Pack These 10 Essentials If You’re Going Away This Memorial Day Weekend

Ready to get back out there in the world!? But wait, do you remember how to pack? 
 
Nothing worse than forgetting to pack that one crucial item. Per usual, the team at NIGHT has your back. Whether you’re headed to the beach or lake with friends or you're having a staycation at the pool with a backyard barbeque, this list has you covered. No matter your destination, it is vacation after all, so you should be relaxing! We’re sharing not only our MDW essentials, but also some of our favorite brands.

 

1. Sunglasses - DUH

When soaking up that sun, sunglasses are a must have. If you want a pair that blocks the sun while also looking stylish, Ray Ban’s Round Metal Sunglasses or Quay’s Black Farrah Round Frame Sunglasses are the way to go. These retro glasses provide a timeless look that can be worn not just this Memorial Day Weekend, but every summer. 

2. Seltzers...because what’s a summer party without White Claw?

What Memorial Day Weekend would be complete without a cold, refreshing seltzer in your hand? Start the holiday weekend right by trying a Pineapple High Noon or the new White Claw Surge. These drinks are packaged in cans that are easy to transport and carry in a bag.

3. Face Mask - safety first!

The mask rules are confusing - enough said. One thing we do know- wearing a mask mitigates the risk of contracting any viruses. And bonus - masks can also look chic and stylish if it is a NIGHT Silk Face Mask. This 100% Mulberry Silk face mask is ideal for skincare as it’s hypoallergenic, nonabsorbent, and keeps skin hydrated. 

4. Sunscreen - your skin will thank you 

No matter how badly you want to get that golden tan, take the extra five minutes to put on sunscreen. Preventing a painful, peeling sunburn is easy with Coola’s Classic Organic Sunscreen Stick. The portable stick of sunscreen provides a water-resistance base, perfect for this weekend’s activities. 

5. Scrunchies - but BETTER scrunchies

Whether you want your hair up or down, NIGHT’s Thin Silk Scrunchies are perfect. You can slide the scrunchies on your wrist to compliment your bracelets, providing a stylish and comfortable look, while always being prepared for that summer heat. Or, you can use these scrunchies to easily hold your hair in place on a hot, summer afternoon without causing hair damage, breakage, or those ugly creases caused by traditional hair ties. 

6. Koozie - you didn’t make the trek for a warm beverage

After hours in the blazing heat, no one wants to reach into their bag to find a warm water or a flat seltzer. Keep your beer, seltzer, or water cold this weekend with a BrüMate Hopsular Slim Can Cooler. The science-based technology guarantees you a refreshing beverage that fits into any cup holder. 

7. Travel Pillow- gotta catch the Zzz’s whenever you can

If you’re traveling this weekend, an easily carried travel pillow is crucial to get beauty sleep on the go. NIGHT’s Memory Foam Travel Pillow with Silk Pillowcase is middle seat approved for extreme support and comfort.

8. Beach Bag - chic AND functional is how we roll

Despite your destination, you need a neoprene bag- they’re all the rage this season! Try Qogir Neoprene Multipurpose Beach Bag. At only $40, this bag can fit all your weekend essentials including drinks, books, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Bonus: its neoprene material makes it easy to clean!
