Keep the rest of your luggage from smelling like stinky shoes with these monogrammed travel shoe bags.

Fast-Drying Microfiber Travel Towels

Can’t beat these fast drying towels good for so many uses when you travel. I use it for a quick hair dry and for squeezing the moisture out of washed clothes before I hang them to dry.

This infinity scarf with hidden pockets is one of our favorite gifts for frequent travelers because it is stylish and functional, all at the same time.  Use it to keep important things like money, keys and passport accessible yet out of sight.

It comes in many colors and is a nice accessory that you can mix and match with various outfits.

Compression Socks

Who says compression socks need to be boring? These are not your grandmother’s compression socks. They come in all sorts of fun designs and colors so you can do your next long-haul flight in style.

Laundry Detergent Sheets

If you’re familiar with my Tips to Save Money While Traveling, then you know that avoiding hotel laundries is one of the biggest money savers.  These laundry detergent sheets make it that much easier.  No need to carry bottles of detergent with these eco-friendly yet effective detergent sheets. Just add water, and voila!

Disinfecting Wipes

Airplanes are one of the dirtiest environments you can find yourself in. Use these to wipe down table trays or even your hands when soap and water aren’t available.  These disinfecting wipes are good for so many things.  Believe me, you will find yourself in many situations where you will wish you had some.

Collapsible Silicone Water Bottles

Staying hydrated is key to maintaining your health when you travel. These silicone water bottles roll up when not in use.
