With this Emergency Travel Kit, you’ll be prepared for pretty much any major travel troubles, from chapped lips to a bad snack attack.
Pick up a cute pouch (have it monogrammed if you’re feeling fancy), pack it well, and stash it away for your next trip—or gift it to your favorite jet setter.
The starting point? A great bag: leather, monogrammed, and large enough to fit all the essentials—but chic enough to double as a going-out clutch. Mark & Graham’s version hits the target.

Luxury toothpaste? The old travel-size standbys are fine, but trust us, Marvis is a real treat. Made in Italy, the brand is a cult-favorite (yes, such a thing exists for toothpaste), and the packaging makes for a slick souvenir, too.

Pipcorn’s mini, hull-less kernels are also all natural, vegan, gluten-free and GMO-free, popped in small batches and—oh yeah—completely addictive. The kettle corn flavor is a fave; toss a handful in a sandwich bag for a virtually-guiltless on-the-go snack.

Not the bad-for-you junk food it used to be, jerky is actually a traveler’s best friend: it’s loaded with protein, easy to carry and doesn’t go bad. Here’s the tastiest jerky—made from filet mignon—we’ve come across.
