Promising review: "Purchased as a gift for Christmas. The receiver said she had been looking everywhere for a rose gold passport wallet and couldn't find anything to her liking, but this was exactly what she wanted. Soft and well made, it's ready to travel with her around the world." —Brittany North

Promising review: "After reading a glowing review by a frequent international flyer, I decided the twistable travel pillow was exactly what my husband needed. That traveler returned from an overseas trip and immediately purchased his second one for his lumbar region. So I bought two upfront, but not for air travel. My husband has osteoporosis with an overly curved upper back. It is uncomfortable for him to sit for long periods, even in his recliner. Well, many snores later, he decided these were the perfect solution! That evening I placed one behind my neck, just to test it out. Apparently, I had no idea how uncomfortable it actually was just sitting. My neck never had it so good! So I used the lumbar one as well. Felt like I was floating in the chair. I have shown them to everyone. A physical therapist friend went gaga over the concept, and plans to give them as gifts this year." —SMB

Promising review: "What a beautiful book! I originally intended for this to be more of a research tool to help me decide future travel adventures. However, upon receipt, it's way more high-quality and beautiful than I was expecting. Now I don't want it to get beat up and am contemplating displaying it instead, lol! Just want to make sure everyone keeps their grimy hands off! Also, it came with a map that displayed where the top 100 places were located, which I wasn't aware was included. Neat surprise." —Nikki

Promising review: "Long travel day from SLC to the Netherlands! I bought these for the first day of travel. I loved having new socks and was very happy with the fit, comfort, and support. I could have spent a lot more on these socks. Great value and a great fitting compression sock. Will be getting more as gifts for fellow travelers." —Amazon Customer

This set of water-resistant bags is perfect for the traveler who always overpacks. By using them, they'll be able to separate, organize, and store all their things within their regular suitcase, preventing their clothes from being crushed during the journey. It also comes with a laundry bag so they can separate their dirty clothes from their clean clothes.
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

Promising review: "I used it for an 18-hour flight and it worked great. That being said, you have to find the sweet spot when wrapping it around your neck. If you just slap it on, it won’t be in the proper position and won’t give you the support you need. First get the upper edge area aligned comfortably with your jaw bone (this area is where your chin will be resting while asleep) then while holding in place with one hand, relax your neck/head like you're sleeping, at this point wrap the fleece around and lock into place. Find the right tightness for your comfort — super snug didn’t work for me, so mine was more relaxed. I would alternate between sides depending on the angle I wanted my head at. I wore it when awake as a scarf because it was chilly on the plane. My friend used it as neck support in a place we were staying by just placing it on the bed. I used it for a phone prop to watch videos and a neck support to read my book while laying down. It has become a surprisingly universal tool for me and I have no regrets about purchasing it." —B. Everson

Promising review: "I really like this journal. It's exactly what I envisioned it to be when ordering. The leather is very nice and the color (brown) I ordered is a very nice shade. I bought this to sketch some small maps in and write my thoughts/ideas. It serves that purpose while also feeling like a very old and special captain's journal. The seller has the front of the journal branded with their name engraved — a medium-sized engraving on the front bottom-right corner. This journal is wonderful quality and even allows for replacing pages or adding new ones of your own to an extent. Highly recommended." —Cedar

Promising review: "I hate packing — I mean, I really hate packing! I am always afraid I am going to forget something and the entire ordeal is a stressful one for me. Since I have to travel a lot, this is a game-changer for me. No more guessing if I forgot my underwear — everything I need is on this list. I am thinking of just keeping one bag totally packed, filled with the items on the list, and just add my suit in when I am ready to travel. :)" —Dr. Oceanfront

Promising review: "I travel often for work, and it’s so much easier to pack a few Pocket Palettes than tote my regular makeup — they’re super carry-on bag/airport-friendly! I love my Lancôme but I’d much rather not tote around heavy glass bottles, so I keep a palette at the ready for the gym, in my purse, at my desk at work, etc. — they’re that convenient. For the makeup itself, the quality of the BB cream is great. It’s light, feels and looks natural, you can get at least two full uses out of the quantity. The lip/cheek color amount is also generous. I personally go for a darker lip generally, but this is good for blush and will last me a while. I love how handy the mascara applicator is, so fun-sized. For someone on the go, who isn't soooo makeup savvy that I'm contouring all the time, this product is really practical!" —Maureen

Promising review: "This is a great little bag for traveling. I bought one for makeup and one for my jewelry. I can open it up and view the contents very easily. It takes up very little space and opens so that you are not searching for that one particular item. Everything is in plain view. Highly recommend it!" —Debra J.

Promising review: "Great backpack for travel. I can comfortably fit my 15" laptop, water bottle, a small pair of flat shoes, a course reader, and a bunch of other little things (agenda, iPad, journal, pens, pencils, iPhone.) Really an awesome backpack that looks professional, clean, and holds a LOT. I use it for my frequent travel (airplane) and it fits perfectly under the seat." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have been using this book as a resource for planning travel. Ms. Schultz has some great, out of the way spots that I would never have known to even look for! I've taken several trips in the past couple years that when I looked at this guide, I missed some stuff that I really would have enjoyed if I'd known about it." —cathasnine

Promising review: "These work amazingly well. I was surprised that you can charge and use them at the same time. I use them on planes to listen to the in-flight entertainment with my AirPods. I also use them to listen to music on my laptop with my AirPods. They work really well. Now, I don't have to carry my wired earbuds with me when I travel anymore. They really work as advertised. I have not had any issues with them since I started using them." —RPL
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three options).
Promising review: "Apple hit a home run with these, I wanted the original AirPods but couldn't get them to fit in my ear. I have tried other true wireless earbuds and never liked the look or fit of them. With the AirPods Pro, Apple has answered my prayers, and they're even better than I could have imagined. The sound cancellation is LEGIT. The sound quality is very good for me. I'm by no means an audiophile but I'm a little picky as far as this goes and I'm more than pleased. The ability to switch from noise-canceling to transparency mode is awesome as well." —TCC

Promising review: "One of the best purchases I have ever made. Seriously. I have an iPhone 6 Plus, and it attaches onto the mount very firmly. The mount also attaches firmly into my air vent. No jiggling or slipping. I can touch, swipe, etc., on my phone screen without any risk of the phone falling or sliding." —Susie

Promising review: "This is my new go-to travel wallet! It has slots for everything you need. The color is great and it's not bulky. If it had more than three credit card slots I would use it as my everyday wallet because that's how much I love it. My pen kept falling out so I would suggest using a pen that has a clip in it. The inside flap came in handy for my plane boarding passes." —Tee

Promising review: "Got these as gifts for my amazing bridesmaids. The quality was very nice! It's a really pretty shade of pink and the material feels much more expensive than it actually is! It's compact so it's very travel-friendly but it has just enough compartments." —EJ
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in six colors).
Promising review: "As silly of a purchase as I thought this was, I will never again fly without it! I hooked it around the tray table in front of me and was even able to shut the tray table once attached. It makes flying so much more comfortable!!!" —Dishy24

Promising review: "This luggage scale is so convenient, lightweight, and easy to use. I no longer worry about my bag being overweight and having to rearrange my packing in the middle of the airport. The times I've used this, I make sure my bag is two pounds under the weight limit and have never had an issue!" —Sadie

Promising review: "This bag is a necessity for a trip to Europe! The material is really nice, it looks and feels great, and it held up really well for my trip! I kept my passport in the inside zip compartment of the main pocket, important items in the main compartment, water in one outside side pocket, and anti-bacterial wipes in the other. The best part is that the backpack becomes a shoulder bag, needed for when tourist attractions don’t allow a bag on your back (Buckingham Palace). Also one day I had to walk a bit in the rain and my contents stayed dry! I felt very safe and secure with my items in this bag! I want every color!" —JESSICA MARO

Promising review: "The best thing for traveling ever!! I have to have espresso every morning and most small hotels and gas stations don't have espresso coffee so this is perfect! Easy to use. The cleaning takes 30 seconds, just rinse with water and let it dry." —joanna alvarez

Promising review: "No more tangled headphone cables! I bought a pair for my desk at home, and I'm purchasing another pair for my office. I love how neat and untangled my earbud cords are when using this organizer. It's leather, which I'm sure will last many, many years for such a great price." —Jane M

Promising review: "I just got back from a long trip to a country on the other side of the world. I used this eye mask and it worked AMAZINGLY. I can't say enough good things about it!! It is incredibly soft and lightweight. The adjustable strap allows for a looser fit that doesn't put too much pressure on the eyes/forehead. I'm very glad I picked this one because of the softness and comfort." —Scott Wilt

Promising review: "Oh, the places we've been! I love this shadow box! It is well made, cute, and is going to look nice on the wall. I put stuff in it immediately and my boyfriend thinks it is already full! Might have to buy another one! I think this is a great way to display evidence of all the places we have gone to and remember all the adventures. We are not big on souvenirs or tour T-shirts so this a different and compact alternative." —Maureen

Promising review: "I saw a candle scented 'Books' and just had to try it. First off, it smells like a library of leatherbound books lacking some of that 'old paper' smell, with a cherry orchard in full bloom just outside the open windows. Which is not a BAD thing. I got several odd looks from the other people in my house when I produced this and lit it, with much fanfare. But ALL of us decided we liked it, and that it was a neat, novel scent. Tastes are individual but read the description — if it sounds appealing to you, chances are very good you will like it too. We all did!" —Owen Murray
Get it from Amazon for $29.10 (available in 12 scents).
Promising review: "I'm a lazy person, and I've lost all patience in bending over to tie and untie my shoes. I almost exclusively buy slip-on shoes now, but I still had one pair that had laces and they took forever to tie. It probably took me 10 minutes to put the Xpand laces on, between lacing them up and tightening/loosening them to the right fit before clipping the ends. Now they look great, and I can wear those shoes at the airport without having to hold up security lines. I also appreciate that there are so many colors to choose from." —Ashley

Promising review: "I cannot believe it! Every once in a while you buy something that actually lives up to its promises! This super-soft little face towel takes off makeup, including stubborn eye makeup, in a couple of swipes without scrubbing at all. I don't know what makes it so effective; maybe it's made of millions of tiny little hands! but I am very impressed." —Donna Montalbano

Promising review: "This is such a lovely French phrasebook and is conveniently categorized by subject for easy perusal. I was surprised with how small the book itself is — it would easily fit in a purse or large pocket! I spent the following few days after receiving it mispronouncing French phrases to the utter bewilderment of my dog." —ESBarrett

Promising review: "I got this necklace to give as a gift but it is so cute that I kept it for myself. The charm is dainty and delicate, and I have received tons of compliments. It is the perfect thing to wear when you just want a little something to add some sparkle — cute packaging and well made." —Jack

Promising review: "This was perfect for my trip to Italy! Italy is big on pickpockets, so this was perfect to prevent any theft and it was super fashionable. The sizing was perfect since I have a small waist as well. Excellent purchase! I used it for the entire trip, matched with my brown sandals too." —Mikela

Promising review: "We bought these to take with us on a trip to Disney World. I was paranoid about having enough phone battery to last through a long day. It quickly charged my two phones and left plenty of extra juice to share with our other family members. It weighs about as much as an egg, so it was barely noticeable in my pocket. I can't recommend this enough!" —J. Palmer

Promising review: "I'm not a techie or gamer, so this is just your average person's review. I love these because they are completely around the ear (your ear ends up in a little soft house), comfortable for my bigger-than-average head. I can wear them over my large plastic-framed glasses without issue, the controls on the side are great. They are mic-wireless and speaker-wireless, easy to set up with both PCs and Macs (I am using them across several devices at home and at work), rechargeable (no more need for constantly consumed batteries), and there is no sound leakage. For the money, these headphones are AWESOME! I'm seriously glad that I purchased them." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "We purchased two of these for our trip abroad and I have only one thing to say about it — it was the best purchase we made for the trip. They flattened down and fit into our backpack just fine. The minute we made it through the TSA checkpoint, we filled it up. It holds quite a bit of liquid, so we didn't have to fill up every five minutes during the trip like with some smaller-capacity bottles." —Sheryl

Promising review: "I travel two times a week on five- to six-hour trips. I am always cold. This cashmere is fantastic. I use the pouch sometimes by my neck as well. The pouch allows me to cram the throw into my large tote and it does not get caught or damaged." —MJCSeattle
Get it from Amazon for $169 (available in eight colors).
Promising review: "I bought this bag for a trip I recently took and am extremely pleased with it. The versatility of being reversible (dark to light) was a plus, getting two for the price of one. It is soft and supple and holds a ton of stuff! My 13' laptop/tablet fit perfectly and there was still room for a lot of other travel stuff. The magnet that holds the flaps together was strong, too. I would definitely purchase this product again and will use it on future trips!" —D. Webb

Promising review: "I am an avid coffee lover. I travel for work each week, and finding a good cup of coffee to start my morning can be quite a challenge (and can come with hefty prices). This little device tucks right into my bag and takes up very little space. I like a strong cup of coffee, so I let mine set a bit after pouring the water. Cleanup is quick and easy. AND, there's a bonus with this dripper — I use it in the evening for my loose tea. Two devices in one!" —Brenda Henderson
