1. An innovative Trtl pillow made specifically with their comfort in mind. Unlike traditional bulky neck pillows, this one is designed to keep their head in a comfortable and ergonomic position. They'll be able to enjoy their travels even more, knowing that they can actually get some much-needed rest on their journey.
Promising review: "I love this travel pillow! As someone who travels frequently for work and leisure, I try to get sleep on planes whenever I can so I am ready to go when I land. However, when bulging discs in my neck developed a few years ago, I tested six or seven different types of travel pillows and couldn’t find a pillow that gave proper support and didn’t aggravate my injury. Then I found this cozy little gem!!! I have now had my Trtl for about six months, and it’s been a game changer. I am able to get some of the best sleep I’ve gotten on planes without further aggravation to my neck. It’s easy to pack around once you get to your destination, so you don’t have to have a travel pillow hanging off your bag. I also appreciate how easy it is to take apart to wash — with so many germs on planes, I like that I can wash it without worrying about ruining it." —Henninsa

2. Plus, a set of wireless Bluetooth earbuds over 233,000 reviewers gave 5 stars. These earbuds offer over 10 hours of playtime to block out all the unwanted noise around them — including loud, chatty people on the plane and the adorable, but screaming baby in row 13.
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for 4+ hours with each full charge). The earbuds are also sweatproof and waterproof so they can use them during workouts or runs, and have a built-in mic so they can chat on the phone.
Promising review: "I love these SO much. I'm a budget traveler so I usually have long days of driving, layovers and plane rides. My previous headphones would ALWAYS die and usually during the first hour of my flight. These ALWAYS last me through a day of traveling. I hardly ever hear the low battery warning because they just go back into the charging case. The case keeps battery pretty well too and I usually charge it about once a month (I typically use them about 4 hours a week when I'm not traveling). I really like that these have a red light that shows when the earbuds are actually charging. I've had some in the past that I thought were charging and weren't." —Eden

3. A cordless portable charger, aka a lifesaver for when they are eagerly waiting for their Uber to arrive and they've just spent an hour trying to get the perfect shot of the Sydney Opera House, but now their phone battery is at a mere 10%. This small but mighty charger is capable of charging smartphones lightning fast when in a pinch.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross writes: "I'd had my eye on this bad boy for a while, and finally ordered it to take on a two-week trip to Europe. Let me tell you: LIFESAVER. I'm the type of person who loves to spend hours and hours exploring new cities, but with the amount of photos and videos I take, my phone's battery tends to drain really quickly (relying on Google Maps to get literally everywhere doesn't help, either). With this, I knew I'd have some backup when there weren't any outlets nearby, and it was *so* nice not having to connect my phone to a clunky charging bank via cord. 100% recommend!"
Promising review: "I have one of these that I originally used for travel but now keep in my purse all the time. The great thing is that you insert it directly into your phone when needed, and then it's just a little extension to the bottom of your phone. No cord needed, no big blocky thing (or thin blocky thing) to attach and worry about while you go on using your phone. I love it — never travel without it, and if I can't find it, I immediately buy another one! I charge it overnight while I charge my phone." —Kindle Customer

4. A Hydro Flask tumbler to keep their refreshing drinks cold on their island excursion or their coffee steaming hot for hours during their roadtrip across the country.
Promising review: "I went on a 3,600-mile solo motorcycle trip in late August from LA to Denver, 120-degree heat. Filled the flask up with ice and water. Every two hours I'd stop and soak my neck cooling scarf with ice cold water and pour some on my head and back. Keep on riding. The ice stayed frozen for hours, if not the whole day. Very easy to fill with ice and water. Pretty sure it will be great to bring a bunch of hot tea in on winter days. My other Hydro Flask keeps coffee boiling hot all day." —Yury Sakovich

5. A luggage-mounted cup caddy made to ensure their beloved venti iced chai latte with two pumps of sugar cookie syrup and cranberry muffin remains securely in place as they dash to their boarding gate.
Reviewers say it's ideal for a suitcase that can roll on four wheels! If they have a suitcase that has to tilt while it rolls, they'll just have to be careful if the drinks are open at the top.
Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket. It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

6. A memory foam seat cushion designed with orthopedic gel to spare their lower back and sciatica from the ~seemingly~ 4,000-mile roadtrip they take every year. This seat cushion promotes correct posture, giving more support to the lower back and making it a little more enjoyable to sit for extended periods of time.
Promising review: "A few weeks into working from home five days a week I started having a lot of hip/leg/back pain. I have a good Herman Miller task chair that had been fine for one to two days of WFH a week, but wasn't working for me full time. In the early afternoons my lower back would start cramping. I did some research and bought this pillow and it immediately helped! I also took it on a two-week road trip since a three day road trip earlier this year had made a mess of my lower body that lingered for weeks — and no pain! What really drove me to write this review was that yesterday, unknowingly, I worked all day sitting on my chair without my cushion. I had removed it to use as a spare chair at my dinner table and forgot to put it back. At the end of the day hip was aching and I realized why! Today it's back on my chair and I'm already feeling better." —Lorene

7. An adorable personalized acrylic luggage tag that'll not only add some pizzazz to their luggage but will also let them know they're grabbing the right bag. And don't worry, their tag won't get damaged in transit. The acrylic material is durable and long-lasting, so they can use it on all their future travels.
Based in Seattle, Little Dot Studio is a woman-owned small biz specializing in engraved keepsakes, like luggage tags and bookmarks.
Promising review: "Love this luggage tag. I bought my son and his wife two as a wedding gift with luggage and just purchased two for me and my husband. I ordered the bright orange so I could easily spot my luggage, and it turned out great!" —Maggie
Shipping info: Estimated delivery is 2–10 days after ordering, and shipping costs $5.13. Free shipping to the US is available on orders $35+. See the estimated arrival date range on the listing.

8. A highly rated fanny pack made to keep their phone, wallet, keys, and other essentials close by whenever they travel or just for day-to-day use. Reviewers love that the versatile strap can be worn crossbody or around the waist, keeping their hands free while on the go.
Promising review: "Very happy with my purchase. Got this for my trip to Colombia. I was looking at more expensive fanny packs but settled on this for the reviews. It’s very well-made for the price. It withstood many hikes to waterfalls, horseback riding, and city tours among others. I wore it as shown in the picture and love the fact that there’s a pocket that’s hidden that sits on my chest at all times where I kept my passport, extra cash, and travel documents. I was able to fit my camera, iPhone, earbuds, shades, charger, and a couple of other knickknacks without a problem. Wasn’t a fanny pack guy before now but I’m a believer LOL." —IWG MD

9. A portable white noise machine with 20 different soothing sounds for them to choose from if they're one of those people who has trouble falling asleep without the hum of a fan or the patter of raindrops. This device is also equipped with a memory function feature that easily restores all the volume, sound, and time settings that they previously set, making it easier to get back to their ideal sleep environment. It's also perfect for families who are traveling with children.
It features 20 nonlooping sleep sounds, 32 volume levels, and a timer — plus, it weighs less than half a pound!
Promising review: "Wonderful sound machine. Compact enough for travel. We took ours on vacation and are so glad we did. This drowns out hotel noises perfectly! I like how small it is when on my dresser at home, too. So thankful for the nonlooping sound. Would recommend over and over again." —Hill.jess

10. A bestselling and super affordable pair of flexible ballet flats that are lightweight and can easily be tucked into their luggage, taking up little to no space, and leaving more room for snacks and souvenirs. Plus, reviewers say they're super comfy so they can wear them in the airport or out on the town while exploring a new city.
Promising review: "I normally cannot wear flats because they give me terrible blisters on the back of my feet. These didn't! Bought these in nude for a city vacation with a lot of walking, but where sandals aren't necessarily worn, and these were perfect! They obviously don't have the support of sneakers, but I am so happy to finally have a cheap pair of flats that don't give me blisters. I did break them in with thin socks on around my house before wearing them out, and when possible, I wear them with little sock liners. Also — I was able to fold these in half and fit them in a semi-small purse to change into to dance at a wedding! Score!" —Kate

11. A super sturdy airplane phone mount perfect for watching a movie or listening to music without the device falling off their lap or between the seats when they doze off! It also swivels 360 degrees, allowing them to position their phone in either portrait or landscape orientation.
Promising review: "Okay, after a flight last month, I was convinced I needed a phone mount and ran into this. So I bought it. The wild part was that I haven’t been on another flight yet and yet, I use this gadget every single day. So far, I found this to be durable and can contort to your needs. The different combinations of positions literally allows you to mount and position your device to nearly any position you need it to. I use the iPhone 11 as my device. I mount this on my standup desk at work, at my nightstand to watch movies while in bed, on my treadmill so I could watch something while walking, on a nearby counter as a tripod for my phone and of course, as a standalone stand when I’m sitting at a flat table." —Justine E.

12. A refined leather electronics organizer designed to keep their wired earphones, various chargers, and other accessories neat and easy to find so that they aren't digging through a jumbled mess AND saving them from what feels like hours of untangling cords.
Plus, you can have it personalized with their initials!
Mr. Crafter is a small biz that specializes in personalized leather travel and tech accessories.
Promising review: "Absolutely beautiful! The custom lettering came out perfectly and it can easily hold two battery packs and all the cords we could ever need for traveling with cellphones, iPads and our Switch. So pleased with the craftsmanship! Wonderful purchase. <3" —Sarah Kavaljian

Get it from Mr. Crafter on Etsy for $36.96+ (available in two sizes, in black or brown, and several engraving options).
13. A compact universal travel adapter that allows up to three devices to be charged easily with a single outlet. Reviewers say the power LED is extremely useful, especially in the UK where they have switches for the outlets so they need to know if they have power or not.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross writes: "While the listing says this adapter can't be used in South Africa, India, Switzerland, and Italy, I just used this on my Italian vacation (in five different hotels!) and had zero issues — in fact, it was a complete godsend. Maybe they've updated the design, as I've seen some other reviewers who visited these countries say it worked for them, too. I'm not a tech guru by any means, but I was able to get it working the very first time I tried it, and luckily for my husband, who did not think to bring an adapter, we were able to charge both his phone and mine every night using the USB ports. Just know that it's primarily meant for charging small devices and not for powering up things like hair dryers and straighteners. I got it in black and it's super sleek-looking, too!"
Promising review: I am currently using this while in Norway, and I will not travel without this again. It is so convenient for us. The addition of two USB ports on the side makes a huge difference from my other travel adaptors. I was able to plug it in on the plane and keep my devices charged through a long day’s travel. I used it at a charging station in several airports, and this little cube was great. The different plugs easily pop, out when needed and tuck neatly away when not in use. I throw this in my backpack, and it is there when I need it." —cymart

14. Plus, a six-port USB charging station, which is the perfect solution to keep everyone's gadgets and gizmos charged up without constantly arguing with their family members over who gets to use the cord next.
Promising review: "This is a great product! I travel frequently, and I am always challenged with the number of USB ports I can get with the number of outlets available (and where) in hotel rooms. With this product, the number of ports problem goes away, and what's great is that it extends the charger interface out from behind a bed or nightstand, or other inconvenient receptacle location, up onto a work surface for easy access. As far as power, I have had an Asus transformer, two iPads, HTC One M8, and two iPhones connected to it at the same time, charging for hours with no heat on the device whatsoever. It works great at home too. I have always had good luck with Anker products, good quality." —bishop

15. A stunning set of Cadence containers to hold a variety of items such as medications, small jewelry, and skincare in minimal space. These magnetic containers connect together so no need to worry about them getting lost, and they come with labeled tiles so they know what's inside each jar.
Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon with the goal of eliminating single-use travel-sized plastics. The containers are made from recycled ocean-bound plastic.
BuzzFeed Shopping's Abby Kass is a fan: "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.

16. A digital luggage scale to help them avoid that dreaded $40 fee from their bag being 20 pounds overweight. Now they can gauge how overboard they can go with the Disneyland Tokyo gear they plan on bringing back as souvenirs. It's a win-win for everyone!
They just hook the scale to their luggage handle, lift up, and the LCD display will show the weight! They can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements.
Promising review: "Took this for a 10-day trip overseas with lots of flights. Weighed the luggage as things were added to it/purchased, and when we weighed in at the airport it was perfectly accurate. Very important when the airline will charge $70 more dollars for a suitcase that is too heavy or make you open the whole thing up and take stuff out in order to fly with it. Saved so much hassle." —B. M. O'Connor

17. A portable espresso maker for the coffee lover to easily whip up caffeine goodness no matter where in the world they are. Whether they're hiking in the mountains, camping in the woods, or just hanging out in the Airbnb, they'll always be able to have a delicious shot of coffee.
They just fill it with ground coffee and hot water, pump, and pour!
Promising review: "This works so well for camping for a quick coffee craving! Took this camping over the weekend and used it a few times at the office. Depending on the grinds you use, it's good for a light single espresso shot or if you reuse the same grinds and purge three capfuls of water through the filter, you'll get a full cup of coffee. Works great without lugging a glass press around in your backpacking or camp gear! Easy to clean and store away with the retractable priming handle." —SocKeTPupPet

18. A travel wallet that'll have them feeling like a seasoned traveler with everything organized. This wristlet helps them quickly locate their documents so they don't hold up the loooong check-in line. With pockets for their passport, cash, ID cards, and boarding passes, they'll never have to worry about losing or misplacing anything again.
The wallet has a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, slim pocket, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, key holder, and pen holder.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen (¥), which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony Luu

19. A jewelry organizer to keep all their dainty chains and elaborate earrings organized and tangle-free, especially the new ones Santa brings them!
Promising review: "Great product! First, it’s adorable. I love the color and fabric quilting, the gold zippers. Second, it is the perfect size for my jewelry when I travel. I don’t usually bring much jewelry so this is a good size for me. The necklaces stayed tangle-free, and there are enough small zippered compartments for my bracelets and larger earrings. I was concerned about the organizer only having a snap closure and not zipping up all the way, but everything stayed secure and nothing fell out of place, so there’s that. Overall, a great product and I would assume the other sizes and varieties are of similar quality." —Emily

20. A warm, puffy Rumpl blanket —the ideal travel companion for anyone who wants to stay warm and comfortable while spending time outdoors. It folds up neatly and takes up very little space, leaving room for their other gear. It's also water-repellant and will keep them dry even during a sudden downpour.
Based in Portland, Oregon, Rumpl is a small biz that makes a variety of cozy blankets, from the aforementioned puffy blanket to fleece throws.
Promising review: "Best everywhere blanket. Super lightweight but deliciously warm. I normally require an electric heated blanket in air conditioned environments but with this blanket I can ditch the cord! Colors are as bright as in the pictures. Super soft and dog hair and water resistant. The perfect blanket for our RV camping adventures." —D.C. Rivera

21. A waterproof, satin-lined Hairbrella to spare their freshly done hairstyle from unexpected weather on their travels. The adjustable strap allows them to snugly tighten the cap around their head, making sure every strand stays completely dry. This will also keep their hands free so they don't have to juggle an umbrella and try to open the car door at the same time.
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect natural hair.
Promising review: "If you have natural hair that you wear in a silk press… you need the Hairbrella! If you have natural hair that you wear curly… you need the Hairbrella! If you have relaxed hair… you need the Hairbrella! Basically after losing my umbrella and resorting to the dreaded grocery bag over my head… I found Hairbrella on Amazon and I bought one for myself and two other relatives. We chose not to chemically straighten our hair, so humid or rainy days can be a choice to return to our beautiful curls if an umbrella is not handy. So imagine our excitement to find a stylish, lined waterproof rain bonnet that won’t have me looking wild with a grocery bag on my head as I enter buildings. Buy this…. You won’t be disappointed!" —Sherry

22. An accessible but sneaky money belt with a hidden zippered pocket to stash extra money, allowing them to move around more freely and comfortably knowing that their valuables are protected.
Promising review: "Wore this belt on a recent 10-day trip, with several hundred dollars neatly folded in its full-length zippered pocket. The bills (USD) had to be folded lengthwise, in thirds, and for practical reasons, in stacks of 4–5 (or less). My belt had room for four such stacks, so theoretically $2,000 could be comfortably carried in complete concealment. The nylon buckle was perfectly adequate for its purpose, and nothing about the belt would indicate its hidden purpose. Well worth it." —Tony B.

Based in Brooklyn, New York, Brevite is a family-owned small business that makes both camera and everyday backpacks that don't sacrifice style for functionality.
Promising review: "AMAZING! I've always complained about how I never seem to have my camera on me when I find myself in a situation with opportunities for incredible photos, but now I'll be able to carry my camera alongside everything I usually carry and always be ready! There's plenty of space inside, I love the color, and I love how it looks like a totally unsuspecting campus-type backpack so I'm not running around with a camera bag slung over my shoulder. Consider this to be my new favorite carry-on bag!!!" —Charles M.

24. A 2-in-1 travel blanket and pillow so they can stay warm and cozy while they curl up and take a quick nap while waiting in between flights. And when they aren't using the blanket, they can fold it up into a cute plushy pillow. Plus, it has a handle pass-through that slips right onto their suitcase to keep their hands free.
Promising review: "I bought this product before taking a six-hour flight and it was a lifesaver. The pillow has a strap behind it to put it on your luggage so that it doesn't have to be carried. Very convenient when traveling. The blanket kept me warm on the plane and when the blanket is folded into the pillow it is also comfortable. Would definitely recommend." —Robynn

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

This portable device allows them to connect their phone to their car's radio and enjoy the freedom of vibing to all their favorite tunes.
With this, they can answer calls hands-free, as well as charge their phone via the two USB ports.

27. A chic anti-theft backpack any adventure seeker would appreciate. The only way to open it is from underneath — thanks to the zipper being flush against your back. Not only does it add an extra layer of security by keeping their valuables out of sight, but it will also keep them from being a target for pickpockets.
Promising review: "I bought this backpack to use as a purse while on vacation, and it worked perfectly. The main pouch is protected when you’re walking around because the zipper is protected by your back. There are also two side zippered pockets, one of which kept my phone and the other perfect for sunglasses and a few other items that I wanted to access more easily. I loved that I could wear it as a purse to dinner but use it as a backpack during the day so that my shoulder didn’t get tired. I highly recommend this item!" —Allison

28. And finally, a smartphone lens kit so they can take their vacation photos to the next level. This lens can be easily clipped onto their smartphone camera so they can capture all of the beautiful scenery around them, having their IG feed look like a professional took it.
This comes with fish-eye, macro, and wide-angle lenses, plus a microfiber cloth for wiping away dust and fingerprint smudges!
Promising review: "I love these little lenses! I do a fair amount of DSLR photography and got the Galaxy S4 this spring specifically for the camera. These lenses make it even more versatile and fun to use. They fit on snugly without any damage. They also fit on several other phones in the family including an iPhone 5 with Otterbox and an iPad 3 with case. The wide-angle and fish-eye both greatly increase the field of view, and the glass seems to be good quality. The macro is fun to play with, too, although getting a steady focus by hand is a little challenging. My next purchase will be a Joby GorillaPod with a phone mount. My only question is why they didn't include caps for the back of the lenses, although the cloth bag seems to keep them pretty clean if I'm careful. Altogether, it's a nice set that easily fits in my bag or pocket for travel. Can't beat the price either; I'll probably get a few for Christmas gifts." —bdegalli
