Best Travel Bag Essentials
1. Best Tech Organizer
Almost all of us travel with technology gadgets. While others are more heavy-duty than others, rarely does one go anywhere without a phone, headphones, and a few chargers. Add this little bag to your travel essentials list so all your tech is not only organized but consolidated and easier to manage.
I can’t tell you how many times I have left a phone charger in a coffee shop or hotel room, so having one consistent place where I keep all my chargers holds me accountable. Your bag will be more organized but so will your life.
Best Places to grab a cute tech organizer:
- Amazon
- Etsy
- Leatherology for a beautiful leather bag made available in 7 different colors and an option to personalize.
2. Best Travel Steamer
Want a travel-friendly steamer that works at removing wrinkles? This top-rated Amazon steamer has raving reviews for good reason. It heats up fast and folds in half, perfect for on-the-go travels where you’re busy and need something quick to freshen your clothes up.
As a bonus to this list, I need to throw in an honorable mention. This little gadget has brought so many of my sweats, shirts, and other clothes back to life. People think I’m obsessed with this, but I’m okay with it. I am obsessed with it. And I think this is an obsession that doesn’t hurt anyone. It’s the Conair Fabric Shaver in white.
This fabric shaver or “defuzzer” removes all of those little pills that form on fabrics like polyester, cotton, wool, and blends. This fabric shaver combined with the steamer will have you looking expensive all the time. These two transform your clothes and are absolute travel bag essentials.
3. Best Travel Size Toiletries
This tip is sort of random but so good. This little travel-sized stain remover and brush from The Laundress has saved so many items of mine from dirt, spaghetti sauce- you name it.
When you’re away from home, maybe without a washer and dryer and backup clothes, it’s so nice to feel prepared in case you spill or get dirt on your clothes. This stain remover WORKS at getting tough stains out and a little goes a long way. Work it in with the brush and rinse with water and voilá!
This one’s pretty self-explanatory, but for all my menstruating women out there, you need to bring tampons! Even if you aren’t expected to get your period on your trip, you never know who might need them and it’s a good habit to carry them with you at all times. It’s such a lifesaver when you just have them when they’re needed.
I like these because they’re travel-sized and organic. I just feel like if we’re going to be worried about anything being organic, it should be what we’re inserting into our vaginas, right? Anyways, it never hurts to be extra hygienic and cautious with your precious parts.
I’m obsessed with Moroccanoil hair products so I was so happy to find out they sell their original hydrating shampoo and conditioner in travel size. These are unisex, smell amazing and just work at cleansing the scalp and conditioning the hair without stripping.
You never know what kind of shampoo and conditioner hotels are going to have, or if their free bottles will be enough for your stay. I always bring my own, because as you have probably guessed, I’d rather be prepared.
If you also strictly use an electric toothbrush, you know the struggle of lugging it along everywhere you go. They’re big and clunky, require a charger, and take up a lot of room in your toiletries bag. This quip toothbrush comes with batteries, so you can get that fresh brush feeling without carrying around another charger (that’s not what any of us need).
It also comes with a multi-use travel case that mounts to mirrors, glass, and tile so you can feel a little more at home in your hotel room.
Best Places to grab toiletries:
- Amazon
- Bed Bath & Beyond
- Dollar store
- CVS
4. Best Travel Bottles
While predictable, the Yeti just works. It does what it needs to do without the frill. It’s your go-to travel mug that keeps my hibiscus iced tea and lemon water ice-cold and my dark coffee brew or hot chocolate perfectly warm for hours. You can throw it in your suitcase for water refills wherever you’re going or bring your favorite beverage on the road trip without losing its ideal temperature.
This extremely chic tumbler is a new purchase. If you prefer drinking out of straws, this is the cutest cup for all your iced beverages. She’s sustainable, she’s stylish and she’s made from 100% Borosilicate glass and bamboo for durability and to preserve all the delicious flavors of your favorite beverage.
5. Best Travel Pillow
I hate the feeling of not being able to get comfortable on a long plane or train ride. You’re around strangers, a baby is screaming, and all you want is to be able to relax.
Having a comfortable pillow that supports the neck without being too stiff is important. I like this one because it’s simple, portable, and comes with an eye mask and earplugs. Being well-rested on the go is extra important so make sure you’re bringing something to support your sleep.
6. Best Travel Emergency Kit
I know this isn’t the most glamorous mention, but of course, you need a solid first aid kit. At least with bandaids, alcohol wipes, and a few bandages and q-tips. Carrying bandaids have saved my feet from blistering on so many occasions when walking a ton.
This Coleman emergency kit has been ranked highly and has a 27 piece inventory so you’ll be sure to be stocked up for a while.
7. Best Travel Pill Organizer
Don’t let the size of this pill organizer fool you. Each square is removable from the case for complete customization. You can take as many as you’d like so you have the exact amount of pills needed for the length of your trip. I like the numbered boxes better than the days of the week too, so you can really simplify things when you’re traveling.
