33 Products That’ll Have You Not Only Surviving, But Thriving During Your Fall Travels
The leaves won’t be the only thing falling — you’ll also be ~falling in love~ with this reviewer-beloved cosmetic bag and foldable travel mirror.
1. A lightweight anti-theft backpack because it’s waterproof and has a wet bag, a shoe compartment, a laptop compartment, a luggage strap, and a built-in charging port. It’s also spacious while still being able to fit under an airplane seat. So if you suddenly start to feel chilly after all that airport chaos is over, you can just reach down and grab your jacket.
Promising review: “I have sent the link for this bag to so many loved ones because it has changed the way I’ve traveled. I have always been the over packers having to pay excess weight fees on my luggage. Since using this bag I have been able to cut down to a carry-on and personal item most trips. Come the end of this year, my husband and I will have been on eight trips. This bag has been with us for half of them. I use it as my personal item and easily pack shoes, a large cosmetic bag, hair tools, clothes, a steamer, snacks, chargers, and other small items — it holds so much. The cream color is very stylish and it is easy to clean. I cannot explain enough how much I love it. I’ll be ordering my husband one in another color for our longer trips.” —Mads
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three sizes, two styles, and 32 colors).
2. A luggage drink caddy for anyone who considers their ~emotional support PSL~ an airport essential. This sticks right on top of your wheeled luggage and has two pockets so that you can place your phone, snacks, and most importantly, your latte to power you through until you’re *finally* seated on the plane!
Reviewers say it’s ideal for a suitcase that can roll on four wheels! If you have a suitcase that has to tilt while it rolls, just be careful if the drinks are open at the top.

Promising review: “This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, I dropped and spilled my drink everywhere when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket. It was a nightmare! This time, I bought this cup holder to do me a favor! I don’t have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too.” —Philip
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 23 colors and patterns).
3. A 2-in-1 nausea relief inhaler made with menthol as well as peppermint, lavender, and eucalyptus oil for a gentle, yet effective aroma that helps reduce spontaneous nausea, motion sickness, morning sickness, and general queasiness (having a human body is hard). Also — this works *fast*. Road trips and cruises just got a HECK of a lot easier!
For mild onset of nausea or queasiness, you can breathe in through the inhaler for quick relief. For a greater onset of discomfort, you can rub some of the oil on the tip of your nose for discreet, lasting relief. And since it’s natural, you can use it as often as needed!
Read more about essential oils and morning sickness at Mayo Clinic, peppermint oil and nausea in one small study at the National Library of Medicine, and aromatherapy at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: “Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy I’d reach for it. I’m sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!” —Willy&Lilly
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of four).
4. Or a set of Sea Bands if you tend to get motion sickness on plane rides (or really anything that moves). It applies acupressure to each wrist and helps relieve nausea and vomiting so that you can finally enjoy your much-deserved vacay.
Reviewers swear by these nonmedicated bands for nausea relief: they’ve used them while traveling on airplanes, boats, and cars and for morning sickness during pregnancies. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Check the bands out on TikTok here.
Promising review: “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
Get a pair from Amazon for $8.53+ (available in six colors and two-packs).
5. A water-resistant cosmetic bag for anyone who can’t help traveling with dozens of beauty products — fall is glam season, after all. It comes with four spacious compartments that’ll help keep everything organized and a hook so that you can hang it behind a door or on a closet rod. (Hello, extra counter space!) With this, you’ll have your entire beauty routine nice and spread out without even having to unpack it at all!
Promising reviews: “I saw this on TikTok and purchased it for my trip! Got back home and use it in my own bathroom. I love it that much! Best Amazon purchase I’ve ever made!” —Amazon Customer
“I bought this bag specifically for when I travelled across the country with my two small children. One of whom is a medically complex child. I put ALL of my toiletries, ALL their toiletries, and ALL of my son’s medications in this bag. Everything fit perfectly, and nothing was broken. The hanger is durable and can carry lots of weight when it hangs on the back of the bathroom door. I bought the largest size, and it was 100% worth what I paid for. If you are traveling by yourself, I would recommend the smaller size. But if you are packing for others or just pack heavy, definitely buy the larger size. I absolutely loved it! And it was very compact in my suitcase. Very sturdy as I carried it. I HIGHLY recommend buying.” —Hannah Funderburk
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).
6. A set of durable leak-proofing toiletry sleeves, because Thanksgiving dinner will already be chaotic enough without having that lotion bottle explode on your evening outfit. They stretch to seal most full-sized and travel-sized toiletries and revert right back to their original size when not in use!
Rinseroo is a small, family-owned business based in New Jersey.
Promising review: “I travel a lot, and was getting tired of storing shampoo, conditioner, creams, etc. in zippered plastic bags — then having to clean the leaked product off the container and the inside of the bag. Bought two sets of these for an international trip, and they worked so well that I’ll skip the plastic bags next time! No leaks at all. Also, very easy to clean between uses. Great product, works on various sizes and shapes of container.” —Dawn C.
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two colors).
7. A mini belt bag that’ll surprise you with just how roomy it is. Use it to keep your phone, wallet, headphones, and maybe even a protein bar to snack on close to you and easily accessible. It’s also great for use on the plane so that your small essentials are never out of reach.
Promising reviews: “I bought this as a purse for traveling to populated European cities as there are heaps of pickpockets. It worked perfectly! It is the perfect size to fit everything I need and was super comfortable. Highly recommend.” —Jessie Anela
“I bought this fanny pack to take on our trip to San Francisco and it worked out better than I thought it would! We hiked through Muir Woods and I loved that my hands were free from holding a purse! Then we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, went to Chinatown, the wharf, etc. and again it was great not having to hold anything. This is by far the best bag I’ve ever traveled with. It is almost the same exact size a (name brand) bag but a lot less. Best purchase for the vacation :)” —Pat
Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in 38 colors).
8. A TikTok-famous selfie light, which is super compact and has three color temperatures and 10 brightness levels, so that you always have the *perfect* lighting. Clip it onto your phone, and you’ll have Alix Earle-level lighting wherever you go.
Check it out in this TikTok.
Promising review: “I use this when I travel and the pop of light is BRIGHT. I take a lot of photos and video each trip, and this attaches to most everything I have on-hand and bends into forward and backward angles. I charged it up when it arrived and, a few weeks in, haven’t charged it again! Brightens up my travel life. :)” —Brian & Andrea Doering
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three styles).
9. A practical tray table cover so that all the necessary knick-knacks for your flight are within easy reach. Perfect to store your water bottle, book, tissues, snacks…oh, and lip balm (because we all know how dry the weather can get as fall settles in)! Now you can just place your bag overhead and kick your feet out while having everything right in front of you.
Promising review: “I love this thing! I always hated putting things in the seat pocket on planes. It was easy for things to get lost in there, or sometimes the pockets were pretty tight. This thing was amazing. I was able to get everything out of my bag that I might need during the flight and had easy access to it all. It was so much better than having to pull my bag out constantly to get stuff I needed. It also folds up nicely, so it doesn’t take up much space in your bag.” —Corey
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
10. A digital luggage scale, because once you have it, you’ll never travel without it. Especially if you know your luggage will be much heavier on the way back! This lets you know how much it weighs so that you don’t have to worry about awkwardly stopping in the middle of a busy airport to redistribute weight. Plus, reviewers rave about how accurate it is!
You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements.
I tested this digital luggage scale out when packing for a trip to Iceland — check out my demo of how it works on TikTok!
Promising review: “We used this on a six-flight trip across Europe and it made it easy to know that we repacked our bags according to the various weight limits. Some bags had a 10-kg limit and some had a 50-lb limit so it was convenient to switch back and forth between units (even though dividing by 2.2 isn’t exactly rocket science).” —Robert
Get it from Amazon for $7.91+ (available in four colors and a two-pack).
11. A pack of Neutrogena portable makeup remover wipes — the iconic wipes in travel form! No more needing to shimmy your way out of your seat to cleanse your face in the tiny bathroom, or carry a bulky pack of towelettes in your carry-on. These are gentle, effective, and will have your face clean in a snap.
Promising reviews: “I have sensitive skin, so I am particular about my face products. I travel for work two to four times per year and usually once for vacation, and try to avoid bringing so much liquid due to restrictions. I can bring these and leave both my face and eye cleaner at home. They are great for use in flight on long overseas legs, in your seat. No need to disturb anyone or spend extra time in the overused, tiny bathroom. I have never broken out, and they don’t bother my eyes. I do use my normal face lotion after these, unless on the plane. They don’t leave your skin dry.” —Andrea Louise
“I use these for travel and freshening up on the plane before landing or whenever I am hot and am not in a place where I can wash my face. They are wonderful. I used to buy the big packs but found them awkward to carry. With these, I throw a bunch in my travel pack and I am off. Love them!” —BrianM_NJ
Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $6.88 (available in two styles).
12. A set of splurge-worthy Bose noise-canceling headphones since none of us can even hope for an enjoyable flight without some top-notch sound quality. These babies have spatial audio that gives you a totally immersive, crystal clear sound experience and a battery life that will outlive almost any flight. 😍
Promising review: “These headphones are a game-changer. As an avid music enthusiast, frequent traveler, and love of movies in a loud and busy household, these headphones have improved my audio experiences in ways I never knew were possible. First and foremost, the noise cancellation is unparalleled. The moment you put these on, the outside world fades away. However, it still offers the ability to be aware of your surroundings when needed without stopping your audio. If you are traveling, you don’t need to worry about the headphones going out on you, because the battery life is incredible. As with all Bose products, the craftsmanship and quality are top-notch. I have been hesitant to purchase Bose headphones in the past because I just didn’t think that I would be able to tell enough of a difference. I was wrong. I am beyond excited to have these headphones, and it has added so much to my entertainment enjoyment.” —P.O.
Get them from Amazon for $429 (available in five colors).
13. A pair of breathable high-waisted leggings — warm enough if you’re traveling from a cold destination, but breathable enough if you’re on your way to a warm one! They’re also moisture-wicking, have fleece-lined material, *and* have a hidden waistband pocket.
Promising review: “I bought this pair of leggings initially so I could have something warm and comfortable to wear while working at home that wasn’t just a pair of sweatpants — they ended up becoming a staple of my workout wardrobe too! I ended up getting two more pairs in the no-pocket style so I can cycle through them during the week for my outdoor walks/runs. Fit-wise, if you’re not looking for something super-snug, I’d suggest going a size up. The legs are a little long on me, but I’m short (5’1″) and I’m used to things being a little long on me. My only gripe about these is that the side pocket isn’t anywhere near big enough to hold my phone, but I’ve got a huge phone, so I’m used to it not fitting in pockets easily. Long story short: I love these, and if you’re looking for warm leggings, either for working out or for lounging around the house, you should get a pair of these.” —Beth Lynn Nolen
Get it from Amazon for $28.89+ (available in women’s sizes XS–3XL, in 20 colors, and in three different pocket options).
14. And a super cozy oversized pullover sweatshirt that serves as the ideal layering piece to take on and off as you get to your destination, especially as autumn settles in and the temps start to fall. It’s light enough to make it easy to travel with but warm enough to keep you from getting chilly. So if you happen to doze off, blame the sweatshirt.
I recently bought this for a trip to Seattle and let me tell you, it was sooo comfy. I wore it on the plane, and it was warm enough to keep me from shivering (the way I always do on planes, because they insist on being super cold) but breathable enough so that it wouldn’t feel too stuffy. I have it in both the cream and dark green colors — both are so cute and perfect to pair with leggings for a comfy airport outfit.
Promising review: “I was in need of a jacket that was light enough to pack for a trip but warm enough for the environment that I was traveling to. This pullover delivered! I was able to roll it down in my carry-on without being overweight. The quality is top-tier. It’s very soft on the outside and warm on the inside. I did size up for that oversized fit so I got an XL. Very good decision. I want to get them in every color.” —The Glamologist
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in women’s sizes S–XXL and in 27 colors).
15. A 4-in-1 makeup brush set — this magic wand of a brush is a foundation, eye shadow, concealer, AND powder tool all rolled up in one! That makeup bag of yours just got a wholeee lot more spacious.
Promising review: “The bristles are soft, and they apply the product very well. Love that it has a case, which is perfect for traveling. Now I don’t have to travel with 10+ brushes.” —Yashira
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 10 styles).
16. A travel-friendly blanket-slash-pillow if you’re someone who’s constantly chilly on airplanes. This soft (and super cute, might I add) creation will let you stay warm and cozy without having to take up extra space — it turns into a portable pouch that you can clip to your backpack or carry-on! Now you can snuggle up and dream about stuffing and mashed potatoes. 😴
Amazon
EverSnug is a small business that sells travel sleeping care kits.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Promising review: “I ordered two of these and my daughter and I both use them numerous times while flying recently. They compact nicely, have a loop that can go through the handle of a carry-on, and are the perfect size for snuggling up and sleeping on the airplane. It is lightweight and I will not fly again without it!” —SweetMama
Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in seven colors).
17. A drink holder for all you window seat lovers — hey, you’re already forfeiting easy access to the aisle, so you might as well utilize every inch of space possible. Those too-tiny tray tables never have enough room, but this thing can hold your drinks and other things, like your phone or glasses. This means you can have your drink and other knick-knacks within easy reach *without* having to keep your tray table down!
Amazon
Heads up — you can only use this if you’re sitting in a seat that has access to a full window!
Promising review: “I used this for the first time on a 737. It was fabulous! It didn’t intrude into my sitting space nearly as much as I expected. Because the actual window is recessed from the side wall, this only sticks out from the side wall about an inch. If you’re considering this, you likely fly enough to know that seats aren’t always aligned with the windows. If your window happens to be right beside your seat or the seat in front of you, this won’t be of much use. But because it doesn’t just come out as much as I thought, you can use it in more situations than I expected. And when you can use it, it’s great! I love not having to have my entire tray table down just to hold a 3-inch cup. My only suggestion would be to add a place to hold trash until the flight attendant picks it up. This is very small, very lightweight, and very useful. I’ll be taking it on every flight from here on.” —JBC
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
18. A pack of homeopathic jet lag prevention chewable tablets to help balance your circadian rhythm and combat drowsiness and sleeplessness, so you don’t have to waste one minute of your much-deserved vacation. One reviewer describes that these “do not make you feel ‘speedy’ — just normal, alert, and not so beat-up physically from a long trip.”
Amazon
To use, just take one tablet and hour before takeoff and one every hour you are in the air.
Promising reviews: “I had a flight to Europe from the US East Coast with an hour-long layover in London recently. I used this product during my travel, and I was able to sleep well once I made it to my destination. I wasn’t jittery or hungover the next morning. I was able to launch into a full week of activities and meetings without any problem. Jet lag usually takes a few days for me to get over, but this product eliminated all that.” —Cynthia Norman
“These are fantastic. We used these for a trip which included a long day after the overnight flight to Europe, as well as a missed connection and overnight stay on the way home, and these kept us feeling human the entire time. We continued to take them throughout the first day there and back home, using the package directions for timing and dosage. They are chewable and pleasant tasting, and do not make you feel ‘speedy,’ just normal, alert, and not so beat-up physically from a long trip. It didn’t take long to adjust to a six-hour time difference, in both directions. Highly recommend.” —KL
Get a 30-pack from Amazon for $16.95 (also available as a 60-pack).
19. A cooling, memory foam contoured sleep mask for when all you wanna do is catch some Zs on your flight, but your neighbor with a reading light or open window has other ideas. 🙄 This puts no pressure on your eyes and completely blocks out light while still allowing you to freely blink, so that you can get some beauty sleep before you land!
Check it out in this TikTok.
Promising reviews: “The BEST BEST BEST and most comfortable sleep mask I’ve found. Night shifter for years, and have tried everything. Many other sleep masks have some qualities, but not all. This one is AMAZINGLY SOFT, VERY THICK, plush, high-quality material, quality stitching that won’t come apart like so many others that are cheaply made, and it’s EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE even though it’s a good price. Very impressed and pleasantly surprised.” — .
“I loved it so much, I bought a second for my boyfriend! We both travel so much that sometimes you end up in a hotel room where the blinds still let in light, and this blocks it out without compressing your eyelids, where it feels like you’re being forced to keep them shut. I love that the compression contours around your eye so that you can open your eyes without feeling like you’re restricted. I love it so much I sleep with it at home now, and I never travel without it!” —Jordann
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in eight styles).
20. A Briotech spray with magical powers that rival the pricier Tower 28 spray (*gasp*). Packed with the same key ingredient, hypochlorous acid, this skincare gem will quickly become one of your staples as it effectively works to help reduce redness and soothe inflammation so that your skin stops looking as stressed out as you feel going through TSA.
BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings. (Note: This product has newer packaging that you might receive instead of the older bottle shown above!)
Promising review: “This spray is amazing. I had a rash on my face, and it disappeared after one use of this spray. I had a stye in my eye, and the skin around the eye was irritated. This spray fixed not only the irritation, but the stye went away as well. Any sort of blemish or acne is taken care of with this simple, inexpensive spray. Great for after-sun care or workout redness. Everyone loves Tower 28’s expensive SOS spray. The SOS spray contains hypochlorous acid, which is the exact same ingredient in the Briotech spray for much less money. It’s a miracle worker.” —Squid466
Get a 4-ounce bottle from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four sizes).
21. A rechargeable foldable travel mirror so that you can glam up with proper lighting, even if you’re in a dark hotel room. This is also super useful if you’re traveling with a group of people who all need the mirror in the morning. Let them hog the bathroom mirror — you’ve got your own. 💁♀️
It has three light settings (white light, warm light, and natural light) for your beauty routine. Just gently tap the switch on the screen to change brightness levels. Need to charge it? No worries, because it comes with a USB cable too.
Check it out in this TikTok.
Promising review: “I have been looking for something like this for so long. TikTok helped me find it and it’s exactly as what’s shown! The different light settings are all great, they are all bright, sturdy mirror/stands up well with no issues, good quality, not to big and not to small. Great for travel and every day use. I’m 10/10 happy with this purchase!” —Chloe
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors).
22. A set of Earplanes that help relieve in-flight ear discomfort, clogging, and popping by filtering and helping to regulate air pressure. Truly lifesavers — especially for those of us who dread taking off/landing because of the drastic change in altitude!
Before I started using these a couple of years ago, my ears would *always* start to hurt when the plane started to descend. I’d have to press my fingers on my ears and be chewing on gum just to try to dissuade some of the discomfort. Now, as soon as the captain announces they are starting the descent, I put these in my ears (BTW, they’re surprisingly comfortable!), put my headphones on over them, and can actually enjoy the last half hour of my flight.
Promising review: “I am very sensitive to the change in pressure on airplanes, to the point where I am in tears on takeoff and landing. I finally had to do something about it or I would fear flying again. I wish I had known about these years ago. They alleviated ALL sensitivity to the pressure change and made for a very comfortable and anxiety-free flight. I can’t recommend them enough.” —Nancy Cardella
Get a pair from Amazon for $7.89 (also available in multipacks and in kids’ sizes).
23. A perfect-for-travel portable charger because it’s got built👏 in👏 cables so you don’t ever again have to dig through your carry-on bag for that ONE cable you need. To top it off, reviewers rave about how fast this baby charges your electronics!
Promising review: “This portable charger is a total game-changer! The built-in cables make it incredibly convenient — no more digging through bags looking for the right cord. It’s slim, lightweight, and perfect for travel. With six outputs and three inputs, it handled multiple devices at once with ease, and the 3A fast charging feature really delivers. The 10,000mAh capacity lasted me through a full day of heavy use without needing a recharge. The build quality is solid, and the design is sleek and modern. Everything exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this power bank to anyone who values convenience, performance, and reliability. A must-have for travelers and tech lovers alike!” —Juadiry Hurtado
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in five colors).
24. A handy dandy phone tripod — perfect for when you want to get a group pic, are traveling solo, or want to record a TikTok with your besties. It extends to a height of 62 inches and gives your phone 360-degree rotation so that you can get the best angle!
Check it out in this TikTok.
Promising review: “I like the versatility of this product — can be held like a selfie stick, and also extends to make a very-portable tripod. It’s a good compromise if you need something that does both, especially for travel! Fits easily into a suitcase and can fit into/onto a backpack. I didn’t notice that it comes with a Bluetooth remote, which is a nice bonus.” —Phil S.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors).
25. A transparent TSA-approved toiletry bag, because going through security as we approach the most travel-heavy time of year is stressful enough without being delayed to have your liquids and makeup double-checked. This bag allows airport security (and you) to easily identify its contents so that you’re at your gate with your latte in hand before ya know it.
Amazon
Promising review: “This bag held surprisingly more than expected. I put tiny travel jars for my skincare creams and other small toiletries in it with room to spare. I definitely feel like it was easier to pack and was also easy to grab out of my bag for security. It feels sturdy with nice, thick vinyl. The double zipper moved easily, and I was pleased that it opened completely for ease of getting the items I needed out of it.” —M Tate
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 10 colors).
26. Or a set of TSA-compliant leakproof travel capsules if you’re looking for an easy way of traveling with your face creams, vitamins, and dainty jewelry that’ll complement those autumn outfits beautifully. These leakproof lil’ containers will hold them all securely. They’re also magnetic — they’ll stick together, so you don’t have to be digging around your bag for the one specific capsule.
Cadence
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! Check them out on TikTok here.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping contributor 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.”
Promising review: “This is my go to for all my travel, gym, camping trips. I can keep enough for four to five days of skincare. The best set I’ve had for carry-on toiletries.” —Cadence Customer
Get a set of seven from Cadence for $168 (available in individual capsules, bundles of three or six, and seven colors). They’re also available in pre-made sets on Amazon!
27. A roomy water-resistant duffel bag, which is the perfect travel companion for the upcoming rainy days — you can even take it as extra storage room for gifts and new purchases you’ll be bringing back home! It comes with several interior pockets, a wet pocket (great for toiletries!), a tablet sleeve, and a strap to keep it secured to your luggage as you rush around the airport.
Promising review: “I can’t say enough good things about this travel duffel bag; it’s been an absolute game changer for my trips. I’ve taken it on several journeys, including some rough adventures, and it still looks as good as new. The size is just perfect — it holds a surprising amount of stuff while remaining compact enough to fit in overhead compartments or under seats on flights. The compartments and pockets help keep everything organized, which is a lifesaver when you’re on the go. The quality of the zippers and handles is top-notch. The shoulder strap is comfortable, and the option to carry it as a backpack is a fantastic feature. It’s great for weekend getaways, business trips, or even as a gym bag. I’ve used many travel bags in the past, but this one truly stands out in terms of quality and functionality. It’s become my go-to travel companion, and I wouldn’t travel without it. If you’re in need of a reliable, stylish, and spacious travel duffel, look no further. This bag is a winner!” —Liz
Get it from Amazon for $16.19+ (available in 62 colors/styles).
28. An ultra-lightweight Wantdo puffer jacket that’ll keep you toasty warm without taking up all the space in your bag that your thicker coats tend to take up. It’s also perfect for keeping it in your backpack if you know you won’t be needing the extra warmth until you land! It even comes with a carrying case so that you can roll it up and have it ready to be packed in a snap.
Promising review: “I bought this coat to bring with me on a road trip in Iceland. It worked great! It’s warm without being bulky. The hood stayed up despite wind. Best part: It packs down so well in the little bag that it comes with! I was able to stuff the bag inside one of my hiking boots, which meant it took up virtually no space when I packed for our flight.” —Laura Grace
Get it from Amazon for $58.98 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 18 colors).
29. A super convenient handheld mini fan, because we all know how stuffy long flights can get! Whether you hold it in your hand or set it down on the tray in front of you, it gives off a powerful, refreshing airflow. And guess what? It also doubles as a flashlight *and* backup charger. Talk about being tiny but mighty!
You know how everyone has those little items that are permanently in their carry-on bag? This is one of them for me. Being able to get some nice airflow wherever I go has been so amazing; I can never go back. And not even just for travel! I also take it to amusement parks, on hikes, and even use it throughout my makeup routine to help set products in place. Plus, the battery life it *top tier*.
Promising review: “This thing was a godsend while I was in Florida in the summertime. Love that it has a flashlight, and you can use it as a backup power bank in a pinch. For me, this fit all my needs, it kept me cool in Florida, fit perfectly in my purse/backpack, and on my wrist. I pretty much took this wherever I went and even used it on the plane during boarding when it was super hot in there. I’m giving this 5 stars, it worked perfectly for me.” —Erica

30. A satin-lined Hairbrella — it’s just what you need to protect your Barbie-perfect hair from being ruined by rainy or muggy days while you’re out and about. It folds up and fits right in your bag, so that you’re ready for whatever the weather throws your way.
Check it out in this TikTok.
Hairbrella is a Black-owned business known for its stylish hats that also help protect hair from various weather conditions, including humidity, rain, and snow.
Promising review: “I traveled to London last month with a raincoat that did not have a hood, and I wanted something that would protect my head/hair/blowout without lugging an umbrella. This definitely did the trick. Two of the three days were rainy (some quite heavy), and my hair stayed totally dry. It stows nicely, too. I’m still learning how to adjust it while it’s on my head (easier to adjust first and then put it on). Also, when I do have it tightened/pulled to the right place, the loop/slack from where I adjusted it sort of sticks out and gets in my peripheral vision. I wish the adjustment/clasp were less prominent. But, all in all, this is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their blowout fresh in the rain.” —Miss Information

Promising review: “Absolutely love this! I purchased it for a week-long vacation and it kept my jewelry safe and untangled. I had stopped traveling with necklaces because they always wound up a tangled mess. No more! Bonus is that the soft pink case is beautiful. It is also very slim so it’s easy to pack or carry in your purse. Highly recommend this product! My favorite purchase in a long time!” —Petite and Pampered Boutique
