Portable chargers & power banks
When you're out and about on your travels, the last thing you want to happen is for your smartphone to run out of battery, because then it's not just your phone that is out of action: your camera, your digital wallet, your navigation tool, your instant translator, they are all inaccessible which can be a major inconvenience in this day and age. Luckily, GP has you covered with our award-winning portable chargers. Just plug and charge to power your devices without a worry, as GP power banks are designed with safety, performance and convenience in mind, and are safe to bring onto most airlines. To learn more about rules about flying on domestic and international flights with power banks, we have a blog post dedicated to this topic.
Instant camera
Nowadays, our mobile phones double up as our cameras, but there is something special about printing physical photos to commemorate special occasions and reminisce for years to come. Luckily, you can easily capture magical holiday moments that can be shared with your travel companions and best friends with instant camera gadgets such as the Instax mini 13 Polaroid camera. Portable and easy to use, it is a retro gadget that has topped every hottest gadget wishlist. Available in an array of cute colours, it requires 2 AA batteries to operate, and your Polaroid photos print out in seconds. With GP's Ultra AA batteries, you can snap and save all your fun moments on your summer holiday, and look back on those moments fondly when the holiday is over.
Luggage tracker
We all hope our holidays go smoothly without a hitch. But sometimes, things can go wrong, and one of the most common travel hiccups is lost luggage. With a luggage tracker, you can have peace of mind knowing where your luggage is, even if it hasn't arrived at your destination with you. Whether it's an Apple AirTag or a Samsung SmartTag 2, make sure that your tracker has fresh batteries such as GP's Extra CR2032 coin batteries before your trip to ensure it works the duration of your trip—and perhaps longer if your suitcase has gone on a vacation of its own!
The right USB cables
Many travel gadgets and devices are rechargeable, which makes packing easier... until you realise you've packed the wrong cable! Some devices use micro-USB, others use USB-Cs, and if you're an Apple user, you need to throw a Lightning cable in the mix. With so many different plugs, it is easy to be tangled in multiple wires and cables, only to realise that you're missing one specific type. Luckily, GP's 3-in-1 USB cable has interchangeable heads, so one cable can cater to all your devices. Pair this with GP's universal travel adapter, you can rest assured that your all devices can be charged wherever your adventure takes you.
Packing cubes
A bit of a low-technology travel gadget for a change, but packing cubes are the latest must-have travel item that many seasoned travellers swear by. Keep your clean clothes, dirty laundry, toiletries, gadgets and all your belongings separated and organised so they are easy to find without having to rummage through your suitcase or backpack and messing up the packing you worked so hard to cram in. Many of them have inner zips and compartments, providing even more ways to keep your travel must-haves neatly packed and separated.
Portable speakers
Want some holiday music by the pool in your summer villa? Or looking to jam to your favourite tunes while you cook up a storm in your holiday home? A portable speaker is the perfect solution to bring your favourite tunes with you wherever you go. From the high-end KEF MUO to ultra-portable JBL Clip 5, there are so many portable speakers to choose from. As many of these portable speakers are rechargeable, make sure you have a GP power bank with you to keep your speaker running and the beats going!
Personal safety alarm
For many solo travellers, personal safety alarms are an essential travel gadget in order to stay safe throughout your trip. They are designed to be portable and discreet, often fitting on a keychain or bag strap, so they are convenient and easy to access. While some are rechargeable via USB, others require a coin battery to work. Stay safe and protected with GP's CR2032 batteries that are proven to outlast the competition, or a GP power bank to keep your alarm fully charged every day and stay safe 24/7.
Luggage scale
Planning a shopping spree on your next city break? Make sure you are below your airline's luggage weight allowance with a suitcase scale. Super easy to use, just wrap the strap on your suitcase's handle and pull up to get a reading of your suitcase’s weight. Pop a few spare CR2032 button cell batteries into your suitcase to ensure your luggage scale is always powered so you don't get caught out by those pesky excess baggage fees!
Universal travel adapter

With 3 different pins to fit most sockets, this international adapters take the stress out of your multi-country travels.

Handheld electric fan

Most portable fans on the market are USB rechargeable, so make sure you pack a GP travel-safe power bank and a GP USB cable to stay cool, no matter what the temperature is!
