With staycations being the best form of escapade now that travel isn’t encouraged, why not make the experience even more memorable by packing in some self-care treats? Organising an overnight bag might not be as thrilling as stuffing your luggage full for a week-long vacation, but here are some essentials that will make your stay extra comfortable and luxurious—from pampering beauty products to comfortable loungewear you won’t want to get out of.
