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 helpful "Pack this!" checklist that'll ensure you've got allllll the things you need for your trip — and some you may not have even thought of. So long to the haunting feeling of "did I pack my phone charger?!"
2. A compact contact lens case designed to prevent carrying around extra weight when you'd rather wear contacts instead of your specs. This lil' thing is so chic and useful — you can keep all the essentials in a purse-friendly marble case that even has a mirror inside.
3. A simple yet remarkable felt insert created to slip into any sort of bag and *poof* instantly organize it. Overcrowded purse or carry-on? All now neatly arranged with roomy compartments, so you can stop burrowing in a black hole for your keys and specs.
4. A handy travel wallet complete with a RFID-blocking shield to stash and organize all your many important docs in one safe place. It's also great for having your ID readily available so you're not *that* person in line at security.
5. A set of packing cubes you'll want to take a top-down shot of because you'll be impressed with how tidy *and* Insta-worthy they make your stuff look. It's just a bonus that over 4,000 reviewers love these for their ability to make packing, unpacking and retrieving belongings, and then repacking a buttload more efficient.
6. A pair of buttery-soft hybrid leggings plus joggers so glorious, they serve the purpose of two different kinds of pants and barely take up any room. Admirers are noting that these feel like strokable velvet ideal for chillier days *and* have a breathable quality for temps best described as "sticky."
7. Some itty bitty laundry soap sheets you'll need so you never have to face running out of clean undies, or worse... suffering from the stains of spilling on the *only* white tee you packed. Simply add some water for some on-the-go hand washing.
8. A mini lightweight flat iron that'll give you the same jaw-droppingly smooth results as your full-sized one — but this can actually be stuffed into your case without you even noticing it 👀.
9. Hero Cosmetics Mighty Pimple Patches available in a variety of sizes to consolidate your skincare products and tackle zits on the go. Slap on one of these suckers overnight to combat *all* your pimple-based emergencies. See ya, whiteheads, you're officially on the no-fly list.
10. A portable UV sterilizer if this era has caused you to get the heebie jeebies anytime you're traveling with your kids. This compact cleaner safely eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and viruses from pacifiers, bottle nipples, teethers, and other small items while you're on the go.
11. Leakproof travel capsules so cute and useful, you can carry *and stack* all your essentials together in one spot on the go (without having to forego your routine). Now pills, creams, and jewelry can all be encased in lil' TSA-approved magnetic containers.
12. Or some squeezable silicone travel bottles with pre-printed labels so you can fill 'em up with all your usual shampoos and conditioners while never being without your holy grails.
13. A digital luggage scale that I, a habitual overpacker, would not have been able to travel without. I can't tell you how many times my scale has saved me from the inconvenience (and embarrassment) of paying overweight fees....
14. Curie Whipped Body Wash made with a frosty, non-liquid (aka TSA-approved), looks-good-enough-to-eat soap. Now you can pass on the hotel cosmetics and lather this all over your bod, or use it on the areas you choose to shave (since it doubles up as a shaving cream!) for your most moisturizing vacay shower yet.
15. An electronics pouch created to organize your most-used devices and their forest of tangled wires. Keeping everything in its place will not only ease the accessibility of your belongings, but also tame your disposition when you don't have to spend minutes (read: hours) unraveling cords.
16. A 6-foot-long, extra wide travel blanket so you can be fully prepared for flights that are so cold, you feel like you can see your own breath. This rolls up tightly into a carrier and will be your best friend on domestic and long-haul ventures.
17. A TSA-approved toiletry bag that'll stash all your travel-sized goodies and ensure they're easily identifiable. No holding up security lines here!
18. A chic, fuss-free fanny pack with a slim and versatile design that can be shoved into your case with ease, and will go with every outfit (we're talkin' the 55 'fit options) you packed.
19. A waterproof Kindle that is *chef's kiss* for any traveling bibliophile. No room in your case for multiple reads? No problem. Plus, you can take this to the pool without the worry since it'll even survive in the splash zone.
20. A set of shoe organizer bags so your sneakers can stay neatly packed away from your clean, folded clothes and your fancy suede shoes can remain scuff-free while traveling. What's also great? The lil' windows. Now you can find your heels with ease without having to play the guessing game with nondescript plastic bags.
21. A carry-on garment bag you can count on to keep your ~fancy~ 'fits that mean business crisp and wrinkle-free. And unlike regular (read: boring) garment bags, this carrier has mesh pockets and other compartments that'll store your coordinating accessories in one spot.
22. A jewelry organizer that folds into a neat wallet-sized pouch to store your vacation-ready accessories. It also provides some assurance that your necklaces won't become a bundled-up mess (which always seems to be a thing no matter how far the journey).
23. A reusable water bottle with a daily pill organizer so you can stay hydrated and on track with medications — even when you're a few thousand miles away from home!
24. A sleek and stylish July suitcase capable of transporting all your essentials for an extended getaway. Some highlights: A sneaky inner laundry bag, a compressive strap to keep all your layers tucked — which, get this, creates more space — *and* a stain-resistant lining to protect your case from lotion explosions.
25. A travel toothbrush that folds and stores easily so you can keep your smile fresh (especially if you time traveled and missed your nightly brush).
26. And BPA-free covers designed to fit toothbrush heads that can be exposed to all kinds of bacteria if they're just flung into your cosmetics bag. With this, you can keep bristles *and* your mouth nice and clean.
27. A memory foam Ostrichpillow neck cushion that's easy to store since it compresses to 60% of its original size for easy transportation. One reviewer even mentions using this like an actual pillow, so you can nap your way through to your destination! (The best way to travel, if you ask me.)
28. A buckled luggage strap you can add onto any bag for carrying extra items like scarves and jackets, which are usually super annoying to hold when you're on the move.
29. Or a chic and secure travel belt to attach extra book bags and totes to your suitcase, so it feels like you have one solid piece of luggage as you sprint to your terminal.
30. A convenient six-port USB charger that'll just give you one thing to pack for all your devices — instead of having to lug every single brick charger in your collection. Less luggage weight = less stress.
31. A designated dirty laundry bag so that your gross, sweaty sightseeing clothes can be neatly zipped up and kept away from your still-clean items.
32. Vacuum seal bags for a serious space-saving solution. Now you can get away with packing a couple extra things, just in case you end up going to a fancy dinner, or if there's a drop in temperature, or you end up swimming one extra day....It's always good to have options, right?
33. A Dagne Dover duffle bag so deceiving, you'll look at it and think pffft there's no way I'm fitting *everything* I need for my flight in that, but multiple interior and exterior slip pockets along with a key leash make this THE one. And this can tuck right under the airplane and train seat in front of you so you don't have to fight for overhead space.
34. A heat-resistant silicone mat for when you don't have the time to wait for your hot curling iron to cool before your journey to the airport. Wrap it up and toss it in your carry-on without fear of it burning a hole in your bag. (It can also be used to protect countertop surfaces, too!)
35. And a How To Pack book, because packing is a science and the sooner you nail it down the sooner you can put your feet up and start daydreaming about how you'll be at your destination in mere hours.
