for the post COViD-19 era and that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Customize Your Hygiene Solution

The rental and real estate industry will not be immune to these new business requirements and they would do well to start finding customized solutions to meet the needs of the new hygienic focused American consumer. Gone are the days of refillable shampoo bottles left in a rental. Prepackaged hygiene kits are a perk that rentals will appreciate and at some point, they may even expect it. That’s why we also offer the ability to customize your Hygiene Travel Kit Solution.

We’ve always been focused on hygiene and we are thrilled that the rest of America has jumped on board. We may not be shaking as many hands as we used to prior to the pandemic, but when we do, we are much more confident that those hands have been cleaned and sanitized. So please do not forget to check out the rest of our hygiene solutions and if you have any questions, never hesitate to give us a call. Americans will be living their most hygienic life ever in the post COVID-19 era and plan to be there side-by-side with them providing the best solutions along the way.  

Born for the Open Road and Good Hygiene

The great American road trip is classic Americana at it’s finest. Granted, things have gotten a little easier over the decades. Smartphones and navigation apps have replaced paper maps, video games have replaced car games, and a DVD player in every minivan has replaced siblings punching each other in the back seat. Here at Convenience Kits International, we’ve sought to replace the hassle of making sure you’ve got every hygiene product packed for the long road trip. This Women’s Premium 15 Piece Assembled Travel Kit is the perfect example.

There is no need for moms to make a list and check it twice while scrambling to get the family packed for the trip. Just grab the comprehensive hygiene kit and go. You see, once you leave the safety of home, you are now at the mercy of the open road. That’s dirty gas station bathrooms, less than stellar hotel rooms, and even the unexpected overnight delays. Having everything you need and then some in one kit can be a life saver. Moreover, as you can see with this Black Zippered Travel Bag, all of our kits are TSA compliant should air travel be part of the trip.

COVID-19 Has Changed Travel for the Near Future

All of the hygiene solutions we offered prior to COVID-19 were designed to make travel more convenient. Little did we know that those same solutions would now emerge as essential products to keep you and your family safe. COVID-19 has proven to be a resilient virus that can be spread through asymptomatic carriers. That means the person that uses the gas station bathroom before your or even the TSA agent checking your bags at the airport. While we would never recommend that you suspend your travels and live in fear, we do encourage you to live free and prepared.

That was the genesis behind our Stay Safe Germ Protection Kit. In this kit, you’ve got a facemask, hand sanitizer, kleenex, mouthwash, and healing cream to nourish your hands after you’ve washed them for the 1,000th time that day.  The simple truth is that you can’t rely on every road trip gas station to have toilet paper, much less hand sanitizer or soap.

Stay Clean and Stay Safe

Apart from adding toilet paper companies to your stock portfolio, there is not much for the average citizen to look back on with regret in the run up to this pandemic. Fortunately, for better or worse, this was a crisis that was right up our alley. We always prioritized family hygiene. It was at the heart of our mission to make it easy and affordable. So all we needed to do was make a slight adaptation to the emerging science. That was the genesis behind our Stay Safe Germ Protection Kit.

Personal hygiene products became hard to come by and to find them all together in one place seemed like the best we could offer to the average citizen. So we packaged together hand sanitizer, kleenex, and a disposable face mask with FDA approved ear loops all in one affordable package. For good measure, we threw in a bottle of scope to keep the mouth fresh and a tube of hand moisturizer because let’s face it, washing your hands 30 times a day takes a toll. 

Moreover, these are still in a TSA compliant bag. We know that air travel has been reduced to a minimum, but those out there on the front lines of the economy must still travel. This is designed to keep you safe, wherever you may go, with the same affordability and convenience you have come to love. This is one of our most popular products right now. While the business side of us enjoys that reality, the human side that lets us know that we are doing our part to keep our nation clean and safe is what warms our heart. It’s not a game changer that will end this virus, but it's what we can do. We sincerely hope that it helps.

Keeping the Whole Community Safe

Your first obligation is certainly to your family, but we have to remember that we are all in this together. Your neighbor’s hygiene matters to you and your family. The stranger’s hygiene matters to you while shopping in the same store. The marginalized and downtrodden person on the street, their hygiene matters to you as well. So we’ve got a full array of Hygiene and Stay Safe Kits to choose from. Find what matters most to you and those around you. You’ll also  notice that if it is just the Disposable Face Masks that you need, we’ve got those individually packaged in groups of ten for you and your family.

While we are trying to keep you and your family safe, please keep in mind that we still offer our entire array of products to keep you clean and healthy. Moreover, we still have our bulk ordering options available for companies looking to keep their employees safe or even social outreach and other ventures where you are caring for your fellow human. None of us may truly know what the new normal will look like, but we here at Convenience Kits International have been inspired by the great amount of good we are seeing. Perhaps we shouldn’t mourn too much for the old and simply embrace the hope and possibility of the future. Stay safe America and let’s all do our part to stay clean and keep our country safe.

Construction Industry Hygiene Solutions

For many dirty jobs, we can honestly say that these are the men and women who built America. For those in the construction industry, we can literally say that you are the men and women who build America. We simply wouldn’t be the same without you. While women comprise approximately half of the American workforce, they only comprise about 9% of the construction industry. Yet, they still both deserve to be fresh and clean at the end of a long shift.

So we have an array of unisex hygiene kits from which to choose. Our kits come fully loaded with everything you need to freshen up. That’s shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, soap, shaving kits and more. They all come in a convenient travel sized bag and in sizes that make them fully TSA compliant if air travel is required. Most importantly, they come in prices that make them easy to dispose of and simply pick up another for your next work trip.

So if you find yourself knee deep in the soil laying a foundation, then you’ll have what you need to clean up before dinner. Should you find yourself sky high on rebar in the hot Arizona summer, you’ll have the necessary shampoo and soap to shower up and head home to the wife smelling like new. If the demands should take you thousands of miles away to work on a construction project, you’ll also have what you need to make it back through airport security and home with the family.

Staying Fresh on the Great American Highway

Another industry that we’ve seen who finds our travel kits the perfect hygiene solution is the freight industry. Everyone in America loves to go to the store and find whatever their heart desires, but not too many Americans stop to think about how it got there. Truck drivers and the freight industry keep American business moving. Doing so requires long hours on the road and sometimes weeks away from the family. They too find use in our convenient hygiene travel kit solutions.

In fact, it would be a great idea for organizations in the industry to simply order the hygiene kits in bulk and send them out as practical employee gifts. Truck drivers are often forced to fend for themselves at travel stop gas stations and wait in line for a chance to hit the crowded showers. Whether you are a man or woman, we’ve got everything your truck driver will need to stay fresh and clean on the road. So why not do your workers a solid and gift them the gift of hygiene.

A Solution for Every Dirty Job

Those are just two quick examples of dirty jobs that need a modern and innovative hygiene kit solution to stay fresh and clean. However, the truth of the matter is that we can accomodate any job and any industry with our Custom Built Hygiene Kit Solutions. You get to pick the bag and the number items you want. Then, simply run through the various options of shampoos, conditioners, oral hygiene, shaving, deodorant, or other accessories. You can still order them in bulk and they are all still TSA compliant.

So whether you are one of the great American truck drivers, construction workers, or dirty job laborers, you don’t have to stay dirty. America wouldn’t be the same without and we salute everything that you do. If we don’t have what you are looking for, then simply reach out to us and we’ll work as hard as you do to come up with a solution. Thank you for what you do for our great country and don’t forget to check out the full range of our hygiene travel kit solutions at Convenience Kits International. Remember to Pack Light. Pack Smart. Travel On.

We get back into our routines and often tell ourselves we’re too busy to achieve the things we once resolved we’d do.  For many of us, this means we get into a habit of hibernating through the colder weather and shorter days. Whether you’ve already been an avid traveler or plan to become one in the decade to come, the truth is that there’s no time like the present to take that trip or go on that journey.

It doesn’t matter what kind of traveler you are – from solo travelers to families of 5, we all can relate to that feeling of never having enough time. No matter where you choose to travel this winter, check out our 6 tips for maximizing your most precious resource to give yourself more time for what matters.

1) Use packing cubes

Not only do these help you pack less and keep your clothes wrinkle free, but they also make the packing/unpacking process a breeze. If you get a few cubes in different sizes, your suitcase can stay organized and you’ll know where everything is if you group your things by category.

2) Keep connected

While we hate to admit it, we’re addicted to our devices. They really do make our lives a

whole lot easier, especially when we’re traveling. From hand held computers to music players – the amount of time we spend staring at and using these screens means they tend to run out of juice rather fast, and that happens even quicker when we’re on-the-go using them to take lots of pictures or navigate our way around an unfamiliar city. Why not treat yourself to a portable charger? These days they can be rather affordable.

3) Save the planet one page at a time

Check amazon for “Reusable notebooks” – there’s a few brands that offer a kindle-like screen that you can write directly on, much like a real notebook. But once you’re done, the page will upload directly to Google Docs and reset itself. It’s way better for the environment and much faster than manually typing up your handwritten notes!

4) Bring some earplugs

Lots of long-haul flights offer a free pair, but if you purchase your own, you’ll get a higher quality option for tuning out the world to catch some z’s. Earplugs can help you sleep in transit, snoozing on long bus rides or planes. Suddenly, when you’re able to sleep more soundly, a 16-hour plane ride doesn’t feel so long. And if you’re traveling on a budget taking overnight trains or busses, you save money on a night at a hostel or hotel, but usually compromise your sleep in exchange for the value.

5) Don’t waste time choosing toiletries

Convenience kits are fast, on-the-go toiletry options that pack light. Throw one in a weekend duffel bag and hop on the train or chuck it in your carry-on suitcase. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razors – don’t worry about running through the check-list of toiletries in your head. It’s all in there. You don’t have to worry about getting all the items separately or worse, forgetting something. Plus, they’re nearly weightless and excellent options for a short-term adventure.

6) Charge your devices faster

In addition to our phones, we’re often juggling a whole laundry list of tech goodies with us. From wireless headphones to laptops, you’re bound to need a few charged devices. Sometimes when you’re on the go (a la in your car or an airport), you can only find one outlet…if you’re lucky. If you buy a multi-prong adaptor, it’ll let you charge several things at once, meaning you don’t have to wait around as long and can get back to doing the things you enjoy.

These 6 tips will hopefully help you kickstart a more efficient adventure. But while you look for travel gadgets and time hacking tips, don’t lose sight of the fact that your time off is a moment to bask in the present. It’s a time to enjoy the company of those around you, the rush of exploring unfamiliar territory right in front of you, and expand your horizons with enriching experiences. Sometimes, especially with all this technology at our fingertips, it’s easy to get lost in a transactional mindset – we have to “do” this country or tick this place off our bucket list. 

Proper Hygiene begins with Proper Planning

Before you hit the road, the average person goes through a long mental checklist to assess whether they have packed everything. From underwear and socks to toothbrushes and deodorant, the full burden of this task often falls to mom. She is the one making a list and checking it twice more often than not, and she needs a break. That’s where the ready-to-go Convenient Travel Kit comes in to save mom’s across this nation.

With one click, the holiday travel planner can pick up comprehensive and TSA compliant hygiene kits for the whole family. It takes all the work out of the packing process and replaces it with convenience and low cost solutions. Just take this Man on the Go Premium Travel Bag as an example. It comes with 10 hygiene essentials that will cover all the needs Dad or your teenage son on the trip. Don’t waste time hassling them for assurances that they remembered everything. Just order one for the trip and the cost is low enough that they can even simply toss the kit after the trip if they so choose.

The High Price of Horrible Hygiene

When it comes to travelling, there is actually a high price to pay for forgetting hygiene essentials and that extends far beyond simply being stuck in a car with stinky teenager. If you have ever forgotten a hygiene essential while on the road, you know you are going to pay a high price at the gift shop or airport store to replace it. Let’s face it, the whole reason shops like that can gouge you for the item is that they know people will forget and they will pay anything to replace the hygiene essential.

Meanwhile, with a little planning you can replace your entire hygiene kit for nearly the same amount as an overpriced mini-stick of deodorant at the hotel gift shop. In fact, many simply skip the packing process and order kits to be delivered at their final destination just in case. The fact that all of these kits come TSA compliant packaging is just the icing on the cake. That’s why families are turning to hygiene kits this holiday season and you would do well to consider the same.

In Conclusion

Holiday travels are an American tradition and Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without an overcrowded house full of relatives. With the proper hygiene essentials in place, you can love your family rather than smell them. If any of our pre-packaged kits do not work for you, then we even offer you the opportunity to customize your hygiene solution to meet your individual needs. The days of paying for overpriced hygiene essentials or sorting through endless packing lists are over. So do not forget to check out the full array of our hygiene solutions and have a happy and healthy holiday hygiene experience.
