1. Croma 4 Plugs universal travel adapter

Travelling to a new country often means you’re going to end up struggling with the power adapters. Power voltage differs from location to location, and apart from this, several countries also have different types of wall sockets. A travel adapter is simply a converter that lets you adapt to any country you’re travelling to. The Croma universal travel adapter comes with a dual-USB port that allows you to plug multiple devices together. It is also available in a trendy blue shade and fits into your travel bag without any trouble. 

2. URBN 20,000mAh 20W Fast Charging Power Bank

There’s no reason why you should travel without a power bank, no matter how battery-efficient your smartphone or tablet is. In fact, when you have a full-day excursion planned ahead of you, a power bank can ensure your important transactions, access to the internet and navigation are not interrupted due to low battery. 

The URBN power bank is a stylish accessory that you can pop into your day bag. It comes with two USBs and one Type-C Port to charge multiple devices simultaneously. Additionally, its anti-slip texture is a great feature to have when you’re constantly on the go

3. Croma Fabric Travel Organiser Bag

If you’re a frequent traveller, you’re probably no stranger to the anxiety that comes with grappling through documents during various check-ins. But having a travel organiser can help you simplify the chaos a little bit, especially if you’re running for your flight. Croma’s travel bag comes with three pockets that can hold your cards and important travel-related documents without having to search for them. What’s more, is that it is water and dust resistant, making it an ideal addition to have in extreme weather. 

4. Sony WH-XB910N/LZIN Bluetooth headset

Long hours of commute can get monotonous, even with all the breathtaking landscapes that give you company. But a good pair of headphones, such as the Sony WH-XB910N/LZIN, has over 200 hours of standby that will let you stream your media sans interruption. In fact, it comes with Google Assistant and Alexa support, giving you a comfortable, hands-free experience. 

5. Kindle e-book reader

Carrying books on your trip can get cumbersome, but there are other ways to pass the time in an airport lounge (and no, we’re not talking about the buffet!). An e-book reader can store several books at once and is lightweight to carry on your adventures. The 10th-generation Kindle has a comfortable backlight for you to read and even comes with 8GB storage for you to keep all your favourite books in once place. Apart from this, you can bookmark and highlight passages to ensure you don’t lose track of your favourite verses.

6. Croma Kube portable Bluetooth speaker

What’s a vacation without a party? A Bluetooth speaker is an ideal companion to have if you’re travelling with a larger group. Whether you use it for an impromptu dance-off in the room or are in the mood for a cosy movie night in, it gives you all the extended entertainment you need. The Croma Kube is a portable, easy-to-operate Bluetooth speaker that will take little to no space in your travel backpack. With up to seven hours of playback time, you don’t even have to rush to a power outlet and keep the party going for long hours. 

7. Eagle Weight Scale

If you, like us, tend to get carried away with shopping, you’re probably going to worry about having to carry it all back amid the luggage restriction. The Eagle Weight Scale can weigh up to 50kg of luggage and takes little to no space during the journey. It also comes with ample battery life and only functions in low-consumption mode. 

8. Travel Blue Sammy The Ram Polyester Neck Pillow

Flight seats are comfortable… but only for about the first 15 minutes. So, there’s no better travel accessory to have on your voyage than a travel pillow to keep you comfortable on long flights and layovers. Travel Blue’s Sammy the Ram pillow can be your ideal buddy, not only because it is cute, but because it is soft, lightweight and puts up no fight when you try to hand wash it at home!

9. Philips 3000 Series garment steamer

You probably don’t want to carry an iron on your trip, but if you’re still looking for wrinkle-free clothes, a garment steamer can do just the trick. While it may not ensure zero creases, it is a quick fix that is perfect for a long-distance trip. Philips’ garment steamer is easy to refill and carry, apart from being simply time saving. It also comes with a handy travel pouch for you to store safely on your commute. 

10. Arctic Fox Slope anti-theft backpack

A new city or country is fun to explore, but it’s never a bad idea to stay a little extra careful, especially if you’re travelling solo. The Arctic Fox Slope is an anti-theft polyester laptop backpack designed with a 5 SBS Nylon Zipper and Runner Puller. The zipper remains hidden and ensures security, making it less susceptible to swiping. Its drawstring, water-resistant compartment helps withstand extreme weather conditions and makes a great addition to your hiking trips.

With accessories and gadgets like these, travelling has truly turned safer and more convenient. We hope this list makes your next trip even more memorable.
