The Carlisle & Co. team is currently gearing up for our annual retreat at the end of the month. We’ll be sure to bring you along for all the fun (take a look at last year’s trip!), but until then…

We thought it’d be fun to focus on our favorite finds for travel!

1. Kindle Paperwhite

If you love to read, a Kindle Paperwhite is a no-brainer addition to your travel essentials. The ultra-thin and waterproof design and large, glare-free screen makes it easy to read, no matter where you are. Better yet, a single charge lasts up to 12 weeks, ensuring that you’re always ready to read one of 15 million available books. Happy reading!

2. Senreve Maestra Bag

If you need a new travel bag, look no further than this versatile option! Created for both design and function, it features eight interior compartments and can hold up to a 15-inch laptop (with a padded compartment for 13-inch laptops). The best part? It can be worn as a satchel, tote, crossbody, or backpack, depending on where you day takes you. 

Looking for a smaller bag? We also own and love the Mini Maestra Bag — perfect for your everyday essentials!

3. Magnetic Phone Charger

We’re constantly struggling with a low phone battery and no charger in sight. Fortunately, this magnetic, wireless portable charger solves that problem! The slim design makes it easy to pack, and it can supply your phone with up to 84 percent battery charge. Plus, the foldable stand comes in handy when you need to be hands-free!

4. Oversized Sweatshirt

This cozy oversized sweatshirt is perfect for a long travel day. Throw it on with a pair of leggings and cute sneakers, and you’ll be comfortable as you head to your destination!

5. Second Life Podcast

Second Life is a podcast hosted by Hilary Kerr that spotlights the career changes that can come at any age. With guests like Shea McGee, Reese Witherspoon, Gaby Dalkin, and Kristen Bell, it’s chock full of wisdom to help you live your best life — both professionally and personally. It’s the perfect companion to a long car or plane ride!

6. Atomic Habits

This book is a must-read at the start of every new year. No matter your goals, author James Clear offers a proven framework for improving your everyday behaviors, teaching you how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny shifts that lead to lasting results. 

7. LMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix

One of our team’s travel must-haves is electrolytes from LMNT! These grab-and-go packets pack a big punch to support your energy and hydration levels. The science-backed electrolyte ratio includes 1,000 milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium, and 60 milligrams of magnesium with no sugar, no fillers, and no dodgy ingredients. To enjoy, add a packet to your water bottle. Pro tip: Watermelon salt is our favorite!

8. Bryn Wool Coat

This coat is the ultimate layering piece. Thanks to the wrap silhouette and slim, tailored lapel, it looks equally chic over a hooded sweatshirt and leggings as it does over a midi dress and boots. You can wear it belted or unbelted as the finishing touch to any outfit. It’s so good, we bought it twice — in both camel (linked above) and black
