Travel Tips

As families hit the road on that quintessential family road trip or book flights for that highly anticipated and well-deserved vacation, the contents of our carry-on luggage look a little different these days. Keep the family safe and comfortable with this list of must-haves that feel a little less like pandemic gear, and a little more like a luxury.

Silky Styles

Whether looking for a luxe robe or pillow case for home or a silk face covering for the airport and a matching eye mask for your flight, CILQUE has you covered. Slide on a washable, comfortable and reusable silk face mask, made from 100 percent Mulberry silk. The masks come in four different colors (black, white, pink and grey) and have a pocket to fit any kind of HEPA filter for added protection. CILQUE only uses non-toxic, hypoallergenic, machine-washable and lab-tested fabrics, ensuring your must-have accessory is as safe as it is chic and functional. CILQUE: $29.99

 

Bare Necessities

Possibly the most underrated travel essential prior to COVID-19: toilet paper. TP Kits are the simple, but smart, accessory you may never leave home without again. These packs include toilet paper and wet wipes for $2–10, for singles or 10-packs. TP Kits are 100 percent biodegradable and great for camping and road trips, or just as an emergency stash. TP Kits: $2–10

 

Calming Clean

Pure Bloom CBD

Keep the family’s hands clean and moisturized with Pure Bloom’s organic CBD hand sanitizer. The spray utilizes natural, skin-loving elements along with virus-fighting antiseptic ingredients to protect and nourish sensitive skin. Pure Bloom CBD – Hand Sanitizer & Moisturizing Spray: $14
