They allow you to pack your favorite product without having to carry a large container. These Kitdine bottles have wide openings and anti-leak caps. Field Notes are my favorite notebooks for travel as they are slim, light and well-constructed.

Normal water bottles take up too much space when they’re empty, so foldable water bottles are a better option.

We love the Vapur Element Bottle as it’s lightweight, durable, can be flattened or rolled when empty, has a flip top cap, and can be clipped to a bag. A travel coffee mug is a must for every traveler who is concerned about the millions of disposable coffee cups that end up in landfill every day. They are also really useful on road trips, especially in remote areas where there might not be places to stop for a drink (Simon used one often in Iceland and Namibia). The Contigo Autoseal West Loop mug is leak and spill proof (you can shove it in your bag) and keeps drinks hot for hours. It comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes.

My mum gave me these beeswax wraps and I’ve been surprised how useful they are. We often self-cater while traveling and these have been fantastic for wrapping up leftover foo covering bowls, and packing sandwiches for day trips. We’ve used ours regularly for nearly a year and they are still going strong.

They are a sustainable alternative to plastic wrap and make a simple but beautiful gift. Merino wool Buffs are lightweight, tiny, and multi-purpose and make ideal gifts for travel lovers. I regretted not bringing one to Iceland where strong winds make other scarves impractical.

It has two zipped pockets for storing valuables (one under each arm), and I find it more comfortable than a money belt. The pockets aren’t entirely hidden so it’s best to wear it under another shirt. They also make t-shirts, leggings, and underwear with hidden pockets. A really handy gift for any travel lover. This infinity travel scarf with hidden pocket is another excellent way of concealing your valuables or being able to go out without a purse.

Simon’s favorite shorts are Billabong Submersibles, which can be worn as regular shorts or for swimming. They look smart and are lightweight and quick-drying. Multi-purpose items are brilliant for packing light!

Backing up your data is essential if you travel with a laptop. We love the Seagate Backup Plus Slim external hard drive, which is small , light, and sturdy. Icebreaker makes clothes from merino wool, which is non-itchy, warm, and odor-resistant. We love their long-sleeve tops for cold weather—they kept us toasty in Iceland and throughout the winter.

They add warmth without taking up too much space in our bags and can be worn multiple times without washing. My new favourite travel jeans. They are super soft and stretchy and comfortable enough to wear on a plane. They also have huge front pockets (so unusual in women’s wear) and two hidden zipper pockets in the back.

See my post on the best travel pants for womenfor a more detailed review. Aviator makes jeans for women and men in a few styles. Simon hasn’t tried them yet as he loves the new Bluffworks travel jeanswhich are also ultra comfortable and have hidden pockets.

An e-reader is indispensable for traveling bookworms as you can travel with thousands of books on a device smaller than one paperback. I couldn’t live without my Kindle Paperwhite and this year I treated myself to the new version which is waterproof (yay for reading in the pool and bath!). Our favorite purchase last year was our AirPods.

I love them for running and yoga videos, they are super comfortable (I forget I’m wearing them), and the battery lasts for ages. I originally thought Away luggage was a social media fad (their suitcases are all over Instagram), but after doing a lot of research, it was the best carry-on-sized suitcase I found. I have the Bigger Carry-On which is the maximum size you can take on a plane (for stricter airlines you might want the smaller Carry-On). I can fit a huge amount in with the two-sided design and compression pad.

The four spinner wheels make it so easy to push alongside you. It’s made from a soft lightweight fabric that’s wrinkle-free, so you can pack it inside your luggage without messing it up. It’s also machine washable, quick-drying, and has tons of pockets that are perfect for carrying your valuables (and especially useful on travel days). It looks fantastic and can be worn with everything—it was ideal for spring in Italy and Paris. Buy on the Bluffworks website.

Packable puffer jackets are the best way to keep warm and still pack light. They pack down small so don’t take up much space in your luggage. I love the Patagonia Nano Puff Hoody made from synthetic down with a durable water repellent finish so it even works in light rain.
