“I never travel without them!. The sizes are all within TSA regulations (which is good if you are a carry-on gal like me) and are much easier to put your liquids in and get them out. The other cool thing is they are made 100% from recycled plastic so you are helping the planet by buying them and also not buying single use plastic for travel size containers when you do travel. Pretty awesome!”
Kelley McLain, Leisure Advisor Support Specialist
$90
“This brand is so fun and I live this see-through train case for traveling. When I’m on the road, it's an ideal storage solution on the bathroom vanity. I can see everything in one place, so nothing gets left behind!l”
Lindsay Graham, Director of M&I Key Accounts
$40
“I have a standard rolling suitcase with a handle, but for a carry on I like to mix in a few different bags, depending on the trip. A travel belt allows me to quickly (and stylishly) connect the two together when zooming through the terminal or to the taxi stand. It’s one of those things that you don’t know you need until you get one, and then you can’t live without it.”
Neda Heffron, Sr. Director of Marketing
$55
A thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to travel, this luggage tag is made from soft pebbled leather in a beautiful array of colors. “There is something about a monogrammed luggage tag and passport holder that really ties your travel look together!”
Chelsea Petre, Director of Marketing
$378
“The perfect carry-on bag! It has a trolley sleeve so you can slide it over your suitcase handle, a spot for your laptop, a pocket for your shoes (perfect for switching between heels and flats on the go!) and ample storage space.”
Chelsea Petre, Director of Marketing
$8 and up
“Rugged silicone and a metal cable mean this tag (which comes two to a pack) may well outlive your luggage. The brightly colored case displays its owner’s name but keeps other personal information out of sight.”
Karen Campbell, Marketing Content Manager
$65
“The perfect gift for literally anyone who owns a suitcase. They keep my clothes organized and neat in my suitcase. Also makes it easy to keep clean clothes separate from dirty clothes”
Ashley Cartier, Event Technology Manager
$69
“I keep a valet tray on my nightstand at home, so when I’m on the road I like to bring one with me as well. This one folds flat making it easy to slip into any bag almost unnoticed. When travelling, it becomes a great place to throw your watch, your wallet, your room key, etc., while in your room. Those little bits of organizing go a long way to helping me stay sane away from home.”
John Knob, Sr. Director of Culture
$49
“My skin gets very dry while in the air. Applying this under your sleep mask gives you super hydrated skin by the time you land!”
Gloria Mosely, Business Development Manager
$60
A versatile, wonderfully comfortable travel pillow that features a compressible memory-foam core and a soft, stretchy cover that's both removable and washable. “I can’t travel without it. This neck pillow saves me from starting my trip off with a kink in the neck!”
Isabella Herrera, Advisor Support Specialist
$128
“I love any comfy travel poncho! They are perfect to layer on top of any outfit - they are easy to take on and off and keeps me warm when needed.”
Kat Scott, Manager of Sourcing + Industry Relations
$75
“This scarf can be used as a blanket on the plane and also functions as a pretty wrap for an evening event! In other words, it’s PERFECT.”
Halsey Resing, Sr. Sourcing Manager
$22
“For long haul flights, I never go without one. Planes are not made for short people and often my feet don’t comfortably touch the floor. It improves circulation, helps prevent lower back pain and stiffness by allowing me to comfortably reposition & even stretch by fully extending my legs.”
Karen Campbell, Marketing Content Manager
$20
“This is my #1 item I always bring in my personal bag. It fits nicely on the seat tray and makes me feel good about eating off a clean surface. It also has packets that hang that I can store my phone, headphones, water bottle and small snack in so I don’t have to keep digging through my backpack throughout the flight. Plus, its machine washable so I can easily through it into the wash after every flight!.”
Ashley Cartier, Event Technology Manager
Our fabulous CEO & Founder (and perhaps the most traveled out of the entire Cadence crew) takes us on a tour of her carry on, sharing the inside scoop (literally) of her top 3 “must haves” while on the road.
Hand Cream. “I love having hand cream, as my hands get dry when traveling. I have it in my hand carry at all times!”
Cadence Pick: Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve, $16 for 2.5oz
Lavender essential oil. “It’s calming and nice to put on your temples or a pillow when traveling, on long plane rides, or in and out of different hotels.”
Cadence Pick: doTERRA Lavender Oil, $34 for 15ml
Snacks. “Of course! You never know when you will be delayed, and having little bags of nuts keeps me from being hangry when waking in the middle of the night in different time zone.”
Cadence Pick: Whole Foods 365 Cape Cod Trail Mix, $6+ for 14oz
Wendy in our HQ at 7701 Herschel Ave, La Jolla CA
From $39
“It is the best!! It is about the size of ChapStick so will not take up any room and it is quick and holds a charge well! Airport wall plugs are always in the worst spot/ crowded with so many people, so it helps to have this with me!
Brittain Cetina, Registration Specialist
$99
“Despite being so small, it sounds amazing and can fill a room easily, much better than the tinny sounding alarm clock speakers in most hotel rooms. It also travels really well, and almost disappears in my suitcase.”
Dana Valdez, Advisor Support Specialist
From $29
“If you’ve ever had your luggage lost or worried about losing your luggage, then it’s an extra sigh of relief to be able to see where your suitcase, passport, keys, wallet, etc.. are throughout your travels! As we all know, sometimes the airline’s baggage tracking isn’t updated as quickly as we would like it to be, so tracking via an AirTag gives me peace of mind. You can literally put one on anything and find it easily.”
Meaghan Carfrey, Director of Strategic Accounts
From $22
“I can’t travel without a portable white noise machine. They help me fall asleep and block out noises of people walking through the hallways at night (or early morning) when staying in a hotel room. I also bring the rechargeable one on camping trips.”
Halsey Resing, Sr. Sourcing Specialist
$59
”AirFly Pro lets me use my AirPods (or other wireless headphones) with in-flight entertainment or and other situations where there's a wired jack and no Bluetooth connectivity. Simply plug AirFly Pro into the headphone jack to watch or listen! And you can share it with others as well, so watch together. It’s genius!”
Nina Barzyk, Digital Marketing Manager
From $129
“There’s no replacing a quality set of noise-cancelling headphones for blocking out whatever life sends my way. They help me to drown out crying babies and loud talkers 😊. And the AirPods are so convenient to use for work and play too, seamlessly jumping from Zoom calls to podcasts with ease, and connecting to my devices easily and quickly. Worth the splurge!”
Elisa Pak, VP of Sales & Marketing
From $12
“I love this because anything that can help me be hands-free is a plus! And makes catching up on shows or movies that much easier. And over 8,000 Five Star rating on Amazon prove it works. “
Gloria Mosely, Business Development Manager
$50
“You can never have too many chargers these days, especially ones like this that are both stylish and super easy to pack. This one is so much more compact than my other portable chargers, and I love that I can slide it into my wallet or pocket.“
Sarah Curtis, Account Manager
$90, 1 oz
The groundbreaking serum is formulated with 21 potent plant extracts—including Turmeric, known for its exceptional anti-aging properties—to address all visible signs of skin aging. “I love this because it smoothes and hydrates my face after flying!”
Elisa Pak, VP of Sales & Marketing
$48
“This mask is cool, soft, and its wraparound design means no elastic to squeeze the back of your head. It’s ridiculously comfortable. The best part may be the fact that it’s both silk AND washable, meaning you get a luxury product that you don’t have to be precious with. Sizes and colors available for both men and women.”
John Knob, Sr. Director of Culture
$40
“It is so hard to stay hydrated on the road because I can never find enough water bottles in hotels. Now, I pack this, fill it up with ice from the hallway ice machine and water and I can stay hydrated all day!”
Anna Sullivan, Operations Manager
$321
“After being a loyal AWAY owner for several years, I thought I’d try out their competitor – Monos. While I sacrified AWAY’s portable charger (which airlines have you remove before boarding), I gained more pockets and a sleeve for my laptop! Much easier to get in and out than my carry-on bag – and less weight!”
Karen Campbell, Marketing Content Manager
$169
“Another travel item that I cannot live without! My travel jewelry case has been a life saver to not have tangled necklaces and earrings in a bunch of different ziploc bags!” This one from Mark & Graham features divided compartments for your bigger and smaller items.
Kelley McLain, Leisure Advisor
$105
“I love these for traveling! They are breathable and super comfortable for long walks through the airport and to wear on the plane. And I love that they are made with responsibly sourced eucalyptus tree fiber as well.”
Elisa Pak, VP of Sales & Marketing (plus many other other Cadence team members!)
$68
Made for the traveler who prefers to take their entire routine with them, no one should have to compromise their skincare regimen, keeping every last essential organized and hanging at your fingertips! “The best of the best!”
Nina Barzyk, Digital Marketing Manager

Seven travel-sized essentials to cleanse and moisturize hands, maintain optimum hydration for the skin, and ensure oral hygiene. “I fell in love with Aesop’s products years ago and I’ve never looked back. This travel set is a great intro to the brand’s line of classics, and they’ll surely thank you for such an elegant gift.”
John Knob, Sr. Director of Culture
$20
“They are the most comfortable socks in the world and so relaxing and cozy during a long flight or just to wear around your guest room!”
Jennifer Kijewski, Account Manager
“Artifact Uprising creates beautiful products and uses recycled and reclaimed materials. Their photo books are the perfect way to memorialize your trips!”
Chelsea Petre, Director of Marketing
$29/100ct
“These are soft earplugs that you insert about a half-hour before takeoff, then remove and reinsert about an hour before landing. They are absolute lifesavers for anyone who has problems with ear pressure during flights!”
Stephen Rykowski, Business Travel Technology Specialist
$53
“The perfect little pick-me-up, relieves stiff travel necks and shoulders, and smells great!”
Meaghan Carfrey, Director of Strategic Accounts
“I have used Flytographer on a trip to Paris and a trip to Hawaii. Having a professional photographer capture memories on your vacation is gold!”
Chelsea Petre, Director of Marketing
$20
“They're super comfy and keep your feet cozy and warm. Perfect to wear while in your hotel room or on the plane too, just not the bathroom please.”
Hilary Menafra, Business Travel Specialist
