Our Travel Must-Haves

Having the right travel essentials makes all the difference—so I decided to ask my team what they can’t travel without! These days, my vacations look a lot like packing more for my kids than for myself (can any parents relate?). Our family loves both beach escapes and quick trips to NYC, but I was curious to see what others are packing for adventures all around the globe. Here’s what made the list!
“I always travel with this portable charger, and I love that it comes with every cord I need. I don’t even have to bring a separate cord to charge it—it plugs right into the wall! It’s small enough to fit in a crossbody or small purse, making it perfect to keep on hand for long travel days and sightseeing.”
“The Tower28 SOS spray is my travel and everyday must have! It’s soothing and purifying and just what my skin needs after a long day of traveling, being outside and sweating or for just a quick refresh!
“I travel internationally a lot and this mini curling wand is my holy grail. I normally use a dyson airwrap at home, I prefer having my hair looking like a fresh blow-out. It’s a bummer that you can’t bring it to a lot of other countries because it will blow a fuse. This is the solution I have found since it is dual voltage. You just need to pair it with a power adapter. Gives the most beautiful wavy, flowy, bouncy curls! Bonus points that its extra small for tight spaced travel!”
“I bought this portable speaker a couple years ago when I went on a backpacking trip. I needed something that was small enough to fit in a very overpacked bag, but had loud, high quality sound. This speaker and I have a lot of memories together! I never travel without it — you never know when you need music to get ready with, or a day at the beach.”
“This is my newest travel find, a wrap up silk jewelry holder. I don’t carry too much jewelry — but I do carry a lot of necklaces. I was having a hard time with them getting tangled in a small jewelry box. This has 3 zip up compartments, and one large pouch. I throw my necklaces separate in zip ups, and my bracelets and earrings in the big pouch. I love that it folds up to be super thin and safe in the silky material.”
“A big splurge but WORTH IT! These are the best headphones ever – the first time I tried them, I actually gasped at the audio quality. The flights where I’ve forgotten these have been truly painful! Also by far the best noise cancelling feature of any headphone I’ve ever tried!”
“The perfect sunglasses case for someone obsessed with them like me. I believe sunglasses are the easiest way to accessorize and complete a vacation look. I love this case because it rolls up into an circle and is so easy to travel with, while keeping them safe and secure.”
“I love this makeup bag because when you un-zip, it lays flat so you don’t have to dig around for all of your needs. The leather quality has held up really well over the years. I also love the circular razor you see — it’s made for travel!”
“This magnetic hat holder is a genius invention. Say goodbye to the days of having to wear your hat in the airport to make sure it doesn’t get crumpled up. This easily clips or catches to a pocket on your tote or purse, and keeps your hat looking fresh. This was a no-brainer to get this for me!”
