2025 TGA People's Choice Award Winner
In 2024, Melissa flew to Las Vegas with a pre-production sample of SlumbaPak. The product hadn’t launched. Not a single unit had been sold. But she believed in what she had spent years building — and she wanted the travel industry to see it.
They saw it. And they voted.
SlumbaPak won the 2025 TGA People’s Choice Award before it had officially launched. Voted for by travellers, retailers and industry insiders who believed in what we were building before the world did. That kind of validation cannot be bought — and it changed everything.
About the TGA Awards
The Travel Goods Association Awards have recognised excellence in the travel industry since 1938. Unlike many industry awards, the TGA eliminates financial barriers entirely — no submission fees, no pay-to-play. Recognition is earned, not purchased.
Winners are selected through a transparent process that combines community votes, expert insight and industry perspective — helping travellers and retailers identify the products shaping the future of travel.
The People’s Choice Award
The People’s Choice Award is voted entirely by the community — travellers, parents, retailers and industry fans. No judges. No panels. Just genuine support for products that make a real difference.
Winning this award before launch told us something important: parents needed SpumbaPak, and the industry believed in it too.
Now the product is here. And we’re just getting started.
