1. A Trtl neck pillow because you can finally rest in a plane seat without feeling uncomfortable. Unlike other travel pillows, this cozy cocoon is adjustable, gently wraps around your neck, and prevents your head from bobbing side-to-side. Plus, it's space-saving, lightweight, and attaches to any luggage handle.
Ciera Velarde, a BuzzFeed editor, swears by this comfy pillow and said: "I've used this for the past few years and swear by it! Before this, I always found traditional neck pillows uncomfortable and would end up ditching them halfway through the flight and getting frustrated. The Trtl pillow is adjustable — you wrap the pillow around your neck and secure it with Velcro, and if you find it's too loose, just make it a bit tighter! I've truly never slept better on a plane than with this pillow."
Promising review: "Used it for a 14-hour flight to Japan last week, and it helped tremendously. This was the first time I was able to sleep on the plane so this helped tremendously. Definitely a must have for travel. It is very light so I was able to easily pack it in my under-the-seat wheeled trolley. I want to emphasize how much the light warmth of the fleece (and I don't like being hot) was just right to help me nod off to sleep. Since this is primarily for sitting upright in the seat or someone in the middle or the aisle seat, this was ideal for me. I just got back yesterday. Again I used it — this time a 12-hour flight." —Ambience
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors).
2. An RFID-blocking travel wallet that'll hold your passport, IDs, credit cards, cash, and boarding tickets in a safe place. You won't have to worry about holding up the line at security because everything you need will be organized and ready to take out.
The wallet comes with a boarding pass compartment, a passport compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, a ticket slot, a slim pocket, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, a key holder, and a place to put your pen.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this wallet. I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess. It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen, which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing. I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" —Anthony Luu
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 34 colors).
3. Or this smaller travel card holder with designated spots for your passport and vaccination card. It'll easily fit in your carry-on bag and be accessible if you need them at an airport security checkpoint.
Henneys Boutique is a small business that sells travel accessories, including vaccine card holders, passport holders, and wallets.
Promising review: "Perfect protective holder for my vaccine card and soon to have passport. And in my favorite color - purple! I bought a second one for someone else and I’m sure they’ll love it too!" —Etsy Customer
Get it from Henneys Boutique on Etsy for $8.25 (available in 13 colors).
4. An acupressure anti-nausea wristband for bouts of morning or motion sickness that inconveniently pop up on vacation. 😒 It exerts a little pressure on the P6 acupressure point, which is said to help alleviate nausea and vomiting. Slip one on your wrist whenever you're feeling a bit queasy.
Reviewers swear by these non-medicated bands for nausea relief: they've used them while traveling on airplanes, boats, and cars and for morning sickness during pregnancies.
Promising reviews: "I bought these for an upcoming cruise, but thought I would try them out when flying (as I tend to get motion sickness even after taking Dramamine). I was very surprised that I had no motion sickness after wearing these on two different work trips. I also took these on a cruise and only had to use them once. Once I felt the motion sickness coming on, I put on the bands and the sickness was gone in about 15 minutes. They came in a nice plastic case and are reusable." —Jessica
"I have had major 'morning' sickness all day for the last two and and half weeks at the beginning of a pregnancy. I was hesitant to buy these bands, but willing to try anything. I have only been wearing them for a day (non-stop except for bed time/shower time) and I can DEFINITELY tell a difference. My nausea has gone from a 10 to a 2. I will warn—I have small wrists and these are snug. They maybe snug but so far, worth it. For the price, I highly recommend for at least the try!!" —KD
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.59+ (also available in a two-pack).
5. A "Pack this!" checklist that'll help you get ready for a trip *and* keep track of what you're bringing. It organizes items by category (basics, clothes, hygiene, and miscellaneous), so you can check off essentials as you put them in a backpack, carry-on, or suitcase.
Promising review: "I hate making lists trying to figure out what I need, and this is PERFECT for trying to figure that out. It has a lot more on the checklist than I would ever take on a trip, but it does accommodate for every kind a trip, from a simple vacation across state lines, to a business trip, to a wedding halfway around the world. I'm pretty pleased!" —Alyssa Kauffman
Get it from Amazon for $7.
6. A pair of soft joggers because you'll be so comfy while you travel through the airport, board a flight, and sit in a plane seat for hours. They have an elastic waistband, are made with a lightweight fabric, and come in lots of colors for easy dressing.
Promising review: "Super-soft, stretchy, opaque pants. These are now my go-to comfy pants, and I've even worn them on long flights to not have to deal with a belt through the metal detector. The fabric is smooth on both sides, so hopefully they won't pill like fleece does. The ONLY downside is that I wish the pockets were deeper." —Velvet
Get them from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and multiple colors and styles).
7. A genius backpack that's not your typical carryall, because it comes with cool features like a main compartment that fully unzips, a laptop sleeve, zippered pouches that'll easily fit toiletries, a roomy main compartment for four to five outfits, compression straps, and a trolley passthrough (a thick strap that loops around your suitcase handle) to make luggage transport a breeze.
Béis is a woman-owned travel accessories brand founded by actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell. You'll find carry-on rollers, weekender bags, packing cubes, and more practical goods for your next trip!
BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart owns this backpack and said: "I just bought this bag for a five-day cross-country road trip and it came in so clutch. First, I flew with it and was able to stow it under my seat so not only did I not have to check a bag, but I didn't even have to deal with overhead storage. Then, it traveled through 10+ states and various hotels with me. My absolute favorite parts of the bag are the compression straps and the fact that it fully unzips. This makes it *SO* easy to pack, unpack, and take through airport security. I was able to fit ~four pairs of leggings, four T-shirts, two sets of pajamas, two pairs of shorts, two bathing suits, a sweatshirt, a week's worth of undergarments, travel toiletries, an iPad, my wallet, and more odds and ends."
Get it from Béis for $78 (also available in black).
8. Or a nylon anti-theft backpack with a hidden storage compartment and versatile design. It has plenty of room for tech devices and snacks, and keeps them concealed thanks to zipper access from the back. You can also wear it two ways: as a backpack *or* shoulder bag, thanks to comfy straps.
Promising review: "A must-have for traveling! This backpack is lightweight, has multiple pockets on the inside and outside for small items, and was so awesome for an eight-day vacation to Hawaii! Felt safe with my items in it and it was a great small personal item on the plane. Highly recommend!" —Marianne :]
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors).
9. A Bluetooth-enabled mask so you can listen to music and drift off to dreamland before takeoff. It helps block light from electronics and comes with built-in headphones. Spare yourself from packing a separate sleeping mask and earbuds and bring this gem on your next plane ride.
BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart loves this travel essential and said: "After a bout of pandemic-induced insomnia I picked up one of these USB-chargeable masks and can honestly say it was LIFE-changing. If you're sensitive to light or sound, this mask is where it's at. The contoured, cool-to-the-touch eye pads are super cozy and extra padding on the bridge of the nose ensures no light seeps in. I was concerned about feeling the headphones through the mask and not being able to sleep in my usual position (mountain climber, the hands down comfiest position), but they really are unnoticeable. I can sleep through the night with it on and the Velcro straps have never once gotten stuck in my hair. The battery also lasts for a full 10 hours, so I don't have to worry about my audio going out right as I'm dozing off."
Get it from Amazon for $17.28.
10. A digital luggage scale because it can easily weigh your suitcase to make sure it doesn't go over the limit. This handy gadget fits in a bag or pocket, so you can pull it out and check your luggage on the spot. You'll be relieved you didn't have to pay an overweight baggage fee at the airport.
Promising review: "This luggage scale is so handy and is great for weighing your luggage. I was a little concerned before I got it because I wasn't sure how accurate it would be. When I used it when I went on vacation, it was dead on to what the airport said, so I highly recommend this. Plus, it’s easy to pack in your bags." —Teresa Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in packs of one or two and four colors).
11. A TSA-approved, toiletry carry-on that'll help you get through airport security without having plastic bag issues. It's transparent, easy to open during the inspection process, and securely holds chargers and toiletries.
Promising review: "This thing truly packs a punch. I could fit everything I needed for an overnight hotel stay plus seven-day cruise to the Caribbean. Passed through TSA checkpoints without any problem, too. The sturdy build and tough zipper make this a quality toiletry pouch. Very happy with my purchase!" —Orange Blossom
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in eight colors).
12. And a hanging toiletry bag with so much room for all your beauty and grooming essentials. It has four compartments that'll hold anything from brushes to large lotion bottles. You'll love packing everything up in this compact storage solution that'll take up minimal space in a suitcase.
Promising review: "Seriously?! Do you see how much this holds?! Full shampoo bottles, face washes, hair brush...everything I could need or want to bring, FITS IN THIS ONE BAG! And it’s so cute! Feels like great quality too — all the hardware came with protective wraps to keep from scratching and the zippers feel very hardy. The hook at the top is also VERY WELL SECURED to the bag, it’s double stitched to the top panel, and almost feels like seatbelt material. And I love the extra pockets and netting inside. I would absolutely recommend this!" —mahea_c
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in seven colors).
13. A mini lightweight flat iron because you'll get smooth, salon-worthy hair on the go without using a bulky hot tool. If you need to touch-up your strands at a rest stop or hotel room, you'll be glad to have this portable essential on hand.
It also comes with a heat-resistant pouch for easy carrying!
Promising review: "I got this nice little and compact hair straightener for my trip to the beach. It is small and lightweight. Perfect for a trip. It heats up really fast, with in seconds it is very hot. It comes with a pouch to tuck it away in. You do need to move slowly through your hair because the heated part is small but it does a good job. I made a little video to show how nice it is. Also I like the comfort of the design to hold it. Fits nicely in my hand. Not heavy like the bigger bulkier ones are. I took my time and shopped around for a travel one. I think this will be good to use every day. It doesn’t take up much space either." —Connie Cunningham
Get it from Amazon for $17.57.
14. And a heat-resistant silicone mat so your hair styling tools can cool down, even if you're in a rush packing everything up. Wrap it around a curling iron, flat iron, or blow dryer, place them in your carry-on, and you can get going without having to wait.
Promising review: "This is great for travel! I love that I no longer have to wait for my straightener to cool down all the way when we are traveling. Now, I can let it cool a little then wrap it up and pack it away, saving me tons of time. I love that it has the slit to keep the cover on the iron. I also like to rest the straightener on it any time I use it to protect our marble countertops. Definitely recommend it!" —IDesign
Get it from Amazon for $10.95.
15. A Dagne Dover carryall duffle bag because it'll seamlessly fit under an airplane seat and still fit a good amount of clothes, toiletries, and tech accessories. If you're looking for a weekender that's a little more stylish than a backpack but not as bulky as a rolling carry-on, this chic accessory will be perf for bringing all your stuff!
Promising review: "Love this bag so much! It’s the perfect size and has so many organization compartments. It also feels super sturdy and is made with high quality materials. Have already taken it on so many weekend trips. Worth every penny!" —Dagne Dover Customer
Emma McAnaw, an editor here at BuzzFeed, also loves this travel duffel and said: "I use this every time I travel — and I never, I mean NEVER, check bags. I even took this with me to Amsterdam and easily packed about four sweaters, DOC MARTENS, and all my undies and toiletries. To be fair I wore the same pants for four days (I am cheap, guys), but I never felt like I needed more space. And yes — even Spirit lets me take this."
Get it from Dagne Dover for $110+ (available in five sizes and colors).
Check out Emma's full review in "8 Things You Should Buy Because Your Closet Is Hungry" (it's #2).
16. A portable UV sterilizer that'll be so helpful if you're traveling with little ones and don't feel like bringing a million anti-bacterial wipes. It's compact and helps remove 99.99% of bacteria and viruses from bottle nipples, pacifiers, and teethers. Clip it to the side of your carry-on or diaper bag for easy access.
This gadget works with a USB wall socket (it comes with a USB cable) *or* three AA batteries if you'll be using it on the go.
Promising review: "This product is cheap and it is so great to know those germs are being sterilized! I struggled with anxiety over my NB catching illness amidst all the viruses of today. This product gave me peace of mind. It does come with a travel band to attach to your diaper bag, but honestly, it’s a bit too bulky for all that. I just put it inside the bag instead." —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available with or without a rechargeable battery).
17. Leakproof travel capsules for anyone who needs to bring lil' essentials on their next trip. These small, TSA-compliant vessels securely hold face creams, dainty jewelry, and vitamins and they have a cool, colorful design. They're also magnetic, so they'll stay together in a cosmetics bag or suitcase compartment.
Cadence is a woman-owned small business specializing in personal care travel solutions. Each mini capsule is created from recycled ocean-bound plastic and is refillable and reusable!
BuzzFeed writer Jasmin Sandal uses these travel capsules and said: "I love my little containers that allow me to downsize but still carry my necessities while I'm traveling. They're not only cute to look at but they're pretty practical. I have used mine to store my vitamins, earrings, face cream and have not run into any issues. They have tight, screw-on tops so you know everything is secure *and* you can customize their labels so you know exactly what's in what. Oh, and the fact that they're magnetic? Genius. This way, they stay tightly together in your case or can be conveniently stored in a makeup bag."
Get a set of six from Cadence for $74 (originally $84; available in individual capsules, bundles of three or six, and six colors).
18. Or a Palette refillable container that'll hold your skincare goods and make it easy to travel with them through the airport: its five trays can carry anything from cleansers to serums and they have screw-on lids that will stay shut and not leak all over luggage.
Bek O'Connell, an editor here at BuzzFeed, loves this and said: "I have a pretty strict skincare routine, which involves way more bottles of product than I care to divulge. The majority of them don't come in travel size, so flying with my skincare routine safely stowed has always been a challenge. This Palette has been a total lifesaver! It has five trays with screw-on lids so I can pack a cleanser, toner, serum, eye serum, and moisturizer all in one place. Each little pod can hold .17 ounces of liquid. The bottoms squish up so it's easy to access all the product. It's made in the USA with recycled plastic and sustainable packaging so it's worth the kinda splurgy price tag IMO."
Get it from Palette for $39.
19. A lightweight raincoat because you can pack it right into your pocket (or suitcase) if you're dealing with iffy weather. It's breathable (buh-bye, sweat) and waterproof, so you'll stay dry during unexpected rain showers.
Promising review: "This Columbia windbreaker is perfect for me. I wore it as a top layer on a trip to Iceland. Iit couldn't have performed better. Waterproof enough to suit my needs during rainy weather (but not necessarily a downpour). Deep, zipper pockets are a bonus. I wear it spring thru autumn in Wisconsin, plus it is a staple when I travel; packs small and light. My only complaint is velcro closings are not my favorite, but that's just personal preference. I ordered a size larger than my usual to provide for plenty of layering room." —C. Baltus
BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart also adores this raincoat! She said: "I bought this rain coat — in my go-to color: black — to use on a trip to the Peruvian Amazon and it came in super clutch! First off it did a great job of keeping me dry from rainforest showers, but it also took up like no room in my bag which was key since I had to bring so many random ~outdoorsy~ things that I wouldn't normally. I appreciate that the hood zips on/off, that there are adjustable drawcords at the neck and waist, and, ofc, that it packs up so tiny. If you're headed anywhere rainy, it's an invaluable accessory!"
Get it from Amazon for $34.37+ (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 39 colors).
20. A buckled luggage strap so you don't have to carry your jacket and neck pillow while you wheel a big suitcase. Clip this little helper on a handle, attach your belongings to it, and give your hands a break. It also works great for smaller travel bags, including backpacks and carry-ons.
Promising review: "I love this little gadget. I used it to attach my jacket and computer bag to my luggage on an extended business trip. It made my airport walks so much easier. Now that I'm back home, I've been using it daily to attach my jacket or cardigan to my work bag or purse." —Michele
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in four colors).
21. Or a stylish and durable travel belt that'll securely attach a large tote to your suitcase handle and keep it in place while you move through the airport. It'll be so nice to not have to stop, readjust your bags, and worry about anything falling out if you're already pressed for time.
Cincha Travel is a small business based in Oakland, California that designs adjustable vegan leather travel belts. The brand, which is run by a BIPOC couple, donates 100 airline miles for each purchased travel belt to help reunite migrant families.
Promising review: "Such a simple yet brilliant solution for the ever falling bag when trying to juggle all your luggage. It definitely made traveling less stressful." —Samantha
Get it from Cincha for $40 (available in 14 colors).
22. A bar (or two) of solid shampoo because you're done spilling bottles of liquid shampoo in your carry-on OR not having enough room in your carry-on for shower essentials. Bring them (and solid conditioners) on your next vacay to save room and cut back on single-use plastics.
Promising review: "I was definitely skeptical about a bar shampoo and conditioner, but I travel a lot and really wanted to cut down the use of plastic products as much as possible. I honestly am in love! I got the Heali Kiwi shampoo bar and the Wonderbar conditioner, as well as one of their eco-friendly bamboo and sugar cane storage containers, and my very long, fine oily hair, which I do have to wash daily looks and feels great. I recommend anyone on the fence to definitely give it a try! It works! So wonderful for travel too!" —M.A.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 12 varieties and 2-packs).
23. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter so you can watch movies and TV shows with your wireless earbuds on flights. Plug it into the seat TV screen, connect your earbuds, and you'll be good to go. No more packing flimsy headphones or having to pay extra for a pair while you're on board.
Traveling with a family member or friend? They can also sync their earbuds to this gadget!
Promising review: "Ever since I purchased my wireless Bose earbuds, I always hated having to use another set when I was on an airplane with the seat-back entertainment system. I tried many different models to connect the system to my Bluetooth headsets until I came across this one, and it is amazing! It seamlessly connects to my headset, very clear and reliable audio, and it takes the stress away from having to carry multiple headsets! Thank you!!!" —Ryan Malloy
Get it from Amazon for $54.99.
24. A mini wallet emergency kit with a cool print of your favorite city skyline and travel-size provisions that'll be there when minor annoyances pop up. If the terminal bathroom is out of soap or you need to freshen up your breath, this cute set will come to the rescue.
Here's what it comes with: Inside your small wallet, you'll find a ChapStick, hair tie, two floss pics, Band-Aid, emery board, two safety pins, a sewing kit, two earring backs, makeup wipe, two bobby pins, two mints, deodorant wipe, Shout wipe, tampon, hand sanitizer, and pain relief.
Anne Cate is a small Ohio-based business that sells city-skyline-themed accessories and journaling supplies. Their product lineup features 100 hand-designed skylines from various cities and colleges worldwide!
BuzzFeed writer Danielle Healy swears by this kit and said: "I, your resident forgetful person, bought the NYC skyline version of this at the start of COVID-19 to keep in my work tote. Unfortunately, I haven't touched my work tote in months because...*gestures at the world around*...but it's a really handy kit I know will save me a ton whenever I regularly leave the house again. Everything from Anne Cate is super high quality. The wallet on its own is adorable and could be used for a million different things."
Get it from Anne Cate for $25 (available in 96 styles, ships in 7-10 days).
25. A BPA-free collapsible water bottle that doesn't take up excessive space in your backpack, carry-on, or luggage. You can fill it up before boarding and have a cold beverage before the drink carts make their way down the aisles.
Promising review: "This bottle rolled up and stored perfectly until I was through security, then I filled it (instead of paying $5 for a bottle of water at airport) and carried it. Once on the plane, I simply tucked it into the seat pocket in front of me. I loved it. I say 'loved' because they asked for volunteers to leave the plane, as it was overcrowded — or too much weight, as a captain put it — so I offered to wait till next flight. Unfortunately, I left my bottle tucked in the seat pocket 😣. My bad." —Julie
Get it from Amazon for $26.95 (available in eight colors).
26. An Away carry-on so you can pack multiple outfits without having to drop $$$ on a checked bag. Another cool feature of this luggage? It comes with an ejectable (and TSA-approved!) battery that can power up your tech gadgets anywhere, anytime.
BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde owns this space-saving carry-on. Here's her rave review: "I have had my Away carry-on suitcase for about a year now and absolutely love it! I've been able to fit everything I need for a weeklong trip into this with room to spare. It has two main compartments: one side with an interior compression system so you can pack all your soft clothes, and then a zippered side for all of your loose items. It also comes with a laundry bag for you to store all your dirty clothes as you travel. I like how durable it is — I've definitely knocked it against the wall or a bench a few times and I haven't gotten a scratch or a dent on it. And even if I do end up damaging it, Away has a limited lifetime warranty on their suitcases that covers any functional damage to the shell, wheels, handles, zippers, or anything else that impairs your use of the luggage. This is definitely a splurge-worthy purchase I feel like I got my money's worth out of (and then some!)."
Get it from Away for $275+ (available in six colors and with or without a USB charger).
27. A waterproof Kindle Paperwhite that's like a digital library for all your favorite reads. You can take it with you if you're traveling by bus, car, or plane, and not have to stuff your bag with heavy books if you'll be gone for a few days.
Promising review: "I put off buying a Kindle despite friends raving about them. I still prefer tangible books but I have to say I'm in love with this device. I find myself reaching for the Kindle more than my books just for the ease of use, built in light and font enlargement features. A quick tutorial on YouTube had me up to speed with all the other awesome options. Highly recommend this especially if you are a frequent traveler. No more lugging around several heavy books in your carry-on! The only negative is photos come over in black & white but it's not a deal-breaker for the convenience it offers!" —radiogirl85
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available with or without ads).
Read more deets in our full review of the Kindle Paperwhite.
28. Glossier's the Skincare Edit so you can take care of your complexion on the go and pack a light toiletries bag. It comes with travel-friendly skincare products, including the Milky Jelly Cleanser and Super Bounce serum for your away-from-home routine.
This set includes mini versions of the Milky Jelly Cleanser, Super Bounce serum, Priming Moisturizer Rich, Balm Dotcom skin salve, Futuredew oil-serum hybrid, and a pink headband with the Glossier logo.
Promising review: "I travel really often, and I love having this to take with me, since it doesn't take up much room when you take all of the products out of the case. This set makes me wish that Glossier would sell minis of all their skincare." —Glossier Customer
Get it from Glossier for $50.
29. A set of packing cubes that'll help you organize everything you packed in your suitcase. Pants, shirts, dresses...whatever you're wearing, these compact containers will hold them all without taking up a ton of space.
This set comes with an extra large cube, large cube, medium cube, small cube, roomy shoe bag, and a laundry bag for dirty clothes!
Promising review: "I was traveling for 14 days and dreaded how the neatly packed suitcase usually became the suitcase from hell after a couple of days of travel. These bags were wonderful! I rolled my clothing and had very little wrinkling. I divided the bags into pants, tops, undies and shoes. We were usually in the city but had plans for a rafting trip as well. I put all my rafting clothing and supplies into another bag. It also came with a laundry bag, which was very handy. It was so easy to move from hotel to hotel because my bag was always neat and orderly. I am thinking of buying more to organize my chest of drawers at home." —Amazon Customer
Get a 6-piece set from Amazon for $25.99 (available in 10 colors).
30. Or vacuum seal bags so you can max out your luggage space and stash bulky clothing, including sweaters and jackets, with ease. If you're traveling to a vacay spot where the weather changes a lot, these packing essentials will allow you to bring a versatile wardrobe with options.
Jasmin Sandal, a writer here at BuzzFeed, loves these for packing. She said: "I swear by these bad boys not only for general storage purposes, but also if I know I'm going to be traveling for an extended period of time. As someone who tends to pack for every eventuality (who doesn't like to be prepared?!), I have learned that it's better to travel with them than without — especially since it's more or less a guarantee that my clothes are gonna take up a ~substantial~ amount of room in my suitcase. And if I can use something that's gonna shrink the size of my bulky hoodies and/or big tees in order for me to create more space, I'm sure as heck gonna do it. Plus, the satisfaction is indeed guaranteed because when you see those chunky layers flatten into a pancake... it's just *chef's kiss*."
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in multiple sizes or a variety pack).
31. A comfy and cozy hoodie you'll wear again and again on flights. Cotton-blended fleece fabric and a built-in sleeping mask will literally leave you on ~cloud nine~ when you fly. And, you can leave that bulky, hard-to-pack travel blanket out of your luggage for good.
BuzzFeeder Marquaysa Battle loves this hoodie and said: "I own this in black and I actually factually REFUSE to wear any other hoodie to the airport. I pull my sleep mask down and it's a wrap, OK?! Asleep before takeoff. When you're wearing it and dedicating your travel style to it like me, then be sure to shout out the Pond Los Angeles that makes it! It's a woman-owned and Asian American–owned clothing and accessories brand based in Cali that intentionally uses a woman-led manufacturer to create its lovely pieces."
Get it from Pond Los Angeles for $128 (available in sizes XS–XL and also in black).
32. And a portable jewelry organizer to keep all your baubles organized on the go: it has separate sections for post earrings, necklaces, and rings. If you're done with jewelry getting all tanged up on trips, this pretty carrier will be a big help.
This small business also sells handmade necklaces, paperclip bracelets, and more pretty pieces!
Promising review: "Very cute and perfect size to travel and put in a carry one bag!" —Etsy Customer
Get it from The Silver Wren on Etsy for $23.
