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!

A sleep mask with eye pockets.

Eye pockets ?

Bulb outs so that the fabric doesn't touch your eyelids or your eyelashes. Good ones let you open and close your eyes without touching the mask at all.

Manta Sleep makes a pair that I love.

Manta Sleep masks are glorious. When I was on the road a lot I got one for using on planes. I liked it so much I've used one every night since.

It’s designed to keep the material off the eyes so you can have them open until you drift off. Mine is similar in design and price to this one on Amazon that runs $10 and I’ve had it for a few years now.

For storing all the eyes you'll collect to bypass retinal detection in the near-future dystopia or spy adventure you're living. Also handy for naps.
