Travel Scarf with Hidden Pocket

The Travel Scarf with a Hidden Pocket is absolutely my favorite travel accessory ever! This infinity scarf can be worn as a scarf, as a wrap and as a head covering for religious sites or simply protection from the sun. Add in the fact you can hide your passport and other valuable inside it (great for people like me who don’t like pockets!) and you’ve got a serious piece of travel kit!

Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer

For the women that simply can’t travel without a hairdryer, the Dyson Supersonic has reinvented the wheel. Weighing in at only 2 pounds (that’s less than 1kg!) and with lightening fast drying speeds, if there ever was a hairdryer perfect for travel – this is it!

Beach Bag

Plus it has an inside zip pocket to put your valuables in the keep them protected from the sand that’s inevitably going to find its way inside the bag!

Cashmere Wrap

Another great travel accessory is the cashmere wrap – perfect as an extra layer on the plane, as a modesty layer in religious sites, and a stylish accessory when you want to dress up an outfit! It also packs down to nothing and so doesn’t take up too much space in your bag – and makes for a great scarf even when you’re not traveling.

Wheelie Case

A nice solid hand luggage case. 4 wheels are the new 2 wheels – and are much better for your body. The 4 wheels allow the case the glide seamlessly and put less pressure on your wrists and joints. We also recommend you consider getting a $10 luggage scale to ensure you never pay extra for overweight luggage!

Foldable Duffel Bag

Available in a variety of colours, the Trip Inspra Foldable Duffel Bag is the perfect ’emergency bag.’ Packing down to practically nothing, it gives you an extra 40L of space- whenever you need it. As an extra bag on the plane, as a day-pack, a grocery bag, or a storage bag if leaving stuff in a locker or a hostel whilst you take a trip for which you have limited space.

The Lifeproof Case is the best investment you could make in terms of protecting your phone and lets you pack your tech on all your adventures, keeping you connected every soggy, snowy, muddy, dusty step of the way.

A Selfie Stick

I’m not the biggest fan of Selfie’s myself, but it seems like as a society we just can’t get away wanting our face in front of incredible places around the world. If you’re of the ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’ contingent, this multi-functional selfie stick with remote is just what you’re looking for.

A Travel Inspired Water Bottle

There are plenty of travel water bottles out there on the market these days. From insulated ones, BPA-free, metal, the list is practically endless – but I am big fan of the collapsible water bottle. Space saving and practical, its the perfect travel companion.

Luggage Tag

Gone are the days where the person at the check in desk would give you a thickened piece of card to attach to your bags and write your name on. Luggage tags are a great way to label your bag without being too obtrusive. You can even get funky ‘holiday’ themed ones like the above. Perfect as a ‘stocking stuffer’ kind of gift for any traveler (and if you need a practical stocking stuffer – compression socks are the way to go!)

TRTL Travel Pillow

Everyone likes to be comfortable when trying to get a couple of hours of shut eye on the plane, but the TRTL Travel Pillow is an absolute game changer and the mother of all neck pillows. Scientifically proven to support your neck and aid sleep, this combo pack also comes with ear plugs and a silk eye mask to help you level up your sleeping on planes time.

Travel Insurance 

I highly recommend that every traveler has travel insurance. If you can afford to travel – you can afford travel insurance.

Universal Travel Adapter

With this universal travel adapter you’ll be able to charge your devices whichever country or electronic region you might find yourself in. You’ll never have to go ask reception if they have a spare adapter again!

UV Toothbrush Sanitizer

If your traveling through hostels, camping in the outback – or are likely to be in other shared bathroom facility – you never know the germs you’re going to come across. Keep your toothbrush a germ-free zone by using a UV Sanitizer which kills 99.9% of Bacteria and Viruses. Not the most glamorous of gifts – this one is definately practical!
