1. An anti-theft backpack with a clever design that'll help protect your valuables. It opens from the back instead of the front, so you won't be a pickpocket victim anytime soon.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross says: "I recently returned from Italy, and as someone who prefers a small backpack over a purse most of the time, I thought this would be a great purchase, as it would give me some peace of mind as I spent hours wandering around different cities. I'm happy to report that after two weeks of daily use, I'm convinced I'll be bringing it on every trip I take from now on. It's small enough so that it doesn't feel bulky or uncomfortable throughout the day, but has plenty of space for everything you'd need on the go — I fit my wallet, sunscreen, glasses case, hand sanitizer, water bottle, snacks, and even a small umbrella, with room to spare! And the fact that it opens from the back means someone would literally have to pry it off of you to get to your valuables. I bought the medium size in black pebbled faux leather, and it's actually quite cute for the price!"
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
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and 14 styles).
2. A cute lil' luggage strap for a hands-free travel experience. If you're packing and suddenly questioning how on earth you'll carry everything through the airport, this strap has you covered.
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 $8.99+ (available in three colors and as a two-pack).
3. Or a travel belt if you're carrying a *much* heavier bag that can't safely hang from your luggage. Give your shoulders a rest and use this belt to secure your bag on top of your suitcase!
The travel belt is adjustable to 45 inches so it will fit most bags.
Cincha Travel is a Cali-based small biz started by a BIPOC couple that makes these adjustable straps from vegan leather. The brand also donates 100 airline miles for each purchase, which are used to reconnect separated migrant families.
Promising review: "My backpack was safe and secure with my Cincha belt! Loved that I was able to clip and unclip easily while going through security and while boarding and exiting the plane. I would definitely consider this a nice gift for anyone who enjoys travel!" —Michelle
Get it from Cincha Travel for $40 (available in 12 colors/designs; can be monogrammed for an additional $20).
4. A wheeled carry-on bag when you have zero intention of paying for a checked bag. It's small enough to fit under the seat, so it can even qualify as a personal item on extra strict airlines (you know the ones). You'll stroll through security like a pro with this bag in tow.
Now you won't even have to pull your suitcase outta the overhead!
Promising review: "If you are a consultant and struggle carrying big carry-ons. This is a perfect one for you. I love this purchase!!! Lightweight. Enough space for one to three days of travel. Thank you!" —SS
Get it from Amazon for $108.75+ (available in three colors).
5. A three-piece luggage set so you always have *just* the right size suitcase for your next trip. This set comes with a carry-on size, a smaller checked bag size, and a larger checked bag size.
These suitcases have TSA-approved locks, 360-degree wheels, interior mesh pockets, and telescoping handles.
Promising review: "My family travels internationally, which means lots of airplane transfers, rail, ferry loading and unloading. Each member has their own set. Only one cosmetic scuff has appeared. About to order another set for my mother as we are taking her to London, Scotland, and Ireland for the holidays. We rarely use the middle size. The small size we carry on, and the largest size we check. Very pleased with maneuvering and durability of wheels on various rough surfaces. The retractable handle makes for easy storage on ferries and railway. We’ve had zero issues with locking mechanism. We are a family of four with kids ages eight and 12." —ChiefLaughALot
Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in 17 colors).
6. And a discreet acrylic luggage tag in case you lose a bag while traveling. This ensures the airlines have your contact info. Plus, you can choose an eye-catching color so your bag is easier to spot on the luggage carousel!
You can personalize your luggage tag to include a name, address, and phone number or email. The shop also allows you to request a proof before the tag is made to confirm everything looks good. You'll also be able to decide whether you want a plastic loop or metal wire for hanging the tag from your luggage.
Evy Little Design is small biz in California that makes a variety of personalized products.
Promising review: "Perfect! I love them so much! Grabbed three. One for my backpack and one for each of my main suitcases! Bright and easy to spot on the luggage rack and carousel!! Planning to give some as gifts for the holidays!" —Caitlin Williams
Get it from Evy Little Design on Etsy for $10+ (available in dozens of colors and two loop options/sizes)
7. A digital luggage scale to give you peace of mind when you head to the airport. Is there anything better than knowing you won't incur an overweight bag fee after you so strategically packed your suitcase? I think not.
Promising review: "Buy this if you travel a lot. I travel with scuba dive gear and this saved me from going over the weight limit both going to the island and returning. I was a hero with my friends. They had no idea how much their bags weighed. I helped them too from going over their weight limit. It's easy to use and worth the money." —Tinadiver
Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in six colors and a two-pack).
8. A set of TSA-approved silicone travel bottles so your toiletries are ready for flight! This set also comes with spray bottles and jars for other products, like lotions and perfumes.
These BPA-free bottles feature a leakproof design so you won't have to worry about messy spills while traveling. You get four bottles, four jars, and two spray bottles. It also comes with two scoopers to use with the jars, a funnel for transferring liquids, a clear travel bag, a set of labels, and a cleaning brush.
Promising review: "This little set is perfect for your travel toiletries. Instead of paying $3 for those little travel bottles, you can fill your favorite products in these. The taller tubes are silicone and easy to fill. For the circular containers, I used the little scooper to fill them. I didn't use the spray bottles this trip, but I did use everything else, and I'm happy to say nothing leaked. Easy to clean after use as well." —Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $15.95.
9. A Trtl neck pillow for staying comfy on long flights without having to carry around a bulky neck pillow. Get some shut-eye before you arrive at your destination and wake up feeling ~refreshed~.
The Trtl pillow is adjustable — you wrap the pillow around your neck and secure it with Velcro, and if you find it's too loose, just make it a bit tighter! I've truly never slept better on a plane than with this pillow.
Promising review: "WOW! Literally life changing; used it on my 11-hr flight to and from Norway to SF and I usually can never sleep on planes, but this did the trick! It’s also super packable and doesn’t take up too much space!" —Julie Cox
Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in two sizes and six colors).
10. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter that'll connect your wireless earbuds to the inflight entertainment system. Goodbye, lousy airline headphones! With this level of expertise, your seat neighbor will probably ask for the deets.
You can connect up to two pairs of earbuds at a time and you'll get 16+ hours of battery life that'll help you survive those extremely long flights.
Promising review: "I fly a lot, and bought this due to disliking corded headphones, as either the cable line breaks during flight, and/or gets tangled up. I just recently flew four times last week and used them for the in-flight entertainment, and did not have one issue. I also use these in the gym while connected to my iPhone for music. And I plan to use them on my PC at work for meetings." —Marky
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (also available in two other styles).
11. And an in-flight phone mount to keep you entertained when the airline isn't offering anything good to watch. Simply attach it to your seat-back tray and enjoy any movies or shows you downloaded before takeoff.
Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil
Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in three colors and as a two-pack).
12. A pocket-sized, refillable travel perfume atomizer because you shouldn't have to leave your fave scent behind while traveling. It's super easy to use — just pump it on your full-size perfume bottle to fill up the atomizer!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lily says: "^ 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 and 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 $8.99.
13. A TSA-approved toiletry bag if you have your travel-sized bottles ready to go and just need a place to store 'em. You won't have to dig around to find things *and* you'll breeze through security like you own the place.
Promising review: "The full zipper that allows you to open the whole bag to utilize all the space is a game changer. I was able to pack all of my toiletries and liquids for a 5-day trip easily and while away I was able to easily access everything in the bag. By far the best liquid carry-on bag I've had." —Linda C Sughrue
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 11 colors).
14. Or! A set of compact Cadence containers for storing toiletries and other odds and ends. These handy leakproof containers are great for bath products, pills, small jewelry items, etc. The magnetic design keeps them together, too!
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 editor 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. 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 $76 (originally $84; available in eight colors and many customizable labels).
15. A collapsible water bottle that'll save you some space in your bag and ensure you stay hydrated while traveling. You'll also avoid the painful price tags of airport water, which is a win all by itself.
Promising review: "Great water bottle for travel. It is durable, compact when not in use, and versatile. One of the main reasons I like this collapsible bottle over others is the sliding band on it. It allows you to hold it firmly without squeezing the bottle and squirting the contents out of the top and all over the place. I bought mine, and a friend liked it so much that she bought one." —Vivian
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in eight colors).
16. Or a bottle with a Brita filter so you never question the quality of your drinking water regardless of where you are in the world. You should always learn about the water quality wherever you're headed, but this bottle is good to have on hand!
They do require replacement filters every two months; you can find a three-pack on Amazon for $11.25.
Promising review: "Holy moly. How did I live my life without this. I have always had a Brita container in my fridge, but I’m not home a lot. I travel and work, and am at school but no matter where I am, I have clean, fresh-tasting water. My only regret is that I did not buy it sooner. Awesome product." —Alexa Lyles
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors, and in insulated stainless steel for $34.99).
17. A luggage-mounted cup holder for travel days when you're zipping through the airport with your hands full as you try to make it to the gate without spilling your precious iced coffee.
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
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 22 colors/patterns).
18. A set of packing cubes you'll soon wonder how you ever traveled without. Keep your clothes organized *and* free up more room inside your suitcase. New packing level unlocked: expert!
Promising review: "I travel frequently and travel light. My luggage is usually limited to a backpack that slides under the airline seat. For a two-week European cruise, I added a carry-on rolling suitcase. I've used these packing cubes twice so far, and I am hooked. One cube holds everything (including clothing) I take on a three-night trip. The cube slides into my pack, saving massive amounts of room, and everything is easy to find during travel and at the hotel. Taking out one cube and unzipping is much better than digging through a pack! I will never leave home without these!" —Gura
Get a set of four from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 10 colors).
19. A travel adapter and voltage converter if you're traveling internationally and need to plan ahead when it comes to plugging anything into an outlet. It comes with three international adapters, so you'll be good to go.
There are also four USB ports, and it converts 220/240 V to 110/120 V.
Promising review: "Worked perfectly on a recent trip to England and France. I used it to power a MacBook Air, a Windows laptop, two iPhones, and two portable chargers. I like the design of the case. The form factor is so much sleeker than most of the other travel transformers available. One thing I didn't realize when I ordered it (because I was in a hurry and didn't read the specs thoroughly) is that this device has a fan to dissipate heat from stepping down the voltage. While the fan is not extremely loud, neither is it silent. I found it a pleasant source of white noise that actually helped me sleep at night, but you might not." —Lake Mist
Get it from Amazon for $39.98.
20. A cable and charger organizer to restore order to all those tangled cords in your bag. It can hold tons of cables, so you'll always be charged and connected on the go. Plus, the gorgeous leather design will make staying organized while traveling *much* more appealing.
Mister Crafter is a small business that creates handmade, personalizable travel products, wallets, and accessories made from 100% top-quality genuine cowhide leather.
Promising review: "I bought this for my husband before a trip and he loved it! The quality and durability were obvious the moment I took it out of the box. Definitely recommend this company and product." —Maureen Murphy-Weiss
Get it from Mister Crafter on Etsy for $39.80+ (originally $56.86; available in two sizes and two colors, personalization also available).
21. Some vacuum storage bags for anyone with a tendency to over-pack. Place your items in the storage bag and suck out the air with the included travel pump. No travel outfit shall be left behind!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jasmin Sandal says: "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: "These worked awesome for our holiday trip, saved so much space, because winter clothing is very space-consuming and bulky. I will say, try to fold nicely, when possible, that way you will avoid wrinkles, and also unpack as soon as possible and you won't need to spend a whole day ironing clothing." —Catalina I
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four sizes, as well as packs of six and 10).
22. A spacious Everlane weekender bag when you're taking a quick trip but still need a bag with plenty of room for the essentials. It's also great for air travel thanks to the pass-through handle that attaches to your rolling suitcase.
As if that weren't enough, it's also made of 100% recycled polyester!
Promising review: "I bought this bag to bring on my month-long trip to Europe this summer. It served as a carry-on and as an addition to my medium-sized suitcase. First of all, the quality of the materials is excellent, very sturdy, and perfect for those hectic travel days. Also, it fits great in a plane or train overhead compartment. In addition, the pass-through is a godsend; it ensured that my bag stayed in place when put on top of my suitcase and as both bags were lugged around those small cobblestone streets. Finally, the bag is super spacious; I couldn't believe the amount of things that I could fit in it, and the compartments allowed for great organization of those items. What more can I say, a great travel companion that I will be using for years to come and that I would highly recommend to anyone who is in the market for one. Thanks, Everlane!" —Sara Anne
Get it from Everlane for $95 (available in five colors).
23. A slim jewelry organizer so you can pack your jewelry without it becoming a knotted mess. When you're not using it, it'll fold up into a thin little case that takes up hardly any room in your luggage.
Promising review: "Great product! First, it’s adorable. I love the color, fabric quilting, and 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
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two sizes and nine styles).
24. Or a small jewelry case with enough space to store your daily wear items, like necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings. It's very compact so you can even carry it in your purse.
Promising review: "I travel a lot for work, and this jewelry box has everything I was looking for! It’s a nice small size and has plenty of storage for necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, and even a watch! Very good quality, and I love the color. Highly recommend!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" —Morgan
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in nine colors; be sure to clip the $2 off coupon on the product page for this price).
25. A genius Toptote hat clip because obviously you don't want to stuff your fave hat in a suitcase! The magnetic clip prevents you from losing your hat and it won't cause any damage, either.
The magnetic clip securely attaches to your hat brim (damage-free) — just hook the gold hexagonal clip around the strap/holder of your choosing!
The Fileist is a woman-owned small biz, formerly known as Lindsay Albanese.
Promising review: "So happy I discovered TOPTOTE! As a hat lover, this product is seriously a lifesaver! I never have to carry my hats now when traveling and its’ magnets are SO strong. I’ve used it to carry multiple hats on my travels with no problem! Definitely a purchase well worth it!" —Adrianna
Get it from The Fileist for $55 (also available in black/gold).
26. A mini lightweight flat iron that is the perfect size for traveling. Your hair will stay ~flawless~ and you won't lose a lot of luggage space. Becoming a travel pro is easier than you thought!
27. An external battery to keep your devices fully juiced on vacation. No, but seriously, this monster can bring your phone to full battery three times before the bank needs to be charged up again.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says: "I know external batteries are a snore and $31 seems like a lot compared to the cheap 'lipstick' ones, but I cannot recommend this battery enough. It can charge my phone a full three times, which is crucial for someone like me: a frequent-flying, Twitter-loving, podcast-downloading, battery-draining millennial who feels like they're drowning if their phone dies for one damn second."
Promising review: "On a recent trip to London and Paris, I took my newly purchased Anker charger. It not only charged my phone at least twice a day while I was out and about, but it charged a fellow traveler’s phone when she needed it. One of the best travel items I have ever bought. I’ll never go anywhere without it." —Maureen Mongan
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors).
28. And a six-USB-port wall charger so you and your travel buddies can charge your devices before you leave the hotel to explore! No more taking turns using the only two outlets in the room.
Promising reviews: "This is perfect for traveling. I can charge my Kindle, my phone, my hearing aids, my watch and my earbuds, and have one port left to spare." —Amazon Customer
"Anker builds good stuff. This is a great travel accessory for a family or groups. Some riding buddies of mine got together and 4 of us shared a motel room. Everyone wants to charge phones, helmet com units, watches, and whatever. Rather than fight over who gets to use the two USB plugs on the lamp or the 1 outlet by the door, drop this in and now you have 6 ports. Also useful in airport terminals when everyone wants to charge before the flight. It has the added benefit of knowing what you're plugging in to as it can be a security risk to plug your smart device into an unknown port. —Max L.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in white).
29. A mini-steamer for the clothes that inevitably got a little bit wrinkled in your suitcase. This is powerful enough to get the job done without being an inconvenience to travel with!
For more on why this particular one's great, read a BuzzFeed editor's mini steamer review. TL;DR: This steamer's incredibly useful: it heats up in about 90 seconds, steams about five garments before needing to be refilled, and is all around perfect for anyone who doesn't want to wait too long or work too hard to get the wrinkles out.
Promising review: "This steamer is very compact, easy to use, and well-made. I am a flight attendant so this has helped my life tremendously. I never even pick up an iron anymore. It works extremely well on my uniform and also just to get wrinkles out of my clothes while on layovers. The best part is that it doesn't take up too much space in my bag. I hate ironing with a passion, so I am so glad that I found this product!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (be sure to clip the $5 off coupon on the product page for this price).
30. A space-saving laundry bag that'll keep your dirty laundry separate from your clean clothes so things don't get stinky. Load it up and release any excess air to save room in your luggage.
Just stuff them in and squeeze to release the extra air!
Promising review: "As a frequent traveler, this bag has been great for packing dirty laundry on the return trip home. It will hold much more than I usually put in it and compresses nicely in the suitcase. I toss it in the washer along with the clothes, and it has held up for well over a year now." —CC
Get it from Amazon for $14.50 (also available in an airplane print).
31. And some odor eliminators you can toss in your luggage so any funky smells are dealt with before they become a problem. If you're taking a short trip or don't have room for separate laundry bags, these will def come in handy.
The charcoal bag has no smell and absorbs excess moisture to prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria from forming on your clothes and in your bag. You can use them for up to two years, but you should put them outside in the sun for an hour once a month so they can ~rejuvenate~.
Promising review: "These are the best travel buddies! I always pack one of these in my luggage and one in my boyfriend's. While traveling, we sometimes don't get to wash all our clothes, but these bags are brilliant at absorbing the smell of sweat on our clothes and shoes!" —J.L.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.90+ (also available in sets four and six).
32. A pack of laundry soap sheets if you just know there's an outfit you'll want to wear multiple times during your trip. You can also pack lighter knowing you'll be able to wash a few things, so there will be plenty of room for souvenirs!
Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops at 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 (also available as hand soap sheets!).
33. A sleep mask when you need to block out your surroundings to get some rest. It has contoured cups that won't put painful pressure on your eyes so you can enjoy a peaceful snooze until your plane lands.
Promising review: "I’ve been using this mask for over a week now, and I must say that it’s the best mask I’ve ever used yet. I have used a sleep mask every night for... probably the last nine years, and it’s the most comfortable one I’ve ever used. I love the strap. No Velcro to get caught in your hair! It’s got adjustable wide elastic that is soft and comfortable. Not the stiff stuff! The mask has nice memory foam in it which cushions your face when sleeping on your side. It has nice deep eye pockets so there is never any pressure on your eyes or eyelashes, which I love. Overall, this is the best mask I’ve ever had. It’s made so well; I feel pampered in it." —DePlume
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).
34. A travel wallet for a sensible and stylish way to carry important documents while keeping them nicely organized. Boarding pass? Check. Passport? Check. Credit cards? Check.
This RFID-blocking wallet has a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, a slim pocket, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a zippered coin pocket, a key holder, and a pen holder.
Promising review: "This wallet is durable, chic, and spacious. The lining is very soft and feels expensive. From the design to the material to the zippers and snaps, it's well made. I ordered it in rose gold, and it's a beautiful color. I travel frequently and love the boarding pass pocket. I recommended it to my sister and mom, who also love theirs! They ordered in yellow and bronze and were also happy with the color." —Brianna graham
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 39 colors).
35. A pack of homeopathic jet lag pills so you'll arrive at your destination ready to adventure! If you're facing long flights and changing time zones, you'll never want to travel without these little lifesavers again.
According to the instructions, you should take them at take-off, then every two hours, and then again once you arrive to help with relaxation and combat sleepiness.
Promising reviews: "I don't travel abroad without them. Between taking these, arriving to my destination in the late afternoon, and taking melatonin before sleeping, I have woken up on Day 1 ready to go with no lingering jet-lag feeling." —Audrey Schmedes
"This is THE best travel hack for jetlaggers like me! I arrived at my destination like I had flown first class, I was so fresh and energetic! I tried this for the first time three years ago on a 23-hour flight across 11 time zones, and I arrived fresh as a daisy. I walked the new city for 12 hours with not a hint of exhaustion or sleepiness! I cannot recommend this product more. Get it!" —Sherri S.
Get a 32-pack of pills from Amazon for $14.40.
36. A travel pill organizer because you shouldn't skip vitamins or meds on vacation! Or worse — carry them in a disorganized plastic baggy. Yikes! This has eight compartments and comes with sticky labels so you know what's what.
Promising review: "I take a daily medication and I like to keep vitamins, supplements, and emergency meds like fever reducer and upset stomach relief with me when I travel. This is compact, feels sturdy, and holds more than I anticipated." —hw65
Get it from Amazon for $5.47+ (available in three colors).
