Traveling for the holidays or making a quick getaway afterwards? In either case you want to be comfortable; on the road, in the air and wherever you are, so we gathered our favorite sustainable items that we never leave home without.
Stay warm
Keeping the air vent open has its benefits, but not if you're shivering throughout your flight. Or maybe you're staying with relatives that keep the heat so low even that extra sweater you packed is not going to be enough. Organic cotton, lightweight blankets and throws are great shawls and an essential stylish layer for any trip.Carry your essentials
Sustainable natural jute tote bags are the perfect carry on or light enough to pack in a suitcase to use throughout your trip. Also, a great way to wrap gifts in a TSA friendly way.Lightweight bathrobes
Staying with family and friends and don't want to get dressed for breakfast or sharing a bathroom down the hall. Lightweight, easy to pack and generously sized bathrobes are a must have for everyone.Scent sensitive
Mask odors or remind yourself of home with easy to travel candle tins filled with hand poured soy candles using only natural essential oils for a variety of fragrances.Personal Care

Partnering with community outreach organizations to stretch outside their comfort zone; paying employees a living wage, they are now working towards increasing wages to a family living wage.
