As Cyber Monday is officially here and the holiday season is just around the corner, the question on everyone’s mind is: what gifts will I buy? Whether it’s your friends, family or co-worker, we have put together a list of 5 must have business travel accessories that will not disappoint.
A Weekender
Whether it’s a business or leisure trip to visit friends, a weekender is an absolute must. This bag is large enough to carry your clothing for the weekend, but small enough to be carried onto a commercial airline. Depending on the nature of your trip, a weekender can be your lone baggage item or can be accompanied with a suit bag. A solid affordable option is the Everlane Weekender or if you are looking to spend a little more, the Hartmann Belting Leather Duffel is right up your alley.
A Garment Bag
A garment bag, also known as a suit bag, allows for your business clothes to arrive looking pressed. You can find a really diverse offering of suit carrying bags based on quality and price. A general rule of thumb would be to correlate the amount to spend based on how frequently the individual travels for business. A good affordable option is the Brooks Brothers Suit Garmet Bag, or if you want to go above and beyond, a great alternative is the Hartmann Tweed Belting Carry on.
A Dopp Kit
A dopp kit, also known as a toiletry case, is a great way to stay organized and keep your clothing in your travel bag clean. This kit should be small enough to fit in your weekender and should contain the following items: razor, travel size shaving cream, deodorant, toothbrush, travel size toothpaste, floss, nail clippers, soap and contact lenses if necessary. If you’re looking for something affordable, the Brooks Brothers Canvas Leather Travel Kit is a great option. If you are looking to spend a bit more, the Ghurka dopp kit is a better fit.
A Quality Set of Headphones
Headphones are something that you definitely don’t want to skimp out on. They are a crucial item for any traveler. The good news is quality headphones are more affordable than ever, and they come in all shapes and sizes. A good option is the new Beats Studio 2013 or the PBS Speakers if you want to go all out.
A Pen and Paper
Last but not least is pen and paper. While traveling you have a lot of time to think. Although a pen and paper sounds unnecessary, I can’t tell you how many times it has come in handy. Whether you’re writing an idea down, drawing, brainstorming or playing a game, a pen and paper is an absolute must. Any pen and paper will do, but if you are looking for a quality pen than look no further than the WSBI Diamond 580 Clean Pen.
These items will improve a passenger’s overall experience and can take the hassle out of flying this holiday season. Safe travels and happy holidays.
