]]> With the holiday season fast approaching, many of us have already begun the process of planning and shopping for all of the festivities. For Christmas, Hanukkah, and everything in between, we always look forward to surprising our loved ones with the perfect gift, but this is definitely easier for some than others. Fortunately, with a bit of research, we’ve found a few options that we’re confident the travel-lovers on our lists are sure to enjoy. 

Passport Wallet

A passport wallet is more than just a stylish accessory— it’s a practical item that can help travelers to stay organized while offering protection against identity theft. Opt for one with Radio Frequency Identification-blocking technology to prevent scammers from accessing their card information as well as several compartments for credit cards, boarding passes, and cash.

Travel Steamer

The process of folding and packing clothes into a suitcase can leave them looking a bit worse for wear, but for the fashion-loving travelers in your life, a portable steamer is the perfect solution. Choose one with a lightweight, portable design and dual voltage so they’ll be able to use without a power converter. 

Noise-Canceling Headphones

As bad as we feel for their parents, the last thing we want to deal with on long flights is a baby that won’t stop crying, and we doubt we’re alone in this sentiment. Screaming children or not, noisy environments are inherently exhausting, and noise-canceling headphones can help travelers to find some much-needed quiet. They also offer better sound quality, allowing your loved one to enjoy their favorite music or podcasts in peace.

]]> If you’ve got travel plans in the foreseeable future, you may want to consider packing a portable charger in your carry-on bag. Portable chargers, also known as power banks, are compact devices that store electrical energy, allowing you to recharge devices such as cell phones and tablets on the go. While some airports do offer charging stations, some are still a bit behind in this regard, and it’s even more of a gamble whether you’ll find a charging port on your flight. To prevent potential complications upon landing, or, at least, save yourself from boredom, a good portable charger will be your new best friend. Read on to discover a few of the best portable chargers on the market. 

Anker MagGo 622

Anyone with an iPhone 12 or 13 will love this magnetic portable charger by Anker. It offers both wireless and USB charging options, and even comes with a built-in kickstand if you need to keep your phone upright while it’s connected. It’s also super compact, so it won’t take up valuable space in your travel bag.

Nimble CHAMP Portable Charger

Made from earth-friendly materials such as recycled plastic, Nimble’s portable chargers are as sustainable as they are functional. The CHAMP and CHAMP Lite chargers are perfect for charging phones and tablets, but if you need a little extra power, the Pro bank is also strong enough for laptops.

KREAFUNK toCHARGE

While power is the most important factor to look for in a portable charger, for those of us who prefer that our devices have a particular aesthetic appeal, KREAFUNK chargers are an excellent choice. We especially love the toCHARGE line, which includes their original and miniature chargers in a variety of fun colors.

]]> Wherever in the world your travels take you, it’s important to stay hydrated while you’re on the go. Grabbing an overpriced bottle of water at the airport may be convenient, but by bringing your own bottle, you can reduce your environmental impact and save money in the process. With so many stylish and durable water bottles on the market, you can easily find one that fits your needs and personal style. Here are some of the best water bottles for travel.

Hydro Flask

Hydro Flask offers a wide range of insulated mugs and water bottles made from high-quality stainless steel. Their products feature double-walled vacuum insulation to keep water cold for up to 24 hours, and the wide mouth of the bottles makes them super comfortable to drink from.

LARQ

LARQ water bottles are a game-changer when it comes to staying hydrated while traveling. These innovative bottles use UV-C LED technology to purify water and eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses. Not only that, but they come in sleek designs that are perfect for the style-conscious traveler.

Yeti

Yeti water bottles are built to last, making them an especially great choice for both frequent-flying and adventure-seeking travelers. They’re made of durable stainless steel that keeps cold drinks chilly for up to 16 hours, so you can enjoy clean water throughout your entire journey.

They offer sleep aids including eyemasks, earplugs, and body pillows designed to make rest more restorative. While their products can be used for naps anywhere, anytime, we’ve enjoyed using the most while flying. Their travel pillow in particular has made the biggest difference of all. All products are available here. Here’s a little more about some of our favorite Manta products and why we’ll never travel without them again.

Travel Pillow

Move over, every other travel pillow ever made. Have you ever fallen asleep on a flight and woken up with a stiff neck because your head fell forward with no support? The Manta pillow can be used in four different positions to support your noggin in whichever direction you nod off.

Sleep Mask

Some airlines give out eyemasks to passengers, especially on long-haul flights, but none of them can compare to this one. It’s designed to create 100% blackout, protecting your eyes from the lights of your neighbors’ screens. 

Earplugs

Earplugs are earplugs, right? Wrong—Manta’s earplugs are designed with a unique bell shape to block out more noise while fitting comfortably in your ear. They stay comfortable even when worn for a long time so you can enjoy your flight in peace and quiet.

]]> Oprah Winfrey knows all about quality. After all, this is the woman who is famous for giving her audience members the best gifts. Each year, the talk show host reveals her list of favorite things and we’re always taking notes. 

One thing that made the cut this year is not only practical, but super pretty. We present to you the Trvl Design Travel Toiletry Bag. 

We know what you’re thinking—what makes a toiletry bag so special?

Well, let’s start with the fact that it has three separate compartments so you can arrange your stuff by category and avoid it all getting muddled up. The bag is able to lie flat once opened and features an interior zip pocket in the lid and two removable pouches inside. It’s big enough that you can pack full-sized products, as well as hair accessories and jewelry. 

“The makeup lover in your life will surely be into these woven cosmetic cases,” says Oprah. “They look luxe and are just the right size to stash makeup and some skincare. You also really get bang for your buck with one big top handle mama case plus two baby pouches.”

And as we said: Oprah knows. So why not try it out for yourself?

]]> As much as we love traveling, it can definitely get expensive. The costs of flights, hotels, and food can add up, so we like to try to save money wherever we can. One of the best ways is by keeping an eye out for seasonal sales, and this Black Friday, you can be sure that there are a few we definitely plan to take advantage of. We’ve scoured the internet and rounded up some of the best holiday deals on travel essentials and accessories that you won’t want to miss out on.

Away Suitcases

Away is one of our favorite brands for luggage and travel accessories of all kinds, but they’re definitely not one we’d consider to be especially affordable. This Black Friday, they’re offering $50 off when you purchase 2 suitcases and $100 off any 3 as well as up to 40% off select accessories.

Beats Headphones

Nothing can make or break a flight like noisy and disruptive neighbors, so we always make sure to bring noise-canceling headphones in our carry-ons. Black Friday is a great time to take advantage of deals like $200 off Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Over-Ear Headphones on Amazon or $50 off Beats Studio Buds True Wireless Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Earbuds at Target.

Manta Masks

Manta Sleep Masks are our go-to product whenever we want a good night’s sleep, but they’re especially helpful on flights as they create 100% blackout without putting any pressure on our eyes. For Black Friday, they’re offering 15% off all orders over $99, 20% off when you spend $149, and 25% off purchases $199+.

]]> As much as we may covet the feeling of freedom that comes with living out of a suitcase, it’s not without its challenges. It can be really difficult to stay organized whenever we’re on the road and the last thing we want is to leave any of our things in a hotel room in a foreign country. Thankfully, many luggage companies now offer products designed to make packing (and repacking) a breeze. We’ve found our travels have been much more seamless since we started using them. Here are a few of our top picks.

Cadence Capsule a Day

More than just your basic pill organizer, Cadence makes customizable, leak-proof organizers that can be used to store anything from vitamins to body lotion. The organizers are available in both 12 and six-day sizes in several colors and can be customized with pictures or text so that you know exactly what’s in which capsule.

Apple Airtag

When you’ve got a big trip planned, the last thing you want is for your luggage to get lost along the way. We love to tuck an Apple Airtag tracking device into each of our suitcases so that we’ll be able to locate them easily should we need to. 

AWAY Packing Cubes

These cubes are our absolute favorite way to keep the contents of our suitcases neat and tidy. They come in several sizes designed to hold different categories of clothing and have mesh tops so you can easily see what’s inside each cube.

]]> If you follow any travel influencers on social media, you may have heard some of them mention that they wear compression socks when they fly, but what exactly does this mean? Compression socks are a specific type of sock designed to increase circulation in the legs and feet. Medical versions of compression socks are often worn by patients with certain illnesses where increasing circulation is especially important, though there are non-medical versions available as well.

They can provide great support in situations like flying that involve sitting still for long periods of time. Check with your doctor to make sure wearing compression socks is safe for you, but if you’re curious, here are some points to consider.

Risks of Flying

Our bodies are designed to move throughout the day; it’s important for keeping our blood circulation flowing and muscles from becoming stiff. When we sit for long periods in a cramped position such as during flights with minimal legroom, blood can start to pool in the feet and legs, leading to discomfort and swelling in the feet and ankles. In serious cases, slowed circulation can lead to blood clots.

Levels of Compression

The level of compression you’ll need will depend on factors including how long your flight is and if you have any specific health risks to consider. If you have a long flight and are someone with an already increased risk for blood clots due to poor circulation, you’ll probably need a firmer compression.

Cost

The cost of compression socks will depend on a few factors: the brand, material, and level of compression. More affordable pairs are available over the counter at most drug stores for as little as $10, though medical-grade socks can cost upwards of $100.

]]> One of the most difficult aspects of distance travel is the jet lag we typically experience as a result of flying across time zones. While there’s no substitute for letting your body naturally adjust to the time difference once you’ve arrived at your destination, getting some shuteye on the plane can help.

To make sleep during our flights easier and more comfortable, we always make sure to bring eye masks in our carry-on bags. Some airlines do offer eye masks to passengers for long flights, but we find they’re not usually very comfortable and don’t always fit. If you fly often, it can definitely be worth investing in one of your own. Here are some of our favorites:

Manta Sleep Mask

Manta claims that they’ve made the world’s comfiest 100% blackout mask, and after trying it, we have to agree. It’s made of super soft modal fabric and is completely adjustable to fit any size head, so you can say goodbye to those annoying elastic straps.

Lunya Weighted Sleep Mask

If you’ve ever tried a weighted blanket, you know how comforting the slight pressure they’re designed to provide can be, and weighted eye masks work similarly. This mask is filled with glass beads and can help soothe anxiety so you can get some rest. It’s made from a super soft silk and comes in 3 different colors.

Dreamlight Muse

Tune out your surroundings both visually and audibly with this blackout mask with a built-in Bluetooth player. You can listen to music or even white noise to block out any noisy neighbors without having to figure out how to wear your headphones under your mask. Just be sure to take out the power bank before throwing it in the wash.

]]> As much as we want to look put together while traveling, it can be tricky to find pieces that can stand up to the journey of being dragged through airports and toted around cities and still look chic in the process. With bags, in particular, we’ve often found that we need to choose between ones that suit our taste and ones that are actually capable of holding all of our possessions as we spend time walking around and exploring.

Fortunately, though, the days of having to choose between style and function are behind us. We love to use backpacks when we travel, and we’ve found a few that suit all of our practical needs without compromising on style in the process.

Everlane Renew Transit Backpack

This bag checks all of our boxes when it comes to what we’re looking for in a travel backpack. It’s comfortable, waterproof, and has 7 pockets, so it’s big enough to carry everything we need for a flight. We also love that it’s made with recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly option.

Herschel Retreat Backpack

Herschel is our favorite brand for bags when we’re looking for something classic and durable, and their retreat bags are no exception. They’re made in several different sizes, so you can choose the one that best suits how much space you need during travel. Some of the color options are also made with recycled materials.

Lululemon City Adventure Backpack

What we love most about this backpack (aside from how comfortable it is) is its versatility. It has plenty of pockets to help keep you organized and even a separate compartment for dirty clothes, which is helpful at the gym but can also come in handy for travel.

]]> As much as we love traveling, it can definitely get expensive. The costs of flights, hotels, and food can add up, so we like to try to save money wherever we can. One of the best ways is by keeping an eye out for seasonal sales, and this Black Friday, you can be sure that there are a few we definitely plan to take advantage of. We’ve scoured the internet and rounded up some of the best holiday deals on travel essentials and accessories that you won’t want to miss out on.

Away Suitcases

Away is one of our favorite brands for luggage and travel accessories of all kinds, but they’re definitely not one we’d consider to be especially affordable. This Black Friday, they’re offering $50 off when you purchase 2 suitcases and $100 off any 3 as well as up to 40% off select accessories.

Beats Headphones

Nothing can make or break a flight like noisy and disruptive neighbors, so we always make sure to bring noise-canceling headphones in our carry-ons. Black Friday is a great time to take advantage of deals like $200 off Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Over-Ear Headphones on Amazon or $50 off Beats Studio Buds True Wireless Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Earbuds at Target.

Manta Masks

Manta Sleep Masks are our go-to product whenever we want a good night’s sleep, but they’re especially helpful on flights as they create 100% blackout without putting any pressure on our eyes. For Black Friday, they’re offering 15% off all orders over $99, 20% off when you spend $149, and 25% off purchases $199+.

]]> As much as we may covet the feeling of freedom that comes with living out of a suitcase, it’s not without its challenges. It can be really difficult to stay organized whenever we’re on the road and the last thing we want is to leave any of our things in a hotel room in a foreign country. Thankfully, many luggage companies now offer products designed to make packing (and repacking) a breeze. We’ve found our travels have been much more seamless since we started using them. Here are a few of our top picks.

Cadence Capsule a Day

More than just your basic pill organizer, Cadence makes customizable, leak-proof organizers that can be used to store anything from vitamins to body lotion. The organizers are available in both 12 and six-day sizes in several colors and can be customized with pictures or text so that you know exactly what’s in which capsule.

Apple Airtag

When you’ve got a big trip planned, the last thing you want is for your luggage to get lost along the way. We love to tuck an Apple Airtag tracking device into each of our suitcases so that we’ll be able to locate them easily should we need to. 

AWAY Packing Cubes

These cubes are our absolute favorite way to keep the contents of our suitcases neat and tidy. They come in several sizes designed to hold different categories of clothing and have mesh tops so you can easily see what’s inside each cube.

]]> If you follow any travel influencers on social media, you may have heard some of them mention that they wear compression socks when they fly, but what exactly does this mean? Compression socks are a specific type of sock designed to increase circulation in the legs and feet. Medical versions of compression socks are often worn by patients with certain illnesses where increasing circulation is especially important, though there are non-medical versions available as well.

They can provide great support in situations like flying that involve sitting still for long periods of time. Check with your doctor to make sure wearing compression socks is safe for you, but if you’re curious, here are some points to consider.

Risks of Flying

Our bodies are designed to move throughout the day; it’s important for keeping our blood circulation flowing and muscles from becoming stiff. When we sit for long periods in a cramped position such as during flights with minimal legroom, blood can start to pool in the feet and legs, leading to discomfort and swelling in the feet and ankles. In serious cases, slowed circulation can lead to blood clots.

Levels of Compression

The level of compression you’ll need will depend on factors including how long your flight is and if you have any specific health risks to consider. If you have a long flight and are someone with an already increased risk for blood clots due to poor circulation, you’ll probably need a firmer compression.

Cost

The cost of compression socks will depend on a few factors: the brand, material, and level of compression. More affordable pairs are available over the counter at most drug stores for as little as $10, though medical-grade socks can cost upwards of $100.

]]> One of the most difficult aspects of distance travel is the jet lag we typically experience as a result of flying across time zones. While there’s no substitute for letting your body naturally adjust to the time difference once you’ve arrived at your destination, getting some shuteye on the plane can help.

To make sleep during our flights easier and more comfortable, we always make sure to bring eye masks in our carry-on bags. Some airlines do offer eye masks to passengers for long flights, but we find they’re not usually very comfortable and don’t always fit. If you fly often, it can definitely be worth investing in one of your own. Here are some of our favorites:

Manta Sleep Mask

Manta claims that they’ve made the world’s comfiest 100% blackout mask, and after trying it, we have to agree. It’s made of super soft modal fabric and is completely adjustable to fit any size head, so you can say goodbye to those annoying elastic straps.

Lunya Weighted Sleep Mask

If you’ve ever tried a weighted blanket, you know how comforting the slight pressure they’re designed to provide can be, and weighted eye masks work similarly. This mask is filled with glass beads and can help soothe anxiety so you can get some rest. It’s made from a super soft silk and comes in 3 different colors.

Dreamlight Muse

Tune out your surroundings both visually and audibly with this blackout mask with a built-in Bluetooth player. You can listen to music or even white noise to block out any noisy neighbors without having to figure out how to wear your headphones under your mask. Just be sure to take out the power bank before throwing it in the wash.

]]> As much as we want to look put together while traveling, it can be tricky to find pieces that can stand up to the journey of being dragged through airports and toted around cities and still look chic in the process. With bags, in particular, we’ve often found that we need to choose between ones that suit our taste and ones that are actually capable of holding all of our possessions as we spend time walking around and exploring.

Fortunately, though, the days of having to choose between style and function are behind us. We love to use backpacks when we travel, and we’ve found a few that suit all of our practical needs without compromising on style in the process.

Everlane Renew Transit Backpack

This bag checks all of our boxes when it comes to what we’re looking for in a travel backpack. It’s comfortable, waterproof, and has 7 pockets, so it’s big enough to carry everything we need for a flight. We also love that it’s made with recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly option.

Herschel Retreat Backpack

Herschel is our favorite brand for bags when we’re looking for something classic and durable, and their retreat bags are no exception. They’re made in several different sizes, so you can choose the one that best suits how much space you need during travel. Some of the color options are also made with recycled materials.

Lululemon City Adventure Backpack

What we love most about this backpack (aside from how comfortable it is) is its versatility. It has plenty of pockets to help keep you organized and even a separate compartment for dirty clothes, which is helpful at the gym but can also come in handy for travel.
