2023 Holiday Gift Guide

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Whether you need gift ideas for yourself or others, we have you covered with our favorite travel items! Merry Christmas from Come and See, we pray that you will see the light of Christ shining so brightly this holiday season!

  1. Palette by Pak High Fiver: This my #1 travel item! It’s so easy to just pull out the high fiver and have it on the counter instead of 5 individual bottles or containers! I have taken it on several 10 day+ trips and I had enough product to last the whole trip. Also, I have NEVER had it leak which is pretty amazing!

  2. Travel phone mount: There are several airlines that don’t have in seat entertainment screens or phone holders, so this really comes in handy to clip your phone up to watch a show or movie. There are some hacks on the internet that use the air sick bag, but no thank you. I’ll take this!

  3. Weekender bag: I have had this bag for years and I still love it! The compartment on the bottom is fantastic for shoes or sliding in your ipad or laptop. It also has the sleeve to slide over your luggage handle.

  4. Trtl neck pillow: This is by far the best neck pillow for sleeping on the plane! The best part? You can wrap it over your chin so your mouth doesn’t hang open!

  5. Tiles: We have these in our checked bags and there is such peace of mind seeing where your bag is when you land! You can rest easy while you’re standing there watching everyone else’s bags go by at baggage claim that your bag is at that airport and will come out eventually. Or, see exactly where it is so you can get it way faster if it didn’t make it to your destination. I’ve also heard of people putting these on their kids and strollers at Disney. Genius!

  6. Toiletry bag: Yes, this was on the guide from last year. And yes, it is still the best. I keep it semi-packed so I just have to throw a few things in, zip it up, and go. I love that it hangs… it’s just so convenient to hang it up in the bathroom and be able to grab everything you need!

  7. Luggage scale: We just got one of these this year and have used it all the time! No more guessing if your bag is under weight, being wrong, and then having to open it up on the airport floor with strangers seeing all of your stuff. Come on, you know that has happened to you before!

  8. Kindle Paperwhite: Books are heavy, and when you’re traveling you don’t want your carry on bag to weigh a ton. You can “pack” all of your books on here and save your back. It’s also waterproof! So take it to the beach or the pool and don’t worry about water damage… just enjoy reading whether you’re on a float, in the water, or on a lounge chair!

  9. Airfly Pro: I know some airlines have updated their in seat screens to be able to pair with bluetooth headphones, but the majority don’t have that capability yet. Enter the AirFly! The AirFly allows you to use your wireless headphones/ear buds with any headphone jack. No more getting tangled in cords when someone needs to get up. What I love about the AirFly Pro is that you can connect to 2 pairs of headphones, receive or transmit, and it stays charged for 25+ hours. I’ve used this a ton!

Holiday Gift Guide: Travel Essentials Edition

Christmastime is here! This time of year is the best, isn’t it? I just love the coziness and beauty of the whole season. It’s SO busy though. December holds our anniversary (17 years!), Wren’s (our daughter) birthday is Christmas Eve, Christmas, and then Andy’s birthday/New Year’s Eve is December 31st. Phew! If your month is as busy as ours, hopefully this gift guide of our favorite travel essentials will take a little off your plate. I could go on and on about these items… they really are so helpful and have made our travels way less stressful and more organized. We travel about once a month, but even if the gift recipient (or you!) isn’t a super frequent traveler, these things will still be really helpful. Do you ever look at gift guides to get ideas for things to ask for? Just me? I can’t be the only one! If you can relate, this list is not just great for gifting but for things to ask for or grab for yourself. We are praying you have the best Christmas season as we look forward to Christ’s birth!
