There are a handful of must-haves for every trip: you need a suitcase, you need your passport, you need a toothbrush. Otherwise, it is all up to the individual. Depending on where the trip is taking you, a number of accessories will need to be added to your packing list in order to keep you and your stuff organized and ready for anything that comes your way.
It can be incredibly difficult to decide what to bring — we under and overpack all the time. With this in mind, we decided to make a list of the best travel accessories you can bring to ensure you get the most out of your adventures.

Travel Watch

Seager Wilson Snapback
Seager’s adventure-ready gear is perfect for setting out, regardless of where you’re going. We love a sun hat or a bucket hat for an adventure, but this is more versatile and travel-ready.

Travel Toiletry Bottles
$13.00
Matador FlatPak Toiletry Bottle
Don’t get stuck breaking TSA rules with big bottles of soap and lotion. These pack down infinitesimally small once you’ve used them up.

Hand Sanitizer
$10.00
Aesop Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash
You carried hand sanitizer before the pandemic, so you should probably continue to do so. This is an elevated take on hand sanitizer that won’t break the bank — or your skin.

Noise-Cancelling Headphones
$278.00 (21% off)
Sony WH-1000XM4
Crying babies, typing professionals, growling dogs. No matter which way you’re traveling, blocking out the noise is a must for maintaining sanity.

TSA-Friendly Multi Tool
$7.00
Gerber Shard
You don’t want your multi-tool getting confiscated at security. The Shard from Gerber has a handful of tools that you’ll use every day but is still travel-friendly because it lacks a blade.

Apple AirTag
Keep an eye on all of your bags, or whatever you want to keep the location of, all from your phone. Apple’s newest tech doesn’t ship until June, but if you can wait, they’re worth copping.

Portable Charger
$40.00
Aukey USB C Power Bank
You definitely don’t want to be stuck without power. This is one of our favorite portable chargers thanks to its small, but mighty stature.

$95.00
LARQ Bottle PureVis
You want to be able to fill up at any tap and have confidence that you can safely drink the water. This bottle is a bit on the pricey side, but you can’t put a value on peace of mind.

Hip o Sling Pack
$65.00

Camelbak MultiBev Water Bottle & Travel Cup
Normally we love a simple mug, but when headed on a trip we love the versatility of the Camelbak MultiBev. This insulated water bottle keeps drinks warm or cold and has a detachable cup for easy drinking.
