Valentine’s Day is coming up! If you’re someone who likes to buy gifts for your special person or maybe just want to treat yourself to new travel goodies, this list is for you. These items are TWB vetted, and you can find most of them with me on each trip.
Mystery Picnics are so much fun! Yoni and I have completed several as a date and even with family. They’re great locally, and if you’re visiting a new city, they're helpful in orienting you to your surroundings. Read about my Mystery Picnic review here.
I don’t know how I traveled without these. These containers make my toiletry bag much more manageable, and they have taken me from using two toiletry bags (thanks, Yoni!) to one! They’re pricier than what you can find in the travel section at Target but significantly more durable and reliable, so they do not explode in transit. I have one for Advil and keep it in my everyday purse. Use my link to get $20 off your purchase.
I’m often asleep before takeoff. This sweater helps ensure I get those snacks during a flight! I wear this both on domestic U.S. flights and internationally. Some airlines have policies to wake up passengers on long-haul flights to ask if they want a meal, while other airlines don’t. Don’t chance it and get this sweatshirt!
We often fly budget airlines that don’t put TVs on the back of their seats. I’ll clip this sturdy holder to the tray table, and it will save my neck instead of looking down. Many passengers have paused to ask me where I bought it. Now you can get one too! (Image: Amazon)
5. Away Luggage
My parents bought away luggage, and on every trip, I heard about how the bags glide and how the wheels are so easy. After hearing this many times, we got Away luggage of our own, and WOW, IT’S SO TRUE. These bags make trekking through the airport a breeze. Your bag will roll away from you if you’re not careful! Plus, the hard shell helps prevent overpacking while providing some protection to anything fragile inside. Use my referral link to get $20 off any suitcase or bag. (Image: Away)
Charge up to 6 devices in over 150 countries. Need I write more? (Image: Amazon)
I use these at home and while traveling. They’re great for protecting your hair from excessive heat and take up less space in your suitcase than hair tools. Instead of buying a hair tool for each country (because you NEVER use a hair tool with an adapter/converter), give this a shot. (Image: Amazon)
8. Air tag
If you check luggage and have an iPhone, I highly recommend you get an air tag! You’ll know where your bags are in the instance they don’t make it to your destination. We use one at home on various water bottles, too. (Image: Amazon)
I searched high and low to find a good travel backpack that has water bottle pockets on both sides, lots of interior pockets, a laptop compartment, a luggage sleeve, and would fit under a seat on a plane. I ended up on the Ogio website and took a chance. I love this backpack so much that my husband and my dad each bought one, too. (Image: Amazon)
10. Packing cubes
Packing cubes help fit everything in my bag, and they keep me from digging around endlessly to find that one pair of socks. I’m able to better group my clothes by item type or outfit, whichever makes more sense for that trip. (Image: Amazon)
11. Neck pillow
Whether traveling by plane, train, or car, a good neck pillow is essential. I like this one because it lets me wrap it in various ways and position it comfortably wherever I am. (Image: Amazon)
Compression socks are game-changing for air travel. You’ll feel the difference in your legs when you wear compression socks while flying. My favorites are the ones from Everyday Compression socks from Bombas. They’re not too tight, and my legs are no longer restless. Use my link for 25% off your first order. (Image: Bombas)
13. Air Fly Bluetooth Transmitter
If you are on a nicer plane with in-flight entertainment, you can use this adapter to use your personal headphones to watch content instead of the disposable ones given on flights. I also use this adapter at home if Yoni is sleeping while I want to watch TV. Dual purpose! (Image: Amazon)
Why is it that hotel bathrooms barely have enough counter space for all the toiletries? I learned about hanging toiletry bags years ago and never looked back. (Image: Amazon)
