Definitely nothing to do with it being payday and having a trip coming up.
Basically, wondering what sort of gadgets and stuff you may use that you speak highly of. From my own point of view I'm hoping to find things that would be useful for travelling because I'm having to do more and more of it lately and anything that makes it more enjoyable would be appreciated.
Inflatable neck cushions, power banks, combi-chargers are all mainstays for me. I've also seen those weird bags you can get for the beach that fill full of air for your to sit on.
What about you lot? Anything in particular you've bought into and found it massively useful? Can just be general but I'm chucking the travel angle out there as that's what my selfish thoughts are thinking of atm.

I bought wireless ear buds before I went trekking round Spain. Not exactly these ones but very much like them. Comfortable as anything. Had them in for 8-10 hours a day most days and you could forget they were in. The case for them charges them so you get 3-4 charges (which would be 30+ hours) without finding a plug to charge the case. They fit properly into the ear and dont have the long droppy bit like the Apple Airpods. Only about £40 too so not a huge ball ache if you did end up losing them/one. Got a Sony RX100Mk4 camera last year too. It's about as good a camera you can get without having to lug around a DSLR. Finally decided to learn how to use a camera properly - not just using the Auto settings. Only other gadget I have is my phone. The Oneplus 3T was the best phone I had ever had so I upgraded to the 6T in December. Amazing phone.

Has anyone got recommendations for good headphones that are a reasonable price? I got ok Sony ones for £15 but wouldn't mind upgrading.
Gadget wise I am stupidly tempted by a FitBit.

If I'm flying Ryanair at five in the morning I need to sleep.

We’ve got a Lumie light which works very well! Still need a normal alarm alongside it but it does help.

Got a free smart watch with my phone upgrade and fuck me I'm addicted to it - it's brilliant for keeping track of exercise, reporting how effective your workout was, heart rate, plus all the usual bits like barometer, compass that nobody really needs.
