1. A stylish Samsonite Freeform Spinner Carry-On that’s spacious, lightweight and won’t stress you out when you’re the last one on the plane.

Features a TSA-approved lock, dual spinner wheels to navigate those pesky airline aisles, and a spot to attach your external USB charger.
2. A very functional trio of packing cubes that’ll help you earn some extra space for clothes on your way to the destination, AND on your way back.
Kyle Richmond
If you don’t have packing cubes as part of your luggage set, you’re missing out. This 3-piece system by Samsonite can hold shirts, shorts, pants, sweaters – pretty much any piece of clothing. It’ll also keep you organized and increase how much can fit in your luggage.
4. A very supportive travel pillow that’ll help you feel refreshed when you arrive at your destination.

If those regular travel pillows are leaving something to be desired, upgrade to the TRTL Pillow that’ll fully support your noggin, relieve spine stress and have you catching some of the best z’s of your life.
5. A trendy fanny pack that’s upcycled from Air Canada life preservers.
Roncy Packs / Via roncypacks.com
Made by a woman-owned family business in Toronto, these fanny packs are the definition of travel-obsessed. They’ve got an adjustable strap, interior pocket, are water-resistant and come in three sizes. They’re also a conversation starter!
6. An elevated earplug to drown out screaming children or unruly passengers.
Loop Earplugs / Via us.loopearplugs.com
These will reduce noise up to 26DdB and are made with super soft silicone. It comes with 4 different ear tip sizes for the perfect fit and are easily cleaned to be reused. It also boasts 6 different colour options so you can stay stylish while being in your zen era.
7. Or if you’d rather listen to some tunes, a pair of noise-cancelling headphones that’ll help you rock out in peace.
Walmart
These Apple AirPods feature noise cancellation, spatial audio, and a longer battery life which make them the perfect travel companion. Now technically I have the very old version of these that feature zero noise cancellation so if any of my friends or family are reading this, hint hint.
8. An indestructable Hydroflask to stay hydrated no matter where you are in the world.
Kyle Richmond
The 21 oz will fit perfectly in most backpack side pockets and help you avoid single use plastic bottles. Fill it up at the airport or on the go with either hot or cold drinks — and then throw it in the dishwasher when you get home. You can even grab a Flex Straw Cap if that’s more your style.
9. An Apple Airtag so you can keep tabs on your luggage, because not knowing where it is kind of sucks.
Kyle Richmond
This thing has come in handy so many times I can’t even count. Throw one in your checked luggage and track the status of your bag using your iPhone or iPad. The charge will also last about a year and uses a standard watch battery. I added a Belkin Secure Holder to mine so it’s easy to attach to different items.
10. A portable charger that’ll make sure your most important devices are always ready to go when you need them.

This Power Bank by Anker has saved by caboose on a number occasions while travelling and while at home. t’s lightweight and can refill your phone multiple times on a single charge.
11. A passport holder that will keep your passport safe and secure.
Walmart
I have a habit of being, well, forgetful. So a few years ago I picked up this travel wallet and passport holder and it’s a game changer. For me, it makes my passport footprint a lot larger which makes it more difficult to lose. It also comes with RFID blocking since there’s so much tech inside our passports and government ID’s nowadays.
12. A folding travel hair dryer that can fit compactly into any carry on bag.
Conair
No need to stress about whether your destination has a hair dryer when you can just bring your own! This one has a compact design with a folding handle and dual voltage for worldwide travel. No bad hair days around here.
13. A perfect stocking stuffer – liquid detergent that’ll easily get pass security.
Walmart
I was on a longer trip last summer, gone for about 3 weeks and was quickly running out of clean clothes. Instead of trying to find a laundromat or paying the out-of-this-world prices for the hotel to do it, I opted for these travel packets. Just add one to a sink or bathtub with your clothing and scrub away!
14. And finally a pack of toilet bowl odor eliminators that’ll keep your number two private if you’re sharing a bathroom with anyone.
