3. Scale back your travel load with this portable digital scale that'll keep your luggage in check the next time you travel. And its compact size means you can take it with you on the road!
4. Wrap yourself up in this handmade Himalayan cashmere blanket that can be used as a cozy scarf, a luxe throw, or even a meditation rug. I've used this blanket in freezing airplanes, as an extra layer during chilly fall mornings, or as a full-on scarf come winter. It rolls up pretty small, so tucking it into my purse or carry-on is easy!
5. Drift off to sleep feeling like royalty with this mulberry silk eye mask, even if you're stuck in coach. It's naturally hypoallergenic, unbelievably soft, and extremely flexible to prevent unpleasant pinching or squeezing.

12. Drown out of the chaos (and any crying babies) with these wireless Bluetooth earbuds. They'll stay put no matter how many terminals you're sprinting through, and stop you from constantly getting tangled in headphone cables.
13. Keep your mane looking fabulous (no matter how many timezones you cross) with this vibrating hair straightener.

20. Cut back on single use plastics you're on the go with this beautiful three-piece set of stainless steel flatware. It's also great for having on hand when you're camping!
21. Keep your fangs looking fantastic with this Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush that lasts for two weeks on a single charge. It'll be way more effective than those travel-sized toothbrushes for sale at the airport! It even comes with a compact charging base to keep you topped up (you know, just in case).
22. Save your luggage from ending up in the lost and found with this set of five PVC luggage tags. They're so funky that it's unlikely anyone will mistakenly grab your suitcase, and are lightweight enough that you won't have to stress about the baggage weight limit.
