Sharing why SCOUT Bags are perfect for holiday weekend trips and you can get 20% off at SCOUT’s website with the code SCOUT-MR.

My planters (aka cream cans) are decked out for the holidays and I’ve started decorating my living room! I wanted to get everything done a little earlier this year, as I’m headed on my first official “vacation” in years! I’ve been on trips to Seattle, Texas and Chicago, but I haven’t actually spent more than a few days away. Over Thanksgiving, my mom and aunt planned a family vacation to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and the Grand Canyon in January. I’m so excited! We took a trip to multiple national parks when I was about 10, so it’s been awhile since I’ve seen any similar outdoor sites.

We’ll be doing a lot of hiking, sight seeing, and of course, driving, so I’ll want to pack kind of light. I have to be mindful of what’s really going to fit in my dad’s truck with four of us – my younger brother is going as well! I’ve shared how much I loved a bag from SCOUT Bags before in this post this past spring (and gifting with their reusable bags here too), and I’ve found the perfect size tote to take on this trip!

I’m carrying the Ivy Weekender Bag. The print is part of SCOUT’s holiday collection, but I definitely think it’s fitting year-round. I truly only share things with you that I love, so I hopped on the phone with SCOUT and learned more about their value proposition – and it’s worth sharing!

Each season, you’re going to see 20-30 new patterns on their bags (shop all of them here). They’re limited and exclusive – and only available until they sell out! So, you’re going to find unique prints that you love. Of course, they have half a dozen classic patterns too, but I love that they stay on-trend seasonally!

SCOUT Bags has provided an exclusive code to MP readers for 20% off if you use: SCOUT-MR

The code is good on all items – not just the weekender! I also love this wine bag (perfect for gifts), the Plus 1 (I have it in pink), and this metallic clutch.

Are you traveling anywhere for the holidays? I’d love to hear your packing tips for holiday weekend trips. Also if they have to do with packing for hikes… A first for me!

This bag was gifted by SCOUT Bags, but all opinions are my own.
