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. A cruise-approved power strip that's non-surge AND has USB-C, USB, and three standard outlet plugs that'll charge up all your devices you could possibly need on the ship or during excursions. Cabin with one outlet? NBD.
Promising review: "I bought this for my cruise to the Bahamas. It worked perfectly, and we were able to charge our device and use all our hair tools without extension cords everywhere!! Great value for the money!" —Melissa Kendirck
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in six configurations).
2. A four-pack of towel bands can take up next to no room in your bag but still help you stake out your deck chair without your towel whipping around in the wind. They'll also come in handy at the beach, pool, resort, or wherever!
And as one reviewer points out, they'll make your chairs stand out in a sea of towel lookalikes.
Promising review: "Took these bands on a cruise. They kept the towel secured to the lounge chair even with gusts of wind. Others had clips, and the clips kept popping off. People asked where I got these and were impressed how sturdy they are." —KT
Get them from Amazon for $10.97+ (available in five colors).
3. An on-the-go Gillette razor that'll spare you some precious space in your bag without sacrificing quality.
It comes with one handle and one blade refill!
Promising review: "I bought these for a cruise last year. Cruise ship bathrooms are notoriously tiny, especially in the shower. Having a very short, comfortable handle made it extremely easy to shave in very tight quarters. The five blades made for a very close and smooth shave on my legs. All the better for island hopping! Seriously, I can honestly say that these are the best razors to do the job beautifully and comfortably that I've purchased in many, many years... Added bonus: ANY Venus razor can be mixed and/or matched with ANY Venus handle. So Experiment. Get your own Awesome combo... I've reordered three times and counting!" —CruisinTrkrs
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
4. A set of Sea Bands with a little nub that targets the acupuncture point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. This'll be great in case anyone gets motion sick in the car or on a boatride.
I bought these for my first-ever overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay last year just in case, but luckily didn't need them. They took up so little room in my luggage that I wasn't least bit upset. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Promising review: "I returned from an eight-day cruise. These bands worked so well and were so comfortable that I forgot I was wearing them. I’m a person who can’t ride in a car as a passenger without getting sick, and to be on the water eight days no sickness, I will keep a pair with me at all times!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53.
5. A pack of individually-wrapped ginger drops to stop nausea and seasickness in its tracks — without the doziness you might get from other remedies.
Tummydrops are a small biz.
I packed these drops a few years ago on a trip to Greece that entailed riding on two catamarans and three ferries. They turned out to work *quite well* given that I woke up the morning I was to get on a four-hour ferry ride at 2 p.m. with some serious nausea that I think is because I ate SO MUCH FETA CHEESE at dinner the night before. Truly too much of a good thing! I guzzled Sprite and loaded up on bread at lunch, and then sucked on three of these drops during the ferry ride and started to feel much better! I used them on several boat trips, including a catamaran ride where I thought I was gonna meet my maker the first 20 minutes due to rocky waters. ("Book a sailboat instead!" they said. "Catamaran or nothing!" we said.) And other people on the trip used the drops to help quell their tummy troubles too!
Promising review: "Ginger tummy drops were a real lifesaver. I’d read that ginger tummy drops were a good natural remedy for motion sickness. I took them on my recent vacation, and they didn’t disappoint. Car, air, cruise ship, speedboat, catamaran, tested. I highly recommend." —marcie jallali
Get a bag of 30 individually wrapped drops from Amazon for $10.44.
6. An aromatherapy anti-nausea inhaler you can easily slip into your pocket or bag for when your stomach is feeling a little iffy.
Basic Vigor is a small biz. Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins.
Promising review: "We purchased these for our honeymoon cruise, and they saved us on so many days! Whether we had a headache or were feeling a little queasy from the boat, keeping this little guy in my purse was a pro tip I will be telling all future cruisers. Plus, it smells amazing." —Madison
Get two from Amazon for $11.99.
7. A fanny pack with a ton of storage room inside that has a long enough strap to wear crossbody *or* comfortably fit over outerwear for some hands-free adventures. And in case it looks familiar, TikTokers compare it to the Lulu waist bag. Plus, it's cute enough to wear for fashion and you can pack one fewer bag as a result.
I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy, and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip, and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors.
Promising review: "My wife got this for our cruise, but she loves it for every day as well. It's the perfect size, fits a ton without looking overstuffed, and super comfy." —Levi J.
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in 31 styles).
8. A pair of lanyard ID holders with waterproof, detachable pouches so you can easily pay for stuff onboard or slip your badge into your pocket in case the nautical look doesn't jibe with your formal dinner attire.
Promising review: "Does the job you would want it to do. It also detaches if you need to hand your card to a waiter/waitress which is very convenient. The lanyard is a very comfortable material too." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $10.99 (available in 12 designs).
9. Some Royal Caribbean–specific luggage tag holders to help protect and keep your luggage tags dry as your suitcases travel with you.
Promising review: "I bought these for our recent cruise after seeing a recommendation. I’m glad we did. I felt much more comfortable about our bags making it to our cabin using these protectors (a co-worker recently had her bags not show up, possibly because her paper tags got ripped off in transit). I like that they come with metal cables to attach to my bags and the plastic covers are very solid with metal rings that won’t rip." —Richard Woolf
Get four from Amazon for $12.99.
10. Tide sink packets with the perfect amount of detergent for a sink wash to help lighten your clothing load. Plus! These'll easily slide into the toiletries bag that you thought had no. more. room.
Each pack comes with three packets. And, because they *are* liquid, they'll easily slide into the side of your toiletries bag. I've packed these on international trips to much success!
Promising review: "Perfect for carry on (best way to travel) and can have the comfort of clean clothes as often as you like. Went on a two-week cruise with only a carry on and it was PERFECT. I washed a few garments every night and ALWAYS had clean clothes. I would spray with Downy Wrinkle Releaser and was ready to go." —LBerroa
Get nine packs from Amazon for $6.56.
11. Or a pack of laundry soap sheets you won't have to slip into your toiletries bag if you're flying. This way you can save more room for souvenirs than three changes of underwear for every day of your trip.
I travel just about any chance that I get and found a WHOLE lot of success with these little laundry sheets on an almost-three-weeks European vacation this summer where I carried on only and rewore outfits several times.
Promising review: "Perfect for travel. About the size of dental floss. I used it when I went on a river cruise and was very happy. The tiny sheets of detergent are perfect to wash out one or two small items. Just make sure your hands are dry when you take one out or they will stick together." —Wayne Flewelling
Get it from Amazon for $7.19+ (available in four other styles, including hand soap and shampoo).
12. Pedialyte powder packets because there's nothing like a day spent exploring instead of worrying about hydrating yourself to completely wear you out on your bucket-list vacation. And IDK about you, but I have a harder time reminding myself to drink water when I'm not at home. These efficiently help keep me hydrated and going when I travel. And they're much tastier than electrolyte tablets you dilute in water.
~Trust me~ when I tell you that these will work in a pinch. I bought them a few years ago to take on a bachelorette party to New Orleans, and everyone in the Airbnb was grateful I did. Since then, I always pack them on a vacation whether it's a go-go-go adventure or just sitting on a beach and downing some tropical drinks. On recent trips I've taken to drinking one in the morning when I wake up and one before I go to bed...that is if I can remember to do it. I swear by these and think they're why I'm able to do some marathon adventuring and just be normal tired after (and not dehydrated tired).
Promising review: "Necessary for cruising! Took these on a wedding cruise to Mexico. Between being active physically in the heat and drinking a ton of alcohol, these were perfect and so helpful to prevent dehydration and hangovers! #adulting" —Angelee Gens
Get a 24-count from Amazon for $25.59.
13. Or a set of Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier packets, an electrolyte drink mix infused with potassium and vitamin C you can stir into a bottle of water to help speed up your hydration.So this is a great preventative measure. (I also personally love these for travel and hangovers, and hangovers while you're traveling.)
Psst — it's also gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free!
Promising review: "This stuff seriously works. Took on a five-day cruise when we had the unlimited drink package, and these Liquid I.V.s saved my life several times. Wouldn’t have made it to dinner/gotten off the ship the next morning without them." —Laura Bales
Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $23.45 (also available in sugar-free flavors).
14. A waterproof pouch that I buy for every water-adjacent vacation (so mostly warm-weather trips like Croatia and Greece). But! As soon as I booked my flight for Iceland, I bought one of these to take along to The Blue Lagoon. It survived rain, hail, and all kinds of steam rising off the water. Suffice to say, it'll work GREAT for cruising.
It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It also keeps out sand, dirt, and rain.
With these, I find that they're good for about a day due to condensation. So for a trip I'll buy 2–3, except for this one where I just knew I'd be in the water at The Blue Lagoon. And while I'm on the subject, check out a TikTok I made using the phone case! On the day I went, we had to duck and run inside because of rain. And it was hailing on us when I was in the water, so I head to face a certain way to keep from getting pelted in the face. But, when in Rome! Then we went inside and at lunch at the Lava Restaurant and it was GORGEOUS and clear outside post-lunch. So this case worked well taking pics in both bad and good conditions (as you can see from the two pics for comparison). I've used this case to take underwater pics, on boat rides, and have worn it with the lanyard jumping off a boat into water. So I really trust these!
Promising review: "Bought this to carry around my phone on a recent cruise for water-related activities. Although I never did get it completely submerged, it did get splashed on and I felt comfortable that my phone was protected. I also took a bunch of pictures from the camera while the phone was inside, and they came out just fine! You couldn't even tell it was inside the case!" —Midster158
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 15 colors).
15. A set of six Cadence containers that are magnetized and'll stick together in your toiletries bag AND on your metal cruise ship bathroom walls. They're super sturdy, leak-proof, and even work great for a few days' worth of vitamins or holding small jewelry. They've quickly become one of my packing go-tos.
Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon as a way to eliminate single-use travel-sized plastics. The containers are made from recycled ocean-bound plastic.
But I'm not the only fan on the BuzzFeed Shopping team. My co-worker Abby Kass has these and loves them! Here's what she has to say about them: "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: "Perfect for airline travel! Even better for the magnetic walls on cruising." —Casey E
Get a set of six from Cadence for $76 (originally $84; also available in sets with various-sized containers).
16. An anti-theft neck wallet that's also RFID-blocking so you can more easily navigate your ship excursions without having to keep your hands hovering over your pockets the entire time. Pickpockets exist, and you've gotta be aware of 'em, but let's focus on taking in the sights.
17. Some motion-sickness patches seem to work better for a slew of reviewers than other past solutions that have side effects. They're waterproof *and* effective for up to 72 hours.
Promising review: "Just got off a cruise. So thankful for these. Worked great. I’ve used the prescription patches in the past and had the side effects of dry mouth and enlarged pupils. No side effects at all. Couldn’t even tell I was using them other than no illness from rough seas. Will definitely never go anywhere without these again. Ended up sharing with other passengers." —Jacqueline Stobbs
Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $5.99.
18. Anti–motion sickness earplugs made for both adults and kids that reviewers say are more comfortable to sleep in than other motion-sickness blockers.
Promising review: "I get motion sickness very easily. I wear an electric pulse band, which is great but at night it makes it hard to sleep. I decided to use the earplugs at night and it seemed to really help. They were comfortable and I could sleep with them in without issue. I still had some motion issues, but our cabin was right at the front of the ship. Don't do that!" —S. Beck
Get them from Amazon for $17.99.
19. A portable handheld fan for those moments when the breeze takes a break. Oh, and it's also a power bank *and* flashlight. So you'll be sure to find all sorts of other uses for it.
Check out a TikTok of the portable fan in action.
Promising review: "Bought this for myself to have during a cruise, and boy did it come in handy! I could have sold it many times while waiting in line to board ship! Ended up buying three more as gifts!" —Mrs. RRR
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
20. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense can stop chafing caused by sweat before it even starts. It's sooo good and better than any other competitor in the thigh-saving category. Toss this in your bag and apply before you go on that long, lovely beach stroll.
My former colleague Ciera Velarde is a huge fan! (As am I!) Here's what she has to say:
"I've used it for about 12 years now and it's the only thing that I can trust to prevent that dreaded chafing after a sweaty day of walking around. It glides on perfectly, it's unscented, and it doesn't melt away when you start to sweat. If it's a particularly hot day out, it can start to fade after a few hours, so just make sure to bring it with you to reapply. In addition to preventing chafing between my thighs, I've also applied it on my arms where my sports bra rubs against them when I run and it works like a charm!"
Promising review: "Used this on our cruise, for all the walking in hot, humid places. Literally saved my thighs from 'chub rub.'" —Traci Carpenter
Get it from Amazon for $6.
21. A Burt's Bees sunburn soother because sometimes the family WILL get burnt from some fun in the sun — even if you've been on VERY strict sunscreen patrol. Its aloe vera and coconut oil formula is super gentle on skin while helping relieve pain, redness, and swelling.
Promising review: "I was so super skeptical about this product. I am not a frequent user of this brand either. I read some good reviews so I went ahead and bought it ahead of a family cruise. I am so glad I did. I burnt my own shoulders and forehead on day one. When I made it back to my room, I could feel the pain setting in. I immediately applied this. Within a few hours, I could feel relief. I did apply it several times over the course of my vacation. I would recommend this product to anyone, and I will keep it in stock. Better than aloe gel." —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $13.66.
22. A portable safe for securing to a pool chair to keep your valuables safe or to keep your passport in your cabin in case there's no safe or the safe isn't working.
After putting this in MANY travel stories, I bought one for myself for a summer European vacation where I found myself at several beach clubs. It was perfect for keeping mine and my friend's belongings safe while we dozed in our beach chairs or swam in the sea. Plus, it's the perfect size to hold phones or wallets, and easily carry in your beach or tote bag. It's come in clutch in a few hotels and Airbnbs that didn't have working safes.
Promising review: "Loveeeee this safe! Took it on a cruise, and it was such a great feeling of security. I put all my cash and docs in it while around and off the ship in the larger room safe. In my case, I had a roommate I did not know prior to sailing. With this, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Easy to lock and unlock. Easy to secure around things. I just love it! I will be using it with other things at home/work as well." —Cara Sievers
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors).
23. A pair of quick-dry water shoes to help you traverse nearly every kind of ground you may come upon — whether it's while zip lining, walking along a rocky beach, or just walking around the ship deck.
Promising review: "Purchased three pairs for our cruise. We all loved them. Best water shoes I’ve ever worn. Feels like you are barefoot but keeps your feet safe from anything you step on. Very comfortable! Highly recommended!" —Donna M
Get it from Amazon for $8.68+ (available in seven sizes and 44 colors).
24. A set of DEET-free handy mosquito-repelling bracelets in case the thought of putting something else on your skin besides SPF (like smelly bug repellent) sounds like a total nightmare.
Cliganic is a small biz specializing in health and wellness products. Check out a TikTok of the mosquito-repelling bracelets in action.
Promising review: "I bought this to take on a cruise. Never had issues with bites. Once back home I put them on my son who is allergic to some bites and always itchy after time outdoors. Since he’s had these on outside it’s hardly an issue anymore. Very cool." —MardiGrasGirl
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $8.49.
25. A chic tank and wide-leg pants set that'll make you look like a fancy jet setter while you're on a personal mission to try every single kind of cocktail on your all-inclusive cruise.
26. A packable floppy hat with a wide brim that'll provide some extra shade from those harsh rays on deck and also on excursions.
Promising review: "Packed this into a suitcase, and it came out great. Used it a lot on shore excursions off the cruise ship. Needed it as the sun was intense. Well made, good looking. Brim not outrageously large." —Deborah Baker
Get it from Amazon for $24.69+ (available in sizes M–XL and in eight colors).
27. A CarryAround foldable cup holder you'll think you're a dang genius for buying (and you'd be right) after you easily carry back four beers from the snack bar in one hand. It'd also be smart to pack this for your next all-inclusive vacation.
Check out a TikTok of the drink holder in action.
Promising review: "I bought this to use on a cruise. I had such an easy time carrying my drinks around. So many people asked where I purchased it from." —Jasmine
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in multipacks).
28. A wide-mouth water bottle that'll pack flat *or* roll up super small when empty. Reviewers say it worked well for water-filling stations on board cruises. (Psst, don't expect to get free water bottles on your cruise.)
Promising review: "I’m not one to write many reviews, but this one is one I decided was worth it. I purchased two of these for a cruise. They were great packing because they lay flat and take up hardly any space. I have purchased the silicon travel bottles, but they have a funky taste/smell to them, so I don’t really care for them. These were so much better!! I was able to easily clip them to my purse strap while we were in ports, and it was still lightweight enough! I highly recommend!" —JDeal
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 20 colors).
29. A Hairbrella that'll easily fold up and be ready for those days when you look like you have GREAT weather. Then, all of a sudden the sky opens up and starts pouring, ruining your perfect hair day.
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: "My mom wore hers to Niagara Falls and sent me a ton of pictures. It's moisture-proof exterior was perfect for her sightseeing cruise!" —Amazon Customer
"Would definitely buy again. It worked wonderfully." —Latrice B.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors).
30. A compact eight-compartment pill organizer so you'll have space for all the stuff you take from all the delicious food from the all-you-can-eat buffets that sometimes makes you feel bad on your travels. Plus! As one TikToker points out, you can use any empty compartments to store your earrings.
Promising review: "I purchased this to take with me on a 5-day cruise. It was perfect. It held all of my vitamins and supplements, our sea sickness pills, my husband's allergy pills, my son's lactase pills, and some ibuprofen just in case. It was easy to load and easy to access the different pills when needed. It looks adorable and fits easily into my backpack. It also comes with three in different colors. My guess is that over time the plastic insert which divides the pills may break, so you will have two more ready to go. I highly recommend, and really enjoyed using." —Amy B
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.97.
31. A pocket-sized, refillable travel perfume atomizer you simply pump on your normal size perfume bottle to keep you smelling like your signature scent while you're on the go. Yes, I paid all that dough for a Le Labo but no I won't pay more dough for their (still v pricey) travel bottles. If you like to bring along more than one scent, this is also a great buy!
^ 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: "This is such a great invention! It’s super easy to fill and use. I used mine when on a cruise, and it was perfect!" —Destiny H
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.99.
32. A portable charger for your phone that you can also wrap your Apple Watch around to charge. Portable chargers can bulk up and weigh down your day bag and personal items so you might as well find one that can at least pull double duty.
Check out a TikTok featuring this charger.
Promising review: "I got this for my cruise. This was super convenient, charges fast, and I love that at night, I can charge my phone and Apple watch at the same time. Worth every penny." —Yanna
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four colors).
33. A powerful portable power bank charger can help you get lots more videos of your kids frolicking in the sand or touring a medieval castle...because you shouldn't be beholden to your cruise outlets for documenting your family fun.
Promising review: "I bought this for nine-day cruise, and now will never travel any kind of distance without it! This thing charges as fast as a wall charger, and I can usually get three full battery charges out if it on my Galaxy S7." —Andrew W
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
34. A 2-in-1 straightener and curling iron because you won't leave home without them but detest how much space they take up in a carry-on.
Promising review: "I took this on the cruise ship, and it was amazing. Exactly what I needed." —Peggy knopp
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
35. A universal travel adapter so you always have a way to juice up your devices or use your US-friendly plugged item in a different outlet. You can plug up to five devices in this at a time...and it covers 160 countries! This'll especially be welcome if your itinerary includes stops in a few different countries.
But remember that this is not a voltage converter!
Promising review: "I bought two of these to take on a European cruise and also to have in Europe. We had two staterooms, so they worked perfectly and gave us four USB plugs for all our devices and an extra plug on the outside. Even if we had just gone to Europe, this was super helpful!! LOVED it!!" —Parenting 3
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in two colors).
36. An electronics organizer with a place for just about every one of *your* and every member of your family's devices and corresponding cables so you don't get everything tangled up while searching for that ONE cord.
Promising review: "I've had this cord/charger organizer for three years. Been on several vacations, and it's going on another cruise (#3) next month. Not paying attention to anything negative, since I have nothing bad to say." —VB54
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes).
37. A CurlCap backless adjustable cap with plenty of room for your natural hair or updos while giving your face some extra shade while you chill on deck.
CurlCap is a Black-owned apparel company founded by Britney Sade that specializes in caps designed for natural hair with an open back and flexible scrunchie design.
Promising review: "The hat is a great value and color. It runs a little large. I wish it were adjustable. I remedied that issue by using bobby pins in the back. This prevented the hat from flying away or moving. My hair hid the bobby pins. I used the hat at the beach and on a cruise without it flying away or slipping off. I will order other colors. It is great for natural hairstyles." —S
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 11 styles).
38. A pack of collapsible pails that'll take up a little way less space in your suitcase for the very important task of building sand castles. Have you ever bought a sand bucket at a tourist shop? Yikes.
39. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers to pair with your body sunscreen so there's someone besides you and your pal who're wading in the waves to remind you that, uh, yes, you do need to reapply! Oh and they last for 12 hours. Once a sticker turns colors, it's time to reapply.
Check out a TikTok of the sunscreen stickers in action.
Promising review: "Didn't know how often I needed to apply sunscreen until I wore one of the patches, but I'll tell you, they work! I went on a cruise and didn't burn once! They turn purple when you need to re-apply." —C. Leggett
Get two 16-counts from Amazon for $25.99+ (also available as a 48-count).
40. Waterproof Uno cards to withstand some tense games at the beach, pool, lake, boat, wherever! What a great option for when everyone gets tired out from beach games and come under the umbrella for some respite from the sun.
41. A sand-free beach blanket made so sand will roll right off of it. Plus it's big enough to help you lay claim to a good amount of beach space for you and your pals. (Up to four adults!) It packs up pretty small so it's easy to throw in your excursions day bag.
42. A set of mesh "sea shell collecting" bags with adjustable straps so everyone can go on a very efficient seashell-collecting mission with minimal sand carted back home. And because it's mesh, you can hose down the bag and what's inside before taking home.
