Travel Gadgets For Your Lodging
Door lock
In my opinion, you can never be too safe while traveling!
Check out this awesome portable door lock.
It’s easy to use and will give you that extra added comfort of knowing you’re more secure.
Plug Adapter
Depending on where you’re traveling you may need a plug adapter.
I have an old model that came in a nice carrying case but had separate plugs for each country/area.
Nowadays, not only do you get the adapter but they come with extra USB ports too, all in one little package!
Travel Gadgets For Your Phone
Portable Charger
Ever ran out of juice in your cellphone, iPad, or other electronic while traveling?
Not fun huh?
We went to Disneyland recently and boy I could have used a portable charger then.
I was using my phone with the Disneyland app to find rides, wait times, restaurants, etc. and by about lunchtime, I had to power it off for a bit just to try and make it last the rest of the day!
Not only are they convenient but to know you will have a battery in a just-in-case situation is reason enough to get one!
Phone holder
I don’t know about you but sometimes you just want to use your phone/tablet without holding it!
Check out this little guy-
This phone holder looks simple enough but how convenient!!
Bend it the way you need it, whether tucking it into the seat in front of you or placing it on your tray table, and you’ll be able to enjoy your phone/tablet hands-free!
Travel Gadgets For Your Clothes
Steamer
No one wants to be walking around wrinkled, and when you’re traveling that can be difficult.
Being wrinkled isn’t cute, use a steamer!
Unless you have a great travel steamer!
It comes with a long cord for easy reaching, a smart shutoff switch in case it starts to overheat and advanced steaming technology to get a great ironed, wrinkle-free look.
Travel Soap
So, travel soap, in and of itself is not necessarily a gadget but definitely a necessity if you’ll be traveling for more than a few days.
It comes as a liquid and is in TSA approved packaging and will work for all clothes, including delicates.
Luggage Organizer
I have found, the more organized my luggage is the happier I am 🙂
What better way to be organized than with travel shelves?
Pack your shelves before your trip, then simply collapse them into your suitcase when you’re ready to leave.
Perfect for when you’re already at your destination too.
Simply pull out the shelves and use the hooks to place it in the closet.
And when you’re heading back home just collapse them again!
Brilliant.
P.S. They do come in other colors than the pink 🙂

Multifunctional Pen
O.k., I know this one sounds weird but hear me out!
This pen has seven functions:
- A regular writing pen
- Bottle opener
- Ruler
- Screwdriver
- Stylus
- Phone stand
- Flathead screwdriver
Now, isn’t that cool?
It’s always good to have a pen on you when you’re traveling and to have a few tools, ruler and phone stand included is genius!!!
Umbrella
You never think to bring an umbrella until you get caught in rain, right?
Well, with this compact umbrella you can easily pack it away in your purse, backpack, carry-on or messenger bag and always have it handy when you’ll need it the most!
Luggage Scale
A luggage scale will be, hands-down, one of your most useful travel gadgets!
Have you ever gotten up to the check-in counter just to be told that your luggage is overweight?
Well, it happened to me once and it was horrible.
I had everything so jam-packed and organized in the suitcase that rearranging it was a mess.
Had we had my luggage scale on us and I had used it, I would have saved myself stress and frustration!
They are so small and portable it’s not worth not having it!
And there you have it!
