THE ESSENTIALS
BLANKET SCARF
Not only is it a flawless fashion accessories, but it doubles as a blanket OR a pillow in a cold airplane! Literally never travel in winter without mine!
WATER BOTTLE
A company fold-able water bottle is KEY because it can fit back in your purse when you don’t want a full empty bottle!
PUZZLES
While I love my iPad, I also love a non-screen item when traveling! For when you didn’t realize your ipad ran out of battery or you’re going insane from Netflix. The NYT puzzles are my favorites, and Monday puzzles are the best!
I also never travel without my Kindle so I can read on my trips!!!
PORTABLE BATTERY
The amount of times mine has saved me is absolutely frightening. The speed at which my battery dies is also frightening.
COMPACT MIRROR
This handy light up gem comes with me into gross hostels, airport bathrooms on work trips, and my boyfriends very poorly lit apartment. A makeup must to save yourself from foundation lines.
PACKING CUBES
If you haven’t tried these out yet THEY ARE LIFECHANGING. It’s like Maria Kondo went wild on your suitcase. I can fit so much more in with these!!!!
NECK PILLOW
While I don’t always take mine with me for short flights, it never leaves my side on international trips or car rides! Makes you way less sore tomorrow.
SUNGLASSES
Mostly a reminder to myself to stop forgetting mine, but these are the ones I order every time I lose mine (which, sadly, is often).
NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES
I debated getting quality Bose headphones for so long, and randomly Amazon messed up Denver’s Bose order and he got two. So, I got one! That’s to say, I would 1000% purchase my own because WOW SO WORTH IT. Especially on flights!!!!
I also own these wireless one’s and wear them when bulky headphones aren’t my jam!
TOILETRY BAG
Best purchase of 2018 for sure. This gem holds more than any other I bought and is SO convenient. I love how many compartments and pockets it has so I can stay organized. It’s a travel must!!!
COMFY CLOTHES
You will never, NEVER find me on a plane wearing real pants. It simply does not exist. Also not ever in shorts because I get way too cold on planes. Instead, you will find me in my favorite pair of leggings, always.
EASY TOTE BAG
I got rid of my giant inconvenient very not cute backpack years ago and NEVER looked back. I live and breath for a solid easy to use tote bag (or my cute leather target backpack) on a plane to hold all of my things. Having something I can take right off the plane and on my travels around a city is a game changer.
Hope you guys found these travel must have accessories helpful! I own EVERY SINGLE ONE of these items and absolutely recommend them to anyone.
If you are in the market for some travel goodies, then these are the best bets. Also, please add some of your own favorites in the comments! I love finding new things!

I love that toiletry bag. I love ones that have a bigger pouch for bigger items. You don’t see that a lot in the roll up ones.

My headphones were a lifesaver on my trip this summer! A portable battery pack was too.

I think noise cancelling headphones would be so awesome to have on a flight, especially one with crying babies. I also agree that blanket scarves are so handy for flights that don’t offer blankets to all of the passengers.

Such a lovely post! I agree with everything you said. I always have those things with me. Although, that reminds me – I have to get another power bank. And I have always wanted to try those packing cubes 🙂

OMG! I love that compact water bottle. That’s definitely something I need to buy! Helps so much when I don’t really have much space.

I love using a jewelry organizer and keeping a rechargeable battery always on deck with me when I travel! My phone is always dying on me and I need to keep the juice up.
