Buy now £259, Amazon iBlockCube Worldwide Travel Adapter IBlockCube At least once during every holiday packing process, usually whilst rummaging through a box of travel plugs, I consider how much easier it would be if every country used the same sockets. Even if that’s not possible, the iBlockCube travel adaptor takes away the need to buy several adaptors for different countries and devices as it works in over 150 countries including the US, EU, UK, Australia and much of Asia. The travel adaptor has 4 plugs which can be accessed by the multiple sliders and lock buttons on the side. It also has 3 fast-charging USB-A ports and 2 Type C ports meaning you don’t have to pack hundreds of plugs and adaptors for your next trip as you can charge up to 6 devices simultaneously and quickly. Buy now £27.99, Amazon Trtl Pillow Original trtl pillow Whilst long car, plane or train journeys are rarely the best part of a holiday, they can definitely be made more comfortable (and therefore enjoyable) with the Trtl Pillow Original. The Trtl pillow has a soft fleece feel and contains internal support which keeps your head upright while sleeping so you don’t end up straining your neck or falling asleep in awkward positions. What we loved most about this pillow was its compact size compared to other travel pillows on the market. The Trtl easily folds up so it is no bigger than a scarf and fits neatly into the travel bag provided. It is also fully adjustable so you can place the internal support mechanism against your neck where it suits you best. The velcro attachment then allows you to decide how tight you want the pillow wrapped.
