If You’re Traveling This Year, Here Are 10 Items You Should Pack.

1 – digital luggage scale

A digital luggage scale can help ease your worries about your bag being overweight . This way, you won’t have to awkwardly rearrange your things at the airport for everyone to see. Maybe this is just a fear I have…😳

You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements.

Positive feedback : ” I bring it with me on all my travel. If you are toing to carry it with you and place it in betheen all your cables and chargers like me, the only recommendation I have is to take the battery off when you are not using it. Since I have it bouncing around my backpack/carry on, the on/off button keeps turning the device on, draining the battery. I now take the battery off and place the battery in a side pocket. Problem solved! Great Handy product! ” _ Rigoberto Garcia

2 – portable door lock

A portable door lock is essential for solo travelers or those seeking extra security. It’s simple to use, fits most doors, and is compact for easy carrying in a bag

Note: This item may attract attention at security, so it’s best to place it in a convenient spot in your checked luggage to avoid any issues.”

Positive feedback : Ace Mining Portable Door Lock is a reliable security device that I used on my recent trip. Though it was a little tricky to use at first, the package included clear instructions which helped me to install it correctly. Once I had it in place, I tested it and found that the door could not be moved. This gave me peace of mind while staying alone in the motel for multiple nights. However, I should note that the plastic may snap if the lock is subjected to excessive pressure while installing or removing it. Overall, I found this travel lockdown lock to be an effective and convenient solution for added security._ Anita O.

3 – anti-theft backpack

An anti-theft backpack has its main zipper located on the inside, against your back while using it. This feature provides added security in crowded or unfamiliar places, ensuring that no one can easily unzip it without your knowledge.

Positive feedback : I just received this bag, and I’m so impressed I had to leave a review. It really is a nice looking bag, and the size is perfect. Just enough for all your everyday essentials, and maybe even some more. The quality of the bag seems good, the zippers all look well made and work great. The hidden zipper side pockets will be great to throw those items in you want to quickly access, like phone and keys. I didn’t think I’d like the fluffy little attached Keychain, but it’s actually cute, not too much fluff and just adds a little extra style. It doesn’t bother me, but as some other reviews mentioned it may be made of real fur so take note if that’s a concern. Also, as others mentioned it was a nice added touch that it showed up with a scented sachet and smelled good, not that funky smell like some new bags can sometimes have.

4 – Sleeping Mask

This sleeping mask is designed with extra space for your eyes, allowing them to move without pressure. It blocks out light completely, helping you get some rest during your flight and avoid jet lag upon arrival.

Positive feedback : As someone who’s perpetually on the quest for the perfect night’s sleep, I’ve journeyed through countless remedies and gadgets, but nothing has quite matched the transformative experience provided by the MZOO Sleep Eye Mask. This isn’t just another addition to my nighttime routine; it has become the cornerstone of achieving deep, uninterrupted sleep.

5 – charging port

An Anker charging port with six USB ports allows you to charge all your devices simultaneously using just one outlet. It comes in handy when you have limited outlets in inconvenient locations in your room.

Positive feedback : The Anker USB charger is compact and fast-charging. Solid build with a protective internal safety switch built in. Can support up to 6 devices. One improvement would be to have 1 or 2 USB-C ports since many devices today come with USB-C cables. Also, it would be great if the power cord was slightly longer. Otherwise, a great and affordable product! _SW

6 – travel wallet

A travel wallet with RFID-blocking material to help keep your travel documents organized and secure. This ensures your important papers are easily accessible when you need your ID quickly at the TSA checkpoint.”

Positive feedback : I didn’t think it was necessary to get such a big wallet just for travel and debated for a while, but finally got it for my Japan trip, and it made my trip much more organized! They make you keep your passport with you at all times in Japan, so this kept it tucked away safely. There are a bunch of pockets to organize everything you might need- cash, receipts, tickets. I kept my suica card, JR pass for the trains, credit card, ID, priority pass, and global entry card in the slots and had easy access to them all. The zipper pocket was great for all the coins (which you get a LOT of in Japan). This wallet really kept everything easy to find. The color and quality for the price is great. I imagine it wouldn’t hold up to daily use in the long run, but it still looks great after my trip. The only thing I didn’t like was how big it is and it took up a lot of space in my purse, but that was also kind of the point, I guess. Not sure that can be helped. It’s just slightly larger than a normal “mom wallet”. Overall I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it for anyone going on an international trip! _wheatbix

7 – LED neck reading light

Wear this light around your neck to read a book without disturbing others who are asleep nearby. It’s a total game-changer!

Positive feedback : I bought one to lead our candlelight prayer services at church. Then my pastor wanted one. Now others are asking for one! There are several settings for light options, but I need to turn only one side on to read in the dark, thus it saves on the battery. It is easy to recharge, very lightweight and comfortable. I bought a case from Amazon that is made specifically for this light, so I do not have to worry about the light getting turned on by accident. Easy to direct the light where you need it. I do not recommend it for wiggley toddlers because it will not stay put around your neck then. I bought it in more than one color so I know which one is MINE! _ L. Larson

8 – Mini Belt Bag

A Mini Belt Bag that appears stylish and is crafted from neoprene fabric, making it versatile for dressing up or down. It’s compact enough to carry your essentials while you explore all the must-see attractions.

Positive feedback : Truly something this small and this simple has been a purchase that has made me so happy! I love everything about this little bag!
It’s well made, lightweight, practical and adorable! It has zippers and pockets I wasn’t expecting and did not know I needed. The price is fantastic and I’ll be ordering several more in different colors. A fabulous buy! _anna j.

9 –   iPhone portable charger

A small iPhone portable charger that doesn’t require a cord to operate. Just plug your phone into the dock to recharge it after using up the battery taking lots of pictures. Plus, you can charge the dock while it charges your phone!

Positive feedback : This portable charger recharges my phone fairly quickly and the battery lasts a while. It’s nice and sleek and clean looking. Overall a good purchase and a good price. The only issue is that it’s a bit bulky _Dona B

10 – Soap Sheets for Traveling

Keep some laundry soap sheets handy for when you run out of clean clothes during an extended trip.

Positive feedback : I purchased these for travel, just in case. My travel partner spilled coffee all over their shorts before our flight. By the time I was able to get these shorts in some water this this laundry soap, the coffee had dried. I used about half of the laundry sheets in this pack in a sink with water. The coffee stain came out completely. We were both very thankful that we had this detergent to use. Great product. _Karen
