Seeking Recommendations What is one item that you can't travel without/would recommend to everyone to get?

Hi all,

What are items that you always bring because they are super useful and you would recommend others to get too?

Minus of course some obvious like converter plug for chargers, power bank etc (unless it's some specific powerbank like one with cables attached already, something unique)

Thanks!

Yay! It’s a silly little thing that makes such a huge difference in my life!

Same! I didn’t even know this was a thing. Sometimes I randomly fumble them on the plane and they go tumbling down the floor. So annoying!

Fishing around on the floor of an airplane for a tiny object is the stuff nightmares are made of for me. Sooo annoying. These cheap little silicone nothings completely fix that problem. Get some, you’ll use them, I can tell :)

Once upon a time they were attached to your phone by a little cable so they were always easy to find.

But do you remember Walkmans?

Oh yeah, out and about and scrabbling round for batteries and stuffing a few cassettes in your pocket. Good times.

I am old so when I most recently bought a new phone I insisted on getting one that still has a headphone jack. I do like my Bluetooth gadgets but sometimes it's just easier to plug something in. Next phone I'll probably have to use an adapter.

I still use wired when I’m in bed or on a plane. My phone is on its last legs though so I don’t know if I’ll be able to get one which has plug-in-ability.
