Miniso Travel Finds at SM City Marikina

7/13/18


Do you love to travel? I do. A lot. But I guess I will never be good at packing light. Whether it's an overnight staycation or a trip somewhere far,  I've got non-negotiable travel essentials that I always bring with me no matter where I go. 

I was at the newly-opened Miniso branch in SM City Marikina and I can't help but shop. If you are planning a trip any time soon, here are some of my travel finds at Miniso.



Travel Pillow

Unless you are travelling first class, sleeping comfortably during a trip is a challenge. I usually travel very early in the morning and I make up for lost sleep while in transit. A travel pillow keeps my head in place and also serves as an additional pillow I could cuddle.


Miniso has a section filled with cute and cuddly pillows the only problem you'll have is deciding which one to bring as your travel sleeping companion.



Headset or earphones 

I download Netflix series to keep me entertained during long trips. I'm into K-drama recently (a confessed late bloomer) and even though I don't understand what the characters were saying, I want to hear their voices while reading the subtitle. 


Noise-cancelling headphones also makes travelling bearable should there be passengers talking loudly or a toddler having tantrums. 



Sunglasses

Need to hide those puffy eyes or a shield from the sun's bright rays? You should never leave the house without a pair of sunglasses in your bag. Plus, it's a perfect accessory for your #OOTD.


Travel-size Toiletries

I used to bring all my full size toiletries whenever I travel and they weigh more than a kilo! Good thing Miniso has leak-proof containers for my beauty stuff.


Cosmetic / Storage Bag

Of course, you need a reliable bag (my husband refers to it as "your kikay kit" with a teasing tone) to store all those mini bottles of toiletries. I like the one that I can hang in the bathroom.



Flannel Blanket

Have you ever experienced feeling so cold because the hotel did not provide a good blanket? I always bring my own blanket. It somehow makes me feel secure. A flannel blanket is light weight and the soft texture is really comforting. 



Luggage

I've got 6 different sizes of luggage at home. The most used is the smallest since I'm fond of hotel staycations in the city. I was amazed when I saw the MINIGO suitcase. It is lightweight and an affordable version of the one I own.

So, where do you plan to go? How about travelling to Miniso at SM City Marikina for starters?

PS. I need a hat.
