Top 10 Essential Travel Items

As an executive, it can be tough traveling on the road all the time. It’s important to invest in products made specifically for the traveling business person to make your life a bit easier.

Here’s ten of the most essential items for business travelers:

1. Beats Headphones
 

Beyond their world-renowned quality, Beats are lightweight, durable, and comfortable. Their noise cancellation and dynamic acoustic effects leave an impact that standard headphones can’t match. Starting at $199.95, Beats Headphones are a must-have for anybody who listens to music during long business trips.

2. Organizer

To make sure your trip stays on track, a Filofax Organizer is a must. Made of beautiful brown leather, the Malden Organizer includes a two-week agenda, ruled notepad, contact pages, and room for pens, calculators, and other gadgets. The peace of mind is well worth $160.

3. Business Luggage

When you’re constantly on the road, it’s important to have luggage that can handle the wear and tear. Briggs & Riley has an entire set of business luggage that’s made to be lightweight and durable, with laptop cases, and everything else you could need. These luxury luggage bags start around $300 (matching toiletry bags are $50 each).

4. Bluetooth Keyboard

Being able to get real work done efficiently requires a keyboard, but smartphones and tablets don’t have that luxury. Logitech’s Bluetooth-enabled K810 keyboard, however, allows you to pair with any iOS, Android, or Windows system. This gives you access to a fully functional keyboard no matter where you are- for only $100!

5. Luxury Neck Pillow

On a long flight, a comfortable neck pillow is indispensable. Tempur-Pedic, renowned for their incredible mattresses and pillows, have designed a small neck pillow made specifically for travelers. It provides lumbar support and ensures you’ll stay relaxed all flight. These pillows cost $79.00 each.

6. Leather Laptop Briefcase

Saddleback has created a lightweight, heavy-duty leather briefcase that’s able to carry today’s modern electronics while maintaining a classic look. Able to carry tablets and most laptops, there are additional pockets for pens, chargers, and room for papers and files. A medium bag is $461, while a large bag is only $474.

7. Universal Power Adapter

Whether it’s a long layover or a day full of meetings, sometimes you just don’t have time to charge your tablet, laptop, or smartphone. MyCharge has developed a sleek, powerful universal power adapter that provides up to forty hours of juice to any Apple, Android, or USB device- up to three at a time! This convenience will set you back only $129.99.

8. Travel Sleep Sound Machine

Falling asleep in a noisy hotel room can be difficult, but the Travel Sleep Sound Machine by Sharper Image makes it easy. With soothing noises to help you fall asleep and a variety of peaceful alarm options, you’ll be able to show up to any meeting well-rested and alert. These machines will only set you back $99.99.

9. Pocket Projector

You never know when you’ll need to give an impromptu presentation, so having a pocket-sized projector can be a lifesaver. Brookstone offers a 100 Lumens projector that connects to any smartphone, tablet, or computer and can project HD video with ease. With speakers included, this costs $299.99.

10. Travel Shaver

When it comes to compact travel shavers, it’s impossible to beat the Remington DA-307. Using stainless steel and microscreens, the DA-307 provides an incredibly close and comfortable shave while staying small enough to fit into any travel bag. You need to show up to your meetings looking like a million bucks, so the $184.99 price tag is well worth the investment.
