Throughout my life I've been told I'd 'lose my head if it weren't screwed on', and have been known to leave my suitcase on the train, my passport on the plane and my purse on the bar.

I really would be lost without Apple AirTags, which I've attached to my keys and added one to my suitcase.

The Bluetooth trackers are the ideal solution for scatterbrains, and also for safety if you're solo travelling, so friends and family can know your whereabouts.

Was £119 for four.

I was always a paperback book purist until I got my Kindle.

It really is a game-changer for reading, purely for the amount of space it saves in your bag, rather than having to carry around three heavy books, which often end up getting soggy and damaged.

Was £239.99. 

A travel adapter is an absolute must if you're going abroad, and I always leave this one in my suitcase so I never forget to pack it.

It fits any plug sockets around the world, and also has two USB ports, as well as three slots for USB-C cables, so you can charge five different devices at the same time.

Was £21.24

Decanting liquids into little travel bottles has been an absolute gamechanger for me when it comes to travelling with hand luggage only.

This TSA-approved clear case comes with four containers you can pour all your lotions and potions in to.

It also includes waterproof sticker labels to avoid you mixing up your shampoo with your moisturiser.

Was £9.89. 

A bigger set of compression packing cubes is also on offer in Amazon's Black Friday sale. 

As well as four different-sized cubes, this set includes a makeup bag, toiletries bag, dry cleaning carrier and a bag for dirty clothes. 

The bags are made from nylon fabric and are waterproof and tearproof. 

They also have their own carrying handles for easy transport, and can be easily folded when not in use.

Was £15.99.

I bought a blackout eye mask for a long-haul flight originally, and it's so good I use it in bed every night now, and my sleep has got so much better.

Designed to prevent pressure on your eyes, this 3D sleep mask is perfect for sensitive eyes or those with lash extensions.

Made from premium memory foam and soft, breathable material, it offers superior comfort and light-blocking ability.

Was £12.99. 

While slightly bulky and heavy, this is probably the best portable charger I've ever used.

You can charge multiple devices at a time with the two in-device cables (one of which is extendable), and the power source permits multiple charges over the course of several days, meaning that for short haul trips, you wouldn't even need to take an adaptor.

The device is also powerful enough to recharge a laptop to full power in under 90 minutes. It's one of the best power banks reviewed and rates by us. 

Was £89.98. 

A good base layer is essential for those winter travel plans. Whether you're jetting off somewhere cold for Christmas or hiking in the peak district, these affordable layers will keep you warm. 

£10 if you're a Go Outdoors member or £18 if not. There's also an extra 15% off some deals with BF15 

Save £68 on an essential piece of travel kit - a robust cabin bag.

This expandable one from Antler is compliant with most airlines and is made from a polypropylene shell that's lightweight but can still withstand those inevitable bumps and scrapes.

This brand features in our best cabin suitcase guide. 

It comes in three colours too - red, blue or black. 

Was £170 (save £68)  

The Carl Freidrik sale started on Friday 21 November and this carry-on is a bargain.

It features a hard shell front pocket that's perfect for your laptop, an aluminium frame with lock 360 degree spinner wheels and a polycarbonate shell. 

Was £495.
