Available in loads of colours and with lots of handy pockets, these bags are just the perfect size for a day out and about.

If you’re one of those people who finds that their travel backpack is 50% books then Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite e-reader is just what you need. It’s roughly the same size and weight of a single book however it can hold hundreds so you never need to worry about running on of reading material again. What’s more, the new Paperwhite version is now waterproof and has a low glare so it feels very similar to reading a real book.

5. Travel Journal

A travel journal is one of the best ways to document your travels and it’s something that’s so nice to look back on in coming years. We love this stylish hardcover one which comes with loads of space for you to write, add photos and keep mementoes of all of your travels.

6. Wireless Headphones

Good headphones are essential when travelling, especially if you want to listen to music in louder places such as on planes, buses and hostels. These wireless Bluetooth headphones are just what you need with their handy compactable size and noise cancelling qualities.
