‘Today’ star Jill Martin created the prettiest packing cubes for summer travel — save over 40%

If you're not yet using packing cubes for travel, may I make a strong recommendation? It's the time to start. I'm constantly on the go, and packing cubes have made it easy for me to organize my suitcases, which creates instant peace of mind when I'm traveling. And if they look great, all the better. Right now, QVC is running an amazing deal on some of the prettiest packing cubes I've come across: a set by BumbleBella by Jill Martin for $37 (was $64). That's 42% off! Leave it to an Emmy award-winning fashion and lifestyle superstar to design compression packing cubes that not only keep everything contained and save space in your luggage but are also so cute that they complement your actual wardrobe.

Martin, the host of the popular Steals and Deals shopping segment on 'Today" is a pro when it comes to smart, stylish travel solutions. That's why you'll find that her BumbleBella by Jill Martin Four-Piece Hanging Packing Cubes & Organizer Set has so many cool features that marry form and function. First of all, the fabric itself is fully water-repellent and antimicrobial, so toiletry explosions and damp conditions won't touch the clothes inside.

Secondly, the BumbleBella by Jill Martin packing cubes have a built-in compression design. But drop the vacuum cleaner: this modern compression system involves a specially designed zipper that lets you squish your carefully folded clothes and zip them up tightly to lose about three inches of height without wrinkling the contents inside. Trust me, this kind of technology is a space-saving game-changer, which you'll appreciate when it's time to stock up on souvenirs. Watch a video of the packing cubes in action here.

And once you get to your hotel and unpack your luggage, these compression packing cubes hang easily in the closet or on a luggage rack thanks to built-in metal hooks so you don't have to fully unpack if you prefer not to. Just dangle the cubes into a kind of vertical shelving system and don't bother with a chest of drawers that's been used by zillions of guests before you.

Plus, if you’re a new customer, you can grab an extra $20 off your first $40 purchase with the Yahoo-shopper-exclusive code QVCNEW20. Don't want to pay for the cubes all at once? Spread out your payment in four installments of just over $9 with QVC's interest-free EasyPay option.

"I have used regular packing cubes for years and think they are great but this system takes it to a whole new level," one happy shopper raved. "How was this not invented sooner?!"

Another explained just how they used their BumbleBella by Jill Martin compression packing cube set to pack for a recent vacation. "Was never a believer in packing cubes...until now. These really work! I was able to pack four outfits, all my undergarments, an extra pair of shoes, all of my shampoos, lotions, and two makeup bags with a little room to spare in a carry on!"

One fan of these Jill Martin cubes was able to pack for an entire eight-day trip. "I rolled my pants/shorts but left my dresses and shirts flat: 2 midi dresses, 1 cozy chic sweater, 5 pair 8" inseam shorts, 3 pair ankle pants, 6 t-shirts, 3 long sleeve shirts, 1 light weight sweatshirt, 1 packable sun hat and 1 long sleeve/pants cotton pair of pajamas."

And if you don't believe me that compression packing cubes are life-changing, take it from this QVC shopper: "I ordered myself the leopard! I have used these every time I travel. I use it for undergarments, pajamas, hosiery and anything you would normally put in a drawer (never use those when I travel) and when I unpack into the closet I hang them and done. You don’t know how this is a game changer. You need a set."

Grab the BumbleBella by Jill Martin Four-Piece Hanging Packing Cubes & Organizer Set and set yourself up for the stress-free summer vacation you deserve — and save a pretty penny while doing it!
