If you’re like me, I feel like I have an Amazon shipment coming to my house every other day. My bank account is like “please stop” but that “Add to Cart” button just keeps calling my name! Now, I’m sure you’ve read a ton of articles like this, that call out “must-have travel essentials.” My list is a bit more unique… travel essentials that, maybe, you didn’t really think of, but will definitely want for your next trip!

Luggage Cup Holders with Organizer

Such a simple accessory, but something I can’t live without now. I love to travel with a reusable tumbler and if I see a Starbucks in the airport, it’s always my first stop. Trying to juggle holding a bottle of water or coffee cup, along with your luggage, is a struggle. This is a game changer! This accessory has two different size cup holders that are adjustable, and an extra storage/organization pocket on the other side. Highly recommend!

Portable Carbon Monoxide Gas CO Detector

Having a portable carbon monoxide detector is a must-have if you travel a lot – whether it’s staying at hotels internationally, or even just AirBnBs. Surprisingly, a lot of places these days do not have carbon monoxide detectors, which is why we hear about the horrible deaths of travelers from time to time in the news. This is a portable solution that will keep your mind at ease. While it’s a bit pricey, I think its value is essential. This isn’t a “nice to have” travel accessory – it’s a NEED to have!

Scarf or Hat Clip

This is a small, but necessary travel accessory! I have a few of these clips on various handbags and travel totes and they are sturdy enough to hold baseball hats, large sun hats and scarfs. They come in a bunch of different colors.

2 Pack Portable Door Lock

This is another safety travel essential that I can’t travel without. It should go without saying why this is an essential! This two-pack portable door lock system is a great accessory to have and works with most hotel and house doors. The extra piece of mind is IT FOR ME. This also makes for a great gift – an accessory that I purchase for all of my friends and family!

Electronic and Cable Organizer

I use to be someone that would shove all of my cables and power adapters in a large zip lock plastic bag, and call it a day. But when I found this cable organizer that actually was durable, compact and small, I couldn’t go back to the zip lock bag. This organizer has just the right amount of small and large compartments. The large ones are perfectfor bigger items such as a Mophie Portable Charger or Laptop power adapter. When zipped, it doesn’t take up much space at all and still is lightweight.
