    30 Space-Saving Travel Products That'll Make You Go, "Welp, Wish I'd Had This On My Last Trip"

    This 2-in-1 hair curler, foldable water bottle, and collapsible stroller will change the way you pack forever.

    1. A set of packing cubes that allow you to separate your pieces, creating more space in your suitcase for all your stylish must-haves. No more guessing games or cramming — you'll have everything organized and easy to find.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love these. I’ve actually purchased a few different sets in various colors. They help organize the suitcase better and save a ton of space. It was so much easier to pack and combine outfits into separate bags. I had a bag set up for each day of my vacation and everything I needed was in there. I was all set. No searching or digging around my suitcases. Just a little planning before we left and everything went smoothly using these bags." —Owl Lady

    Get a set of eight from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 33 styles).

    2. And a pack of vacuum storage bags if you're traveling with a large family or going to a colder climate and need to pack bulkier clothes. Just make sure you bring the included pump so you can also use these bags to separately store dirty laundry.

    Jasmin Sandal / BuzzFeed

    My former colleague Jasmin Sandal is a fan: "I swear by these bad boys not only for general storage purposes, but also if I know I'm going to be traveling for an extended period of time. As someone who tends to pack for every eventuality (who doesn't like to be prepared?!), I have learned that it's better to travel with them than without — especially since it's more or less a guarantee that my clothes are gonna take up a ~substantial~ amount of room in my suitcase. And if I can use something that's gonna shrink the size of my bulky hoodies and/or big tees in order for me to create more space, I'm sure as heck gonna do it. Plus, the satisfaction is indeed guaranteed because when you see those chunky layers flatten into a pancake...it's just *chef's kiss*."

    Promising review: "I've used these bags before and they are so helpful. Even used 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. Arrived on time, would use this seller again." —Susie Kochsmeier

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in four sizes, as well as other multipacks).

    3. An ingenious 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger the size of a tiny makeup compact, meaning it won't hog up valuable space in your bag. But don't let its cute size fool you! This little guy packs a punch by charging your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time.

    Promising review: "I use this product to charge my iPhone 13, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers doesn't fit well in my bags or I am always worried I would break. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find in market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" —Sbreddy

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in nine colors).

    4. A super lightweight Trtl pillow that can be attached to the outside of your backpack or luggage, and it's way less bulky than those U-shaped pillows you have to awkwardly lug around. It's designed to help keep your head upright, reducing the risk of neck aches and allowing you arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and relaxed.

    It weighs less than half a pound and is machine-washable!

    Promising review: "Been traveling on airplanes for decades and don't know HOW I survived without this little gem! It does exactly what it says. It's easy to carry, easy to use, and oh SO comfortable to wear. I could not recommend this more! 👍" —Metou

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in five colors).

    5. A bestselling and super affordable pair of flexible ballet flats that are lightweight and easily tuck into your luggage, taking up little to no space and leaving more room for snacks and souvenirs. Plus, reviewers say they're super comfy so you can wear them in the airport or out on the town while exploring a new city.

    Prime members: You can try before you buy!

    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

    Get them from Amazon for $23.70+ (available in women's sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and 33 styles). 

    6. A 2-in-1 hair tool so you can rock sleek straight hair on Monday and bouncy bombshell curls on Tuesday — all without having to lug around two separate tools. Say goodbye to sacrificing fabulous hair for the sake of travel convenience.

    It's also dual-voltage, so all you'll need is a plug adapter if you're traveling internationally. 

    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 $59.95 (available in black or white). 

    7. And a collapsible hair diffuser you can attach to your hotel room's hair dryer to maintain your perfect 'do no matter where you travel. It won't take up too much space like the big bulky plastic ones, leaving more room for the cute pair of shoes you just bought.

    same reviewer's photo of the diffuser folded up next to the hairdryer

    The Curly Co. is a small biz that was founded by Pavaune Pearson in 2015 with the goal of creating products that make caring for curly hair easier!

    Promising review: "So glad I bought this collapsible diffuser! It flattens out well and easily slides into tiny spaces in my suitcase, it's sturdy enough that it doesn't collapse while being used, and it fits snugly around oval and round-shaped hairdryer ends. It's my new go-to for on the road and quickly gives my wavy hair great results! No more shoving a giant hairdryer plus its hard plastic diffuser into an overpacked suitcase. No more having to leave stuff home or bring an extra bag (less cha-ching for airline fees). It's my new best travel buddy. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99

    8. A small but mighty portable water flosser that'll ensure your gum health is still up to par while on your getaway. This device is about as big as your hand and can go 30 days before having to be recharged. Now you'll have plenty of free room to stock up on Disneyland plushies.

    reviewer holding the extended water flosser in one photo next to them holding it folded into its case in another photo
    gif of reviewer demonstrating how the mini water flosser is used

    It comes with four flossing tips and has three cleaning modes, along with an included travel pouch.

    Promising reviews: "This is the water flosser I have been waiting for! I travel weekly for work all over the country and not only does it work well, it’s super compact. No more bulky ones taking up a lot of space in my suitcase. Bravo to whoever designed it!" —V. Oswald

    "I enjoy traveling, but always hated the amount of space and weight used to carry other flossers, especially when travel restrictions limited me to a small bag and only 33 pounds total for all. This device is PERFECT! So compact, and even the nozzle slides into it so it won’t get lost. There’s a small bag to hold everything (they provide other nozzles). I tested it out, and the pressure is fine. Love that I can charge it using a USB port! Looking forward to my next trip!" —B. Murray

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

    9. And a pack of gentle 2-in-1 flossing toothbrushes, because a single product that does the job of two is just *chef's kiss*. This toothbrush has special bristles that clean in between your teeth, so it won't just save space in your toiletries bag; it'll also save you time during your morning routine.

    BuzzFeeder's photo of the toothbrush, with an arrow pointing towards the bristles with text: tiny

    Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Amazon

    Mouthwatchers is a small biz founded by Ronald Plotka, DDS. Their toothbrushes are made with silver-infused bristles to eliminate 99% of bacteria, and the dual-layered design helps the brush reach those deep areas where 95% of cavities form. 

    Promising review: "Let me preface this by saying, I hate flossing! I could never get through my entire mouth without setting off my gag reflex at least twice, and even then it never got fully cleaned. My gums are also extremely sensitive and bleed easily. To combat this, I have tried every toothbrush imaginable to get me a good clean with minimal bleeding; regular ones, electric, three-sided, 10,000 bristles — nearly everything besides a robot that will brush my teeth for me. I found these on BuzzFeed and immediately ordered them. I am so impressed with the way they clean, my teeth and gums feel so damn clean and my gums aren’t even swollen, or bleeding. It’s like being fresh from the dentist! These are certainly a toothbrush that I will purchase again and again!" —Katelyn

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.45.

    10. An essential floppy hat that can keep up with your adventurous spirit. Not only does it provide the perfect amount of shade for all your excursions, but it's also made with breathable mesh material so you won't have to worry about overheating. And the best part: You can easily fold it up and bring it wherever your journey takes you.

    Psst: Many reviewers say it keeps its shape, even after being folded into a suitcase!

    Promising review: "I bought this hat for a recent trip to the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Parks. It was extremely hot and sunny most of the trip, and this hat was a lifesaver while hiking in areas with little shade. It didn't stain from sweat, kept sun out of my eyes, and prevented my face from sunburning, and didn't soak through when a sudden downpour hit at the Grand Canyon. I folded it down flat to store in my suitcase and it popped right back up without wrinkles or creases. Very pleased." —M. Ullman

    Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in black and beige). 

    11. A foldable water bottle designed to take up barely any space in your personal bag when flying, which will have you feeling light and free while on the go. Plus, you won't have to keep buying $15 water bottles every time you're thirsty, which is also a win.

    The water bottle rolled up
    The water bottle at it's full height

    Plus, it's lead-, latex-, and BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and can be used for hot or cold drinks.

    Promising review: "Bought this water bottle for a trip to Disney world. At home I always have my 40-ounce water bottle nearby. I was worried about walking around the park and not having quick access to water on those hot park days. We only brought a fanny pack in and didn’t have room for something big. This was perfect! Was able to fill up with water, wasn’t too overbearing to hold and super easy to fold up and throw in the bag when not in use. My only regret is I didn’t buy two!" —E. Alarcon

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 14 colors and three sizes).

    12. And a practical and beautiful Stojo collapsible travel cup, which reduces to the size of a 2-inch disk that you can toss in your bag for safekeeping.

    The coffee cup folded to the size of a hockey puck

    It even comes with a straw, can hold both hot and cold liquids, and is dishwasher- and microwave-safe. 

    Stojo is a small biz aiming to eliminate single-use plastics with their portable and reusable products. 

    Promising review: "I have bought many coffee mugs over the years for travel or even driving around. This one has the ability to collapse, which makes it so wonderful to travel with and not have to have as much room. It collapses very easily and is also just as easy to set up for drinking. I have used it in the microwave, but have only hand-washed it so far. No issues, even after a trip I took visiting national parks recently." —Mark C. Stevens

    Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in four sizes and 24 colors). 

    13. Tide sink packets so you don’t pack your entire wardrobe just to make sure you have clean clothes for your trip. These little packs allow you to hand-wash your clothes in the hotel sink, giving you the chance to rewear outfits and save space in your suitcase. And don’t worry, they are well sealed to limit the chances of leaks!

    Promising reviews: "Great product. Used it to wash some clothes while traveling for a week and half. Did a great job and allowed me to pack less. Will be purchasing again for a two-week trip coming up." —April M.

    "Some in our party were forced to check their carry-on bags due to lack of space on the plane. Our connecting flight then got canceled and we ended up on a different plane…some of the bags didn’t make it and these Tide sink packs SAVED US! We were able to keep a rotation of things clean while we waited for our bags. I was ASTONISHED at how much sweat and grime came out of my clothes after a long, hot day of travel! Won’t travel without them ever again." —Kristin St. Martin

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $6.64 (available six different sizes and packs).

    14. A pocket-sized, refillable travel perfume atomizer that pumps perfume directly from your full-sized bottle. Now you can take your favorite fragrance through TSA without any issues.

    Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this thing: "^ That's me pumping my signature perfume into one of these travel atomizers I've been using for about a year. As the reviewer down below mentions, it's great to just throw in your purse on the reg for a fragrance re-up throughout the day. As you can see, it's about the size of my thumb and therefore takes up very little room. Plus! It's smaller than most rollerball travel fragrances you can pick up. This first one is working so well, that I just have the other three in storage. But if this one bites the dust this summer during travels, I'll be OK about digging into my stores to use one of the remaining three...especially at this price point." 

    Promising review: "I bought these due to traveling a lot for work and needing to cut down on the size of things in my carry-on bag for flying. I can bring four different perfumes now instead of one big one. They’re super easy to fill, haven’t leaked so far but I keep them in a sandwich baggie while traveling just in case. I would 100% buy them again." —Emily

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.65.

    15. waterproof toiletry bag with enough room to fit all of your morning AND nighttime routine products. It also hangs in the bathroom so it's easy to see everything you packed.

    reviewer photo of the unfolded toiletry bag filled with products hanging on a bathroom wall

    Promising review: "I waited too long to review this amazing bag. It's incredibly well made for the price, holds so many items, but somehow feels like it fits just fine in your suitcase without being too bulky. It's really nice to hang once you get to your destination, especially if the bathroom space is tight like in city hotels, or if you have numerous people using one bathroom, you can leave it hanging without being in the way. Anyway, buy now!" —Sarah B

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and 12 styles).

    16. A handy pop-up brush with a built-in mirror that easily fits in your purse and is perfect for quick hair touch-ups throughout the day. Plus, it folds up into the size of a puck, so it won't take up too much space in your bag alongside your can of dry shampoo and other beauty essentials.

    Promising reviews: "Got these for our trip to Disney to keep my hair manageable between rides. These little brushes are awesome. I keep one in my purse now." —Courtney

    "Love it! The brush is soft, yet combs through my thick hair well. It fits well in small places like your front pants pocket or a small zippered pouch of a purse, because it folds flat. Fits in the palm of your hand!" —Smart Shopper

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.99 (available in seven color combos). 

    17. A Pocket Blanket — this amazing blanket is so compact that you can take it with you wherever you go. With metal stakes and corner pockets, you can easily secure it to the ground, making it perfect for picnics, beach days, or just lounging in the park.

    Ciera Velarde / BuzzFeed

    Matador is a small biz specializing in durable, innovative products with the intention of making travel easier. 

    My former colleague Ciera Velarde swears by this thing: "I have this blanket and it really, truly fits in your pocket! When folded completely out, it fits two people lying down and would probably fit up to four people sitting. It's super thin without being flimsy, and any water, dirt, or sand just rolls right off of it. I did get some sunscreen on my blanket the last time I used it, but I threw it in the washing machine when I got home and hung it to dry and it was as good as new. I took this to the beach this summer, and the stakes in the corner and the sand pockets were super helpful at keeping it from flying away in the wind. It also has a very subtle stitched guide on the blanket that you follow to fold it back up to pocket-size. This blanket is so great and is a must for spontaneous hiking trips, beach days, or even a date in the park."

    Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in three colors, as well as a mini size).

    18. A genius Alleyoop Pen Pal, the ultimate travel companion for those who want to keep things light but still look their best. With just a simple twist, you can switch between eyeliner, lip liner, brow pencil, and highlighter, making it the perfect all-in-one tool for any makeup routine.

    Jasmin Sandal / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    My former colleague Jasmin Sandal loves the Pen Pal: "I didn't realize I'd ever use a makeup product in my 20s that had the ability to transport me back to something I used in sixth grade, but here we are; and here I am using a multitool pen...for my face. After using all of the functions (eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner, eyebrow pencil) and as someone who LOVES makeup but was applying as little as humanly possible during lockdown, I think it’s a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It's ideal to use for touchups come the end of the workday, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already overflowing makeup bag!"

    Promising review: "I love it! Great for when I have to go out and don't have a lot of room in my purse. I hate having to drag around a huge makeup bag in my purse that takes up 90% of its space! And I love the mauve shades!" —Jessica Spano

    Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in three shades). 

    19. Plus, a brightening moisturizer and SPF 30 sunscreen duo — with these two powerhouses combined, you can ditch the extra bottle in your bag and have more room for your other essentials. This sunscreen also has some extra special ingredients to give you that radiant, sun-kissed glow you've been dreaming of, sans any white cast.

    The secret? Vitamin C! This brightening ingredient helps to even out skin tone and give you a healthy glow. And to top it all off, safflower oil is here to hydrate and restore radiance without leaving you with a chalky white cast.

    And at just 2 ounces, it's TSA-approved, in case you're flying!

    Bolden is a Black woman–owned small biz making skincare products that are never tested on animals. 

    Promising reviews: "I love this moisturizer. Being a dark-skinned African American, I find that often times sunscreen leaves a residue. This is the first sunscreen I've ever used that doesn't leave any weird discoloration, feels great on my skin, and it aids in reducing hyperpigmentation. I even have sensitive skin and haven't had any breakouts while using Bolden's sunscreen. A pump and a half is all I need for my face and neck." —Missy D

    "I am quite white. I have pores the size of small craters. I struggle constantly with an oily face. I also have allergies to many chemicals used in sunscreen, so certain brands will give me a rash. This is the only sunscreen I've found doesn't cause a reaction, doesn't feel oily, doesn't clog my pores, and protects me from the sun for hours." —Jubilee Fazio

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99

    20. A lightweight collapsible stroller, a game changer for jetsetting parents. It folds up compactly so you can store it in the overhead compartment or under your seat, and it's even equipped with a handle for easy carrying when your hands are already full with the kids. And did I mention it weighs less than 10 pounds? 

    gif of reviewer showing how quickly and compactly the stroller folds up
    same reviewer's photo of the black stroller folded up next to the stuffed bunny for scale

    It's designed to hold kids who weigh up to 55 pounds. 

    Promising review: "Best stroller ever! WE LOVE THIS STROLLER! My husband originally purchased it because I was afraid to take our big stroller on the plane to gate check. I was traveling alone, so ease of use and portability was really important. I was amazed at how convenient it was to collapse and slide under my seat on the plane and it maneuvered well through the airport and throughout our trip. I received many compliments and a few moms even asked me where to buy one. Since then, we have been on a few more flights and many excursions and are still in love with this purchase!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $178.99 (available in black or blue, as well as in two other styles). 

    21. And a highly rated fold-up booster seat that will be every parent's new travel hack. Not only is it compact enough to fit in your trunk with ease, but it's also a breeze to set up, even when you're in a rush. And let's not forget about the best part: the detachable tray! It's perfect for holding all your little one's snacks, small toys, or even a sippy cup.

    reviewer photo of the teal booster seat on a table
    reviewer photo of the booster seat disassembled next to its carrying bag

    It's designed for children aged six months to 3 years old, and can hold up to 30 pounds. Convenient features include a machine washable cover, dishwasher-safe swivel tray, and removable "duck feet" to keep it from sinking into surfaces like grass!

    Promising reviews: "We got this seat for traveling to visit family and it worked great. It fit on all the chairs, and the extra feet attachments were perfect for making it so it wouldn't dig into the seat cushion while strapped down by spreading out the force. It's easy to clean and compact enough that we were able to store it in the car seat while traveling by air, so it did not take up any extra luggage space. At home, we also use it as a chair for our child, who loves to sit in it because it's the perfect height to sit on when it's on the floor." —Sachleen Sandhu

    "I use this every time we go out to eat or to a friend's house. I love how easy it is to set up and take down. If it gets dirty, which it does with a messy 9-month-old, it’s easy to wipe off or take off completely and throw in the wash for the harder messes." —Courtney Embry

    Get it from Amazon for $39.92 (available in three colors). 

    22. And for your fur baby, a collapsible BarkBowl so light and compact, you can clip it onto your water bottle or backpack and take it anywhere with you. Reviewers say it's the perfect size for all doggos and it’s easy to clean, so you won't have to worry about any messes.

    One reviewer also pointed out that it’s made with durable material that can handle even the toughest chewers. 

    Promising review: "Love it!! I have a big boy who needs a big bowl to drink out of, but we hate carrying one around when hiking. We just clip this onto our backpack and go! Great space saver." —Madison Baker

    Get it from Amazon for $15.89 (available in six colors). 

    23. A lovely reversible dress you can switch from a playful shirred top to a sophisticated crisscross look. It's like having two dresses, but with only one hanger needed.

    Promising review: "Drop everything and buy this. I had fairly low expectations, but this dress had good reviews. I ordered it in black to be safe and let me just say, I will be ordering every color. It’s gorgeous! I love the versatility and the pockets. The material is breathable and flows beautifully. Feels expensive, perfect for spring/summer. I’m so excited to wear it and will be buying again!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $48.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 17 styles). 

    24. And a Hackwith Design House shirt if you’re notorious for trying to pack your entire closet. With this single top, you can mix and match with different bottoms to create five different outfits.

    Hackwith Design House

    Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small biz making sewn-to-order clothing in their Minnesota studio. On Mondays, they also release limited-edition designs so you can be one of only 25 people to own a piece! 

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart has this shirt and loves it: "All credit for its discovery goes to TikToker @jennifer.bianca who I happened to stumble across on my FYP. It checks all my boxes: black, comfortable, versatile, and durable. My initial worry was that I wouldn't feel secure in it (I have a 38DDD chest and most wrap tops/dresses I've tried haven't stayed where they're supposed to), but I haven't had an issue with this! I've worn it tied in the front giving me a square neck (like the middle picture) and tied in the back giving me a V-neck up front (just like the photo on the right) — both were super comfortable and I didn't have to adjust myself at all. 

    "As someone whose weight fluctuates, I also appreciate that this piece can handle pounds gained and lost. The fabric is medium weight so I'll be wearing it season to season and there's just enough elasticity in the arms that if you roll up your sleeves, they won't fall back down. All that is to say trust that I will be buying additional colors!"

    Get it from Hackwith Design House for $145 (available in sizes XS–4X and five colors). 

    25. A TSA-friendly toiletries set so you can breeze through security checkpoints without a care in the world. These travel-sized bottles allow you to bring all the essentials you need, from your Olaplex shampoo and conditioner to your Native body wash and lotion.

    the set with bag and labels
    reviewer holding three small travel storage tubs in assorted colors

    It comes with four small bottles, three small tubs, two toothbrush covers, labels, and a travel bag. 

    Promising reviews: "This set is perfect for traveling. Was looking for a set to use for work (flight attendant). I use the bottles for lotion, body wash, hair oil, and shampoo. None of them have leaked yet, and I love that it comes with a bag just in case. The only negative is that sometimes you need to unscrew the cap to puff the bottles back out after you squeeze them, but doesn’t really bother me. It’s a quick fix. Easy to fill/refill." —Kandice222 

    "I cruise a lot and space is a commodity there isn't much of on a cruise ship. This little pack came in handy because of that. This is perfect for carrying shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion along with you anywhere. The little bag is handy as well." —Jennifer Lynne

    26. An incredibly soft MakeUp Eraser that removes all makeup *including mascara* with just warm water. You won't have to bring super bulky bottles of makeup remover or cleanser with you, freeing up space in your carry-on bag.

    It has two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. And each one lasts for up to five years!

    Promising review: "This did exactly what it claims to do. I use some warm water on a little part and my whole makeup comes off, even mascara! I used to always buy makeup wipes and this has saved me so much money. I just throw it in with the laundry and it’s perfect. I’ve been using it for over six months now and it hasn’t failed me at all, it’s worth the money!!" —Sharmin Rahman

    Get it from Amazon for $14.35+ (available in 12 styles).

    27. A pair of reusable waterproof shoe covers, because they're easier to put in a carry-on than clunky rain boots. These covers are made with heavy-duty material, so you don't have to worry about water seeping in. They're so compact, they can easily fold down and fit right in your backpack for those unexpected downpours.

    There's a handy sizing chart provided on the product listing page so you can find your ideal fit!

    Promising reviews: "Truly amazing for a rainy day at Disneyland! I got asked about them by at least 100 people that day, when everyone’s shoes were wet and uncomfortable and mine were super dry!! Highly recommend them. Very easy to use, and also the bottoms were non-slippery! Must-have for a rainy activity day!" —Juhi

    "Exactly as described. The size was exactly right for my shoe size. Perfect for a trip, as they take up very little space in a suitcase and work quite well to keep the rain out and puddles away from shoes." —Caroljean

    28. A very cute and practical fan, flashlight, and USB port, the perfect addition to your next trip. This fan has three different speeds and holds a charge for a long time. When folded down, it easily fits in a purse or pocket, and you can even use it as a backup power bank for your phone!

    It's rechargeable (no batteries!) and can be folded and propped up on a desk or other flat surface. Lots of reviewers said it's great to have on hand if you're experiencing hot flashes!

    Promising review: "Impulse bought this for a 90-degree day at Disneyland and now my kids cannot live without it. It lasted all day on one charge, even with the kids playing with it for hours. Also brought it camping and the flashlight was great for them. Bringing it on every trip from now on." —Michelle

    29. And speaking of chargers, an adorable 3-in-1 portable power bank shaped like a macaron, because you can never be too prepared. This multi-use power bank will make sure your phone is always juiced up to capture all of the pics and videos to your heart's content. Plus, it's also a hand warmer and a mirror!

    30. And finally, Solgaard's Carry-On Closet, which is the ultimate carry-on suitcase. This bag pops out into a six-tier shelving unit that fits nearly a week's worth of outfits. It meets all airline requirements, so you don't have to worry about checking in your luggage.

    Its lining is made with plastic from coastal communities that otherwise could have ended up in the ocean! The smaller size is accepted as a carry-on by all international airlines, including European budget ones, while the larger one meets all US airline standards. 

    Promising review: "Great design that allows me to organize everything I need in much less space than I ever expected. Take your time to select and pack your things thoughtfully and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much you can get into this carry-on. I have several pieces of luggage in different sizes and I’m giving them away because this is all I need. The size and versatility make it the perfect carry-on." —Michelle C.
