Packing for a Surprise Weekend Getaway at a Romantic Hotel in Chicago

Now that you’ve planned that surprise weekend getaway in Chicago for your significant other, it's time to start thinking about what you're going to pack for them. As a boyfriend or husband it can be daunting to try and pack your girlfriend or wife’s bags and as a girlfriend or wife it can be hard to know exactly what your man will need. Check out these tips below to help guide you in packing your significant other’s bags so to keep your trip to a romantic hotel in Chicago a surprise.

For him:

While men typically don’t require as many grooming products as women, it all depends on your man. Some generic toiletries and clothing they may require include:

Clothing for various activities

Pajamas

Shoes

Toothbrush

Razor

Floss

Contacts, glasses and contact solution

Aftershave or cologne

Medication

Depending on how much room you have, you may want to include some extra effects to make the trip more enjoyable for your man. Electronics of any sort are fair game. While you may be staying in a romantic hotel in Chicago and would prefer that your sweetheart be free from any distractions, it can be difficult to completely detach from the real world so headphones, cellular phones, computers and chargers should be considered. Additionally, if your boyfriend or husband is a health nut, don’t forget to include workout clothes and shoes with his bags, as he’ll most likely want to keep up his routine. Lastly, include something you husband or boyfriend can read during the trip to your Chicago whirlpool suite like a book. This way, you both can relax while sipping coffee or tea in your romantic hotel in Chicago.

For her:

Women tend to need more toiletries than men due to makeup, hair products and other grooming products. With that said, there are many things women use, but can live without so don’t stress out too much about forgetting something. Here are a few things that most women require:

Clothing for various activities

Shoes

Contacts, glasses and contact solution

Medication

Makeup

Toothbrush

Razor

Hair styling tools, such as a curling iron

Pajamas

Jewelry

Perfume

Coincidently, most of the things on this list are things men need too. However, if you have time and there’s room in your bags, you can throw in some additional items such as specialty hair products, lotion, cellphones and chargers and any other technology that your wife or girlfriend uses.

Once the bags are packed, your romantic Chicago getaway can begin. Don’t stress out too much about packing, as the most important part of the trip is the fact that you’re spending time together.
