Top 5 Essentials to Pack for Your Easter Getaway

Planning an Easter escape? Whether you’re heading to the coast, the bush, or just enjoying a road trip to visit family and friends, packing smart can make your holiday smoother and far more enjoyable. To help you make the most of your time off, we’ve pulled together a list of the top five must-haves to bring along on your Easter getaway.

1. Reusable Water Bottle + Electrolytes Hydration is key—especially if you’re on the go, spending time outdoors, or indulging in a bit of celebratory chocolate and wine. A good-quality reusable water bottle is a no-brainer, but pairing it with sachets of sugar-free electrolytes (like ReVitalise Daily) takes your hydration to the next level. Perfect for road trips, hikes, or recovering after a big Easter lunch, electrolytes help you stay energised and refreshed.

Travelling with kids? We’ve got you covered too. Our ReVitalise Kids Electrolytes are specially formulated for little ones—sugar-free, caffeine-free, and gentle on tummies. A great way to keep them hydrated while on the move or after a busy day of Easter egg hunts and play.

2. Lightweight Layers Autumn weather can be unpredictable, so pack a few light layers that are easy to take on and off as the temperature changes. A breathable hoodie, windbreaker, or light knit jumper can be a lifesaver during chilly mornings and warmer afternoons. Comfort is key when you’re away from home, and layers give you flexibility no matter where your Easter plans take you.

3. Snacks & Picnic Supplies Easter is all about good food and relaxed moments, so bring along a stash of snacks and a picnic rug. Think fresh fruit, trail mix, crackers, and something sweet. Having snacks on hand makes car travel more enjoyable and gives you flexibility to stop and eat wherever you are—whether it’s a scenic lookout or a quiet park. A reusable picnic set or some compostable plates and cups are a handy bonus too.

4. Sun Protection Even in autumn, Aussie sun can be harsh. Don’t forget the SPF! Sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and even a portable shade tent if you’re heading to the beach or a festival. Packing a moisturiser with SPF is a great two-in-one option for daily use. It’s all about protecting your skin while making the most of the last warm rays of the season.

5. A Good Book or Offline Entertainment A little downtime is what holidays are made for. Whether you're camping, glamping, or unwinding in a holiday home, packing a book you've been meaning to read or a deck of cards can make all the difference. Not everywhere has reliable reception, so having offline entertainment keeps things relaxed, especially in the evenings.

Bonus Tip: Be Prepared for Anything It’s always smart to pack a basic first-aid kit, a phone charger, and a backup power bank. Add in your favourite lip balm, insect repellent, and a small bag for dirty clothes or wet swimmers—and you’ll be ready for just about anything.

Easter holidays are all about enjoying the slower pace and reconnecting with the people and places that matter most. With just a few thoughtful essentials, you’ll set yourself up for a smooth and stress-free getaway. So pack light, hydrate well, and have a fantastic Easter adventure!
