The 13 custom travel gifts in the US to make every trip special – curated by a travel writer

Here's a rewritten version of the text without the extraneous formatting:

I consider crisp, classic menswear-style pajamas a travel essential: no matter the destination or climate, I pack a pair for every single trip. This pair from Olive & Cocoa has a long-sleeve button top, drawstring elastic pants and white piping. The set feels extra luxe thanks to 100% cotton fabric and a bold monogram of two overlapping initials embroidered in a fanciful font.

I also love customized bags from Clare V. Their Los Angeles-based aesthetic is "laid-back California style with Parisian polish". They offer playful ways to customize their handbags, including monogramming in gold letters or colorful hand-painted initials and phrases. You can also add straps made from gold chains, resin links or studs – plus whimsical bobbles and charms such as cute pups, cameos and hot lips.

For a more practical option, I turn to Leatherology's Transit Travel Tote. It's a pebbled leather beauty with two exterior pockets, nine interior pockets, two zippered compartments, a laptop sleeve and a key leash. The handy trolley pocket attaches the tote to a suitcase for smooth travel. Leatherology also offers Trapunto monogramming, which uses a special quilting method to stitch initials and raise the leather.

Another great option is Away's Featherlight Weekender. This lightweight yet roomy bag makes an ideal carry-on, weekender or gym bag. It features a zippered front pocket to keep essentials handy, two side pockets, an interior padded laptop pocket and a trolley sleeve to attach it to a suitcase. Convertible straps mean it can be carried by hand, shoulder or across the body.

For a more luxurious option, I look to Clare V's Midi Bag. It has a timeless design that looks so classic it still holds up after 15 years of ownership. Crossbody bags such as the Midi Bag and the best-selling Grande Fanny help my hands stay free while I'm on the go, and the Flat Clutches hardly take up any space in a suitcase.

Overall, these are just a few examples of how you can elevate your travel style with customized luggage and accessories. Whether you're looking for practicality, luxury or a mix of both, there's something on this list that's sure to suit your needs.
 
I'm totally obsessed with packing the right luggage when I travel! 😊 It's like, you never know what adventures await, and having the right gear can make all the difference. For me, it's all about finding a balance between style and functionality - whether it's a chic pair of PJs or a practical tote bag 🛫🧳. And I love how some brands, like Clare V and Leatherology, offer customization options that let you add your own personal touch 👑💼. Plus, with so many great options out there, you can always find something to suit your vibe - whether it's luxury, practicality or a little bit of both 💯.
 
I'm totally obsessed with packing light but still rocking some serious style when I travel. 😎 Those menswear-style PJs from Olive & Cocoa are everything - who says you can't look sharp while getting cozy? 🤗 Customized bags like Clare V's are also a game-changer for me, especially the way they offer so many fun ways to add a personal touch without breaking the bank. 🤑 I've been eyeing that Leatherology Transit Tote for ages - nine interior pockets? That's some next-level organization skills right there! 💼
 
I gotta say, all these high-end luggage options look super pricey... like, I get it, they're made from quality materials and are thoughtfully designed, but $500+ for a bag? That's just not my vibe 🤯. I'd rather spend that cash on some sick travel vibes, you know? Maybe something with more personality, like a vintage scarf or a bold print tee? Less stuff is often better when it comes to packing, imo 😎.
 
🛫️ gotta say, who doesn't love travel essentials 🚗? like packing just one pair of comfy jammies for every trip 😴... olive & cocoa's menswear-style PJs are soooo cute 👕! and clare v's customized bags are everything 💁‍♀️... customize with monograms or fun charms, and you've got a bag that's truly you 🎨. but, for me, leatherology's transit tote is the ultimate travel sidekick 📦... pebbled leather, pockets galore, and it attaches to my suitcase like a charm 🔩. plus, away's featherlight weekender is my go-to gym bag 👟... lightweight, roomy, and perfect for a workout on the go 🏋️‍♀️. anyway, travel essentials are key to stress-free trips 😌.
 
I'm loving the idea of bespoke travel essentials 🛫️! There's something so special about having a one-of-a-kind piece that adds a touch of personality to your adventures. I've always been obsessed with customized bags - there's just something about adding those extra details like monogramming or hand-painted designs that makes them truly unique and Instagram-worthy 😍. And can we talk about the practicality of these bags? From Leatherology's transit tote to Away's Featherlight Weekender, it's clear that you've got your essentials covered when it comes to packing light 💼.
 
I was at the beach last weekend and saw some crazy seagulls 🐦 fighting over food on the sand, it was hilarious! Anyway, back to travel stuff... I love how these bags are all customizable, like you can add your initials or monogram in gold letters. Reminds me of when I went to Japan and saw these tiny souvenir bags with cute characters on them, I bought a million of them 😂. Have you guys ever gotten those?
 
omg i gotta say i'm so over the "one suitcase rule" lol who says u have 2 pack light just bc u r travelin ? i mean dont get me wrong packing strategically is key but having a few extra comfy essentials like a pair of matching menswear-style PJs or a cute customized bag can be a total game changer on long flights or road trips. i love how these brands are offerin customization options too so u can add ur own personal touch to make ur luggage stand out
 
omg u guys I'm literally OBSESSED with these custom bags from Clare V!! they offer so many options like monogramming in gold letters and hand-painted initials... it's like u can make the bag 100% personalized to ur style 🤩 but for real though what's up with the lack of vegan leather options? I know its not a major issue but as someone who's getting closer to going full plant-based, it would be awesome to see more eco-friendly alternatives. and btw, Away's Featherlight Weekender is literally the perfect travel bag - so lightweight yet roomy! 👍
 
I gotta say, I'm not convinced that all these designer bags and customized luggage are the ultimate travel essentials 🤔. Don't get me wrong, they look fancy, but is it really worth breaking the bank for a few extra pockets or a monogram? I mean, what's a couple of hundred bucks gonna do for you when you're stuck on a plane with limited legroom and overpriced snacks? I've seen some pretty handy DIY storage solutions online that can give you similar functionality without the hefty price tag. And let's be real, who really needs a bespoke bag with gold chains and studs? 😂 Give me a good ol' fashioned backpack any day of the week.
 
can't believe all the emphasis on luxury travel and stuff 🤯 i mean dont get me wrong, a good pair of pants is comfy but what about people who can't afford to spend 200+ on a bag 🤑 or those who are traveling in developing countries with limited access to clean water and sanitation? shouldnt we be prioritizing accessibility over aesthetics?
 
I'm so over the hassle of packing and unpacking when I travel 🤯. I swear by those cute travel bags from Away and Leatherology - they're literally my lifesavers! The featherlight weekender from Away is perfect for short trips, and that trolley sleeve attachment is a game-changer. And if you're going for luxury vibes, Clare V's Midi Bag is gorgeous 🤑...I mean, who doesn't love a classic design that still looks fabulous after 15 years? 😎 I've also started DIY-ing my own travel accessories - customizing bags with monogramming and adding cute bobbles or charms is so much fun 💕. Plus, it's a great way to make your luggage stand out from the crowd! 👍
 
i think its great how brands like olive & cocoa and clare v are making travel essentials more stylish and customizable. i mean, who doesn't love a good monogram or personalized touch? 🤩 leatherology's transit tote is also super practical and has so many pockets for all my stuff. but sometimes i wish those bags were just a little bit lighter, you know? especially when im trying to squeeze into that small airplane seat 😅 anyway, it looks like clare v really knows how to balance laid-back cali vibes with parisian polish. love that about their aesthetic 👗
 
🛍️ I gotta say, packing the right essentials is key to making travel way more enjoyable. For me, it's all about finding those hidden gems that make a big difference in comfort and style. I'm loving the idea of customizable bags and luggage - there's something so satisfying about adding your own personal touch to an already amazing piece. 💼 Leatherology's Transit Travel Tote is giving me major organizational goals with all its pockets and compartments... talk about stress-free travel! 🙌
 
Traveling is like chasing the fleeting moments of clarity in life... I mean, have you ever really thought about why we need these fancy travel essentials? It's not just about looking good, it's about feeling secure and organized. These bags and clothes are our little talismans against the uncertainty of the road. And yet, sometimes I wonder if we're just using them to distract ourselves from the uncertainty within. I mean, do we really need a fancy monogram on our bag to make us feel like we've got it all under control? Or are we just buying into this idea that external trappings can somehow fix what's missing inside?

Ugh, I don't know... maybe I'm just overthinking things again 🤔. But seriously, have you ever noticed how these travel essentials seem to be getting more and more luxurious? It's like we're competing in some kind of bizarre, materialistic Olympics. And what's the real prize here? Is it really about having the most exclusive bag or pair of pajamas? Or is it something deeper?
 
I gotta say, packing is like trying to find a needle in a haystack... or a decent flight deal 🤣! But seriously, who doesn't love a good set of travel PJs? And those customized bags from Clare V? Forget about it, they're the bomb dot com 💥! I mean, who wouldn't want their bag monogrammed with gold chains and resin links? Sounds like the ultimate status symbol... or just something to make your bag stand out in a sea of sameness 🤷‍♂️. And Leatherology's Transit Travel Tote? That thing is like the Swiss Army knife of bags - it's got pockets for everything! 💪
 
🚀🛬[Image of a suitcase with a cool design]😎 Travel essentials are where it's at! I'm all about those classic menswear-style PJs, and now they're getting the luxe treatment 🤑. Customized bags? Yes, please! 🎨 Leatherology's Transit Tote is giving me life 🚗, and Clare V's Midi Bag is just... everything 👗. Who needs a fancy wallet when you can get a customized one with your initials? 💸🔥
 
travel essentials 😊 I think having some stylish yet functional pieces in my suitcase is key to making any trip feel more enjoyable 🗺️ especially when it comes to choosing comfy PJs for downtime - who doesn't love a good pair of soft cotton drawstring pants? 🛍️ but what really takes travel packing to the next level are those little customized touches that make your luggage stand out from the crowd 💼 like leather monogramming or colorful hand-painted initials... it's the little things that can make all the difference in how stylish and put-together you feel while on the go 🌟
 
I'm so over those boring, generic travel bags 🤯. Who says they gotta be plain? You can make even the most basic luggage pop with some sick customized accessories 🔥. Like, have you seen Clare V's bags? They're fire 💁‍♀️. And that Leatherology tote? Game changer 👗. I mean, who needs just one or two pockets when you can have nine interior pockets and two zippered compartments 🤔. It's all about the details, am I right? 👀
