We are loving Scout bags this season, as well as Sage & Emily. They are stylish, functional and fun! Have a few ideas you’d like to jot down?

I stopped into Shorter’s last week and grabbed a few staff favorites to feature in today’s write up and loved them all. These products are currently available in-store so make sure you stop in the next time you’re in Petoskey!

Grandpa Shorter’s Top 10 Travel Items

1. Scout Toiletry Bag – Cute meets functional. This bag is the perfect size to hold all your important travel toiletries. The bag itself is made of easy clean vinyl so if something accidentally spills you just need to wipe it clean.
2. World Map Laundry Bag – Silly as it sounds, this might be my favorite item! It folds small (it could even fit into your purse!) and unfolds big to hold all your dirty laundry. We travel a lot with 3 kiddos and it’s always a pain to pack up dirty clothes for trips home.
3. Emergency Tech Kit – How many times have you been in the car or on a plane or stuck in an airport and you needed a charger or charging cord? This little kit is perfect to throw into your bag and the case holds everything nice and neat.
4. Emergency Sewing Kit – This little kit is just too cute not to include in my line up. Missing a button? No problem! Split a small hole in a seam? You’re covered. This kit is just too good not to have even on a daily basis in your purse or car.
5. Name That Tune Trivia – Road tripping? Staring out the window and singing along to the radio can get real boring, real quick. This fun trivia game will making passing the time fun!
