6. Trtl Airplane Pillow

Most of us like to have a nap during a longer flight, but airplane seats aren’t always going to keep your head and neck in the best position. And the large donut type pillows you can buy in the airport help, but they are so bulky. The Trtl pillows will give support to your neck, but then they fold up into your luggage. Just wrap around your neck and secure it where it is most comfortable.

7. Tripped Board Game

9. Zero Waste MVMT Solid Shampoo and Conditioner with Travel Case

This earth friendly product is fabulous. These shampoo and conditioner bars cut out the plastic containers. Each bar will last about the same amount as 2 to 3 bottles of liquid.

10. Bagsmart Compression Packing Cubes

Packing cubes can be a game changer for keeping your clothing organized when you travel. Compression cubes take it one step further by also saving space.

Keep track of your luggage and other items. These tags work just as well as the big name brand at less cost. They can be paired with iOS devices and then located using the Find My app. Please note that the batteries will need to be replaced after a year in order for the tag to work properly.

12. Travel Journal with Prompts

This is a travel journal with a beautifully soft vegan leather cover. Unlike some travel journals which are just blank pages, this one includes prompts to help you write about your day. A attached pen holder means you’ll never be scrambling for something to write with. There is also a pocket for tickets and other mementos. The journal is small enough to tuck into a backpack but includes 100 pages.

This is a classic book to help you with your travel planning. This gives you a month by month look at which destinations are best at which time of year. It shows you what events happen at different times around the world, and gives you some resources to plan a trip that fits in best with your interests. A great resource for your future travel plans.

15. Physix Gear Compression Socks

If you wear compression socks to help avoid swelling during long flights, you’ll know there are two things you need. The socks need to be the right amount of compression – too much and you’ll feel like they are cutting your circulation off, too little and they don’t really help. They also need to be comfortable or you just won’t want to wear them. These socks get both those aspects right. Available for both men and women in a variety of colours.
