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 bottle of bug spray that'll ward off annoying mosquitos (because who wants to spend their vacation scritching and scratching?) It's DEET-free and plant-based, giving you all the creepy-crawly repellent benefits without smelling like bug spray.
2. A pair of seamless shorts that'll save you from chafing, flashing the public, and underwear lines. They're super stretchy and high-waisted, making them easy and comfortable to wear with whatever outfit you're planning.
3. A waterproof speaker that'll bless your ears with some crisp sound and serious bass. Bring it to the beach, in the shower, while getting ready for dinner — you can even sync two at the same time or take turns DJing with a friend (it can connect to two phones at the same time).
4. A wireless charger that can flip up into a stand so you can still watch YouTube videos while you're charging your phone during a long flight. It also has a USB-C outlet, so you can juice up two devices at once.
5. A pack of hydrocolloid bandages that'll stop any painful blisters from ruining your trip by sucking the fluid out of them. They're waterproof, meaning you can go about your day without worrying about sweat, and you can even keep them on in the shower or when you're swimming.
6. A pill case that'll keep you on track with your medication and supplement schedule. Reviewers also love using it for stashing their little travel essentials like hair ties, ear plugs, and more.
7. A bottle of wrinkle release spray so you won't have to pack a heavy steamer. If you do need a little extra power, it also works as a pre-treatment and will help those hotel irons do a better job.
8. A day pack that'll become your trusty companion on a day of exploring. It's lightweight, water-resistant, has tons of pockets, and even folds into a handy pouch for storage.
9. A trio of Sol De Janeiro body favourites that'll make you smell like a delicious tropical dessert. If you're not a fan of how drying hotel soaps and lotions can be, you'll love how nourishing and hydrating the ingredients in this set are.
10. A pack of individually-wrapped makeup-removing wipes that'll whisk away even the most stubborn traces of mascara. They're easy to throw in your overnight bag without taking up space, and they won't dry up on you when you're only, like, halfway through the bag.
11. And a mini bottle of micellar water that'll pick up any leftover makeup and cleanse your skin (which is espesh convenient after a late night out). Plus, TSA won't snatch this teeny little bottle away from you!
12. A travel jewellery box that'll keep your baubles safe from getting crushed when you jet away with them. Since there are special hooks and pockets for every type of treasure, you won't have to worry about everything getting tangled, either.
13. A Revlon One-Step Root Booster brush that'll dry, untangle, and style your hair, so you won't have to bring a billion tools on board. It's a smaller and rounder than its volumizing sibling, but that's what makes it great for folks with layers or bangs (it me).
14. A bottle of reef-friendly Vacation Chardonnay sunscreen oil with SPF 30 that'll protect your skin from burning rays while making you look like a glazed donut. It'll absorb quickly into skin, keep it nourished with oils like jojoba and vitamin E (and it smells delicious).
15. A bottle of hair oil so your strands can get some love after spending all day in the sun. It's silicone-free, meaning it won't weigh your hair down while it's adding a layer of protection from any burning-hot styling tools.
16. A pair of sunglasses that you can hide your tired eyes behind whether you're hungover or taking a snooze. The oversized fit would look good on any face shape and gives your eyeballs a bit more protection all around.
17. A pair of low-rise Converse sneakers that'll support your feet on long walking adventures but are still cute enough to rock with a sundress at dinner.
18. A pack of Cosrx pimple patches because you never know when those pesky little spots are going to strike. Just leave them on overnight and watch the nasty stuff inside your bumps disappear!
19. An ultra-light Kobo Sage that'll help you hit all of your reading goals without weighing down your bag. It has two handy page-turning buttons, has no glare, and is waterproof (poolside reads, anyone?).
20. A bottle of Lumify eye drops that'll soothe your poor eyeballs and banish redness to another dimension. They'll also provide relief from minor irritation after a red-eye flight or allergies from being in a new place.
21. And lastly, a Tide To-Go pen that'll quickly get rid of stains (yes, even those left behind from pasta sauce or wine) if you're, like, the world's clumsiest eater. It'll also keep the spots from setting into your clothes, so they won't be impossible to wash out when you get home.
Me next week with all this stuff packed in my bag:
