Travel With Ease
by American Way StaffAn assemblage of perfect travel sets (our favorites, if you must know) that will make your next trip as easy as, well, ours. — Becca Hensley
Revive, Rejuvenate, Replenish
Fight the aging effects of travel with Molton Brown’s New Age Traveller set for women on the go. Ten must-have, all-natural skin, body, and hair therapies are tucked into a chic pistachio leather case. Potent remedies we love include White Mulberry Air, a crisp mist of mimosa, green tea, and elemi; and Facezone Overnight Renewal, enriched with rosa mosqueta oil and Chinese rosebuds. $89. www.moltonbrown.com
Brother, You Gotta Take Care
The Travel Logistics kit by Anthony Logistics for Men is jam-packed with good-for-you body-care products. When making a quick getaway, grab this set that contains everything from glycolic facial cleanser to shave cream, coconut shampoo, and vanilla lip balm. You’ll be the best-groomed guy on the plane. $40. www.anthony.com
Peacefully Seeking Solace
F-1 Jet Comfort Kit induces snugness with its fully loaded long-haul set. It has everything and then some: earplugs, dental products, a neck rest, a chocolate candy bar, slipper socks, an eye shade, moist towelettes, a deck of cards, and a pen — all ensconced in a microfiber case. Viva the ease! $45. www.flight001.com
Grin and Bear It
GoSmile’s Jet Set kit ensures that you don’t leave dental hygeine behind. The compact kit contains a travel toothbrush and two unique toothpastes: AM tingles you awake with its blend of stimulating essential oils (lime, orange, and peppermint); PM’s relaxing concoction (lavender, valerian root, and vanilla) soothes you to dreamland. $12. www.gosmile.com or www.sephora.com
Your Guiding Light
Prepare for new adventures with Lonely Planet’s folded, laminated city maps (London, Paris, New York) — the perfect perk for the peripatetic wanderer ($9). Background information and things to do can be found in Lonely Planet’s guides ($18 to $25). And, perhaps most important, learn the language by using Lonely Planet’s succinct phrase books ($8). www.barnes andnoble.com
Organizational Intelligence
The secret of the organized traveler is out: Eagle Creek’s Pack-It Cubes and Folders. Cubes become instant compartments within your suitcase to hold socks, undergarments, T-shirts, and accessories. Available in a variety of sizes, they make unpacking a dream — and it’s always a snap to find what you seek. Folders are like envelopes for your clothes. They prevent wrinkles and keep everything from jackets to suits compactly folded. From $8. www.container store.com
Aromatherapy — Two Ways
Keep clothes smelling fresh while on the road with Tocca’s Delicato da Viaggio Laundry Set ($50) — complete with four travel-size fabric washes in scents as exotic as your locale (Cleopatra and Florence, to name a couple). And it’s all packed in a pink canister that looks as if it ought to contain chocolates — not cleaning supplies.
Infuse your hotel room with a hint of scent —try using Ashleigh and Burwood of England’s Aromatherapy Travel Kit ($18 to $25). With six palm-oil candles, incense sticks, and two scented cushions (perfect for tucking under your pillow), it’s destined to change your mood. www.flight001.com
