Amazon Haul! BEST items for the MINIMALIST Traveler!

[@bgtsy]

That was hilarious!!! You exit the home d/t noise then the birds and planes… glad you kept that in the video

[@TheoryofSimple]

Lol! I usually edit stuff out, but sometimes you just gotta roll with it and some of those outtakes are the best parts💕😊 thank you so much for letting me know😊

[@soniaceratti]

Got several of those items in the last several months! Thx 😊

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yay! Hope they all work out for you! 😁

[@cindylewis3730]

I always carry doggie bags with me. I use them for trash on the plane so I can clear off my tray and I’m ready when the flight attendants come by collecting.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Me too! I always have one in my wallet just for any of those things🙏😊❤️ great minds think alike😊 Thank you so much for sharing it with us.😊

[@CraftsBayou]

Not even gonna lie...that dang backscratcher is LIFE!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Right! That little thing comes in handy when I travel, especially if I’m traveling alone! 😊🥰

[@smeather6161]

Great gadgets, Batman! Thank you!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Lol! Thank you! You can call me Bat Gal!🤣😂

[@jchang9341]

Love your channel. It's giving me a lot of ideas. Thanks for your expertise.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy you’re getting some great hacks for my videos🙏😊❤️

[@Darshujr]

Ur Always helpful.....u make my travels easy... After watching ur videos i always upgrade my bags, wallet and other items..🥰 🥰.. And last one I have same Victorinox swiss card in light version, its not TSA approved bcz it has knife in it, but i love that bcz it has mini torch... So its all in one in card... Just removing knife from it, its became TSA approved its my small hack..😊

[@TheoryofSimple]

That’s a great idea to remove the knife from that card! At least you’ll be able to use the rest of it on your travels. Thank you so much for watching and commenting on my videos. It truly does help me to understand what people find useful and helpful for their travels! I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends!

[@Darshujr]

@@TheoryofSimple My pleasure 😇

[@pxlbarrel]

I think we are kindred spirits. My kryptonite is luggage. I love buying luggage. I've had to stop myself from buying lately. And then I come across this video where half the items on your table...I already have! But your videos are dangerous too ... I end going to Amazon and buying the other half of the stuff. LOL 🤣😂

[@TheoryofSimple]

Lol! I’m kind of like a drug dealer, except for travel and packing stuff! 🤣😂 and we are definitely kindred spirits. If you have half the stuff that’s on my table.💕🙏

[@NavymomProud]

I live about two miles from the back gate of an Air Force base. In the flight path. Just as you got started on the inside segment of the video…yep several jets took off and I had to pause the video. Partly because I was laughing so hard at the timing. I have the wallet size phone stand and love it, it’s been such a help. I’ll be checking out some of the other items now. Thanks much.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Lol! I bet those jets are LOUD! Hope you find some other great items to help you minimalize your travel bags ! By the way, if you find something really interesting while shopping, let us know!☺️

[@danaeads919]

I recently had a rental car that had two non-working USB-C outlets and no USB-A outlets. Fortunately I found a working 12-volt outlet in the center console. The rear passengers had a 12-volt outlet and a 110-volt outlet.

[@TheoryofSimple]

This is precisely why I carry a 12 V charger! Better safe than sorry, right?!

[@0mfgeeze]

I recommend the nitecore nb 10,000 gen 2 power bank, has everything you're looking for with the same lightweight, slim profile.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you! I’m gonna look it up and see if I can get a replacement for the one that I have because it’s several years old.

[@Shinyhappyperso]

I’ve learnt soo much from you. Thank you!

[@TheoryofSimple]

You are welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!😍

[@suewolf3279]

Believe me the airplanes and the birds don't take away from your video at all. It makes all of us who are stuck inside jealous that you are outside. Don't over stress it's not good for your health

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you! 🙏❤️🙏

[@marthayahoogillespie9567]

Great suggestions!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you! 😀

[@TheoryofSimple]

Great stuff here already ordered a few of em.

Thank you so much and I hope you really enjoy these items as you travel as much as I do💕😊 Thank you so much for supporting my channel.🙏

Lol! That’s the best way to get what you want! 😂😉

[@4850m-ve4qj]

I love all of your travel tips! Love your travel organization videos.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much!😊 it makes me smile to know that you are enjoying them and getting some great organization and travel hacks!

[@deirdresmith2094]

Yes, I saw some items that I can use. Once again you did a great video with nice gadgets for traveling

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you, Dierdre! I’m so happy you found some great items in the video that you can use! I carry, sent me this around with me every day! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

[@rogerp.2442]

I see you’re a gadget person like me, what a great haul! I’m sure you’ve heard it before but I have to debate your definition of minimalist. I’d rather be prepared for anything and have a run selection of gadgets than live like a monk with 5 worldly possessions 😉

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@rogerp.2442 i love gagged so I share my favorite ones but I don’t necessarily travel with them all. Each trip is different and I try to travel with the least amount I may use. For example what I bring if I’m going to be hiking is different than if I’m going to be in the city.

[@Zoenow09]

Thanks for the recommendations. I just purchased a few of the items :)

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you! Your support means so much! I hope you enjoy your new additions! 😊

[@leilaroa3477]

I Travel a lot these days. Thank You from your ideas. getting ready to pack ,heading international :)

[@TheoryofSimple]

Also, have you got some great ideas for your next international trip! Wishing you safe and memorable travels!

[@marysmith5891]

Ordered the glasses, perfect! Thanks 😊

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yay! They are my favorite pair folding reading glasses! Thank you so much Mary for supporting my channel!😍🥰

[@heatherframpton9693]

I was trying to pick a favorite item. I couldn't pick just one. The folding reading glasses are definitely one of them. Thanks. 😁❤️🛫

[@TheoryofSimple]

You are very welcome!😊 Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.! 🥰

[@lokicooper4690]

Definitely some great ideas.. I will be buying a few things for myself! And you won’t find me laughing at you for the back scratcher. I have the full sized ones at home, and have carried the keychain version on me when I go out ever since I first found them a few years ago. They are awesome!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much! It’s so funny because when I first saw that back scratcher at an airport store, I laughed. And then I bought it as a joke, and I use it all the time.! 😊

[@lokicooper4690]

@@TheoryofSimple It’s amazing! I was surprised when. I found it, since I use the full size all the time, thought it was a great idea. Especially when you’re wearing winter jackets, and just can’t reach that itch. Lol!

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@lokicooper4690 yes! It’s one of those things that you really don’t think you’re going to use but when you have it and you use it, you think, how did I not have this before!

Love your channel! Suggestion for the Powerbank: Consider the NITECORE NB10000, it's the lightest 10000mAh battery in the planet. About half as thin and half as light as your Mophie. Cheers! 🙌

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you so much for that suggestion! I love the mophie I have, but I would love to get one with USB-C so I’m gonna take a look at the NItecore! I’m going to put that on my wish list!😀😍

[@AngelaJamisonGIMI]

I've been using a "Portable Charger with Built-In Cables and AC Wall Plug,VRURC 10000mAh Phone Charger, 5 Output & 2 Input LED Display External Battery Pack, Ultra Slim USB C Power Bank Compatible with Smart Devices." It has an integrated AC plug, USB-C, Lightning, and Micro-USB cables; and USB-C and USB-A ports. There are many 1* reviews on Amazon, but mine has been used a lot without problems since September.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@AngelaJamisonGIMI would you mind sharing the link so we could all take a look at it??

[@nanasilas7878]

Thanks for making my Christmas list for me, Eunice!

[@TheoryofSimple]

You are very welcome! I’m happy you found some great things to get for your friends and loved ones this holiday! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

[@wanjones7141]

Thanks for all the ideas, I did purchase the credit card size cell phone holder, I like it but each time I went to remove my phone it popped off the tray table onto the floor. Just an FYI you really have to hold both the holder and the phone when taking the phone off of it. But I do love the slim style of it.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you, Wan. I think after using it a few times it loosens up a bit and it won’t pop off like that. Also, do you have a large phone case! That might make it tight and have it pop off. 😊

[@thaydiygirl]

Thank you for the great ideas! I picked up a few items for myself or as gifts! New to your channel - I look forward to watching more of your content!

No cars I have been in have an air vent. You have to fix your phone with a suction pad to the windscreen. I did buy one of those phone holders which fits in the air vent, but it has been no use to me yet.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hmmm….every car I have been in has an air vent for heat and air conditioning. What kind of cars are you renting?

[@julie-joywilliams7280]

Happy Thanksgivings Eunice... Love the tips and ideas. My favorites were the folding eyeglasses, credit card multi tool and the collapsible drink bottle... Have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends!

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you, Julie-joy! I’m glad you found some useful interesting things that video! I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your friends, and loved ones as well!

[@pandabear4014]

That intro was great 🤣

[@TheoryofSimple]

Thank you! Maybe I should put a blooper reel at the beginning of every video! I am never short on those!🤣😂

[@brendakrause5639]

I would use the waterproof bag for a wet bathing suit.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Yes! Great idea! Or wet water shoes!

[@rosalindaretana2977]

Where do you get your multi tool gadgets?

[@TheoryofSimple]

There are links for all of my gadgets in the video descriptions😊

[@mssendfitness]

The Leatherman mini mulitool, I have one myself and I can NEVER get through any security with it. I have to surrender it every single time.

[@TheoryofSimple]

Hmmm…i have never had it taken from me in the US. I do not travel with outside the US. Are you in the US?

[@mssendfitness]

@@TheoryofSimple I am in the US. Concerts/Schools/Hospitals etc, I am always told I can't take it in with me. It's on my keyring- visible and even when I tell them it's TSA approved, I am still told I have to surrender it or I won't be allowed in.. It's like a no tolerance for any type of sharps/tool.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@mssendfitness TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) does not apply to schools, Hospitals or other buildings TSA applies to the airport or airline. Anyone outside of the TSA jurisdiction can make their own rules. I would check with each place to see what their allowability is before bringing in any multi tool or pepper spray.

[@mssendfitness]

@@TheoryofSimple Right I knowits only for airlines/airports. The frustration is that, if TSA allows it- so should other security checkpoints. I realize it's their own rules/guidelines, but it's frustrating that all security is not the same.

[@TheoryofSimple]

@@mssendfitness it is frustrating that there are so many different rules and regulations, and not something more standardized. 🤨
