A supportive travel neck pillow
A neck pillow for planes, trains and long drives that keeps the head from dropping sideways. Replies in the thread paired a neck pillow with a sleep mask for travelling. Check the shop page for the fill and cover if materials matter.
A big power bank with built-in cables that can charge a laptop and a phone on the go, and the one fast charger people said they can't leave without. It is a laptop-class unit, so it is bigger and heavier than a phone power bank.
