HEY GUYS- so, we leave town in 3 days & yes, I am a nervous wreck. Travelling is a huge anxiety trigger for me & it’s especially hard leaving after losing Bitzy, but I do think it will be a good distraction & will get me out of this very quiet house. Hopefully the grief can make room for some fun because we really have an amazing trip planned.
As I have been preparing for the trip, I have kept track of all the travel stuff I was buying of Amazon (because, Amazon is everything) & decided to share some of my best purchases so far. I am an Amazon addict, so I didn’t include everything I bought as it would be overwhelming AF. Also, grief induces A LOT of online shopping for me. It’s becoming a problem.
If you are planning a trip & want to see all my travel must-haves, check out my Travel Idea List on Amazon for the full list. Anything I buy in the next three days (love a time crunch) I will be sure to add to the list.
top 10 best travel accessories amazon
1. 7 piece packing cubes
I am totally procrastinating on packing, but I am excited to try out my new packing cubes. People RAVE about packing cubes & I already know I am going to overpack so I am really hoping these can keep me organized & really maximize my space.
2. universal power adaptor
I have a few universal power adaptors that I have acquired over the years, but this year it was time to upgrade. Mine are all SO HUGE. This one is compact, works with outlets in the USA/UK/EU/AUS. but the pest part- it’s got USB slots. Praise be. One less thing to keep track of.
3. silicone toothbrush cover
If you don’t have these for travel, ew ew ew. Sorry- but wrapping toilet paper around your toothbrush is not sufficient. You need one of these.
4. space saving airplane pillow
So apparently this is the new airplane pillow? There is a fancy expensive version, but of course Amazon has all of the dupes. I was concerned at first considering it looks like a neck brace, but honestly IT IS COMFY! I also love the fact I don’t have some huge ass awkward neck pillow hanging off my carry on.
5. hanging toiletry bag
I can’t travel without one of these. It makes my life so much easier when living the hotel life. Anyone will do, depending on your needs, but I personally love this one cause the idea of the bottles standing up would be super handy.
6. travel jewelry case
packing my jewelry is always the worst. My necklaces with a doubt get tangled & I really end up leaving them that way till I get home. This year, I want to wear my necklaces, so I got this handy af travel jewelry case.
7. portable battery
this is actually the best portable battery you can get. YOU NEED one of these if you’re travelling, last thing you want is to be stuck somewhere foreign with a dead phone. I actually have 3… just in case. This one though is my fave.
8. passport case
this is ridiculous, but a good looking passport cover is a great add on to a travel flatlay. This one is a great leather case with the RFID blocked which I need because I use my passport case as a wallet at the airport.
9. waterproof floating iPhone case
the picture above is different because that was actually the one I bought- but it oddly had three stars & very few reviews. IDK why I bought it. I am an avid reader of reviews & wouldn’t mess around with a waterproof phone case. I just bought this one instead. It seems like a way better option & it floats!
10. noise cancelling bluetooth headphones
I just had a friend recommend I get the Bose pair so I went to Amazon & they were $250. I can’t spend that much on something I will literally only use while flying. I don’t intend walking around in huge clunky noise cancelling headphones. My friend said not hearing airplane sounds helps with her anxiety so I searched high & low and found this pair that many people said were same if not better than the pricey Bose pair.
