Top Travel Gifts + Inside My Toiletry Bag

December 10, 2018

Tis the season for holiday travel, weekend trips, and LOTS of packing and unpacking.  I thought it would be helpful to share what I keep in my overnight toiletry bag as well as some of the best gifts for any travel lovers you have on your list.

Top Travel Gifts + Inside My Toiletry Bag | The Overnight Essentials

Is there anything worse than staying at a friends or going on a trip and realizing you forgot that ONE thing?  I got tired of continuing to do this so I finally took one of my makeup bags and put all of my essential toiletry items into it.  This little bag has everything I need for a weekend away and is small enough for me to throw into a tote or even keep in my car!

This tends to be the time of year where I may overindulge during a night out and end up crashing at a friend’s house so having my must have items handy is super helpful.  Here’s a quick list of what I’ve deemed necessary:

  • contact case with solution inside
  • deodorant
  • body wash
  • makeup removing wipes
  • travel toothbrush and toothpaste {cannot tell you how many times this has saved me}
  • lip balm
  • face spin brush
  • face wash
  • washcloth
  • face moisturizer
  • lotion
  • eyebrow pencil {ok maybe not ~necessary but it is nice to have!}
  • mouthwash

There are a few other items that I didn’t picture but definitely recommend:

  • extra pair of underwear
  • feminine products {you’ll be grateful at some point!}
  • hair ties
  • bobby pins

What are some of the must have items that you need for overnight trips/sleepovers?

I gifted the scratch off map to my cousin last year; she’s still very young {3 tomorrow!}, but I think this is a fun way for her to see where she’s been as she gets older.  A jewelry organizer is SO ideal.  I used to always put my various necklaces, bracelets, and earrings into individual snack sized ziplock bags, and can say that I -much- prefer the method of using a jewelry organizer.  I’ve given a portable mobile battery to every member of my immediate family.

When I travel, I use my phone a ton for everything from navigation, looking up places to eat, and taking photos.  Having a portable charger is so helpful and can be a lifesaver when you realize you’re down to 10% battery life. And finally — I cannot say enough good things about the fleece travel blanket.  It folds down to the size of a pillow and has a slot so that you can slip it over the handle of your luggage.  Unfolded, it’s a full length blanket that’s perfect for the car or a plane.
