Who doesn’t love schlepping bags full of gifts to the airport during the busy holiday season? But, really, traveling can actually be pretty enjoyable once you get the hang of it—and keep in mind that you’re on your way to seeing loved ones. It just takes a little planning and a repertoire of comfy travel clothes and accessories to make the process as smooth as possible. Here’s a list of my favorite comfy clothes and on-the-go essentials that are holiday travel must-haves.

If you’re like me, you need a handy tote bag to throw last-minute books and papers into right before traveling. I couldn’t resist REI’s Life is Good Organic Tote (SALE: $19.93 on SHOP.com) adorable organic cotton tote bag because of the owl and the fabulous price. Comes in a gorgeous violet color or a green turtle style, too. Cute!
