My heart is so full because I am seeing more and more people travel again. After being cooped up due to the pandemic, we all deserve to get away, with safety precautions in place, of course. It is funny how traveling itself feels almost foreign. If you are out of practice or in need of some new travel essentials, I highly recommend Aliexpress for your trip. It’s a one-stop-shop location and you can cross everything off your list including things like a new luggage set to jewelry packing solutions to sanitation must-haves. Personally, I cannot wait to walk down the aisle on the airplane once again but until then, I too will be upgrading my travel equipment. Keep reading to shop all my favorite travel essentials below.
Stylish Carry On
If you are someone who pays attention to the small details, a plain old luggage case is not going to do. For those who are looking to spice things up, I found this chic and stylish carry-on size suitcase. This TSA approved, lightweight case is just the solution. It has everything from a security lock to a removable hanger and shoe storage.
Affordable Luggage Set
For a longer duration of travel or perhaps a trip with the whole family, it might be financially beneficial to invest in a luggage set. This three-piece Aliexpress listing includes a small, medium and large suitcase made from extra durable material. Plus, it is important to note that they nest inside of each other for easy storage when you are not on the road.
Duffle Bag
On the other hand, perhaps you have summer travel plans for a long weekend getaway but do not necessarily need an entire suitcase. Check out this sleek duffle bag option that’s been padded for laptop protection! It has just enough space to store all of your clothing and toiletries needs for a staycation.
Packing Cubes
I consider myself to be a pretty organized person so when I first discovered packing cubes my life was revolutionized. Depending on your preference, you can sort all your tops together in one cube or you could even assort each outfit individually. This is a much better solution than throwing all your clothes together in one large compartment.
Toiletries Set
Whatever you do, do not let your travels prevent you from maintaining your skincare routine. With this toiletries set, you can bring your daily products with you wherever you go in small, TSA-approved containers. This way, your skin will not skip a beat!
Passport Holder
When traveling internationally, I like to swap out my usual wallet for a convenient passport holder. This Kate Spade holder not only has storage for your passport, but it also has numerous card slots so you can keep all your critical documents, IDs and cards in one place.
Garment Steamer
Even if you roll your clothes, chances are some things are going to get crumpled throughout the duration of your travel. The last thing you need is a wrinkle-ridden dress for the night of your candlelit dinner. Enter this garment steamer! It is small and portable, making it easy to pop into your luggage or carry-on.
Jewelry Organizer
One of the more difficult items to pack is definitely jewelry. The pieces are small and can be easily misplaced, let alone the fact that necklaces can get tangled and will test your patience when unraveling them. So do yourself a favor and invest in a travel jewelry organizer. This luxe velvet case has a compartment for all your rings, earrings and necklaces.
Collapsible Water Bottle
Hydration is always key but so is saving money. Airports love to charge an arm and a leg for a water bottle so I always recommend bringing an empty one in your handbag. After getting through screening, you can fill up your water – free of charge! This collapsible option is perfect for on-the-go and it is such a much more sustainable option.
Disinfecting Wipes
A must have for travel in 2021 is disinfectant. You cannot avoid public places so it is important to sanitize when possible. This travel pack of wipes is made to clean hard surfaces such as doorknobs, table tops and anything else you might come in contact with. You just may want to grab multiples of these!
I hope you have an exciting getaway to look forward to! I cannot wait to get on the road once again as travel used to be such an integral part of my job. What are your travel essentials for 2021?
