    26 Things Under $20 From Target You'll Never Want To Travel Without Once You Try Them

    From a luggage scale to a portable charger, these affordable items are gonna be game-changers for your upcoming travel.

    1. A luggage scale for those of us (looking at myself!) who have a tendency to overpack. 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 scramble to take things out at the airport ever again!

    2. An all-in-one wall adapter so you can plug your electronics into international outlets — it has four different settings, which match the outlets used in over 150 countries. Grab one and never again experience the heartbreak of going to plug your phone into an outlet, only to realize that you can't.

    3. A four-piece E.l.f. skincare travel kit with a calming balm, facial oil, primer, and hydrating cream, because honestly, traveling can wreak havoc on your skin and these mini additions will help combat it.

    4. A combination luggage lock to keep all your important items safe and secure while you're on the go. This lock is perfect for making sure your stuff stays secure and can even be used post-travel as a regular lock as well!

    5. A mini first aid kit so you can always have the essentials on hand for any potential traveling mishaps. Tripped up the stairs? Got a blister on the back of your foot? This kit has your back. It comes with 18 colorful bandages in two sizes, three antiseptic packets, three hand sanitizer packets, and the travel tin, which covers basically everything.

    7. A travel cosmetic jar (or five) with screw-top lids, so you don't have to pay to check an entire bag just because you want to bring your favorite skincare products with you. Seriously, there's no reason to leave that incredible moisturizer or sunscreen behind — just put as much as you need into these convenient, reusable plastic jars.

    8. A pack of Starface pimple patches to help get rid of that pesky breakout that seemingly appeared overnight after your flight. The best part? They're super cute to boot.

    9. A reliable external battery so you're never stuck with a dead device en route to traveling somewhere new. The amount of times an external battery has saved my tush is astonishing.

    10. A cooling eye mask for relieving post-flight puffiness after taking a red eye (and concealing the lack of sleep that goes with it).

    11. A two-pack of knee-high compression socks to help prevent swelling from sitting too long in one place. These are great for train rides, flights, or car rides, and will make a huge difference by increasing circulation.

    12. A hanging toiletry bag with ample space for your very, very intense skincare (or beauty) routine — so now, there's no need to switch to a pared-down routine just because of space concerns. And, it's machine washable, just in case you happen to spill something.

    13. A pair of acupressure wristbands for relieving nausea during those *never-ending* bumpy plane or car rides. Did we mention that they'll help with seasickness on any boats you take, too?

    14. A set of stylish luggage tags because you should be able to spot your luggage on the baggage claim from a mile away. These colorful options will keep you from grabbing someone else's bag accidentally or having to run after someone who grabbed yours by mistake.

    15. A satin pillow eye mask with an innovative design that'll help you catch important ZZZs during any transatlantic flights or provide protection in the sun-drenched hotel room you booked. Either way, traveling with this eye mask will help you avoid jet lag and get that very important sleep.

    16. A set of multicolored soap holders so you can bring your favorite bar of soap with you wherever you go — without needing to worry about it getting everything in your bag or suitcase all gross.

    17. A Venus mini razor that not only won't take up too much space but also comes with a compact carrying case so you can easily throw it in your luggage. With this, you don't have to worry about running out to buy a shaver the second you get on vacation, and it won't rust either due to the tiny holes that help it dry quickly.

    18. A phone cup holder for hands-free GPS on those loooong family car trips. Since it has universal compatibility, it can easily work with the cup holders in any car to ensure you don't get lost before getting to your destination.

Plus, its washable cover makes it super easy to keep it clean.
