5 Travel Essentials to Pack for Your Next Weekend Away

Picture this: you’ve been looking forward to this trip for months. You’ve made the time, working around your friends’ or family’s schedules, and found the perfect destination that everyone agrees on. You are all super excited; everything is packed and ready to go. Tomorrow morning you’ll be in that car or on that plane towards your dream destination.

Suddenly, you feel like you forgot something; panic sets in, and your stress levels skyrocket. You need to find out what you’ve missed or what you need that you didn’t even realise will be very useful later.

At Park On King, we’ve helped families with travel solutions for years and decided to create our Travel Essentials section, featuring everything from audio gear to kids’ toys. It helps you find the things you didn’t realise you needed when you were stressed and in a rush.

Tech Gadget 

Raw Techlabs Travel Adaptor 

Have you ever arrived at your hotel room with your phone on low battery, trying to find a charger, only to realise you can’t charge it because you didn’t bring a universal adapter? This is one of the most important tech gadgets that will last forever and go with you on every trip. The Raw Techlabs Travel Adaptor is the perfect travel essential for your next weekend away. It has one USB-C and three USB connections to keep your family connected. This universal adaptor works with multiple outlets worldwide, so you won’t need to buy several adaptors.

Sleep Made Simple

SnoozeKing

Sleep should be one of the most important parts of a flight or drive; it can also be the most difficult due to limited space, noise and bright lights. This perfect bundle, filled with the essentials to help you sleep like a baby on your long-haul flight or drive, is the best. The Snooze King comes equipped with a comfy memory foam neck pillow, eye mask and earplugs. The neck pillow is great for supporting your neck in an upright, comfortable position; it keeps your head rested and positioned to help prevent neck pain. The eye mask is contoured around your eyes to avoid putting pressure on your eyes and eyelashes and to block out bright lights or sunlight. Lastly, the earplugs complete the bundle, blocking out snoring and other loud sounds to help you get the best sleep of your life.

Fun Challenge

Rubik’s Cube

Sometimes watching movies constantly on a plane or scrolling on social media in your car can become boring and repetitive; it’s usually a good time to switch it up and get off technology to give your eyes a break and to let your brain reset. The Rubik’s Cube is a great challenge, testing your patience, strategy and hand-eye coordination. If you’re travelling with family or friends, why not see who can complete as much as possible in a set amount of time, or who can complete a whole side the quickest?

Kids Activity

Led Pop Fidget Tubes 12 Pack

Kids can be very unpredictable; at any moment, they could start screaming and crying. It’s usually at that moment that parents scramble for something to entertain them; typically, a phone is given to them to calm them down. Instead, consider these twelve-pack LED pop fidget tubes—great little toys for practising hand-eye coordination and to keep kids entertained for hours. The tubes can pop and bend into many different shapes, and the different colours make them more interesting and playful. You can focus on relaxing while your kids are safely playing independently. ​

Hydration Help

A bottle that can do both? Keep your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot; this might sound too good to be true. Your travel buddy is a triple-wall insulated water bottle. Protect hot beverages from the chilly winter air and keep your cold drinks icy and refreshing. It comes with two leak-proof lids to meet all your drinking needs. A screw cap lid is excellent for drinking coffee and tea, and a quick-sip lid is perfect for water and juice, including a straw cleaner to make it easy to get into the straw’s long and narrow shape. This bottle is the total package and acts as a two-in-one, definitely the best travel buddy money can buy.
