Here are 9 travel-related finds at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (presale/early access for Nordstrom cardholders is happening now through July 19; after that the sale is open to everyone.

1. Diptique Travel Candles

Set of 5 mini candles ($55 during sale, $75 after sale) from French luxe candle maker/perfumer diptyque. Lighting a scented candle (aromatherapy!) is an easy way to make you feel more relaxed when sleeping away from home, especially in places that smell foreign. Each candle is individually boxed wrapped and small enough that you can just pop one in your carryon (it’s glass so don’t check it, JIC!)

2. Tory Burch Passport Wallet

Leather passport wallet ($151.90 during sale, $228 after sale). Love the blush and gold combo.

3. Leather Belt Bags

Perfect for hands-free sightseeing, the fanny pack of the 90s is reinvented and chic! I love these two picks in leather with gold hard wear.

Rebecca Minkoff Edie Leather Belt Bag $129.90 during sale, $198 after sale.

Treasure and Bond Leather Belt Bag (shown in gold, also comes in other colors), $65.90 during sale, $99 after sale.

4. Sunglasses

Sunnies are an everyday necessity that are especially important when you’re traveling (because you’ll likely be out all day sightseeing).

BP $38.90 during sale, $59 after sale; Oliver Peoples $280.90 during sale, $420 after sale.

5. Tumi Foldable Tote

$66.90 during sale, $100 after sale. We always bring a foldable bag inside our luggage  just in case we buy too many souvenirs and need to check another bag on the way home. 

6. BabyZen YoYo+ Foldable Stroller with Travel Bag

$497.90 during sale, $664 after sale. Chic tri-fold stroller fits in most overhead bins and is super popular in Paris. Comes with travel bag ($75 value), parasol, and leg rest. Must buy infant adapter separately if you want to use for travel when baby is 0-6 months old. Friends that own it love it.

7. Comfy Clothes to Wear on the Plane

Plane seats are uncomfortable so at least make sure your clothes aren’t! Halogen ruana cardigan – $112.90 during sale, $168 after sale – perfect for when the plane gets cold and you don’t want to use the airplane blanket.

8. MAC Travel Brush Set

5 blending and shading brushes in a cute rose gold case. $42.50. Not technically on sale, but there’s a free gift promotion if you spend more than $65 on MAC products. And I appreciate their recycling program.

9. Just for Fun Tee

Love this cheeky tee, especially in light of our earlier visit to Portland this month. Such a fun city! Thank you to my friend Amanda of Haute Homebody for the find. $25.90 during sale, $39.50 after sale.
