19 Spring Break Survival Must-Haves

We know spring break couldn’t come any sooner and you’ve been dreaming about fun-filled days in the sun. But before you hit the road, set sail, or take flight to your spring break destinations, make sure you are prepared with this complete checklist of items to ensure a successful, stress-free trip. From hair care essentials to electronic accessories, you can find it all with Cash Back at Rakuten and maybe even cut costs with a promo code or two.

1. Dry shampoo – A MUST when you get too busy sightseeing and partying to shower everyday
2. Sunblock
3. Lip balm with SPF – Because sun-burned lips are no bueno
4. Sleep mask – Especially good for camping when you don’t feel like waking up with the sun
5. Face cleansing wipes
6. Ear plugs – For spring breakers headed to concerts. Also, your crew may rise earlier or pass out later than you, so pack a pair to keep you in dreamland.
7. Folding water bottle – Easily conserves room in your bag for light packing
8. Water shoes – Beach hikes get treacherous.
9. Mobile charger
10. Fanny pack – For hands-free partying
11. Electronic key finder – Because things get misplaced in the middle of shenanigans
12. Ibuprofen
13. Sun hat
14. Mini flashlight – Outdoor evening concerts only become a situation when it’s time to use the port-o-potty.
15. 2 swim suits – Because there’s nothing worse than having to slip into a damp suit. Brrr!
16. Cheap sunglasses – You are going to lose them. Just make peace with it now.
17. Snacks
18. Magazines/books – Kick it old school with paper and save the juice on your phone.
19. Small card games – They take up little space and are great for those one or two chill evenings you may need to recoup.
