#1 Noise Canceling Headphones

In this day and age of ultra-long-haul flights that are 18 hours or more, a crying baby could ruin your sleep schedule for days. The solution, noise canceling headphones. Not only has the noise cancelation gotten better over the years, but the sound quality of headphones has also improved. My preferred pair of headphones is the Beats Studio 3s, although I know how people love the Bose QuietComfort 35s. If you are not a fan of headphones and enjoy in-ear headphones, I highly recommend the new AirPods Pro. They help tune out the sound while still being lightweight and in-ear.

#2 Away Bigger Carry-On Suitcase

Ever since I first laid hands on the Away Bigger Carry-On, I have loved it. It fits perfectly in the overhead bin and is compact, but holds a lot of clothes. The wheels slide smoothly and its compression system allows you to pack 2 weeks of clothes. It has a zipper lock that is extremely easy to use and a built in battery pack that allows me to charge my phone multiple times. Without a doubt, this is the suitcase that I would recommend for any traveler and it is a perfect holiday gift. Lastly, if you sign up for the American Express Green Card before January 15th, you can get a $100 credit towards an Away purchase. If you use the link below you can get $20 off your first purchase.

#3 Mavic Mini

The Mavic Mini is a great drone and addition to any traveler’s bag. Don’t let its size fool you. It has a 2.7k camera and has up to 4km of range, not to mention a 30 minute flight time. The Mavic Mini easily fits into any backpack and is capable of amazing aerial photos. Although the Mavic Mini is one of the pricier items on this list, compared to other drones at this price, it wins in comparison.

#4 Moccasins

Just over a year ago I designated a pair of furry moccasins as my travel shoes. From the time I leave my house, to the time I arrive at my destination, my feet are in heaven. They are extremely soft and comfortable. They are the best shoes for long plane rides and if you do not have expedited security, they are easy to take off and put back on. Some people may deem them slippers, but I wear them everywhere. With a rubber sole, there’s no reason not to spend all day walking around in them at home or while you are out and about.

#5 Packing Cubes

Just about every traveler wishes that they could pack more into their suitcase when they go on a trip. Most people end up shoving all their clothes into their suitcase, and when they get there, they can never find what they need. Packing cubes are a great solution to this problem. When you want to quickly get something out of your bag, you often end up making a mess, unless you have packing cubes. These keep things well organized, prevent you from making a mess of your belongings, and allow you to take more items with you. Fabulous!
