1. A cosmetics bag so you can keep all of your favorite skincare and beauty products in one handy place while on the go. There are six super cute patterns to choose from, and an extra pocket in the front so you can have space for everything.
2. A compact cutlery set that'll allow you to enjoy meals from wherever, whether it’s a picnic on the beach or a quick bite to refuel during a hike. This set contains a fork, knife, and spoon, and you can choose between five carry-case colors. Dig in!
3. A shampoo bar to help you free up space in your luggage, cut down on your liquids, and, of course, keep your hair looking squeaky clean. It’s vegan, color safe, and will last as long as a 16-oz bottle so it’ll last you through many a vacay.
4. A Nikon camera so you can document all of your travels with high-quality photographs. Expert travelers know, the cellphone camera just isn't the same. This particular model is sleek and stylish and even has a flip-out screen which is perfect for taking selfies or making adventure vlogs.
5. An insulated water bottle because it’s super important to stay hydrated during your travels. This leak-proof bottle holds 32-oz liquids and reviewers rave that it keeps their water cold for HOURS!
6. An expandable hard-shell carry-on suitcase with four swivel wheels for ample storage and easy transporting. There’s even a built-in TSA lock so no worries if you forget your own, and zipper compartments to keep your things organized. It’s sturdy enough to go in the hold and small enough to fit in the overhead luggage bins, whatever you fancy!
7. A microfiber beach towel so you can stay clean and dry without having to think about the extra weight and drying time of a regular beach towel. This one’s made from a 100% cotton material and is super absorbent which means it will dry super quickly. The cute summer-ready pattern is a huge bonus, too.
8. A cushioned eye mask to block out the light and ensure *the* best night’s sleep, even if your travel companion wants to read or watch TV until the early hours. It’s soft and comfortable on your skin and the adjustable band will give the perfect fit.
9. An Apple Airtag that's basically your own personal lifesaver if your bag gets lost or stolen during transit. Simply pop it into a pocket or secure compartment and connect it to your iPhone so you have eyes on your luggage wherever it goes — from the plane hold right into your hand after landing.
10. A compact 2-in-1 travel iron and steamer so you can keep your clothes neat and wrinkle-free even after being crammed into a suitcase for hours. This is especially useful for notoriously bad packers (read: me) who just can’t seem to get the hang of folding up clothes properly.
11. A pair of noise-canceling earbuds for listening to your favorite tunes AND blocking out any noise from other passengers or travel roommates. They will last up to eight hours without charge so are great for long-haul travel and the built-in microphone will let you have clear conversations. Pro tip: use these to listen to Google Maps instructions so you look less like a clueless tourist on all your travels!
12. A set of packing cubes that will keep you incredibly organized and certain exactly where everything is in your luggage. This set comes with three different-sized cubes and the mesh panels will let you see what’s in them without having to unpack literally everything. You’ll never know how you lived your life without them.
13. A travel-friendly skincare set so you can keep your skin looking fresh and glowy, even after a six-hour+ flight. This set contains a primer, facial oil, balm, and a moisturizer for super-hydrated skin. Plus, each product contains calming CBD, which is IDEAL for traveling when things inevitably go wrong.
14. A luggage scale for those who have a tendency to overpack (guilty)! It'll help you measure the weight of your luggage so you can stay within the weight range for your airline's checked or carry-on luggage — and never have to go through the embarrassment of scrambling to repack at the airport ever again!
15. A perfume rollerball to keep you smelling Sweet Like Candy on the go, thanks to Ariana Grande. The rollerball design will make sure there are no accidental spills in your luggage and the fresh, fruity scent is perfect for both day and night.
16. A power bank because there’s nothing worse than a phone that’s run out of battery when you’re far away from home. This one has a compact design so it can easily fit in purses or pockets and the powerful battery means it’ll last for hours without having to recharge it.
17. A hotel guide perfect for those who love to travel to design-focused accommodations. Every hotel in the book is located in a popular university town and the aesthetics will bring back memories of classic college culture. *Breaks out old college sweater*
18. A pair of basic but brilliant sandals that will act as your shower shoes in hostels, beach transports in tropical places, and easy dinner shoes at casual restos. They do it all!
19. A pack of knee-high compression socks aka a must if you’re traveling on a long-haul flight. These will prevent swelling and improve blood flow and will also keep your feet warm as frequent flyers will know how chilly it can get on an airplane.
20. A mini first aid kit for those unexpected mishaps that are bound to happen when traveling a lot. It contains band-aids, pads, cleansers, and antibiotic ointments that will treat everything from small cuts to minor burns. It’s perhaps one of the most important things you can pack while traveling.
