Travelling is something we get so excited for and are always counting down the days until take off. But once our adventure has begun, things can go wrong that can taint some of our vacation days. And who wants that? Many people have gone through the same experiences and have decided to create the smartest little accessories to carry with them on their trips. We’ve compiled a list of items you won’t believe exist, and once you buy them, you’ll wonder how you survived without them.
1. Shelfpak
Suitcases can get a little cluttered after you try shoving as many pairs of shoes and sweaters in as possible. You can never be too prepared. The Shelfpak organizes your suitcase in a way that makes it easy to unpack once you’ve reached your destination. Stay organized and keep those wrinkles out of your clothes!
2. All-In-One Leather Pop Clutch
Trying to juggle your purse, carry-on, luggage, jacket, phone and passport can get a little crazy. This Pop Clutch is an amazing way to stay organized and keep everything in the same place. You can even purchase a wrist strap to ensure nobody snags your most important items.
3. Travelrest
Sore necks on a plane are super normal. But it doesn’t have to be your normal! Travelrest is an inflatable pillow that can keep you comfy no matter what seat you’re in! Use it while you wait in the airport, and after take-off!
4. Scrubba Wash Bag
Shoot! You just spilled Italian pasta sauce on that shirt you were going to wear again on Friday! How do you manage this mini vacation hiccup? The Scrubba Bag will wash your laundry no matter where you are and it barely takes up any space in your suitcase.
5. Bluesmart One
Bluesmart One is truly the most secure bag we have seen. It is secured and controlled by an app on your phone. It will notify you if you have walked too far away from your suitcase, and it will automatically lock as well. USB ports are one of the coolest features for this piece of luggage so you can charge your phone anywhere. Just remember to charge your suitcase the night before you travel.
6. ThermaCell Rechargeable Heated Insoles
Chilly feet in the airport and on the airplane is something a lot of people experience when they travel. These warm ThermaCell insoles will keep your toes toasty until you land at your vacation destination.
7. Trakdot
The most genius invention for travel everywhere. Pack TrakDot in your suitcase and keep tabs on its whereabouts before and after you arrive at your destination. By checking the app on your phone, you’ll be able to immediately see if your suitcase has safely arrived. If it hasn’t, you can see exactly where in the country your bag was delivered.
8. A6 Memobottle
How have we not thought of this before?! Round water bottles take up so much space in our bags. Now, you can refill the A6 flat water bottle that will fit in perfectly with your wallet, book and passport.
9. Steripen
Say goodbye to sickness when you travel to a new country! Don’t risk your health, and test your water with Steripen before you drink it. If it’s okay to drink, a little smiley face will appear on the digital screen.
10. Digital Luggage Scale
No more dragging your suitcase onto your bathroom scale before heading to the airport. This easy little scale can hook around your suitcase handle and tell you if it makes the cut for weight. No need to guess how much clothing you can bring, keeping weighing it as you pack!
