Since Laura and I just spent the week in Florida, I thought it would be a great time to talk all things travel. In this post, I’m sharing some of the best travel gadgets and essentials that make your overall travel experience much better. These items are great for airplanes as well as road trips. If you don’t have a trip coming up, it’s still great to get these items now in preparation for any future trip you might embark on. Now is the perfect time to plan so you can get all the best deals! Going anywhere soon?

Best Travel Gadgets & Essentials
Packing Essentials
Let’s start with the items that will make your packing experience so much easier. Obviously, you’ll need nice luggage. This wheeled suitcase is a great size, plus it’s pretty and high quality. Add a nice leather luggage tag so you never have to worry about losing your things. One packing tip…use packing cubes. They save a ton of space, plus they are made to save your shoes from being squished. I also recommend investing in these travel ballet flats because they are made to fold into your luggage without getting ruined. Plus, they’re so cute! Next, you’ll need a bag for other essentials like electronics, books, etc. I think a backpack with a laptop compartment is a great idea. Some other things you might not think about…take a luggage scale to make sure your bags aren’t over the weight limit, a leather organizing case to organize your tech items and cables, and a portable charger so you never have to worry about finding a plug in the airport or at a rest stop.
Travel Essentials
Let’s look at the travel essentials for your ultimate comfort and safety. I know that some people have a hard time getting comfortable on long travel days, so I wanted to share a few things that will help. You definitely need these noise-masking headphones. They drown out the noise so you can play your favorite music and just fall asleep. Also, you need a nice memory foam neck pillow for the ultimate relaxation. This one can twist into different shapes, making it the best for whatever your travel situation is.
Travel Gadgets
When you arrive at your destination, you’ll want to make sure you have everything you need. There are some things that you’re likely to forget, might not think about, or just make your travel easier. One thing is this travel-sized skincare and travel-sized haircare. I use both of these kits every time I travel. Other gadgets include an outlet adapter and a mobile Wifi hotspot and power bank. This travel steamer is also a must-have item for traveling. Some cool items that help with sanitation is this cell phone sanitizer and charger and this no touch door opener. I love how convenient and easy these gadgets make my life! A fun add on is this GoPro waterproof action camera to capture and remember all of your fun travel adventures.

Perfectly timed post as we’re planning for Espana. The foot swing best for all the shorties, yep, picked that up! Came in purple too! #winning
Shelly-
I’m so glad you found this post helpful. Can’t wait to hear about your adventure in Spain!
Happy travels-
Tanya 🙂
WOW! This post is filled with so many handy items. I cannot wait to get the Bose sound earbuds! Thanks and safe travels!
Julie-
I’m so glad you like it. Noise cancelling anything is a must.
Let me know how you like them.

I love that cute little round bag and the cuff bracelets. I bought packing cubes like those before my beach trip, then totally forgot to use them, lol.
Julie-
Isn’t that funny. I have packing cubes and sometimes don’t use all of them. WHY? I forget to use them as well. UGH!

Great selections. I like the door alarm since I usually travel alone. I also like the suggestion on the earbuds. Hope you’re having a great time. Tell Pete when he’s driving just to KEEP LEFT.
Can’t wait to travel again and put some of these ideas to use. Have a great weekend.
A luggage scale and a technology organizer are a must!
Thank you for your post…super handy suggestions! What shoes do you wear when you have a long day of walking planned? I have developed a bunion and none of my current shoes are wearable for any length of time. 🙁
In Israel now…it’s wonderful! Few months ago in Antarctica and Galapagos in few months. A must buy, especially for long haul flights, is compression socks! Bombas has great ones..I try to get bright colored ones so I can easily pick them from regular socks. Also packing cubes…can be organized by theme (underwear, sleepwear, etc) or outfit. Or even temperature if going to different temps on same trip…red colored ones for the hot places, blue for the cooler climates.
Great post. I remember one of your travel posts that had a great costume zirconium eternity band. Could you send me that link? Thanks!
Is there a discount or offer on these travel gadgets and essentials? I have selected a maximum of these for use for future travel plans.
I LOVE the Tory Burch ballet flats, and in addition to travel, I wear them any time I’m going to be walking or on my feet for a while. They are an investment, but they are SO worth it.
Tanya, are the Tory Burch flats comfortable for long distance walking in Europe?
