Hey Reader

Last week I shared a few common travel items that have earned a permanent spot in our travel kit.

A whole bunch of you clicked through, which made me realize something.

Apparently I forgot some of the weird ones...

These are the weirdest travel items I swear by. Most people don't think to pack these, but I've found them all surprisingly useful over the years.

👕 Smell-Proof Laundry Bag​

• This comes on every trip.
• It keeps dirty clothes separate from clean clothes, contains odors, and makes trips to the local laundromat much easier.
• After a couple of weeks on the road, you'll understand why I love it.

💊 Jet Lag Relief Pellets​

• Whether they work because of science or a little bit of travel magic, I honestly don't know.
• Compact and easy to take with you on overnight flights.
• I've packed these on overnight flights for years. They're compact, easy to travel with, and have become part of my routine whenever I'm crossing multiple time zones.

🔇 Loop Ear Plugs​

• These are one of my newest travel finds.
• They're comfortable enough to sleep in and great for airplanes, busy hotels, noisy neighbors, and long train rides.

🫧 Laundry Detergent Sheets​

• No leaks.
• No liquid restrictions.
• No bulky detergent bottles.
• I throw a few sheets into a zip-loc bag and I'm set for the trip.

🛁 Silicone Sink Stopper​

• Tiny.
• Cheap.
• Easy to overlook.
• But when you need to wash a few items in a hotel sink, it's worth its weight in gold.

It's funny how often the smallest and least expensive travel items end up being the most useful.

Curious what they look like or how they work?

I've linked all five above.
