Anyone got a recommendation for a travel pillow? Was going to get the ostrich go pillow for £55 on Amazon, worth it?

Earlier in the thread this one was recommended by a few people.

I know the posts about travel adapters are from 7 years ago but my other half and I now travel with just one of these each. Not the same make but similar. The ones we have are branded RAVPower but I couldn't find them. With the exception of her hair gadgets its all we need. We have a selection of mains to figure 8 cables so never need to take a travel adapter with us saving the bulk that a UK 3 pin plug + adapter takes. The adapter will charge anything that needs USB power inc our laptops and should one fail with 4 sockets each the other is sufficient for a trip.

I've just been through a "travel refresh"...

Bought a bunch of stuff but best/most useful are...

TomToc Organiser with a spare of everything so I can just leave it in my carry on when home and not have to remember anything when I leave (laptop charger, HDMI adapter, mouse, phone, etc):



ESR folding iPhone/AirPod/Apple Watch charger. Brilliant. Folds down super small, negates the requirement for 3 cables and associated charging ports/plugs.


For anything else that needs charging, multi-adapter from Bokhom


Digital luggage scale - cheap, peace of mind before airport - especially when travelling with missus...


Resealable liquid bags... Hopefully will not be needed much longer but again easy to leave in carry on and just whip out, don't get wrecked like the sandwich bags they hand out in the airport


Eye mask for sleeping on plane / bright rooms


Trtl pillow for sleeping on plane

Something I found in Amsterdam was the Secrid wallet.....can't imagine using anything else now

I remember seeing this when first posted and thinking I should consider getting one as my next wallet. Today I can't imagine using a wallet at all!

Depends on who is travelling

If it’s the family I take this extension lead in the hold luggage, can charge all the iPads, watches, phones and Nintendo’s/




Also have the Apple MagSafe Duo charge for charging phones and watches, that goes in hold luggage. Also carry two MagSafe battery packs.

Power comes from a couple of UGreen chargers, the 100W one and a 40W one.

Cables and charges go in an old BA Club World bag, I should probably sort out a new organiser.

Not sure if you were making a specific 'style' recommendation there or just the concept but I'd splash out (about £5.99 looking on Amazon) on one of the 3D ones. A lot easier to get the most out of the space than any two-sheets-of-plastic-stuck-together design.

Just seen this posted on Hot UK Deals for £15 on Amazon, you have to click the redeem. Worth noting that it's only rated at 5 amps so don't expect to fast charge anything with USB C, well not without an extra power brick.

Bargain, well spotted. Ordered.
