1. An adhesive phone wallet pouch for a simple way to keep your license and credit cards handy when you're out exploring or in the TSA line. This eliminates the need to lug around an extra wallet or purse, and you won't have to worry about accidentally misplacing them somehow.
2. A trio of on-the-go Poo-Pourri spray bottles to help alleviate any anxiety — and more importantly, the smell — associated with going number two in the hotel, Airbnb, or other public restrooms.
3. A box of internet-loved Mighty Patch pimple patches so you can quickly get rid of the untimely zit that decided to show up the day of your trip (like c'mon universe, why today?!). Just pop this on, and after about 8–12 hours, when it turns white, it'll be practically gone!
4. A portable door lock to give you extra peace of mind when it comes to safety in the hotel room or Airbnb.
5. A pack of Apple AirTags so you can keep track of your bags at all times with your smartphone. Losing your luggage is about to become a fear of the past!
6. A Tide-To-Go instant stain remover pen because you can't risk one of your carefully selected outfits being ruined by a spill! This will rescue your clothes from any near catastrophes.
7. A waterproof phone pouch that's a real game changer for beach vacays. Thanks to this, you won't have to worry about your phone getting wet or even worse, accidentally dropping it in the ocean as you're taking a selfie. 😅
8. A portable charging bank that will save the day when your phone dies, and you won't be heading back to the hotel for another few hours. Quickly charge up your device and get back to taking all those amazing photos!
9. A Bluetooth sleep headband with built-in speakers for the side-sleepers who need music, white noise, or other audio to fall asleep, especially when you're sleeping somewhere new, but can't stand uncomfy earbuds digging in (I feel your pain). This is the solution you've been waiting for!
10. A Hydroflask water bottle so you don't have to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a bottle of water at the airport or when you're out and about sightseeing. Even better, this one will keep your water cold and refreshing all day long, no matter how hot and sunny it is!
11. A pair of Beats noise-canceling headphones for when the baby next to you starts crying on the plane and all you want is peace and quiet. This will tune out all the noise so you can relax to your music or podcasts instead.
12. An adjustable memory foam neck pillow with an ergonomic design that actually supports the head, neck, and spine comfortably. Plus, it comes with a handy storage bag, eye mask, and earplugs. Maybe you'll finally get some rest on the red-eye this time.
13. A set of foldable packing cubes if just the thought of packing your suitcase (or re-packing it at the end of your trip) is stressing you out. These cubes make it super easy to organize all your clothes, shoes, and toiletries and might even save you some suitcase space.
14. A handheld steamer since clothes often get especially wrinkled after being packed in a suitcase, but with this, you'll be able to smooth out any and all creases and make sure you look ~polished and put together~ for your dinner date atop the Space Needle.
15. A pack of RFID-blocking sleeves for a super easy way to protect against identity theft and fraud. Simply slipping these over your cards and IDs will make it much harder for any scammers to steal your info electronically. With 12 color-coded credit card sleeves and three passport sleeves, you'll have more than enough to safeguard all your sensitive info!
16. A Revlon 2-in-1 hair styling tool if you're already stressing about how you're gonna do your hair without wasting a bunch of time each morning and packing a bajillion hair appliances. This small and portable gadget will dry, straighten, and smooth all at once, giving you a sleek blowout look in no time at all!
17. A deck of waterproof playing cards because when things get stressful (I'm particularly thinking about airport delays and long flights), playing a fun card game or round of solitaire will instantly improve the situation by offering a fun distraction.
18. A portable booster pack for anyone going on a road trip. This can safely jump your car's dead battery up to 20 times (!!!) on a single charge, all by itself, which means you won't get stranded on some random country road in the middle of nowhere waiting for Triple-A.
19. A disposable soap sheet dispenser since it's amazing how many public places never have soap in the bathrooms! But now, you'll only need water to wash your hands and get rid of germs.
20. A Lifestraw — basically a straw with a built-in purifying water filter — so you can drink from pretty much anywhere without worrying about contaminated water. It's great for camping and other outdoor adventures or trips to countries without easy access to clean drinking water.
21. A chic leather passport holder with a very handy slot for your vaccine card, just in case you're worried about misplacing probably the two most important documents you need for your trip overseas. Plus, there's also space for your other cards, all of which will be handily RFID-protected in this!
22. A Sea Band acupressure wristband that can help relieve nausea, dizziness, and motion sickness just by wearing it! Reviewers say it really does work, but even if you're skeptical, there's really no harm in giving it a try.
23. A stylish infinity scarf with a sneaky zippered pocket for carrying around cards, money, and IDs, because toting around a large purse is cumbersome and more susceptible to pick-pockets.
24. A 10-pack of compression bags because you'll be amazed at how many clothes will fit in a single suitcase (AKA no need to spend $ on checked bags) once you've rolled out all the air —and yes, you just roll and seal these bags, no pump required! For once you won't have to ask your travel companion to sit on your suitcase as you struggle to zip it up!
25. A digital luggage scale so you aren't nervously sweating when you show up to the counter to see if your bag is overweight. No more surprises for you!
26. A travel-sized weekly pill organizer to ensure you don't forget to take your vitamins and/or medication while you're away. It very conveniently organizes by day with different sections for AM/PM.
27. A universal power plug adaptor that will let you charge up your devices (both USB and USB-C) no matter where your travels bring you! In fact, with this in your bag, why not extend that layover in Amsterdam for a few days hehe.
28. A pair of mini reusable Stasher bags because they're the perfect size for packing a little snack, which means you needn't stress about hanger striking in the middle of your guided tour.
29. A travel-sized dry shampoo for when you've got reservations to make but unfortunately no time to shower (S/O to that flight delay 🙄). This will make your hair look fresh, clean, and ~on fleek~.
30. A hooded rain poncho that folds up into a tiny, lightweight pouch, since you never know when you might get caught in some wet weather, and it's best to be prepared. Stay dry and make those mems instead!
