They also offer a modern look, built-in TSA-approved locks, divided interiors, and wheels that turn 360 degrees.


Passport Wallet: Whether traveling internationally or not, having a passport wallet with you is never a bad idea. The Melsbrinna Passport Holder can fit not only your passport but also cash, credit cards, other forms of ID, and any necessary vaccine cards. The snap closure will keep everything safe and comes in a huge variety of colors to match both of your personalities.

These walking maps navigate cities like Venice, Barcelona, Manhattan, Paris, and more. The best part? You won’t have to rely on your phone, so you can leave it at the hotel and just enjoy your time together.

Candle: Amp up on the romance while you’re on vacation with the Nostalgia Floral Peony & Musk Glass Candle. The wedding-inspired candle is meant to evoke the memory of walking down the aisle, and the words “I Do” are written across the front. Light it in your room or on your patio while you cuddle and reminisce.


Corkscrew: Bring along a trusty corkscrew to enjoy bottles of wine no matter where you’re staying. The Travel Portable Pocket Wine Opener requires only a comfortable grip, ensuring that anyone can use it, and it also serves as a bottle opener and foil knife, so you’ll have everything you need to enjoy a romantic beverage in the room.

It has adjustable settings for flash and a built-in selfie mirror to ensure both faces are in the frame.


Bluetooth Speaker: Before you set out on your honeymoon, make a romantic playlist of tracks from your wedding, tunes that remind you of one another, and other love songs to listen to on the trip. Then pack the Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Bluetooth Speaker. This waterproof speaker can be taken along on your adventures so you can listen no matter where you are.


Deck of Cards: The Artisan Playing Cards allow you to connect as a couple while playing games in your room after days spent outdoors or at the resort. Rather than coming back and watching television, unwind doing something together to make it an even more memorable experience.

It can also be taken underwater for snorkeling, SCUBA diving trips, or simple visits to the resort pool.


Couple’s Book: Another way to connect and get closer is with the Questions for Couples Journal, which will allow you to get to know your partner better than ever before. Respond to prompts like “Would you rather spend money on a big vacation or save for a dream house?” and “If you could time travel, would you go back into the past or forward into the future?”


AirFly: If you’re not the type to sleep on the plane, bring along the AirFly Pro. This wireless audio transmitter/receiver pairs with your AirPods (BOTH of your AirPods) so you can watch a movie in sync without disturbing everyone else on the flight.
