When it comes to travel, some things are absolute necessities. Like a suitcase or carryon bag, for example. Your passport. Toiletries in small enough containers to whiz through security. But then there’s the extras. These nice-to-have accessories may not rank as essential, but they will upgrade your experience by corralling your belongings neatly, letting you fit extra outfits in your bag, and helping you rest easy.
Toiletry Capsules
These next-gen toiletry containers are leakproof, TSA-compliant, and magnetic—plus they look awfully chic. Use them to keep your skincare routine going, no matter where you are… in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible. These capsules come in premade sets, or you can build your own set to suit your specific regimen. A rainbow of soothing spa-style colors helps you tell them apart.

Packing cubes are heralded by many a frequent traveler as the hands-down best way to fit the most clothes into your suitcase—and who are we to argue? This set, by the travel pros at Away luggage, compress and organize all your belongings into water-resistant nylon pouches with a mesh panel to help you see what’s inside without unraveling your carefully packed items. The set comes in groups of four or six, and they’re made specifically to fit the Away suitcases (though you can certainly use them in any suitcase you own!).

Whether for a long plane ride or a hotel or Airbnb room with less-than-adequate curtains, a room-blackening sleep mask is a must for peak beauty sleep. This super-soft one is both budget friendly and incredibly comfortable in mulberry silk, with an adjustable strap for a good fit. It comes in the standard version or an eye contour shape with molded cups to reduce pressure on the eyes.

Ostrich Travel Pillow
For longer flights or car rides, this travel neck pillow is a great choice for its ergonomic design and firm memory foam support. The soft, jersey cover is removable and machine washable. The extra support and comfort makes this one standout from the others… though perhaps not as much as Ostrich Pillow’s original cocoon style, an over the head style that’s pretty bonkers, but also pretty comfy.
