Travel Top Picks 2026

Headphones – these are head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to battery life, noise canceling, and sound quality. Great for music, perfect for making calls, and it really does block any outside sounds. It fit my 9 year old and my husband. The headphones fold and the case is high quality and still sleek. The brown is SO chic, but they have other colors too. The price is impressive considering the quality too!

Travel pillow.

My whole family chose this one, and not just because it came with the phone holder, eye mask and ear plugs. We loved the memory foam fabric, the size, the bag it folds into for compact storage. You can pop it in your bag if you have room, wear it on your neck, of clip it to the outside of your carry on in the bag.

Personal item. But its actually a backpack, clutch, crossbody, and purse. See that leather pocket – that detaches and has straps to transform. It is just so smart. The luggage sleeve makes it perfect to slip on top of a rolling carry on for easy airport navigation. And the cup holders – the icing on the cake! Small woman owned company, BIG quality. SHOP HERE

Motion sickness solution. We tried them ALL. And when they don’t work in our family, the consequences are dire. This delivered on planes, in the back seat of cars, roller coasters, and on boats. SHOP HERE.
