18 Best Travel Accessories for Women

Maybe it’s been a while since you managed to get away, or perhaps you’ve decided to branch out and take a different kind of holiday due to ongoing restrictions (road trip anyone?).

Either way, preparing for travel can be stressful and there’s nothing worse than turning up at your destination only to realise you’re missing an absolute essential.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a handy (if we do say so ourselves) guide to the best travel accessories for women.

So, from items to level-up your packing game to the all-important hand sanitiser, here’s our packing list for everything you need to prepare for your next trip.

18 Best Travel Accessories for Women

1. Hand Sanitiser

First things first, let’s talk safety. It might not be the most glamorous thing to think about, but the reality is that COVID-19 is still a major concern and not everybody is fully vaccinated yet.

You can never be too careful when it comes to keeping your hands clean, so try and keep a portable bottle of hand sanitiser in your handbag at all times. (We love these citrusy hand sprays by Bath & Body Works.)

Better to be safe than sorry!

2. Face Mask

Likewise, face coverings are still a requirement when shopping in the UK (and more and more countries abroad too).

While a reusable fabric option might work at home, a pack of disposable face masks is your best bet if you want to minimise your risk of catching any unwanted germs on the go. 

This Amazon pack of 100 (*) costs just £9.99 so you can simply throw away your used masks at the end of the day – without breaking the bank.

3. Power Bank

Whether you need to double-check your route, search for restaurant recommendations or even just snap a few photos, chances are that at some point during your trip you’ll reach for your phone only to find it empty. (Wah).

In this case, a handy, lightweight portable charger like this one (*) from Miady will ensure you always have enough charge to take on the world.

4. Travel Adaptor

If you’re travelling internationally, you’ll need a travel adaptor like this Go Travel UK – Worldwide Adaptor to charge up all your devices. 

It may be a slightly more expensive option than a standard adaptor. That said, considering it can be used in over 150 countries, we call that good value for money. 

5. A Strong Backpack

With so many travel necessities, you’re going to need a strong backpack to get everything safely from A to B.

This functional yet fashionable Puma Phase Backpack (*) will also serve any casual day tripper well, while a larger and more heavy duty rucksack like this Berghaus one (*) is a better option for outdoor adventurers.

6. A Sturdy Yet Sleek Suitcase

Unless you’re a minimalist packer (teach us your ways), any trip of more than a few days will require you to pack a suitcase.

Lightweight, durable and complete with not one but three different sizes, this American Tourister Suitcase Set (*) will see you through any and every trip all while looking effortlessly chic. Win-win.

7. Luggage Scale

If you have a tendency to overpack and the thought of having your bag weighed at the airport fills you with dread, there’s a simple solution.

Enter: the luggage scale.

With this AA Digital Suitcase Weight Scale (*), you can forget about paying any surprise excess baggage fees so you can pack that extra pair of shoes in confidence! Happy days.

8. Packing Cubes

Packing cubes provide a super easy way of organising your suitcase, whether you’re going on a holiday, business trip or anything in between.

Minimise clutter and maximise space by using one packing cube per outfit or clothing category (such as tops or evening wear).

Ease yourself in with Eono’s pack of 8 (*) from Amazon and get ready to see the world in a whole new light. Not even joking.

9. Compression Packs

Speaking of space-saving, if compression packs aren’t already your best friend, they soon will be.

These easy-to-use Spedalon Roll-Up Compression Bags (*) allow you to effectively vacuum pack your clothes, giving you an incredible three times more packing space. (Can you even believe it?!)

10. Microfibre Travel Towel

If you’re going to take up space in your case packing a towel, one thing’s for sure: no ordinary towel will do. We recommend picking a microfibre variety that is both super absorbent and quick-drying. 

The Eono (*) also comes in a handy little bag that won’t take up much space in your car or suitcase.

11. Cute Yet Roomy Toiletry Bag

Any regular jetsetter knows there’s no greater inconvenience than reaching the baggage check stage in the airport only to have to scour your bag and separate any toiletries to avoid setting any alarms off.

So why not cut out this pressure altogether by investing in a clear toiletry bag. This set of 3 Funnasting waterproof travel bags (*) is perfect for transporting all your essentials.

12. Comfy Eye Mask

Another of the best travel accessories for women is undeniably a comfy eye mask or two.

This Alaska Bear Silk Sleep Mask is perfect for helping you achieve a relaxing lie in – or even just for catching some extra zzz’s en route so you arrive looking and feeling super fresh.

13. Compression Socks

Next up, a good pair of cosy compression socks is an absolute must on any long flight.

Tight enough to keep the blood pumping in your legs even when sitting still for hours, these LEOSTEP socks (*) will promote healthy circulation and reduce the chance of suffering blood clots. Oh, and they’re pretty cute-looking too.

14. First Aid Kit

If there’s one thing that’s sure to ruin a trip away it’s an unexpected injury. And while carrying a first kit can’t guarantee you an accident-free trip, being prepared for anything will certainly help keep your mind at rest.

With plenty of plasters, bandages and cleansing wipes, this compact Amazon kit (*) has all you need to handle any manner of accidents.

15. Travel Pillow

Whether you’re taking a nine-hour flight or a two-hour car journey, no-one wants to arrive at their destination with niggling aches and pains from the journey. Right?

So instead of attempting to make a pillow out of your coat, why not sit back, relax and enjoy the trip with the help of a memory foam travel pillow like this one from Life Hall (*). (You can thank us later!)

16. Water Bottle

Let’s be honest, travelling can be thirsty work. But as tempting as it is to stop at every second café to rehydrate, your holiday budget will thank you for packing a refillable water bottle.

Any reusable bottle will do the job, but we recommend investing in a 2-in-1 thermal bottle like the highly functional Simple Modern (*). This little beauty comes complete with straw and a handle for the ideal grab-and-go situation.

17. Travel Neck Wallet

Big enough to accommodate your valuables (think passport, phone and keys), but small enough that you almost forget it’s there, a travel neck wallet is definitely one of the best travel accessories for women looking to keep their belongings safe.

For extra peace of mind, this Vantamo zipped wallet (*) even has smart radio frequencing shield technology to protect you from contactless card fraud.

18. Money Belt

Once you reach your destination, you might be tempted to swap out your travel neck wallet for something even more understated.

For total hands-off mode, this Anti-Theft Money belt from MoKo (*) is barely noticeable under clothes, ideal for keeping your valuables secure.

Choosing the Best Travel Accessories for Women 

Between strict COVID testing rules and ever-changing travel guidelines, there’s no getting around that travelling is pretty stressful right now.

But while the process of reaching your destination might not be the smoothest, so long as you have all the best travel accessories for women in tow, it’s guaranteed to be a breeze from thereon.

So what are you waiting for? Bon voyage!

Courtyard strollin’… (Looking for my next cup Courtyard strollin’…
(Looking for my next cup of coffee or glass of sangria — it all depends on the time of day!) 😉☕️🍹
This cute courtyard was in the middle of Palma city. The architecture and restaurants huddled in the square with al fresco drinking and dining instantly transported me back to Italy.
It reminded me of past cruise ship holidays with my parents where we visited the likes of Naples, Capri, Rome, Florence and Pisa and we would be in awe of the charm and beauty of these places.
But this post is about Palma in Majorca. 🇪🇸
Palma itself is a delight!
There’s so much going on in the centre, so much life and hustle and bustle, which is refreshing to experience after over two years of lockdowns and travel restrictions. 😅
I enjoyed our leisurely peruse of the city, soaking up the sun and seeing historic sights such as The Cathedral of Santa Maria, which dates back to 1601.
We even spent some time getting lost amongst the cobbled backstreets, popping in and out of shops before we regained our bearings once again. 😍
Our day in Palma reminded me how much I love exploring and how much travelling makes me feel fulfilled.
You just can’t beat it, right? ❤️
I already can’t wait for my next European city break (which hasn’t even been booked yet!).
What are some of your fave European cities? 👇🏻

Happiest when I’m by the seaside. 🌊 One of Happiest when I’m by the seaside. 🌊 
One of my all-time favourite travel fashion pieces is the blue denim “mom-style” shorts.
You know, the relaxed-fit and high-waisted type that go with just about anything? 😉
You can pair them with a strappy top and sandals or flip flops for those warm summer days.
Or you can take them from day to night by swapping the strappy top for a chic blouse or cropped shirt and the flat sandals or flip flops for heels.
They’re just so comfy and cute! J’adore. ❤️
These ones are from @marksandspencerfashionpr which I’ll link via the @shop.LTK app along with some similar options.

I lived in mine for my most recent trip to Majorca - even throwing them on over a bikini with a kaftan for those lazy pool days. ✌🏻

That post-holiday feeling! You know, when you lan That post-holiday feeling!
You know, when you land after a few days in the sun and you feel refreshed, recharged and ready to take on the world again. 🙌🏻
And it helps if you travel in comfy clothes.
Plane, train and bus rides can be time-consuming (and stressful when things go wrong) so comfy travel gear makes the journey that little bit more bearable. ✈️ 
I’m currently loving lounge sets to travel in, such as this “Bon Voyage” lemon number from @lornaluxe x @inthestyle . 🍋
You can still get your hands on the shorts but, unfortunately, the sweatshirt is out of stock.
Not to worry though - I’ve linked some more pretty lounge sets to travel in via my shop on the @shop.LTK app.

You know, when the suitcase is finally packed, the plane outfit is laid out and there’s nothing left to do other than get a good night’s sleep before you head to your new destination ✨ tomorrow ✨!
(But then you’re so excited that you end up not having the best sleep! 🤦🏼‍♀️)
Are you one of those travellers who gets to the airport super early or one of those super last minute people? ✈️

I’m blue da ba dee da ba di. 🎶 Okay so I uni I’m blue da ba dee da ba di. 🎶
Okay so I unintentionally wore blue, white and black all weekend.
Outfit one was for a Betty’s brunch for the hubby’s birthday and exploring Thirsk. 👀
The blue denim dress and checked shacket combo felt a bit sixties inspired and sassy teamed with black tights and white boots.
Then outfit two was for a pub lunch and drinks with the family (hubby’s birthday celebrations part two).
I went for a blue floral top, comfy black jeggings, a blue denim shearling jacket and those white boots again. 👢
This felt more seventies rocker vibes so naturally I had to wear it with attitude!

Thank you so much to all our friends and family for making our day so special. 
You know you’ve put on a good party when random guests staying at the hotel ask the staff if they can join in because it sounds like a blast. 🎉🤣

I can’t wait to see and share more pictures, but here are a few in the meantime that pretty much sum up how awesome the day was!

On a side note, this outfit was styled by @nicolajanexo who has summer style nailed after living in Australia for one year and then New Zealand for three years. ☀️

This trip has helped me to destress a ton after a very busy six months of my life so I can go forward with a healthier and more positive mindset.
Thanks to my big sis for being my rock during a difficult time and always having my back as my number one and only. ❤️
