Promising review: "I love this mini printer! I did a lot of research on different ones before buying and this seemed to have the best reviews. I originally bought it because I’m living out of the country for a while and wanted to be able to send pictures to family. I printed the first few for my locker, the fact that you can make them stickers came in handy, and they came out so well! My roommates and I were really impressed by the picture quality. It’s easy to use and I love that I can also add borders and designs with the app. I'm impressed and really happy I bought this." —Jacqueline
Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in three colors).
29. A rechargeable LED desk lamp with built-in organization space for pens and other supplies, plus a phone rest so your desk space will be the neatest, sleekest version of itself. (You can prop your phone up and watch videos or FaceTime while you type!)
Promising review: "Note this is not a table lamp that will light up an entire room. With that said, it’s cute and does the job. It’s good for reading or for crafts. I love that you can charge it and use it unplugged anywhere you want, and the neck is bendable. This is great for painting or puzzles or doing your nails. It does have three shades of light and three levels of each." —amazonloverfromtn
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors).
30. A collapsible water bottle so you can quickly hydrate yourself without wasting any precious space in your bag.
It's lead-, latex-, and BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and can be used for hot or cold drinks.
Promising review: "Well this is the coolest thing ever! I travel quite a bit, and I usually don't take a bottle with me because they are big and bulky and I usually lose them! This collapsible water bottle is a perfect traveling accessory. It stays collapsed until after security, and then I fill it up for the trip. It's a good size and fits in my side compartment in my travel backpack, and the cap screws in securely so I don't have to worry about it opening accidentally and spilling all over the place. I follow the instructions on how to clean it and it works just fine." —M. Lyons
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in eight colors).
31. A lightweight, waterproof pocket beach blanket that you can use at picnics, beaches, campsites, festivals, and more. Basically, if you're gonna invest in an outdoor blanket, have it be this one.
