9 Travel Picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

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

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.
