1. A pack of SPF lip balms that'll keep your pout hydrated and protected from UV rays, if your vacay itinerary includes basking in the sweet sun.
2. A microfibre beach towel that packs down pretty small, so you can stash it in your bag without a problem. It's designed to dry quickly, meaning you won't have to lug around a sopping towel post-swim.
3. A bestselling hardshell carry-on luggage to save your belongings from getting smooshed. This baby actually expands for a little extra capacity, which means you can go ahead and pack that umpteenth pair of underwear.
4. A pair of Teva sandals that'll do you a heck of a lot more good than flimsy flip-flops. They have two adjustable straps that'll keep 'em from slipping off while you stroll over to the beach.
5. A universal power adapter because if you're going to a country with different outlets, you'll want to be able to plug in your stuff (obviously!).
6. A toiletry set you can fill up with your fave essentials, so you won't have buy a bunch of minis. It comes with four silicone bottles and two tiny tubs that don't exceed 100 mL, meaning you can pack 'em all in your carry-on.
7. A packing list pad that'll help you get organized before you head out on your trip. If you're anything like me and always forget to bring that one thing you really need (like your passport lol), having this handy reminder will be a big help.
8. A mesh tote bag that'll allow sand to slip right through it, so you won't have to shake it out every time you return from the beach. It has an internal pocket that zips up, which will help you keep your smaller items from getting lost in the fray.
9. A quick-dry sun hat that'll bless your face and hair with a little shade. It has a snapback opening that'll let you adjust its size and stick your ponytail through it, too.
10. A waterproof pouch that'll save your phone from getting wet or clogged with sand. Reviewers love that they can still use their touchscreen without taking their device out of its protective bubble.
11. A pair of durable luggage tags in case your checked bag goes missing. You have to open it up to reveal all of your personal information (for privacy), but there's a little window that'll display your name (or whatever you choose to write in that area).
12. A fanny pack that'll double as a mini cooler you can use to keep your icy beverages within arm's reach, no matter the adventure. Because why settle for a lukewarm sip when you can have a cold one?
13. A pair of sunglasses that'll become your go-to accessory when you're soaking up that vitamin D. Reviewers say they're perfect to bring travelling when you don't want to worry about losing your designer shades.
14. And a sunglasses case to keep your specs protected while you're on the go.
15. A sarong-style coverup you can throw on when you don't feel like strutting around in nothing but a bikini. It's super lightweight though, meaning you won't overheat while you wear it.
16. A pack of laundry detergent sheets that won't take up much room in your luggage. If you plan on doing your own laundry while you're on your trip, skip the risk of packing liquid detergent and just bring these with you instead.
17. A waterproof beach blanket that rolls up into a teeny-tiny pouch, making it a cinch to tote around while you're out and about. It comes with four stakes you can use to make sure it doesn't blow away when you aren't sitting on it.
18. And finally, a travel wallet that'll ✨actually fit✨ your passport, visas, and other IDs, while keeping everything together and organized in one spot. Because TBH, there's nothing worse than rummaging through your bag to find what you need once you hit airport security.
Have SO much fun, y'all!
