| My sister started a new job where she will be traveling nationally once a month and is looking for good accessories- packable puffers, toiletry bags, a good lap top carry on, as Christmas gifts. Any other suggestions appreciated! Shes 38, her style is simple, neutral colors, more classic items over trendy. Working for a real estate development company so her everyday is corporate casual. There are 10 of us so any price point. We will chip in for more expensive items. Thanks! |

I got a Calpak toiletry case for myself and I really like it. It holds a ton and is tsa compliant. I have the mini and it is good for carryon bags. I don’t have any of their other products but it seems like a good line.

Tumi bags.

I like Briggs and Riley myself for luggage.
This tote will fit a laptop. And get a small roller bag carryon size. Under the seat cabin bag. https://www.briggs-riley.com/collections/tote-bags/products/rhapsody-essential-tote-pt123 |
| I love the Uniqlo packable down puffers. So easy to squish down into a carryon, and light and warm too. |
Cashmere wrap from White & Warren is a good gift for frequent flyers. |
I prefer a tote bag with a trolley sleeve, so you don't have to carry a tote separately from your carry on. here are some choices: https://www.shopsitesee.com/blog/travel-totes-with-trolley-sleeve |

Get black fabric resistance band and wrap around both. You can spend $60 on a lululemon one or $10 on an amazon one. https://shop.lululemon.com/p/accessories/Resistance-Bands-3-Pack/_/prod10930177?CID=Google_Shop-Smart_Gifting_Shop-Breakout_NB_US_NAT_X_ag%3DUS_SSC_Gifting-All-Products_DM&color=0001&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1sucBhDgARIsAFoytUtv-D7PP6bdALa79QsxTkk494FW-fGaSJ0YIVd_TKOdK4vo23uGVmEaAqjlEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&locale=en_US&sl=US&sz=ONESIZE Plus you can use it to workout with while traveling. |

Noise canceling earbuds for the plane. I like slippers just for hotel rooms. A portable charging station for phones is nice (note this can’t go in an overhead compartment or in checked luggage). I also buy these giant ziplocks from Amazon and store my dirty laundry in them when I travel (to separate used socks and undies). Lingerie bags would work for this too. Extra chqrging canles.
I keep travel toiletries on hand. Mini bottles of Cetaphil (sold at Target and drugstores), travel sized shower gels and lotions (Origins has trqvel sized sets out periodically). A razor and comb just for travel. The Le Labo counter in Nordstrom will give you full perfume samples in a little brown envelope. You can also buy these from their website. I always bring a shower curtain ring on which to hang a poufy sponge (I hang it from the wire soap holder box in the hotel sbower). A travel hairdryer would be nice. I actually have a Dyson which is pretty small. |

A flat foldable 60W or more outlet/brick and a multiport cord (usbc to usbc, lighting, micro usb)
Good youtube videos. Also search business EDC (everyday carry on youtube) The number of EDC videos is creepy. |
