Katrina’s Top Pick
Micro scooter with suitcase for children
When travelling with young children, big airports can be tricky to navigate, plus all the extra luggage you need to carry for them. Having this mini scooter kills two birds with one stone. Extra luggage your child can manage themselves, plus a way for them to have fun and get through the airport with ease without having to carry your child.
The scooter has light-up wheels, which will be a hit with the kids and make it easy to keep them in sight. It is suitable for ages 2-6 and can support up to 50kg.
“Every time we use this, we get so many people saying what a great idea it is and that they should have an adult version!”
It costs £114 and you can find it here on Amazon in blue and pink.
Eugene’s Top Pick
Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter/Receiver for TV/Aeroplane
Eugene’s top pick is great for anyone who wants to use their own wireless headphones or earphones on board. While new aircraft are now usually delivered with Bluetooth, most still have wired headphone sockets. The Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter/Receiver for TV/Aeroplane can be used with any 3.5 mm Audio Jack. I have used one of these myself, and they are a handy solution that hardly takes up any room in your carry-on, so you can have your superior-quality earphones for in-flight entertainment.
It also supports dual pairing, allowing two sets of Bluetooth headphones to connect at once if you want to watch something together.
It is reduced by 21% to £47.39 and you can find all the details on Amazon here.

Callum’s Top Picks
Xiaomi metal MagSafe power bank
While it may not be the best value for money, this Xiaomi metal MagSafe power bank is stylish, well built, slim and ultra portable. It’s easy to just throw it in your bag without being weighed down.
It is priced at and you can find the Amazon page here.
Bang & Olufsen H95
You’ll find cheaper headphones out there; however, none quite match the quality and build of the H95. Callum says he has had his for about four years now, and they look and feel as great as they did when he first purchased them. They don’t hurt your head, and the sound is well-balanced, along with excellent active noise cancelling that can be adjusted with physical dials on the headphones. They’re incredible.
These are something of an investment piece with a price of
Jason’s Top Pick
For something slightly different, Jason has chosen a way to exercise wherever you are on your travels with a resistance band set. Even if there is no gym, you can still build a good workout from this kit, which takes up very little room or weight in your luggage. It also includes a door anchor to expand the range of exercises you can do.
The kit is reduced to £19.99, a 31% discount. You can find the Amazon page here.
Michele’s Top Picks
Sonic toothbrush
If you usually use an electric toothbrush, it is bulky to take away, and you also need to remember the charger. I have been using these excellent portable sonic toothbrushes for several years and recommend them. It is small and lightweight, so perfect for keeping in your bag for freshening up on board or in the airport. However, it is good enough quality to use as your day-to-day toothbrush while you are away.
The brush delivers 31,000 strokes per minute and features antimicrobial vibrating bristles and a cap that keeps your brush germ-free. It is suitable for 12+ years old, or when all adult teeth have come through. There are 8 colours to choose from, so you will know which is yours!
The brush runs on one AAA for over 90 days of brushing and also comes with two replacement heads.
The price is £9.99 during the Prime Day sale, a 23% reduction. Here is the Amazon page for the brush.
Airplane Phone Holder
If you use your phone to watch content on flights but don’t like holding it or using the tablet, this is the answer. It’s small and lightweight and folds for easy carrying. The 4-in-1 phone holder has Clip-on Mode, Clip-under Mode, Stand/Desk Mode and Handheld Mode. Its multifunction support stands on a flat desktop or clips onto objects or under objects. The plane phone mount features adjustable joints and a 360° rotation design, allowing you to position your phone at the ideal viewing angle.
UGREEN Universal Travel Adapter, 65W USB-C Charger GaN Fast Charger
I have been using these for a while, and they provide fast, reliable charging with three different plugs that slide onto the charger. This versatile 65W charger delivers enough power for most devices, ensuring fast and efficient charging. It has two USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port, delivering up to 65W of power to up to 3 devices at the same time.
The price is now £27.53, a 31% reduction. You can find the Amazon page here.
Vacuum packing bags
On my recent honeymoon, we were away for a couple of weeks with both city breaks and a beach holiday, followed by a wedding. So I needed to fit a lot into my suitcase. Vacuum bags can make a big difference to how much you can fit into your suitcase. One of the drawbacks has always been having to take a big pump with you on the way home. However, these Vacbird vacuum storage bags come with a small wireless electric air pump, which uses a USB-C socket for recharging.
The bags come in a set of 10 and are reduced to £23.40 on Amazon here.
MUSICOZY Silk Sleep Mask Headphones
I have written about this combination of headphones and eye mask before, but they have now brought out a silk version which is bound to be vene more comfortable than the original. This is perfect if you like listening to music, meditations, or an app like Calm when trying to relax or sleep. This eye mask has two built-in flat headphones that won’t hurt your ears if you are a side sleeper. The mask is wireless and can be recharged with a USB-C cable. The part that goes over the eyes is contoured so that it doesn’t press on your eyes which I really like.
These are a good deal at 34% off, bringing them to £33.23. You can find them on Amazon here.

Great list of options.
Congratulations on your wedding Michele
Thanks Polly!
A small, thin, USB-chargable desk fan. Fits any carry on. Perfect for a plane without air nozzles, or a train without air-con, plugging into a laptop while working in a cafe or lobby or hotel room. Loads of options at Prime Day prices, as low as a fiver.
