Holiday Gift Guide for Travelers

Are you searching for the perfect gift for someone that loves to travel? Don’t worry I have you covered and I’ve got a list of all of the items that I can’t survive without on my trips. Traveling is exhausting but there are definitely ways to improve your flying experience with the following items.

1. A good neck Pillow. This will make or break your trip. I personally use the Trtl Neck Pillow. It is less bulky and provides the best positioning for me.
2. The next thing you need is reliable luggage. My personal favorite is the Samsonite Underseater. It comes on 4 wheels and is actually the size of a personal item. It fits so many things and I love it for when I’m being cheap and flying certain airlines that charge extra for carry on bags.
3. For those of you that prefer using back packs I personally use the Herschel backpack. Its stylish, roomy and even has a slot for your laptop.
4. The best thing you didn’t know you needed…. an Eye Mask. I literally don’t know how people sleep on planes without them. I always inevitably end up sitting next to some jerk that leaves the window shade up while they are sleeping. Flying has gotten so much better after using one of these.
5. Two years ago I bought these headphones on Amazon Prime Day and it is the best purchase I ever made. Noise Cancelling Headphones will let you sleep through that cranky toddler thats screaming on the top of their lungs.
6. You may be one of those lucky people that doesn’t experience ankle swelling on flights but I am not. My ankles look like tree trunks by the end of a long flight if I don’t wear compression socks. Even if your ankles don’t swell I would recommend wearing these to help improve circulation on long flights. Comrad socks have an amazing selection. Use my code MARSTRAVELSEARTH20 for 20% off.
7. Once I get out of an airport the first thing I do is throw on sunglasses. My exhausted, dehydrated, make up less face needs a disguise. My favorite pair are the Maho Cape Town Bengal. Use Mars10 for a discount.
8. Do you want to know how I keep my things organized when moving from city to city? Packing Cubes! These make a huge difference when it comes to organizing dresses, undergarments, pants, pajamas etc. You don’t have to rummage to the bottom of a suitcase to find that one tank top you need anymore. The packing cubes keep thing organized and help with packing and unpacking. I won’t leave home without them.

I own all of the items above and can personally say I love the all and take them with me on all of my trips. There are still a few things I have my eye on but have not bought yet. Here is my personal holiday wish list in case anyone is interested in sending me presents 😉

Packs Project – I am in love with how stylish and sleek this carry on is.

Passport Holder – I have been looking for the perfect wallet that will fit my passport, credit cards, cash and cell phone and just stumbled across this one today by Everlane.

Silk Pillowcase– I know, I know. I can just imagine people rolling their eyes at this but for those of you with curly hair you know a silk pillow case makes a huge difference. I have been eyeing this set from Slip forever. Does anyone have it? Is it amazing?
