About Shop Holiday Extras
When we select products for the Holiday Extras shop, we focus on one simple goal: helping travellers find useful, reliable essentials that make holidays easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.
Every product we feature is chosen with real travel situations in mind — from packing and flying to beach days, city exploring, and long journeys. Our range brings together practical travel gear, sun and skincare, comfort items, accessories, and useful extras that travellers genuinely need.
Sustainability is one of the factors we consider alongside quality, usefulness, and value.
We prioritise products that demonstrate one or more of the following:
- Use of more responsible or recycled materials
- Reusable or longer-lasting design
- Reduced, recyclable, or plastic-free packaging
- Products designed to replace disposable travel items
Not every product will meet all of these criteria, and we don’t claim that any product is impact-free. Where a product performs well on sustainability in one area but less so in another, we aim to be thoughtful about the overall balance.
Travel-first product selection
Our shop is built around the way people actually travel. Rather than simply listing products by type, we organise our range around real travel moments and trip types — such as beach holidays, city breaks, flights, and longer adventures. This helps customers quickly find what they need whether they are packing before a trip, travelling, or arriving at their destination.
This means we prioritise products that are:
- Lightweight and easy to pack
- Useful in warm climates or outdoor environments
- Carry-on friendly or travel-size
- Durable enough for repeat travel
- Designed to make travel simpler or more comfortable
Working with trusted brands and suppliers
The products we sell are sourced from a range of third-party brands and specialist suppliers. This allows us to offer a broad selection of travel essentials without limiting customers to a single manufacturer or product style.
Because these products are supplied by different brands, sustainability practices, materials, and packaging standards can vary. Where possible, we rely on supplier information, recognised certifications, and clear product specifications to help inform our decisions.
We also aim to work with brands that demonstrate thoughtful product design, responsible materials, or innovation in travel-friendly products.
A marketplace approach
Our shop operates using a supplier marketplace model. This allows specialist brands to supply products directly, helping us expand the range while maintaining quality and relevance for travellers.
It also means that fulfilment and returns processes may vary depending on the supplier providing the product. When needed, our customer support team helps customers coordinate with the relevant supplier to ensure any issues are resolved quickly.
A range that evolves with travel
Travel habits, materials, and product design continue to evolve, and so will our product range. As better materials, packaging solutions, and sustainability standards become available, we will continue reviewing our range and raising the bar where possible.
Our goal is simple: to make it easier for customers to find useful holiday essentials that travel well, perform well, and help make every trip a little smoother.
