Cool Travel Items: Travel Accessories That Make Trips Easier

Good travel days usually come down to small things: knowing where your passport is, packing fast, charging your phone, and getting some sleep on the plane. Our Cool Travel Items collection pulls together practical travel accessories you’ll actually use—whether you’re flying, road tripping, camping, or doing a long overseas trip.

How to choose the right travel accessories

Start with your pain point: messy suitcase, flat phone, sore neck, or “where’s my passport?” moments.
Go for multi-use: one item that solves two problems (like a lock with a cable, or a toiletry set with a clear bag).
Pack by zones: documents, clothing, toiletries, tech—then pick one organiser for each zone.
Keep it light: small gear that earns its space is better than “just in case” clutter.

Travel wallets & document holders

A solid travel wallet keeps the must-haves together: passport, boarding pass, cards, cash, SIM pin, and even a tiny pen. If you travel through busy airports or use tap-to-pay often, RFID wallets can add an extra layer of peace of mind.

Luggage tags, straps & covers

Luggage tags and luggage straps make your bag easier to spot at baggage claim, and they help reduce mix-ups—especially if your suitcase is a common colour. Tip: use a tag with a flap (so your address isn’t on display).

Packing cubes & organisers

Packing cubes are the easiest way to pack faster and unpack even faster. Use one cube per “type” (tops, bottoms, underwear) or per “day” if you’re moving around. They also help keep clean and worn clothes separate.

Travel pillows

A good travel pillow is about neck support, not bulk. Inflatable styles pack down small, while memory foam styles often feel better on long-haul flights. Pair one with an eye mask for easier sleep in bright cabins.

Travel adaptors & converters

A universal travel adaptor is a must for overseas trips. If you’re packing hair tools or older appliances, double-check whether you need a voltage converter (many modern chargers are dual voltage, but not all devices are).

Toiletry kits & travel bottles

Leak-proof travel bottles and a tidy toiletry bag save you from the classic “shampoo in the suitcase” disaster. For carry-on, choose travel-size bottles and keep liquids together so security checks are simple.

Safety & travel security

When you’re in crowded places (airports, stations, markets), simple travel security items help you relax—think TSA-style luggage locks, cable locks, and anti-theft options that reduce easy grab-and-go access.

Comfort accessories

Small comfort upgrades make a big difference on long trips. Add compression travel socks for flights, and pack an eye mask if you struggle to sleep with cabin lights.

Travel gadgets

Modern travel gadgets are all about staying powered, connected, and organised. Look for portable chargers, cable organisers, and travel-friendly tech that fits in your day bag.

FAQ

What are the best travel accessories for a long trip?

Start with packing cubes, a travel adaptor, travel-size bottles, and a travel wallet. Then add comfort items like a neck pillow and travel socks.

Do I need an RFID travel wallet?

If you carry contactless cards and travel through busy areas often, an RFID wallet can be a sensible extra layer. For many travellers, it’s a “nice to have” rather than a must.

How many packing cubes do I need?

Most people are set with 3–6 cubes: one for tops, one for bottoms, one for underwear/socks, plus one spare for laundry or shoes.

What’s the difference between a travel adaptor and a voltage converter?

An adaptor changes the plug shape. A converter changes the voltage. Many phone/laptop chargers don’t need a converter, but some appliances do—always check the label.
