We are constantly on the lookout for the best travel accessories to make all our lives just a bit easier. Here are a few that you might want to add to your bag on your next trip.

It’s All About Comfort 

NapAnywhere Neck Pillow  Suggest Retail $59.00

I know,  I know…not another neck pillow. We’re all tired of trying just about anything to help us get a comfortable sleep while traveling. Yet we have so many restrictions. I don’t want to carry something bulky, I don’t want to blow something up, etc. The NapAnywhere pillow may just be your new solution. It packs flat and is super light and fits into a backpack or purse. You mold it to your perfect position and presto, you’re in dreamland.

WaterPura Baby Wipes Suggested Retail started at $3.99

Do you carry baby wipes with you when you travel for a quick freshen or clean up? Did you ever look at the ingredients? Probably not. You’d be surprised what’s in them. These chemical-free WaterPura natural baby wipes are 99.9% water and 0.1% citrus extract. Developed by a Mom whose child had extremely sensitive skin these wipes have been tried and tested.

My Favorite topic – Compression Socks!

Everyone knows that I highly recommend travel compression socks to everyone who’s flying. Heck, I also wear them on those long walkabouts in Paris trying to find the perfect baguette. And no trade show convention floor will be touched by my feet unless I have on my compression socks. They reduce swelling, help support your feet and back, and are essential for helping deter blood clots while traveling, no matter what your age. Here are just a few that caught my eye.

Travelsox Designed for Women Suggest Retail $25.00

Although I’ve tried them all I keep coming back to Travelsox. I love their support and now they’re making them more “lady-friendly” with cute designs. Made in Italy these compression socks are worth every penny.

Lilly Trotter Compression socks suggested retail price $48.00

Although I’m a staunch Travelsox fan, a girl has to have variety in socks, right? Lily Trotters have comfortable and stylish compression socks for ladies. Lots of styles and colors to choose from so find the ones that make you smile.

Zensah Ankle Support Sleeve  suggested retail price $14.99

If you’re looking for a little more ankle support and compression try the Zensah ankle compression sleeve. The folks at Zensah have been making high-quality compression for years for athletes so you know they know what they’re doing. This ankle sleeve gives you support while still providing a full range of motion.

Water bottles. We take them with us when we travel. It’s typically very easy to fill an empty water bottle at any airport in the USA once you get past the security check. This saves on those darn plastic water bottles and saves a few bucks as well. Here are two water bottles we recently tested.

GSI Glacier Stainless Microlite 500 Suggested Retail Price $29.95

This is by far one of the lightest water bottles we’ve tried. It’s sleek and thin and fits into just about any backpack or bag water bottle spot. The push-button flip-top cap stays closed while not in use and flip up for ease of drinking. It’s vacuum-insulated and keeps beverages hot for 8 hours and cold for 16. I can also tell you that unfortunately my wife dropped this bottle on one of our first adventures with it but it still doesn’t leak and works like a charm. She says that the scratch on the top makes it look more distinguished. I’m not convinced about that but I do love this water bottle and still use it regularly.

    We love travel accessories as gifts! Thanks for stopping by Alison.

  2. So many great products, where to begin? I think my first investment should be a RFID blocking sleeve. Then I would choose to upgrade my compression socks for these cute ones. Thanks for the great ideas, maybe I can get my holiday list together so it would be early enough to help my fam this year!

    Hi Patti! Compression socks for women have come so far – much cuter than what are Mom’s had to wear! 😀

    As I mentioned, I’m a HUGE fan of compression socks. I hope you find a pair that you like. Let us know how it goes.

    Thanks, Cat! We think you’d really get good use out of both of them.

  13. That Napanywhere neck pillow looks so comfy – definitely a must have for long-haul flight! The RFID-Blocking Card Sleeve seems super handy too!

  14. The list has a few interesting things and believe it or not , only yesterday I was searching online stores for decent compression socks, I am sure the kids will love the attractive and colorful tumblers.

  15. Im a big fan of those silicon rubber tubes. Really great for storing liquid toiletries and also hassle free at the airport security line!

  16. What a fabulous list. The compression socks was quite a discovery. These are extremely useful products and I agree with most of their utilities! 🙂

  17. Chrysoula

    These are some great ideas and I loved especially the Vin guard valise. It comes really handy after a trip to Italy with all these amazing wines.

  18. That nap anywhere Neck Pillow is all that I need. That’s a brilliant item and perfect for someone like me who always nap during flights and land travel. Will check it out!

  19. The wine suitcase is outstanding. I’d looked at another brand in the past. Also, I like the computer pocket in the spinner suitcase. So good when you’re looking just to carry on.

  20. You’ve discovered some great products for interesting travel needs. I think I like that napping pillow much better than the ones I usually see because it doesn’t take up much space. I do use silicon travel bottles for my shampoo and conditioner — you’re right! They never leak!
