What Are Some Travel Accessories for Your Next Trip? 

If you’re gearing up for your next adventure, there are a few accessories you’ll definitely want to take with you. Here are our top recommendations for travel accessories that will make your next trip that much more enjoyable. 

1. Compression Packing Cubes 

Do you find your suitcase becomes one big jumbled mess? Say adios to chaos and hello to organizational bliss with compression packing cubes. They really can be a game-changer when it comes to packing your clothing. 

The cubes keep everything neatly in order and ensure you get the most out of the space. Place your clothing in the cubes, zip them up, and voilà – you've got a lot of extra room if you want to buy a new item (or two) on your trip. Look for a cube set with different size options and durable zippers. 

2. Power Bank

Running out of battery is a nightmare when traveling. Bringing a power bank in your duffel can be a lifesaver. Are there no available places to plug in? Is the plane charging port not working? Has the car charger shorted out on your road trip? 

Your portable charger keeps power flowing to your phone, tablet, laptop, or other gadgets, no matter what predicament you find yourself in. Many of these power banks can recharge several devices without being recharged. Choose an option with various adapters, converters, and USB ports. Some come with built-in Apple/iPhone, USB-C, and USB-Micro cables. They're sleek and easy to slip into a side pocket for easy access. 

3. Hanging Toiletry Bag

Do you find it hard to organize your toiletries? Do you have several zip-locks and mini bags to fit everything? Switch to a hanging toiletry bag to keep everything in one place on the go. 

The bag unfolds to reveal the clear sections and hangs up wherever you are. It lets you see everything you have, so you don't need to rummage through your suitcase. The multiple compartments allow you to separate your toothbrush from your shampoo. If something spills, it will only get on some of your toiletries since it's contained. No mess, no fuss. 

4. Mini Fragrance Bundle

Everyone wants to smell incredible at all times, and traveling doesn't mean you have to leave your favorite scents at home. Mini fragrances are compact and ideal for slipping into your purse or carry-on. You'll be able to freshen up after a long day of traveling or when you're getting ready for a night out.

Snif fragrance bundles are a fantastic option for traveling and testing new scents. OurMini Bestseller Bundle comes with three 10ml travel-size fragrances, perfect for trips when you can’t decide which scents to bring or are short on space. The fragrances are some of the most beloved: tart deco, sweet ash, and way with woods. You can also opt tobuild your own fragrance bundle and choose the three scents you’re most eager to try.

That said, we always like to note that all of our fragrances are TSA-friendly — including our full-sized scents.

5. Noise-Canceling Headphones

There's nothing worse than being in a noisy space when you're trying to get some shut-eye or unwind. Noise-canceling headphones can create peace and quiet in any environment. These headphones (or earbuds) will allow you to be in your own sound bubble. 

You can use them to listen to music, watch a movie, or relax in silence. Slide them over your ears and put your surroundings on mute. 

6. Travel Toiletry Bag

Keep your toiletries together and organized with a travel toiletry bag. These bags are made to keep your essentials in one place, from skincare to haircare. Choose a toiletry bag with multiple compartments and a zipper to keep everything safe and spill-free. It's great for the gym or overnight stays, not just on vacation! 

7. Reusable Water Bottle

Staying hydrated while traveling is crucial for staying fresh and ready for anything. Packing a reusable water bottle is a sure way to guarantee you'll be able to fill up on the go. Plus, it's an eco-friendly option that helps reduce plastic waste.

The key is finding a durable and leak-proof bottle. Look for options with insulation to keep your drinks cold or hot. You may also want to find one with a carabiner so you can hook it to the outside of your bag. You'll be able tostay hydrated on every adventure. 

8. Luggage Tags

The airline losing your bags or not being able to spot them can be a hassle. Get stylish, sturdy tags so everyone will be able to identify your bags. It's a little accessory but a must for every traveler. You don't want a cheap option that can be easily damaged or ripped off. 

A high-quality tag with a secure attachment and a clear window for your contact information is the way to go. You can even invest in a tag with RFID tracking capabilities so you always know where your luggage is located. Travel worry-free, knowing your bags are always identifiable. 

9. Eye Mask

Bring an eye mask on any trip to achieve uninterrupted rest. These masks are the easiest way to block light and distractions. Whether you're on an overnight flight or trying to squeeze in a nap during daytime travels, a sleep mask helps create darkness. It can help you sleep better, which is crucial to keeping you healthy and alert while on the go. 

Select a mask made from soft, breathable materials for ultimate comfort. They also come with adjustable straps to ensure a snug fit without being too loose or tight. 

10. Neck Pillow

​​Have you ever watched someone's head bobbing around as they drifted off? Maybe they lean on their neighbor during their slumber. Use a neck pillow to avoid waking up on a stranger or with a stiff neck. 

These travel pillows are made to support your neck and head while sleeping upright, so you can relax more easily on planes, trains, or cars. There are memory foam and inflatable options that fit your neck's shape for ultimate comfort during overnight trips or international travel. Choose one with washable covers and compact designs to make it packable and easy to carry. 

11. Earplugs

Earplugs are another great option for blocking out noise. They can come in handy when your noise-canceling headphones die or when you want a more compact option. They create a barrier against unwanted sound, whether you're at a loud concert or trying to get work done in a busy hotel lobby or cafe. 

Look for comfortable and hypoallergenic options that fit your ears without causing discomfort. There are disposable earplugs for one-time use or reusable silicone or wax earplugs. 

12. Travel Makeup Mirror

Stay flawless on the fly with a travel makeup mirror. These compact mirrors are handy for doing makeup and touch-ups on the go. They’re lightweight, and some even have magnification options and LED lighting — plus, they can easily fit into your purse, carry-on, or toiletry kit. 

Look for mirrors with protective cases to prevent smudges and scratches to the mirror. You'll be ready to walk off the plane right to an event, meeting, or dinner.
