SUITCASE PICKS
Travel things I actually use, love, or think are worth packing.

Travel has a funny way of teaching you what you really need. These are some of the things that have earned a spot in my suitcase because they make traveling a little easier, more comfortable, or more fun.

CRUISE PICKS - Cruise cabins are cozy. Sometimes very cozy. These are a few things that can make organizing, storing and relaxing in your cabin a little easier—without taking up half your suitcase.

Magnetic Rechargeable Fan

Cruise cabins can get a little stuffy, especially at night. This gives you a little extra airflow without needing to find another outlet.

Why I like it: Rechargeable, easy to move around, and the magnetic base makes it especially handy in a cruise cabin.

Magnetic Hooks

Cruise cabins are not exactly famous for having an abundance of storage. Magnetic hooks give you extra places to hang lightweight items without taking up valuable drawer or closet space.

Why I like them: They're tiny to pack but can give you a surprising amount of extra hanging space.

Small Travel Blanket

“I never travel without a small blanket. I have a thing with other bedding touching my face.  Yes, it does take up room in my suitcase, but it's a sacrifice I've taken for over 2 decades.  It's a running joke in my household, but if I'm not using it at that very moment, someone else in the room has it."

Reclosable Plastic Bags "Ziplock"
“Reclosable plastic bags to the rescue on all my travels. Nope...I don't use the name brand ones.”

Slim Refillable Water Bottle
“I never travel without one.  Slim and with a screw top.  We don't need anything leaking.”

Portable Charger with Built-In Cords
“I have to have my cords permanently attached so I'm not losing them.”

Satin Pillowcase
“Yes, I travel with my own satin pillowcase. I'm not embarrassed anymore. Hint - Don't buy white as I always forgot those ones.  Now I by the grey ones.😂”

Cruise Cabin Door Magnets

Finding your cabin after a long day exploring the ship shouldn't feel like a scavenger hunt. These make your cabin door easier to spot and add a little personality without taking up any suitcase space.

Why I like them: Small, lightweight and actually useful once you realize how many cabin doors look exactly alike.
