1. A set of packing cubes — once you use them, you'll wonder how you've lived this long without them. They help keep your clothes organized and also control how much you pack without overstuffing your suitcase.
Promising review: "I was searching for something to help organize my suitcase as its usually a disaster from the first time I try to pull anything out. I take so much time to pack so that my suitcase is well organized but it somehow always ends up a disaster. These four compartments helped me keep everything in its place, and it also helped me control how much I packed. If you're like me and tend to overpack, this will also help! I found the large compartment held my pants and shorts well, the next largest held just enough shirts for my ten day trip. I used the the other smaller compartment for sous-vetements, swimsuits, and pajamas. I highly recommend these!" —Emerald

2. Or a set of vacuum seal bags if you seriously can't cut down on what you're bringing with you. Add your clothes to the bag and use the hose on a vacuum to suck all the air out. You'll be able to fit more in your suitcase, so you have all the options you need for your trip.
Promising review: "I've used these bags before and they are so helpful. Even use the medium one for travel, and I have tons of extra suitcase room. The clothes don't come out wrinkled at all as long as you fold them nicely before placing in the bag, then the air sucks out keeping them safe and sound and very compact." —Susie Kochsmeier
Get a 3-pack from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in multiple sizes or a variety pack).
3. A strap you can attach to your luggage to hold your carry-on or other items that are too big or awkward to pack (i.e. coat, scarf, neck pillow).
Promising review: "I love this little gadget. I used it to attach my jacket and computer bag to my luggage on an extended business trip. It made my airport walks so much easier. Now that I'm back home, I've been using it daily to attach my jacket or cardigan to my work bag or purse." —Michele
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in six colors).
4. A set of six Cadence containers here to revolutionize the way you bring your travel-sized products with you. These lil' cuties are SO useful — they hold a surprising amount of product, are magnetic, and have a removable label you can customize so you don't accidentally put body wash in your hair because you can't remember which container has your shampoo in it.
Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon as a way to eliminate single-use travel-sized plastics. The containers are made from recycled ocean-bound plastic.
I recently got a set of four of these, and, wow, I love them so much. I used them on a six-day trip recently, and they were perfect. I customized the label so I knew which one was my shampoo vs. conditioner and did a general label for any other things I wanted to bring along. They do hold a surprising amount. According to the brand, they hold approximately one to two weeks of skincare products, more than two weeks' worth of serum, two to three days' worth of haircare, and more than 15 tablets (for medicine and such). And while two to three days worth of haircare might not seem like enough, I found it held more than that for me, but I also don't wash my hair every single day. They were small enough to slip right into my toiletries bag and go through TSA with no problem. The container was easy to open in the shower (even with wet hands), and I had no leakage from them (like I did from my face wash bottle that will not be making the trip with me next time. SMH). These are an incredibly useful tool anyone who travels will want in their luggage.
Get a set of six from Cadence for $74 (originally $84).
5. Some laundry soap sheets to have on hand to give the clothes you did pack a quick refresh in the hotel bathroom so you can wear them again without feeling like you're bringing an unwanted stench with you.
Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops to places with different types of weather. With these laundry soap sheets I was able to wash my clothes in the sink — letting me pack just the right amount of clothes for all the different places I went." —Katie Fujarski
Get it from Amazon for $7.19 (available in two styles).
6. A Béis suitcase with one of the coolest features I've ever seen — when you pick up the suitcase, the indicator on the side will turn red if it weighs more than 50 lbs. No need to wait till you get to the airport, praying the whole time that your bag is underweight. You can check your luggage with confidence knowing you won't have to pay any extra fees.
See founder Shay Mitchell showing how the weight indicator works.
Promising review: "I love this bag so so much, it has an amazing amount of storage that is well thought out and spacious. The bag's color is also the perfect color of beige and did not pick up too many scuffs while traveling. The sections inside of the bag were also thought out well and helped me utilize the space as best as possible." —Hannah Z.
Get it from Béis for $298 (available in three colors).
7. Or a digital luggage scale if you already have a suitcase you love but can't tell if it's over 50 lbs. This tiny device will calm your anxiety that your bag is overweight, and that you won't have to redistribute your belonging with your suitcase open on the floor, for the whole airport to see. 😳 Maybe this is a very specific fear that I personally have...
Promising review: "This luggage scale is so handy and is great for weighing your luggage. I was a little concerned before I got it because I wasn't sure how accurate it would be. When I used it when I went on vacation, it was dead-on to what the airport said, so I highly recommend this. Plus, it’s easy to pack in your bags." —Teresa Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three colors and as a two-pack).
8. A magnetic luggage tag you can clip to your tote bag for a super-easy (and convenient) spot to keep your hat while you travel. It uses a magnet to keep your hat in place, so it will easily get to your destination. Say goodbye to ever having to waste any space in your luggage to fit your bulky hat again!
Lindsay Albanese is an LA-based woman-owned small business that creates fashionable and functional accessories to make your life easier.
Promising review: "I've had the luggage tag for a few months now, and it has made traveling with my hats SO easy. I never have to worry about squishing them in my suitcase again. I would recommend this to anyone who plans on traveling in the summer or fall!" —Emily K.
Get it from Lindsay Albanese for $59.
9. A helpful checklist so you can plan out everything you need to pack and know you have everything you need without anxiously adding a few too many "just in case" pieces.
Promising review: "I go to South Africa with some frequency. I am always over packing. This list helped me immensely to curb overpacking. Great product." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.
10. A set of eight organizing bags each with a different label on it. You'll know exactly where everything is packed and feel confident you have everything you need. Pus, the included laundry bag ensures that your clean and dirty clothes don't mix together during the trip, and you can simply take the dirty laundry bag right to the washer as soon as you get home.
Bag-all is a woman-owned small business founded by Jennifer Jansch in 2013 to create beautifully designed bags that could be reused. They offer a wide variety of organizing bags, travel bags, tote bags, gift bags, and more. This packing set includes three different-sized packing cubes, a laundry bag, shoe bag, tech case, a large divided case for socks and underwear, and a "various" bag for anything else you need to pack.
Promising review: "I used to have trouble unpacking from a trip after I returned home. Now, whether I’m packing to go or unpacking upon returning, it makes my life so much easier. Everything has a special place and it looks sharp!" —Heather L.
Get the set from Bag-all for $120.
11. A compact velvet jewelry case with the perfect amount of space to keep all the earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings you want to bring on your trip. It won't take up a ton of space in you luggage, *and* your necklaces won't be a tangled mess when you arrive. Big success!
Promising review: "Finally, I feel that I'm traveling in style. The blue color is beautiful and looks expensive. It's small enough to be able to put in my purse when I take a plane but large enough to contain everything I need. I love the part with the hooks for the thin necklaces that they dangle into a pocket that stops them from getting tangled." —MGT
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors).
12. A Tide To-Go stain removing pen small enough to keep with you at all times because you never know when you're going to spill on your favorite shirt that you planned to wear three more times. The pen will work like magic to remove the stain so you can continue on like nothing happened.
Promising review: "These were a lifesaver. I was walking to the bus and decided it was a great decision to drink coffee while walking. Like a scene from an infomercial, I spilled coffee all over my white shirt. Yes, the classic coffee on the white shirt. Luckily I had one of these in my bag (I put one in each of my most-used purses in anticipation of my clumsiness). I went into a store bathroom and quickly scrubbed the Tide To-Go on my shirt. All of the coffee blobs went away and once the awkward wet splotches dried up, my shirt was perfectly white again. You've got yourself a big fan, Tide." —NAD
Get a pack of three for $7.74.
13. A Hackwith Design House shirt actually made to be worn six different ways so you can totally pack light and still feel like you're not wearing the exact same outfit every day of the trip.
Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business that creates made-to-order apparel. This shirt can be worn as a V-neck, off-the-shoulder, boatneck, V-back, and even open as a jacket. And the color is simple, which means it can be paired well with many different bottoms.
Promising review: "I’m being honest when I tell you this is the most 'worth-it' top around. I read a review from some frequent flyer who claims this is her go-to for flying. She said aside from the top’s flexibility – which allows much less packing as the top itself looks and behaves like four shirts and a jacket – it’s a savior on planes because it allows you to get into a usually overheated plane, and to weather the transition to iceberg, ho! that happens about twenty minutes into most flights, and it holds its shape and looks great. I was skeptical, as I do not have the money to blow on someone else’s opinion, but my husband told me to try it. I have the same issues with temps, and he’s probably self-protecting so as not to hear me complain so much. Long story short, I got it. It’s a gorgeous fabric despite my usually hating the ribbed thing. Not for my pleasure, thank you. But it’s nice. REALLY nice. Yes, it’s extraordinarily flexible, and yes, it’s like a jacket, and Yes, Virginia. There is a travel shirt Santa Claus. Ordering in the off-white now. Glad I read the article, and glad I bought the shirt. You should too." —Mary B.
Get it from Hackwith Design House for $110 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in five colors).
14. Or a wrap top that may look simple, but can actually be worn in so many different ways — from a wrap around style, to a tie front, and even just left long, to name a few. You'll feel like you're wearing a different shirt every time you put it on. Plus, it's made with machine-washable, quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant fabric, which makes it the ultimate travel shirt.
Aday is a female-founded small biz that create beautiful and timeless sustainable fashion.
Promising review: "I really like this shirt because of how multi functional it is. Not to mention, it is so breezy during this very hot summer we are experiencing. It doesn’t crease, so it's great for traveling as well." —MI
Get it from Aday for $150 (available in sizes XS–L and in three colors).
15. A portable rain hood you can wear with any jacket, so you don't have to try and pack both your cute and practical jackets when you're tight on space.
All it is is a hood attached to a vest you wear under *any* jacket to protect yourself (and your hair) from whatever the weather has planned.
Promising review: "I love this! The quality is very nice and it fits great. Wore it last week in the rain with a coat I love that doesn't have a hood and it was perfect. It slips right under your jacket so all you see is the hood, so it pretty much blends in with your jacket. Such a great idea! Wish there were more colors and patterns, I'd order more." —Jill Hammel
Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in two sizes).
16. Or a Hairbrella small enough to fold up and keep in your bag because you never know what the weather is going to do when you're on vacation. One minute it's sunny and the next it's down pouring. The satin-lined hat will protect your hair against snow, humidity, wind, and anything else Mother Nature decides to send your way.
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect hair from all kinds of weather since 2016.
Promising review: "I traveled to London last month with a raincoat that did not have a hood, and I wanted something that would protect my head/hair/blowout without lugging an umbrella. This definitely did the trick. Two of the three days were rainy (some quite heavy) and my hair stayed totally dry. It stows nicely, too. I'm still learning how to adjust it while it's on my head (easier to adjust first and then put it on). Also, when I do have it tightened/pulled to the right place, the loop/slack from where I adjusted it sort of sticks out and gets in my peripheral vision. I wish the adjustment/clasp was on less prominent. But, all in all, this is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their blowout fresh in the rain." —Miss Information
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors).
17. A pair of shoe covers you can slip over your favorite sneakers to make them waterproof so you don't have to pack yet another pair of shoes that most definitely will not fit in your carryon.
Promising review: "My husband and I were going to Alaska and we wanted to take boots with us. Long story short after packing everything, we found that our boots were weighing us down, and we took them out. Meanwhile, my husband came across these shoe covers while he was flipping through the Amazon pages, and we decided to order each of us a pair. These shoe covers were perfect! They are lightweight, come in a variety of colors, and easily slip over any style of shoe. They come in their own resealable pouch and tuck perfectly in our backpacks. We used them in the rain, in the snow, and in the mud. They easily rinse off and can be refolded to go back in their pouch. Best of all, they are affordable and look good too!" —Margaret A. Dreshman
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).
18. A tote organizer to turn your black hole of a purse or carry-on into an organized dream where you can reach and grab your hand sanitizer in seconds instead of spending 10 minutes searching through everything else you "NEEDED" to find it.
Promising review: "This thing is great! I have a large bag I use as a carry-on when I fly by plane. Unfortunately, it has very few pockets and is just like a bottomless pit. This fit in perfectly. I was able to organize all of my items quite well. They were easy to retrieve in flight and in the airport. I didn't use the zipper compartment at all but did put that piece in to use it as a divider. It is well-made and sturdy. Be sure to measure your inner bag space first!" —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $15.88+ (available in seven sizes and 19 colors).
19. A chic carry-on suitcase that will basically become your new travel BFF. Not only does this suitcase have an ejectable portable battery, it also has a "crush-proof" shell with bumpers for extra protection, a hidden laundry bag that is odor-proof, and a compression system that makes it so you can fit everything you need in your bag. This bag might really have it all.
Promising review: "I've been looking for a carry-on replacement for some time. My last carry-on was from 2007, so it was super old and not very good. Now that I have my July Carry On, I couldn't be more pleased. It's so good from functionality to style. I love the laundry bag — it's great that I don't have to remember to take my own separate laundry bag with me anymore — and the charging is so useful. The wheels are silent and smooth — so much so that on the slightest decline the bag will 100% roll away from you. The bumpers are a bit scratched after some use, but it's hardy/designed to protect what's inside, and I accept that there will be some of that happening on long-haul flights. I really enjoy the personalization as well — I had my name and a little frog etched on the top — so cute!" —Ameeka N.
Get it from July for $245 (available in eight colors; plus you can add personalization for $50).
20. An eight-compartment pill organizer with just enough space to keep any medication together during your trip so you don't have to pack multiple bottles. One reviewer also says this is a great way to keep jewelry from getting tangled while traveling.
Promising review: "I originally purchased these for vacation. I used it to carry in backpack during the day while traveling. I don't take any prescription medication, but I always carry several OTC medicines while on vacation. Pain relievers, antacids, vitamins, supplements — everything fit in one little case. Made it so much easier than carrying several bottles. Plus, these are waterproof! It was so handy, I now keep one in my purse for everyday use." —Wendy B
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.97.
21. Or a reusable water bottle with a daily pill organizer on the side to keep you hydrated *and* on top of your medications no matter where you are.
Promising review: "This water bottle has helped me so much with the convenience of taking my meds at night. I always forget or say I’ll do it later bc I have to grab a drink for the meds. So I have a daily alarm now and my meds and water are right at my bedside. No issues whatsoever. I love that I can stand the bottle or lay it down, it doesn’t spill or leak, and the top doubles as a cup. Worth every penny." —Natalie Hayes
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors).
22. A waterproof Kindle so you can take as many books as you want on your trip without having your carry-on weigh 100 lbs. Plus, you can take your reading anywhere, yes, even INTO the pool. This is a game-changer.
^ Yes, that is me sitting in a pool in Hawaii holding my Kindle over the water without fear or stress that if it falls in, it will break. Truly living my best life.
Promising review: "I LOVE my kindle Paperwhite. I even upload the PDFs I have to read for school onto it and read them on there, because it’s so much nicer to not have to stare at a computer screen to read pages, and pages of a document. I love the Kindle Unlimited as well. That way when I travel, I can just pick a new book, trade it out and start reading something new. It makes traveling lighter so much easier, because I don’t have to grab and carry multiple books, I’ve got all of them right in my hand. The battery lasts FOOOOREVERRRR too! I don’t have to worry about charging it every night. I charge about once a week." —Aryn
Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in 8 and 32 GB and in four colors; also available in a newer version for $139.99).
23. A travel perfume atomizer you can place directly on your favorite perfume to pump up to 60 sprays into — this means you can take your favorite scent with you without having to bring the whole bottle or buy a pricey travel size. 🙌
24. A Béis weekender duffle bag I'm pretty sure would make Mary Poppins jealous. This genius bag features *deep breath* a super wide opening so you can actually see everything you packed, a zippered bottom pocket to keep your shoes and toiletries separate from everything else, a laptop sleeve, external zip pocket, key-ring strap, *and* a trolly pass-through with a zipper (to turn into a pocket when not hooked through your suitcase).
Promising review: "I actually bought this because I’m going on two vacations in August/September (purchased in February). The first time I used it was to go to the beach. Let me just say, I always overpack anywhere I go, and with this bag I still had space left over, even after all my overpacking!! The quality of the bag is good and the amount of pockets is really helpful. I had originally planned to only use it when I was going somewhere that required an airplane, but now I'’ll be taking it pretty much everywhere. " —Michaela M.
Get it from Nordstrom or Béis for $98 (available in three colors).
25. A eye contact kit small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but genius enough to fit a case, tweezers, small solution tube, *and* a mirror. You'll have everything you need ~in the palm of your hand~, no extra space required.
26. Alleyoop's pen pal that may look like one of those super-cool multicolored pens you used in grade school, but is actually a super-cool 4-in-1 makeup tool. Throw this in your bag, and you'll have eyeliner, brow liner, lip liner, and a highlighter right at your fingertips. No need for so many makeup products to weigh down your bag.
27. Or a Subtl Beauty Stack you can customize with up to *eight* makeup products that all fit in one convenient stack. Choose from eyeshadow, lip and cheek tint, concealer, bronzer, highlighter, pressed powder, lip balm, and more in a variety of different shades. Your makeup routine has never been this travel-friendly!
Promising review: "I absolutely love how compact this product is. I have been pleasantly surprised at how natural the makeup feels, and I love the natural look it provides. I originally purchased for traveling, but have been using it daily and love it!" –Paula Bowie
Get the Starter Stack from Subtl Beauty for $60 (originally $68; available in 19 tones), or customize your own stack starting at $12 per layer.
28. And a hanging toiletry bag to store all the products you most definitely, *for sure* need to bring in your checked bag. Reviewers say this amazingly fits alll the skincare, makeup, *and* haircare products in one compact bag.
Promising review: "Seriously?! Do you see how much this holds?! Full shampoo bottles, face washes, hair brush... everything I could need or want to bring, FITS IN THIS ONE BAG! I bought this hoping to consolidate the two toiletry bags I have — I thought, if I still have to use two bags, at least I can get most of my essentials into this. I honestly didn’t think it would hold everything! But it does! And it’s so cute! The hook at the top is also VERY WELL SECURED to the bag. It’s double stitched to the top panel and almost feels like seatbelt material. And I love the extra pockets and netting inside. I like to have everything in its 'home'. This bag is awesome and so worth it. I would absolutely recommend this!" —mahea_c
Get it from Amazon for $18.69+ (available in seven colors).
29. A flying USB port with four places to plug in all the cords for the electronics you bring on your trip. No need to pack a brick charger for every single device. With this, you can charge all your electronics (phone, watch, tablet, etc.) only using one outlet.
Multitasky is a female-founded and -run small biz that began in 2020 as a way for founder Julia Xu to create products that were both functional and cute.
Promising review: "It does as it says it does, allowing my Dell XPS15 to operate a pair of USB devices from my lightning port! The laptop has two USB ports, one of which is always occupied by my USB mouse dongle and the other by my protected USB drive. If I wanted to plug in my phone to switch data or add another thumb drive to transfer a device, everything might have to be disconnected, but not anymore. It was really worth it." —Liberty
Get it from Multitasky for $20 (originally $25; available in three colors).
30. A 2-in-1 hair tool you can switch from a curling iron to a straightener with one push of a button. This means you only need to add one hair tool to your luggage, but you'll have the option to curl or straighten your hair the whole trip (because it's always a good thing to have options).
Promising review: "Don't be fooled by the tiny price or size, this little baby is serious. If you are looking for a small travel option rather than lugging your big straightener and giant curling iron around the world, than I think you'll love this. It performs really well, turning my frizzy wavy hair into a smooth and sleek style. The curling iron option also creates shiny, silky lasting curls! It's easy to transition between both. I also like the grippy handle and the fact that the curling iron clip is a different color than the straightening bars because that helps me see how I should be maneuvering it around. The voltage goes up to 240m, so you are good using it internationally without a converter (but you will need an adapter just to fit it into various foreign outlets). At this price, definitely give it a try and flaunt your tresses abroad." —Christine
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in black and white).
31. A skyline mini wallet emergency kit filled with mini version of so many practical items you may need throughout the trip (i.e. Tylenol, a hair tie, etc.). You'll feel so prepared when you throw this in your carry-on bag that you won't overstuff it with a bunch of random things you probably won't touch the entire trip.
Anne Cate is a woman-owned small business based in Cleveland, Ohio that handmakes minimalist keepsakes with a skyline from more than 100 cities and colleges around the world!
The kit includes a hair tie, lip balm, two floss pics, a sewing kit, bandages, emery board, two safety pins, two earring backs, a makeup wipe, two bobby pins, two mints, a deodorant wipe, a Shout wipe, a tampon, hand sanitizer, and Tylenol.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Danielle Healy says: "I, your resident forgetful person, bought the NYC skyline version of this at the start of COVID-19 to keep in my work tote. Unfortunately, I haven't touched my work tote in months because...*gestures at the world around*...but it's a really handy kit I know will save me a ton whenever I regularly leave the house again. Everything from Anne Cate is super high-quality. The wallet on its own is adorable and could be used for a million different things."
Get it from Anne Cate for $25 (available in 46 skylines).
32. An international power converter here to make it a breeze to plug your electronics in in 150 countries. The converter has a five-foot detachable power cable and four different sockets, plus voltage converters. You'll be able to plug all your electronics into this one converter and know they'll be charged and ready to go in the morning.
Promising review: "In the past, we have travelled with those big clunky converters that come with only one type of plug. These converters are so heavy they would inevitably fall out of the wall socket once you plugged something into them. No so with the Sokoo Power Converter. It has it own cord and comes with many socket adapters. We like that is has two sockets, which is very handy in the bathroom when you travel with electric toothbrushes and other such things. Also, the 4 USB sockets mean everything can be charged in one place and not scattered around the room where you are staying making it less likely you will leave something behind! All in all a vast improvement on previous designs.." —wayne f thompson
Get it from Amazon for $42.99.
33. A shoe bag capable of storing at least three pairs of shoes (though one reviewer said they fit up to five). It will be so much easier to pack your shoes when they're all together in these bags. And you won't be tempted to add that extra pair of heels you are def not going to end up wearing because they're not comfortable enough to wear for longer than an hour.
Promising reviews: "You can totally fit three pairs of shoes in this! (Size 6.5 female shoe — fit heels, wedges and sandals.) I bought two and will absolutely be buying more for my husband. I 10/10 would recommend! I travel frequently, and I always overpack, this helped cut down space and stress immensely!" —Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in nine colors and patterns).
34. A Games on the Go set filled with 50 different activities that don't require accessories, including guessing games, memory challenges, trivia questions, word games, searching games and more. You'll keep your kids occupied and entertained without needing to bring approximately 19,375 toys with you.
Promising review: "For a quick and convenient game that can literally be taken anywhere, this game is perfect! The cost was great and the games are fun, quick, and can be played by kids and adults of all ages. I would love to see families pulling these cards out while waiting for dinner at a restaurant or while sitting in the subway together rather than everyone pulling out their iPhones! These fun interactive games will get the whole family talking and playing together. Love it! I did notice that on a couple of the cards my daughter, who’s 8-years-old, had to read the card a couple of times or hand it to me to explain to her, but once I read the directions she was good to go. Overall, a great purchase!" —Julie
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
35. A pair of pull-on Levi's jeans reviewers love because they look like jeans but feel like sweatpants. And the best part — they maintain their shape for several wears, which is essential when you have limited packing space.
Promising reviews: "Do these jeans make my butt look AMAZING??? Why yes, yes they do. These are amazing. Great for travel because they are comfy, yet don’t get loose and stretchy. They maintain their shape for several wears between washing. You can dress them up or down. My new go-to jeans. Ordered my usual size, and they fit like a glove. I have a short inseam, so these fit me a little below the ankle." —Kettlebell Swinger
Get it from Amazon for $26.24+ (available in sizes 2–28, three inseams, and 10 colors).
36. And How to Pack: Travel Smart for Any Trip, a book filled with suggestions about what to pack for different situations and locations. You'll spend less time overanalyzing what you're going to need and more time planning all the fun excursions you're going to go on.
It also includes packing cards to help you make sure you have everything you need for your trip!
Promising review: "I don't know why so many people have been so negative about this book. I saw it an airport bookshop a few years ago and thought it was genius. I was a big over-packer, so having the tips and particularly the packing list cards was a big help. So was rolling my clothes in my suitcase. I was able to reduce my luggage for my annual trip home to another country from two suitcases to one, which also saved me money on baggage fees. I still use it when I'm planning a trip to a new country as a refresher." —Book Lover
Get it from Amazon for $14.
