Tips for packing to go home for Tet

As another year draws to a close and Tet comes around again, everyone is busy shopping and preparing to make the most of the holiday season with their loved ones. Heading home for Tet usually means bringing quite a lot of belongings — mostly clothing. And when you return after the holiday, you will almost certainly come back with even more. So how do you pack smartly and efficiently? Check out these simple yet highly effective packing tips!

1. Choose the Right Luggage Size

Spring weather can still be quite cold, meaning winter clothing takes up significantly more space than summer wear. For short trips of 1–3 days, a 20-inch suitcase is ideal — accommodating up to 15kg for one person.

If you back to your home from 5 – 7 days, choose luggage size 24 – 28 inches because winter clothes take up a lot of space. A 24-inch model holds up to 25kg, while a 28-inch model can carry up to 35kg — giving you plenty of room for bulkier winter clothing.

For a small family of around 3, consider one 28-inch suitcase for the whole family, or a 24-inch for the parents paired with a children’s suitcase. If you’d rather avoid the hassle of carrying gifts, an extra duffel bag is a convenient and flexible solution.

2. Choose Luggage with convenient features

2.1. Expandable Capacity

When you travel, you will almost always pick up “a few little gifts.” If your suitcase is already full, you’d normally have to carry the extras in a separate bag. To get ahead of this, Hung Phat has designed an expandable zipper compartment that lets you pack more neatly inside your suitcase — no extra bags needed.

2.2. Convenient Side Hook

A convenient side hook lets you hang a bag on the outside of your suitcase — no more carrying it by hand. Choose a suitcase with a built-in side hook, give your arms a well-deserved rest, and simply roll your way through every journey with ease!

2.3. Foldable Cup Holder

No more opening and closing your suitcase every time you need a drink. Choose a suitcase with a built-in foldable cup holder — keep your cup or water bottle within easy reach and move around freely without the hassle of carrying it in your hand!

A quick-access laptop compartment is essential for those who need to keep working on the go. It keeps your laptop fully protected at all times while allowing instant access whenever you need it — so work never has to wait, no matter where the journey takes you

2.6. Choose the Right Luggage Material

If you are not a year-round travel enthusiast and simply need a reliable suitcase with essential features at an accessible price point, ABS hard-shell luggage is the most suitable choice for your needs. ABS offers solid durability and particularly strong scratch resistance — making it a smart and practical option.
For those looking to invest in a long-term travel companion built for frequent use, PC or PP hard-shell luggage is the way to go. Both materials offer comparable durability and up to 99% impact resistance — purpose-built for travelers who are always on the move.

3. Pack Smartly and Efficiently

Packing and organizing your belongings is a crucial step, as it determines the overall size and dimensions of the luggage you need to bring. To pack efficiently and fit more items, you should know how to arrange your suitcase properly and apply smart packing tips to maximize space and make room for as many belongings as possible.

How you pack directly determines the size and weight of the luggage you need. To maximize space and keep everything neat and organized, follow these golden packing rules for your Tết journey home:

• Place heavier items at the bottom, lighter items on top.
• Pack your most important items first.
• Wrap fragile items carefully and place them in the center of the suitcase.
• Fill every gap with smaller items to make the most of available space.

Beside, you can refer some tip here:

• Remove unnecessary tags and packaging before packing.
  
• Wrap fragile items in clothing for added protection.
  
• Tuck small items inside larger ones wherever possible.
  
• Roll clothing to save space — use rubber bands to keep rolls from coming undone. Fold thicker items like jeans and jackets, and place rolled clothing at the bottom with folded items on top.
  
• Seal cosmetics and any liquid products tightly at the cap to prevent leaks.
  
• Use travel-sized containers with just enough product to last the length of your trip.
