Travel Accessories to Bring on Your Next Trip
Traveling is one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences one can have. Whether you’re exploring a new city or relaxing on a tropical beach, traveling allows you to broaden your horizons and create memories that will last a lifetime. However, packing for a trip can be a daunting task, especially if you’re not sure what to bring. That’s where travel accessories come in. By packing the right tools and gadgets, you can make your trip more comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the must-have travel accessories that you should consider bringing on your next trip.
Travel Accessories to Bring on Your Next Trip
Canopy Portable Humidifier
This is the brand of humidifier I keep on my bedside table to keep my skin and sinuses hydrated. I love that its persistent airflow technology combats mold and I can run most of the parts through the dishwasher to sanitize it. I was delighted to see they’ve come out with a travel-sized one, and it’s TSA-approved!
The Original Cincha Travel Belt for Luggage
The Cincha Travel Belt is a product designed to make traveling easier and more convenient. This adjustable belt features a secure buckle and a durable strap that can be attached to any carry-on luggage, allowing you to transport multiple bags all at once.
AirFly Pro Wireless Transmitter/Receiver
If you fly often, the AirFly Pro Wireless Transmitter/Receiver is a must-have travel accessory. It allows you to use your wireless headphones or earbuds with in-flight entertainment systems, which often only have wired headphone jacks. This little device helps you enjoy movies, music, and other entertainment without having to use the uncomfortable and low-quality headphones provided by the airline. I wish I’d had this before we left on this trip.
Hat Clip for Travel
This handy device allows you to attach your hat to your backpack, luggage, or other gear, making it easy to carry and access when you need it. Whether you’re hiking, camping, or exploring a new city, having a Hat Clip can help you keep your hat safe and secure while also freeing up space in your bag.
Bombas Women’s Everyday Compression Sock 3-Pack
Whether you’re exploring a new city on foot, sitting through a long flight, or spending hours in a car, the Bombas Women’s Everyday Compression Socks are the perfect travel companion to keep your feet feeling fresh and energized. These socks are designed to provide gentle compression, which helps reduce swelling and fatigue during long flights or extended periods of sitting. Their soft and breathable material ensures that your feet stay cool and comfortable, even in warm or humid climates.
Universal Airplane in Flight Phone Mount
This mount is portable and compact, making it easy to bring with you on any trip, and it’s a great way to make the most of your in-flight entertainment options. Its adjustable design fits most smartphones, and it can be easily adjusted to the perfect viewing angle.
Conair Travel Steamer for Clothes
With its compact size and easy-to-use design, this steamer is perfect for packing in your suitcase or carry-on bag. It’s a great way to keep your clothes looking fresh and wrinkle-free while on the road. It heats up quickly and features a dual voltage function, making it ideal for international travel.
Nice ‘n Clean SmudgeGuard Lens Cleaning Wipes
I hate my glasses being dirty or smudged, so I always make sure I keep lens wipes in my purse and car to help keep my glasses clear. I like these wipes because they are individually wrapped, and a box lasts me for ages!
Universal International Travel Power Adapter
The Universal International Travel Power Adapter is an essential accessory for anyone who travels frequently. This adapter allows you to plug your electronic devices into outlets in over 200 countries! Mine was sitting right on the counter when I was packing for this trip but I forgot to pack it so I’m scrambling to keep things charged.
YUNI Beauty Large Body Wipes
If you are feeling a bit grimy after a long flight or car ride, these large body wipes are an easy and convenient way to freshen up. They’d also be great after a hike or a workout session!
Travel Accessories to Bring on Your Next Trip:
Do you have any upcoming trips or vacations on your calendar?
Yes to the Cincha and Apple Tags- love those.
I’d also add a travel water flosser for those of us who use a full size WaterPik or similar at home. My dental hygienist put the fear of God in me when I mentioned that I was going abroad for 6 weeks w/o my water flosser (since we travel carry-on only)- so I looked on Amazon and found a terrific travel version made by HANGSUN, which packs extremely small and can be charged on a USB port (mine kept its original charge for nearly 6 weeks).
Thanks for your continued helpful posts!
I need that flosser!! Thank you.
Terrific list, Jennifer and made note of some of them as would make great Xmas stocking stuffers for the travelers in my family. As to myself something I also include is a mini medical first aid kit adapted to my personal needs, a habit that I also encouraged my daughter to do/use when she fashion modeled internationally often three months at a time (during her University years). i.e.: Something as simple as off-the-shelf allergy medication, pain relievers etc. -Brenda-
That’s a brilliant idea Brenda. I do carry personal meds but a set of things for issues that pop up, is smart.
We haven’t traveled in years but when we did it required a lot of sports equipment like skies or in summer the tent, sleeping bags, our tandem bike. Our vacations were always an adventure for me. We drove to wherever we were going to ride like Alberta, Canada to ride the Icefields Parkway. Six days with 100 pounds of gear behind my back on the back of the bike. I had a basic packing list that I used that I kept on the computer. I printed out a copy and would check off each thing as it was packed. It covered all of our types of travel and I could use it if I had to fly to California to see a graduation or wedding of one of my grandchildren. I would have forgotten too much without that check list.
I find check lists invaluable too!
It is useful to remember that TSA approved locks are ok for here in the US. But they do not want you locking luggage overseas, TSA does not rule there, as a somewhat unkind gate agent once told me. If you must fasten up the bag, you can use a little zip tie that can be cut. If they open your bag, there should be a notice inside that it has been opened. I never lock any of my bags.
Thanks for sharing that. I’ve never found a note in my bag.
Just be aware that clothes steamers, travel irons, etc are not allowed on cruise ships and will be confiscated. (Will return to you at end of trip)
Also, any power strip with surge protection. Ask your cabin attendant if you need extension cords for your CPAP or other requirements. I bring a plug in USB “hub” that will accommodate 7 cords/items.
That’s a good catch. Thank you Laurie
What about locks for luggage? Do you use them? Are they necessary?
Would love to hear your thoughts.
I use the little locks on the zipper if I am going to check a bag, otherwise I don’t bother with my handles helds
