(1) Good foam earplugs. Mine are SNR 38dB and they make a huge difference when the gremlins (my daughter and her boyfriend) are having loud conversations at 1am, or any time my wife's snoring is especially bad.
(2) A roll-up electronics case. Mine (ProCase) has three pockets for thumb drives and dongles, two large pockets for my charger and power cable, and six loops for smaller cables. Then it all rolls nice and neat and compact. I call it "the burrito" and I must not be alone because Jansport now has one that actually looks like a burrito.
