Claire advises looking for packing cubes that can compress in size to save space – but first check how wide they open up, so you can fill them to capacity. Another great alternative choice if you want to test the water for packing cubes is the Shacke Pak cubes set .

There is an Osprey logo on the top right and a small tab featuring the word “Osprey” on the side of each cube. With the one full-sized cube and the two half-cubes fully packed and compressed, I still have ample room left for my toiletry bag and other miscellaneous items.

Packing cubes fit inside suitcases like pieces of a puzzle and save space while travelling - but with so many on the market, which is best? They are prone to moving around inside your bag, which can be inconvenient when you’ve arranged them to lay in a certain way. The whole range allows you to pack items more efficiently, stay organised and make the whole travel luggage experience an easier and more enjoyable one. If seeing the contents of your cube is a priority, you’ll love this offering from Exped – the only opaque bit is the zipper.

To save on space, only bring full outfits for each day or activity, so you won’t bring anything you won’t actually wear. We were also smitten with the interior pocket, which we found useful for storing everything from items of jewellery to paperwork. It’s a little like Doctor Who’s Tardis - humble looking on the outside with a wealth of space, compartments and tools on the inside.

I actually found it to be quite a good wash bag as well, and the handle on top can be carabiner clipped to the outside of a bag. These stylish packing cubes are available in a huge range of colours and designs, including striped, mosaic and strawberry prints, which little ones are sure to love. Personally, I don’t feel the need to have a separate compartment in my packing cubes for my dirty clothes — I just put them in the mesh pocket on the upper flap of my backpack and that does the job for me.
