We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter so you (and a buddy) can actually use your Bluetooth earbuds to watch those free in-flight movies.
2. A digital travel scale if you're tired of playing souvenir musical chairs with your luggage to avoid paying pesky baggage fees. This scale is super accurate, easy-to-use, and tiny enough to pack with ease.
3. A set of TSA-approved squeeze bottles because it's time to stop spending a small fortune on name-brand travel-sized products and just make your own. These are totally leak-proof and can be washed and reused again, and again, and again.
4. A Trtl neck pillow that'll actually support your neck while you try to catch some mid-flight Z's. It's way less bulky than traditional travel pillows and will keep you from head bobbing onto your neighbor's shoulder.
5. Or a hypoallergenic tie-on travel pillow with unparalleled adjustability for a comfortable upright sleep even if you lost out on the coveted window seat.
6. A waterproof toiletry bag to make packing your entire 12-step Korean skincare routine a breeze. Plus, it's equipped with a rotating hook so you can hang it on the back of a door or in the shower for convenient access.
7. Or a transparent toiletry bag so can quit tossing all your toiletries in a big plastic bag to avoid getting stopped by TSA. This reusable option is a lot more durable and will give you "Gosh, I hope my serum doesn't leak all over my clothes" peace of mind.
8. A mini white noise machine if sleeping on vacation is not your forté. It's teeny-tiny but will drown out big city noises and even doubles as a Bluetooth speaker for playing your favorite tunes on the go.
9. Plus, a contoured sleep mask because the bright light of this random kid's iPad is making it *very* difficult to sleep through the flight. The concave shape effectively blocks out light, and the adjustable strap helps you get a comfy, customized fit.
10. A genius magnetic luggage tag that doubles as a hat clip so you can finally bring your favorite wide-brimmed beauty on vacay without a) packing it and crushing it, or b) committing to wearing it/holding it.
11. An in-flight phone mount for a hands-free way to watch all those episodes of Queer Eye you downloaded for the flight. It can also mount on your luggage for long (aka boring) layovers, too.
12. An in-flight foot hammock to make kicking back in the flight cabin a whole lot easier. It easily mounts onto the seat tray, and not only ups that economy seat comfort, but can also reduce in-flight foot swelling.
13. A lay-flat drawstring makeup organizer so you can stop dumping the full contents of your makeup bag out on the hotel room floor whenever you need to find that one shade of lipstick you just know for certain you packed.
14. A leak-proof collapsible water bottle if you love proper hydration, but hate having a clunky empty bottle eat up valuable bag space.
15. Plus, an ingenious collapsible coffee cup because early mornings at the airport demand coffee, but a thermos is definitely not going to fit into your overstuffed carry-on. Here is your convenient and Earth-friendly solution.
16. A stretchy travel clothesline with suction cups that'll make drying wet bathing suits and stinky socks in your hotel room shower a breeze. You don't even need clothespins — just hang the clothes between the braided cords.
17. A compact external battery for keeping all of your many essential devices charged during long travel days. One charge of this battery can charge your phone roughly three times. No more huddling by the single terminal outlet for you!
18. A nylon anti-theft rucksack to avoid wasting space in your suitcase with extra bags. This ultra-versatile style can be worn like a backpack or shoulder bag, so when it's done being your airport personal item it can be a stylish purse for dinner.
19. A trusty stain-removing pen so you can tackle stains the minute they occur instead of wasting precious vacation time fretting that your favorite blouse is ruined.
20. A wedge doorstop alarm if you want a bit of added security at unfamiliar Airbnbs and hotels. Not only does it block unwanted intruders from opening the door, but it sets off a (very) loud continuous alarm.
21. A waterproof pouch because you can't resist taking your phone on those wet 'n' wild adventures. You might as well skip the low-grade panic and give yourself peace of mind that your tech is protected.
22. A hands-free luggage drink caddy that'll finally make it possible to handle your luggage, look up your digital boarding pass, *and* carry your iced coffee at the same time.
23. A pair of compression socks for anyone whose feet, ankles, or legs tend to swell up on long flights. These cozy socks can help prevent that, and double as another thermal layer (planes be cold).
24. Some all-natural toothpaste tablets so you can skip packing goopy tubes that can leak, and instead opt for a mess- and plastic-free alternative. Just pop a pre-portioned tablet in your mouth, wet your toothbrush, and scrub your way to a clean mouth.
25. A tri-fold travel wallet to keep everything (and I mean everything) on-hand and organized as your run to catch your flight. Money, cards, boarding passes, passport — you name it — all protected with RFID-blocking tech.
26. A roll-on blister-preventing balm if your upcoming trip involves a lot of walking and painful blisters are *not* on the itinerary.
27. A set of travel compression cubes because you've committed to packing light, and that means packing a week's worth of clothing into a carry-on. Plus, it keeps everything super organized, so you don't have to ruin your gorgeous pack job looking for a sleep shirt.
28. A pack of moldable silicone earplugs that'll help block out the noise of that crying baby three rows back, or your travel companion's loud snoring.
29. A pair comfortable yet durable cotton twill joggers for doing just about everything in — flying, sleeping, hiking, cycling — and looking good while you do.
30. A teeny tiny first aid kit to fulfill your role as the prepared mom friend without eating up a quarter of your luggage space with medical supplies.
31. An all-in-one universal wall adaptor so you can quit wasting money buying individual adaptors for every new country you travel to and just get one that can do it all, no matter where you roam.
32. A powerful little steam iron if you have a zero-tolerance policy for wrinkly fits, even after your clothes have been shoved in a suitcase for 12+ hours.
33. A versatile everything top that can be worn not one, not two, but FIVE different ways. Packing light, meet your perfect match.
Get ready for your best trip yet!
