I don’t know about you, but it seems like my friends and I are traveling more than ever, which makes it a great time to update your travel gear. So, I’m sharing 15 essential travel items that make travel easier! Whether you’re headed on a trip soon or whether you know others who will be traveling, these products will make travel way more enjoyable.
Shop Essential Travel Items:
I used to travel a ton for work, like 12+ trips a year for many years. I have traveled with some of the items in the picture above and others in the widget for YEARS, and they are so helpful for smoother travels.
This year, I traveled a bit more with our family and for work, going to Hong Kong, South Carolina, Austin TX, and Hawaii. Having travel gear that helps you pack efficiently and effectively makes all the difference. (Especially when you throw traveling with kids into the mix. OMG don’t even get me started on all the extra stuff you have to bring for them! 😵💫)
So, do yourself a favor and make sure you have these essentials travel items in your travel gear. And for the holidays, do your friends a favor and make sure they have the essentials, too!

Travel Outfit Ideas
By the way, if you need some travel outfit ideas, there are two in the collage above!
You can wear the comfy wide leg pants (HERE) + zip up sweatshirt (#1 above [HERE] is short enough to wear with wide leg pants, #2 above [HERE]) + either pair of sneakers (#8 HERE and #9 HERE).
You can also wear fleece lined flare leggings (HERE) + a zip up sweatshirt (#1 HERE and #2 HERE) + either pair of sneakers (#8 HERE and#9 HERE), which I’m wearing below!

These fleece lined leggings are SO cozy and COMFY! I got the leggings and the sweatshirt last January, so it’s almost been a year. At first, I wasn’t sure about the sweatshirt as it was a little thick, but now I love it so much that I recently bought a second one in black! This sweatshirt is really thick and cozy…probably my warmest one. Usually collars bug me, but this one doesn’t when it’s unzipped.
