My biggest fear when flying is loosing my luggage. The idea of reaching my vacation spot with nothing to wear or getting back home without my holiday purchases is – while admittedly superficial - very troubling to me. For this reason I am very careful to always attach a tag with the destination address on all of my luggage (as if that would prevent them from getting lost, right?).

While some of my suitcases have built-in travel tags, most of the time I have to remember to ask for one and fill it in at the check-in counter. Though, I find it much more practical to perform my irrational ritual and be able to fill in the tags beforehand at home. I really like these re-usable travel tags from Samsonite. You can write your address on any piece of paper, roll it and insert it in the cylinder shaped tag, which you can easily attach to (and later detach from) any bag you desire to travel with.

Samosonite travel tags come in four different colors: green; blue; pink and orange and are available at Amazon for $6.00.
