Top 10 Travel Basics

So we wanted to assemble some nice, handy, useful or just necessary goods to come along. Bon voyage.

1. Travel Almanac

Yes, this is like the third issue of Daily Basics featuring a book or magazine but we are just hooked on nice print publications with great pictures, texts and stories.

2. Marvis Toothpaste

Keeps you fresh and clean even on long distance trips. The Marvis toothpaste, blending beautiful old-school branding with modern formulation and appeal. Apparently ‘Marvis toothpaste transforms a simple daily gesture into a moment of pure pleasure’. Not sure about that but it’ll definitely refresh you after a long daytrip.

3. Hoodie Pillow

No more neck pain with the travel hoodiepillow that combines pillow and hoodie in one. Works perfect for airline travel, road trips, sports teams, business traveling, lunch break napping and anyone looking for a little privacy or shut-eye no matter where you are.

Sometimes the best ideas pop up while beeing out there touring. So if you need to make notes use the ‘Expert Cowhide Leather Travelers Notebook’ from Japanese Stationery Experts Midori. The cover is made of leather, it comes in black and brown. The pad has 64 pages and an additional cotton pouch bag. Self-assertive in an unobtrusive way, the notebook looks more and more beautiful as you use it.

5. Toothbrush

Having toothpaste is only useful if you have a toothbrush to use it. This one is from Hay is made of untreated beechwood, sterilised and has bleached natural bristles.

6. Klean Kanteen

Already when I leave the house for a longer trip I somehow get crazy thirsty before I reach the subway station. So no matter where I go, I need liquids. One of the best ways to carry them is the Klean Kanteen, the ultimate answer to a safe alternative to plastic or lined aluminium bottles. Hardwearing and durable, this bottle will keep your drinks cool and fresh. It was the first BPA-free metal bottle on the market, helping change the way people think and drink ever since.

8. Victorinox

Founded in 1884, Victorinox has been producing expert multi-purpose knives for the Swiss army for over 100 years. Now celebrated for their iconic aesthetic as much as their multi-function, Victorinox Swiss army knives are a timeless design classic. This is the ‘Officer’s Knife’ in its purest form.
