Travel Accessories I Never Travel Without
Tripped Toiletry Kit
Friends, this is the BEST toiletry kit I have ever tried, and I have a lot of toiletry bags! Watch this brief video to see how I fit 45 items into this toiletry kit.
One of my favorite features is the detachable TSA liquids bag. This kit easily hangs on a hook or towel rod to clear up counter space at your destination. This is particularly nice for smaller bathrooms.
It also includes a third bonus bag that is great for accessories like brushes, hair tools, makeup brushes, etc. It is available in various colors, including teal, dusty rose, white, gray, black, and green.
One of the best features of this kit is that you can store it unfolded in your luggage, saving valuable space.
OMG! Ya’ll, I’m so excited! My favorite toiletry kit now has another option for those who like to bring an array of makeup that may not fit in the main kit.
In addition to the features I mentioned above, this version also includes a 9″x5″x3″ makeup bag. This additional bag is an excellent bonus if you need more space.
Tripped Toiletry Kit
We use the White Noise App every time we travel overnight. It is great on planes or in hotel rooms when you want to drown out other noises or enjoy ambient noise while you sleep.
It has options including a fan, rain, ocean waves, birds, relaxing music, meditation sounds, and many more. This app is one of our essential travel accessories for ensuring a good night’s sleep.
Portable Charger
These handy chargers are great if you need to charge your phone on the go and want to avoid the hassle of a cord.
I used this throughout our last trip to Europe and liked that it conveniently charged my phone while I was taking photos or using navigation.
They are available for Android and Apple phones.
I like storing my charger in this case, so I have the charger and its power cord together in one place in my bag.
Electronics Accessories Organizer
We’ve used this travel cable organizer for years because it holds accessories for all our electronic devices and everything is easy to find.
It has plenty of room for electronic chargers, cords, earbuds, and other electronic accessories.
Trudy Tip: I like to use these magnetic cord organizers to keep our cords tidy.The magnets on the ends are strong yet stay together and are easy to use.
Kindle Fire HD
The Kindle Fire HD is my go-to for entertainment while traveling. You can download the books you want before your flight or anytime during your travels when wifi is available.
It also has apps for games, and with the high-definition display, it is also great for watching movies.
Stanley Water Bottle
This Stanley Quick Filp GO Bottle is my favorite water bottle to date. This bottle is one of my favorite travel accessories because it conveniently fits most cup holders and keeps drinks hot for up to 8 hours or cold for up to 12 hours.
It has held up well despite me dropping it multiple times and is still dent-free. It’s easy to clean, and all parts are dishwasher-safe.
All of those features are great. However, I especially like the metal clips that prevent it from leaking if it falls over in your bag. It also has a metal clip on the back that is handy for slipping over your finger when your hands are full.
Goo Tubes
These GoToob travel bottles are one of my favorite travel accessories and they are the perfect size for shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body wash. They come in 2 or 3 ounces, but the 2-ounce size works best for me.
The soft silicone makes it easy to get all of the product out, and better yet, they don’t leak. I also like that you can see how much product is in the bottle, and it is easy to squeeze the product out compared to cheaper travel bottles made of firmer plastic.
Medication Holder
This medication holder is a travel essential that I like to have in my bag. Its multiple compartments allow you to store various medications or supplements in one place.
Blistex
I love this Blistex Lip Medix lip balm! It leaves your lips feeling moisturized, and the coverage lasts. It also doesn’t leave my lips feeling dry or needing to be reapplied frequently like some lip balms.
Reed's Ginger Chews
Reed’s Ginger Chews are an effective option for motion sickness, indigestion, or stomach irritation. I prefer them to actual motion sickness medication and they don’t need to be taken with water, which is handy when you are on the go.
These individually wrapped ginger chews are my go-to and are always in my bag.
Heat Resistant Pouch/Mat
If you use any type of heated hair tool (curling irons, straighteners, crimpers, wavers, etc.), you need one of these heat-resistant pouches.
I like that it serves as a heat-resistant mat that protects your counter and a storage pocket.
You can slip your hot hair tool inside the pouch before placing it in your bag without waiting for the tool to cool down because it is heat resistant.
This is must-bring travel accessory and very affordable at around $5
