Must have travel essentials

The travel season is among us, and for those that travel frequently, I am sharing my top 4 travel must-have items.  These items will work for overnight stays, weekend getaways, cruises, and more.

The first item is the Potty Cover. I got this last year when I traveled abroad because you never know what you are going to run into. The thing I liked about this cover is that it is larger than the standard covers and it is great for potty training (for the mothers/fathers)!

Must-have travel essential #2: Ebags packing cubes

I love these things! I can never make up my mind on what I actually want to wear on a trip. So, of course, I need multiple options each day. With the packing weight limits imposed by planes and ships, I get away with it by using my packing cubes. I'm using my large cube now, and it is holding 13 articles of clothing, 5 undergarments, and 2 pairs of sandals. The medium sized cube typically holds between 6-9 items. The small and slim sized cubes are good for toiletries, shoes, and souvenirs you may pick up. *They are available in many colors and patterns.

Must have travel essential #3: Travel Sleep Sack

I have one of these for over 2 years now, and it is one of the best purchases I've made with travel. Great to use when traveling overnight to someone's house, of course hotels, or when you just don't want to share bed space with someone! Anyway, for you that are allergic to detergents or worried about bed bugs, this is a must have for you!

Must have travel essential #4: Wireless Charger

It is a good idea to have a wireless charger for your cell phone. You never know when you will need to have some power to make contact with loved ones. This device is not only a charger, but it also is a bluetooth speaker, and allows you to use it as a speaker phone. A fully charged device can power up multiple devices. Click here to see a demo of how the device works.

Hopefully these items will help you on your next trip. Happy packing!
