There are several items that are useful for travel, making being on the move just that bit easier. These items can make great gifts, and are things I bring along with me on longer flights and trips.
Under $10, neck pillows provide a nice bit of support and small enough to carry on.
There are lots of different animal styles to make neck pillows even more special for kids.
Whether you call them eye shades, sleep shades, or a sleep mask, blocking out the airplane lights can at least give you a chance at a bit of shut eye on a flight.
These days if you want to lock your checked luggage, it is a good idea to get locks that are TSA approved.
So useful! I have a converter set and because I travel a lot internationally, I use it a lot. I just bring the adaptors that I need as they are labelled for the region of the world where you can use them.
There is much to be said for travel alarm clocks. They are inexpensive, and often have extra functions. This one not only has an alarm, but also displays the temperature and it even has snooze!
This travel iron is compact, inexpensive. If I am traveling and will need to wear business attire, I bring my own iron.
This is not a fanny pack! Waist wallets can get a little sweaty as you tuck it under your clothes, especially in hotter climes, but it can certainly give you a safer way to tote your cash and credit cards with you when you are visiting other countries.
