Tumi Vapor Limited Edition International Carry-On
How fun is this limited edition luggage by Tumi featuring art by New York graffiti artist John "Crash" Matos? The hardside case and wheeled carry-on style make it a winner in my book.
Passport Cover in Tiffany Blue®
When traveling internationally, your passport is your most important travel document. A passport holder can help keep your all-important ID protected. Love this stylish holder by Tiffany & Co. in their signature color.
Heys Digital Touch Luggage Scale
Sick of paying overweight baggage fees? This compact digital touchscreen luggage scale will help you avoid those extra costs.
Han Luggage Tag
Strong luggage tags are important to ensure your bags are received safely at your final destination. Luggage tags can also set your luggage apart from the rest at the baggage claim. My pick is this darling elephant luggage tag by John Robshaw. The hand-printed fabric is so chic!
Solid Cashmere Throw
A cashmere throw is a great alternative to the blankets handed out on the plane.
Hanging Organizer
Packing and organizing your cosmetics and other toiletry items is essential, and the right bag can help tremendously. I prefer Vera Bradley's Hanging Organizer. It has multiple clear plastic compartments that make finding items easy. I love the beautiful fabric option too!
Inflight Bags
Make getting through airport security a breeze with these clever bags featuring playful sketch-art drawings. Beats the old Ziplock bags any day of the week!
I Was Here: A Travel Journal For The Curious Minded
Keeping a journal while traveling may not come naturally to some. This compact book makes noting your journey easy and fun. All details — no matter how small — are recorded, creating a comprehensive account of your travels. Makes a fabulous gift!
CitySlips Foldable Ballet Flats with Travel Case
Loving these chic, foldable travel ballet flats. Each shoe folds to fit neatly into a small pouch.
Earth Adapter
Traveling the world? You may consider packing one of these babies. It is an all-in-one adapter that fits power outlets in more than 150 countries. It also has a USB plug for charging mobile devices, so you can always phone home.
iPad Case
Devices like the iPad make long plane rides more bearable. Keeping an iPad protected is key during travel. This stylish padded canvas case is my choice!
Travel Stand - for iPhone & iPod
Loving this hands-free travel stand for the iPhone and iPod. It turns an airplane tray table into a mini movie theater.
Kidco PeaPod Lite Travel Tent
Traveling with little ones can pose the question of where they will sleep. This travel bed provides a safe place for your baby or young child to catch some Zs. The bed folds down in seconds, packs into a pouch and fits into most carry-on bags.
Travel Bag - Giraffe
Little ones need travel bags too. I love this one with long-legged giraffes. It is perfect for carrying their toys, snacks or extra clothing.
Travel Jewelry Case
Traveling with jewelry can get nerve-racking, but it's easy with this well-organized and discreet jewelry case. The case doubles as a tray and you can increase its storage by adding pages as needed. This is going on my wishlist.
Sound Oasis Travel Sound Therapy
Jet lag. It's a bummer, but perhaps this clock with 17 soothing nature sounds will help you fall asleep regardless of the timezone. It also allows you to see what time (and day) it is back home.
The Million Germ Eliminating Travel Toothbrush Sanitizer
Germs creep me out — especially when traveling. The compact toothbrush sanitizer is perfect as a travel case in addition to eliminating germs. I want one!
Travel Medic
And just in case... this slim medic kit is designed for travel and to help you take care of minor cuts.

Packing for a trip is certainly a chore, but if done correctly it makes traveling much easier. I have a tendency to overpack — surprise!
