1. A waterproof toiletry bag designed to hold tons of stuff — it has four compartments so you can pack all your travel-size items. There's also a handy hook for hanging it up in hotels!
Promising review: "I. Love. This. Bag. Seriously, I had a cheap toiletry bag from Target that essentially did the same thing, only way worse. It was too small; the hook didn't rotate so you could only hang it at an angle, if anything ever leaked; it would seep right through the bag, etc. But THIS bag has NONE of those issues! It fits everything I need and then some, meaning I don't have to skimp on my 10-step Korean skincare routine when I travel anymore. It never leaks. And I love that the hook swivels so you can hang it anywhere, and your stuff hangs perfectly. I also love the handle and the overall flatter shape. It makes it so easy to travel with! Cannot recommend this bag enough." —KaiEli
Get it from Amazon for $23.49+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).
2. And a set of TSA-approved silicone travel bottles that'll have your essential toiletries ready for flight in no time. It also comes with spray bottles and jars for storing other products, like lotions and perfumes.
These BPA-free bottles feature a leakproof design so you won't have to worry about messy spills. Each silicone bottle also has the capacity printed on it for TSA purposes! 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 $9.99+ (available in four colors).
3. A set of packing cubes so efficient, you'll wonder how you ever traveled without 'em. If a lack of space is your main issue, these will save the day. Clothes will stay neatly folded (or rolled) and you'll free up some room in your luggage.
Each set comes with a small, medium, large, and extra-large cube, a shoe bag, a laundry bag, a toiletry bag, and an accessory bag.
Promising review: "I have been on the fence about buying packing cubes for two years! I wasn’t sure if they would really make a difference in my packing or not. However, I am so glad I decided to get some! I have looked at many brands but I am happy I decided on this one! These are made from a great material and are super cute! This is one of the few brands that include both a shoe bag and a dirty linen bag! ... I was actually able to close my luggage with ease for the first time. These keep your clothes clean and organized. It makes packing and unpacking a breeze." —Cindy Underwood
Get a set of six from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in 13 colors).
4. A compact pill organizer because you shouldn't skip vitamins or meds on vacation! Or worse, carry them in a flimsy plastic baggy. Yikes! This has eight compartments and comes with sticky labels so you know what's what.
Promising review: "My husband and I travel a lot and take a number of prescription drugs. It was always a hassle accessing our medication when needed, so I purchased this organizer to make things easier. I used a label maker and labeled each little compartment and it has performed wonderfully. I highly recommend this organizer to anyone who travels and needs medications throughout the day." —Jacqueline
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.78+ (available in two color combos).
5. A set of top-rated wireless *and* waterproof Bluetooth earbuds if AirPods have never worked for you. These come with a few different silicone tips to help you find the best fit. It's no wonder they have over 230,000 5-star reviews for being both comfy and affordable.
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 45 hours of total playtime (with the earbuds able to play for 10+ hours on a single charge!).
I was one of those people still walking around with a cord dangling from my ears because I could never find a wireless pair that worked for me. Enter these life-changing earbuds! I tried all the different silicone ear tips included and got *the* perfect fit. I use them for both listening to music/podcasts and talking on the phone. The sound quality is amazing and I have to charge these MAYBE once a week depending on how much I use them. I'm never going back to AirPods... or dangly wires.
Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wish list. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port, so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing, and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Kate Arnold
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors).
6. A natural, plastic-free solid shampoo bar — sometimes you just want to travel with fewer bottles in your bag! This bar won't take up much room and is less likely to cause a mess.
Promising review: "AMAZING! Buy it now! When I turned 30, suddenly my hair became super greasy at the base of my head. No matter what I did, nothing took the grease out. And then along came this shampoo bar. In just a single wash, the grease was gone and my hair was visibly healthier and touchably soft. It's a small bar, but it will last a long time. I've had it for a month and it still looks like I took it out of the box yesterday. Like any bar soap, you need to store it properly so it won't dry out and crumble (like you saw happen in some of the negative reviews). You can prevent this by spending $3 at Walmart on a soap-saving sponge, they come in a pack of two. *PRO TIP* while doing research I found that if you follow with an apple cider vinegar spray the results are even better. And it's true." —M.A.
Get it from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in 10 varieties).
7. A bendy travel pillow made of memory foam to relieve pressure so you can *actually* relax on your trip. Even cramped window seat flights will be more enjoyable with this thing. Plus, the snap closure allows you to easily attach it to your bag!
Promising review: "I bought this for when I fly. The best part is you can shape this how you want. I’ve only used it once so far, but it was exactly what I wanted. If the cushion is directly behind your neck, as opposed to the side (and the snap behind you), it can push your head a little forward. However, move it to where the snap is on the back of your neck and problem solved. I’d buy it again." —Eric M.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors).
8. A mighty convenient collapsible leakproof water bottle that'll save you plenty of space in your suitcase/carry-on bag/personal item! You shouldn't sacrifice hydration just to save room in your bag.
Promising review: "I just bought this bottle and I’m already obsessed. I even ordered four more to bring with me on vacation and share with my family. I love how easily it folds back up and it doesn’t leak at all. I just wish it came in more colors and can’t wait to show everyone my cool new bottle!" —Brittany
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in multiple styles, colors, and sets).
9. And if you can't survive without caffeine, a collapsible coffee cup so you can get your fix without bringing your enormous reusable cup from home. This is much easier to travel with!
It's also microwave-safe! Note that the 12-ounce size does not include a straw, but both the 16-ounce and 24-ounce sizes do.
Stojo is a small biz founded by three New York dads who wanted a better way to get their convenient coffee fix without all the waste. Now they make stylish collapsible essentials in a variety of sizes and colors, including bottles and food storage containers.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Danielle Healy has this and loves it. She says: "This is of the first zero-waste swaps I made and I've never looked back. If you buy to-go coffee – whether you're jet-setting or just grabbing a mid-day pick-me-up — this cup is a must-have. So long as you remember to bring it, it's all the convenience of to-go coffee with none of the waste. It's leakproof and, when you're all done, it collapses down teeny tiny and can be tossed back in your bag. Oh! And it comes with a straw, so all you iced coffee lovers can get in on the action, too."
Promising review: "I've been using it now for almost three weeks and I love the durability and how compact it really is. I tested out if it leaks by adding water almost to filling point and then turned it upside down and no leaks. I even shook it a couple of times and nothing. If you travel a lot or are considering it, this is your go to. Lightweight, compact, durable. This brand is definitely on my top five." —Sunny
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in four sizes and in 24 colors).
10. An in-flight phone mount when you want to binge your fave shows *without* straining your neck to look down at the screen. Attach it to your seat-back tray (or any other surface) and watch your comfort movie to help pass the time.
Check out a TikTok of the in-flight phone mount in action!
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).
11. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter for connecting your AirPods (or any other wireless earbuds) to the inflight entertainment system. Get ready to kiss those poor-quality airline headphones goodbye.
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! It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual.
See one TikTok user using it in tandem with their AirPod Pros here.
Promising review: "Just returned from a European vacation and this little device worked like a charm! The sound cancellation worked really well on that horribly long 14-hour flight and I could hear the movie perfectly. Just buy it, it's a must have (until airlines convert their stuff to Bluetooth, don't hold your breath)." —Just a Muggle Mom
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (also available in two other styles and in black).
12. Portable soap sheets you'll be *extra* thankful for when you're on a trip and encounter one of those public restrooms without a drop of soap available to wash your hands. Problem solved!
Promising review: "Love this product. Provides great suds as any handful of soap would. This is excellent for travel, especially in public bathrooms that don’t always guarantee soap. Discreet and great for places where you might not want to touch the dispenser. A lot comes in one container. Gave some packets away to my family." —Kerry-Ann Archibald1
Get a six-pack (300 sheets!) from Amazon for $7.99 (available in various multipacks).
13. A foldable travel mirror if you've lost all faith in hotel mirrors. It has three light colors *and* adjustable brightness settings, so you'll get THE perf lighting to slay your makeup look.
It has three light settings (white light, warm light, and natural light) for your beauty routine. Just gently tap the switch on the screen to change brightness levels. Need to charge it? No worries, because it comes with a USB cable too.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: "I have been looking for something like this for so long. TikTok helped me find it and it’s exactly as what’s shown! The different light settings are all great, they are all bright, sturdy mirror/stands up well with no issues, good quality, not too big and not too small. Great for travel and everyday use. I’m 10/10 happy with this purchase!" —Chloe
Get it from Amazon for $21.60+ (available in five colors).
14. A sleep mask to help block out your surroundings in that overly bright hotel so you can rest undisturbed. It has contoured cups that won't put pressure on your eyes so you'll enjoy a much-needed peaceful snooze.
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 $21.99+ (available in seven colors).
15. And a portable white-noise machine that'll provide you with a serene sleep environment, which will make it easier to catch some Zs. It's *def* worth the small amount of space it'll take up in your suitcase.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first about how well this little noise machine would work in my hotel room (I am a frequent business traveler). However, skepticism gave way to satisfaction. This little sound machine blocked out hotel noises very well and helped me sleep through the night. For a little machine, it provides very good volume and different noise options. I highly recommend this product!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25.28.
16. A portable door lock, aka an absolute game changer for solo travelers who are all about prioritizing their safety. It's a breeze to install and remove, it fits most doors, and it's small enough to toss in your bag.
FYI, this may occasionally be flagged by TSA. You can also check out this portable door alarm with a sleeker design.
Promising review: "My apartment door has a deadbolt but no lock on the door handle. The latch is also misplaced, so if it’s not dead bolted anyone can just push my door open. Took a few tries to get this right but makes me feel much more secure, and it’s easy to use when you get the hang of it! I also take this with me when traveling, as it fits almost all doors. Definitely recommend; thanks TikTok for showing this to me." —Anna
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in multipacks).
17. Some magnetic Cadence containers for storing toiletries and other essentials you can't travel without. These compact leakproof cuties can be used for bath products, pills, small jewelry items, etc., and they'll always stick together.
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."
Promising review: "I will be traveling with just a carry-on for 11 days and was a bit concerned about my liquids until I found Cadence. These honeycomb-shaped pieces snap together to waste no space and organize with ease. The shape makes it easier for my older hands to open and the thick sides will not burst under pressure. The color and tile combinations help to quickly recognize what product I'm looking for." —Gena H.
Get a set of six from Cadence for $84 (available in six colors and many customizable labels).
18. A pocket-sized, refillable travel perfume atomizer because you shouldn't have to leave your fave scent behind while traveling the world. All you have to do is pump it on your full-size perfume bottle to fill it up!
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 $7.99.
19. A six-USB-port wall charger to ensure you and your travel buddies can charge all your devices before you leave the hotel for a day of exploring! 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 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 into 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 (available in colors black and white).
20. Plus, a portable charger if you're constantly worried about your battery dying on vacation. This will help keep your devices 100% juiced! No, but seriously, this monster can hold around five full charges for your phone. It has two USB ports, so you can charge two devices at once.
Promising review: "This is honestly the nicest power bank I’ve ever owned. Its design is stunning, the tiny texture provides a nice feeling holding it, and it’s one of the quicker 20,000 mAh chargers (receiving and delivering power). I love that it accepts USB-C charging and that it has two out ports. I bought it because I love attending music festivals and needed the extra battery life, which this is perfect for!" –Andrew
Get it from Amazon for $27.19+ (available in colors black and white).
21. An adventure-friendly fanny pack because sometimes you want to travel light without leaving the essentials behind. There's even a hidden pocket on the backside to keep your valuables safe! This could easily fit in a carry-on bag OR you could bring it as your personal item if you don't want to lug a giant purse through the airport.
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
Get it from Amazon for $13.77+ (available in two sizes and several colors/styles).
22. A convenient Alleyoop Pen Pal that'll save space when packing your nearly-exploding makeup bag. It's a 4-in-1 lip liner, eyeliner, brow pencil, and highlighter, so you'll have everything you need in one sleek pen.
It's cruelty- and paraben-free and it's vegan. Plus, the packaging is recyclable!
Alleyoop is a woman-owned small biz that is focused on redefining beauty efficiency. Many of their products are compact and have multiple uses!
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jasmin Sandal loves this thing: "I didn't realize I'd ever use a makeup product in my twenties 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. I gotta say, I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! 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 touch-ups 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: "This is genius. I’ve been doing a lot of traveling and I like to keep my packing to a minimum. Not only is this convenient and travel friendly, but the color payoff is fantastic!" —Stefanie S.
Get it from Alleyoop or Amazon for $20 (available in three shades).
23. A shoe bag when you want to store a few pairs of shoes in your luggage *without* getting all your clean clothes dirty. The bag is designed to fit at least three pairs, but some reviewers say they were able to fit up to five!
Promising review: "You can totally fit three pairs of shoes in this! (Size 6.5 female shoe, fit heels, wedges, and sandals.) I bought two and will absolutely be buying more for my husband. 10/10 would recommend! I travel frequently, and I always overpack; this helped cut down space and stress immensely!" —Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in nine colors/patterns).
24. A small jewelry case with enough space for 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 $24.99 (available in 13 colors).
25. A waterproof Kindle Paperwhite so you can keep up with your obsessive reading habit while you're on vacation. Most importantly, you won't have to pack a heavy stack of physical books. And that glare-free screen? Beachside reading session here you come!
Promising review: "After buying my Kindle, I read 18 books in one month (most 500–800 pages each). It is convenient, easy to use, and the battery can last up to a few weeks depending on how much you're using it. I absolutely love my Kindle and consider it to be one of my best purchases because it significantly increased my reading. I love that I can read in bed with the lights off, making my Kindle dim enough that it won't bother my husband while he's trying to sleep." —Taylor Rose
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available with or without ads and in two storage sizes).
Check out our full review of the Kindle Paperwhite here.
26. A satin-lined Hairbrella to ensure you're prepared for a torrential downpour at any given moment. It's small enough to fold up and carry in your bag and it'll protect your hair from rain, wind, snow, humidity, etc.
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect hair from all kinds of weather since 2016.
Promising review: "I traveled to London last month with a raincoat that did not have a hood, and I wanted something that would protect my head/hair/blowout without lugging an umbrella. This definitely did the trick. Two of the three days were rainy (some quite heavy) and my hair stayed totally dry. It stows nicely, too. I'm still learning how to adjust it while it's on my head (easier to adjust first and then put it on). Also, when I do have it tightened/pulled to the right place, the loop/slack from where I adjusted it sort of sticks out and gets in my peripheral vision. I wish the adjustment/clasp was less prominent. But, all in all, this is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their blowout fresh in the rain." —Miss Information
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in one size and seven colors).
27. A Migrastil roll-on stick for a quick fix when a headache hits and you need that sweet, immediate relief while traveling. It contains spearmint, peppermint, and lavender oils to help soothe the pain associated with migraines.
Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins.
Promising review: "Years ago a massage therapist I went to used a cream at my temples that helped greatly with headaches and nausea. I have tried to find that scent for years. THIS IS IT!! I use it daily on my temples and the back of neck just below my hairline. It helps 100% with the nausea I suffer from meds I take. Many of my headaches I can prevent from going to a migraine by applying again at start of headache. I take so many meds because of autoimmune diseases that I like not having to pop another pill for my headaches. I am the most skeptical person you will find when it comes to homeopathic or oils etc., but this works!!" —DVS
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.

28. A slim travel cable organizer if you're so very tired of untangling your knotted cords after you just spent most of the day on a plane. It has two pocketed compartments to keep chargers, cords, and other gadgets properly organized.
Promising review: "This case has been amazing for storing my earbuds, various loose cable connectors, chargers, etc. I am using it right now on a trip and it has been fantastic for keeping these items in one convenient, organized place. It is lightweight and fits easily into my one carry-on item when boarding the many flights I am taking. I’m pretty sure I will still be using it to keep all these items together and more easy to locate when I return home! I am so glad I bought this!" —V. Elia
Get it from Amazon for $9.84+ (available in two sizes and 21colors/styles).
29. Flushable toilet seat covers because your bum shouldn't bear the unthinkable — a germ-infested public toilet seat. Why aren't these standard issue in ALL public restrooms? Now you'll be prepared!
30. A set of travel games to entertain the kids in the car or on a flight. It contains six dry-erase game boards, including classics like Hangman and Tic-Tac-Toe! It also comes with two markers and a carrying pouch for on-the-go storage.
Based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Jonley Gifts is a small biz you should check out for home decor, personalized items, and cheeky T-shirts.
Promising review: "My kids enjoyed this so much. It was a great distraction during our layovers! Very well made and will be enjoyed for quite some time!" —Johanna Manbeck
Get it from Jonley Gifts on Etsy for $27.
31. A 2-in-1 travel blanket and pillow so you can enjoy the best of both worlds! It supports your head as a pillow *and* as a blanket when things get chilly. The best part? It has a genius pass-through handle that slips on your luggage for easy carrying.
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
Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in six colors).
32. And a waterproof Pocket Blanket that can magically fold up into a tiny square that literally fits in the palm of your hand! You'll love taking this on flights but it's also great for adventures around your hometown. The tethered corner stakes ensure it'll stay put no matter how windy it is.
Matador is a small business that creates innovative, durable, and long-lasting travel and outdoor products, and in fact, the Pocket Blanket was the first product they ever created.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde says: "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-sized. 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 Matador for $34 (available in three colors).
