With the holiday season underway, several people are taking off to hotter or cooler climes for a break. But before you take off, there’s that all-important task of packing.

To make things simpler for people, who are miserable at packing light, here are a few tips on how to pack smart and easy for your next trip.

* It is always advisable to keep small travel-sized shampoos, deodorants, shower gel, toothpaste et al. Make sure that you seal all the bottles of your toiletries. Unscrew the cap, place a piece of cling wrap on top and screw the cap back on to avoid any kind of leakage.
