Bluetooth adapter
YMOO Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter Receiver.
Price: $29.99
Details: There's nothing worse than sitting down for a long flight and realizing that your wireless earbuds aren't compatible with the entertainment system.
The headphones for sale on airplanes are always so expensive and I usually end up losing them.
The YMOO Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter Receiver is a neat little device that pairs Bluetooth headphones or earbuds with the airplane entertainment system so you don't have to worry about packing or buying a whole other set of headphones.
Plus, it's not just handy for flights – you can use it with TVs and PCs too.
Perfume travel bottle
Perfume Travel Spray Bottle Atomizer.
Price: $11.99 +
Details: No one wants to bring an entire bottle of fragrance along in their suitcase. It's heavy, bulky, and could potentially leak all over your clothes. Plus, if you're flying with just a carry-on, the perfume bottle will likely be too big for your liquids bag.
The ANTOKX Atomizer Perfume Bottle lets you bring your fragrance with you in a convenient, travel-sized bottle. Holding just 5 ml, this item is easy to fit in your bag and is leakproof and refillable.
Rechargeable travel makeup mirror
Wobsion Rechargeable Travel Makeup Mirror with Light.
Price: $35.99 +
Details: If you're into makeup like I am, then the Wobsion Rechargeable Travel Makeup Mirror is worth adding to your Christmas list (I've just added it to mine).
I've had those travel moments with terrible lighting or tiny shared mirrors, which is a nightmare for trying to get ready in the morning. This portable mirror folds up so it's easy to put in your bag. Plus, it has three colour modes and adjustable brightness so you don't have to worry about bad lighting.
Travel blanket
BOACAY Packable Travel Blanket.
Price: $28.86
Details: Travel blankets are a staple, especially if you're on a long flight. You can often purchase them on board, but they can be pricey and usually aren't great quality.
The BOACAY Packable Travel Blanket on Amazon looks super cozy and comes with a matching pouch. You can also use it as a pillow or hand warmer.
It's perfect for overnight flights or if you tend to get cold on board a plane.
Jewelry box
Parima Small Jewelry Box.
Price: $31.48
Details: I have lost so many pieces of jewelry during my travels. I put my earrings, rings and other items into small pockets in my suitcase or random bags — never to be seen again.
I came across the Parima Jewelry Organizer Box on Amazon and immediately added it to my wish list. Not only is the monogrammed exterior super cute, the inside has convenient sections for necklaces, rings, earrings and more.
Liquids bag
Taicols Travel Cosmetics Bag.
Price: $12.49
Details: Trying to fit all of my liquids into the designated bag is always a challenge, and the Taicols Travel Cosmetics Bag is a handy way to store them.
It comes with two reusable bags that are TSA certified and have zipper closures so you don't have to risk your products falling out everywhere.
Slippers
Ankis Womens Fuzzy Memory Foam Slippers.
Price: $19.99
Details: I love a cozy pair of slippers, especially when I'm travelling. They're perfect for wearing around hotels and Airbnbs and I always keep a pair in my suitcase.
There are so many to choose from on Amazon, but I love this fluffy pair from Ankis. The memory foam bottom and plush material looks super comfy. There are a range of colours available, from pink to black.
Travel yoga mat
Primasole Folding Yoga Travel Pilates Mat.
Price: $18.41 +
Details: Whether you're into yoga, at home workouts or just need a good stretch after a flight, this foldable yoga mat by Primasole is perfect for when you're on the go.
I've definitely missed my yoga mat when trying to workout or stretch during my travels, and this portable one would be easy to stick in my bag and use in hotels, Airbnbs etc.
Portable tripod
TONEOF Tripod.
Price: $39.99 +
Details: A quintessential part of travelling is snapping photos. If you find that you're always asking strangers to take your pic, then the TONEOF Tripod might be worth checking out.
The portable tripod doubles as a selfie stick and is collapsable, so you can easily stow it in your purse for the day. It even has a wireless remote so you don't need to worry about setting a timer and rushing into place.
Whether you're travelling solo or with a group, this tripod can help you preserve some memories from your vacation.
Mini Umbrella
HSJUP Mini Umbrella.
Price: $16.99 +
Details: I discovered this cute little umbrella on Amazon and it looks like the perfect travel accessory. It doubles as a parasol so it can come in handy whether you're travelling to sunny Arizona or rainy England.
It comes in several pastel colours and has a matching case.
Travel bottles
Mrsdry Travel Bottles for Toiletries.
Price: $24.92 +
Details: As someone who frequently travels with only a carry-on, I often find it challenging to neatly fit all of my liquids into the designated bag.
Amazon has tons of cute silicone travel bottles that can be used to store shampoo, cleanser, body lotion and more. There are so many colourful options, like the purple ones from Mrsdry.
Plus, the bottles are reusable so you can keep them with you during all your future adventures.
