I hate flying. Don’t get me wrong, I love to travel and explore new places and visit family and friends, but sitting in coach for 14 hours can only be described as a mild form of earthly hell. To ease the misery, I usually carry with me a clear pouch that sits conveniently in the seat pocket in front of me, containing a slew of amenities that make my trip more comfortable and entertaining. It occurred to me that curating such a care package would make the perfect gift for the jet-setting friend!
You can make your kit as low-cost or luxurious as your budget allows. Here are some ideas for its contents:
- sleep mask
- pack of tissues
- earplugs
- travel size toothpaste
- toothbrush
- warm socks
- hand lotion
- lip balm
- pen and notepad
- pill case
- comb
- hand sanitizing wipes
- candy
- gum
- scarf
- phone and earphones
- compact mirror
- compressed towels
- portable phone charger
Find yourself a clear pouch or bag that will fit everything. Ban.do makes some cute ones like this, or this. So does Truffle. Alternatively, there many cheaper options on Amazon.
Finally- Download and print out this free printable label to attach to your gift. Turn it into a gift tag or stick it to the front!

Such a cute idea! Where did you find the clear bags like you show in the “shop this post” section? You could do so many different themes with those!
Same! Where can we find the pouch in the post
Hi Dee, the clear bag I’ve used is a Mylar Ziplock Bag. If you do a quick search on Amazon you can find them in various sizes and colors. However, you usually can’t buy them in singles and will have to commit to a bulk pack. Hope I’ve been helpful!

This is such an adorable and useful idea! I’m a flight attendant and is kind of my job to be a good packer but this idea is great!
