Your Vacation Is Just Around The Corner, So Check Out These 36 Travel Products To Make Your Trip Even Better
You’re at the age where anything that can make travel easier is a worthy investment.
1. A Lambert leather travel bag to keep you looking incredibly stylish as you manage to bring all your personal belongings onto the plane. This bag is literally the perfect size, has a laptop compartment, a trolley sleeve (that you can zip close and use as an extra pocket if you don’t need it), *and* fits perfectly underneath an airplane seat.
Lambert
Listen up, I travel… a lot. Like a lot lot. I’ve tried so many different types of personal bags, honestly, I’ve legitimately lost count by this point, but this one is by far my favorite. I’m a certified overpacker, and I try to take as much as I physically can with me “just in case.” I took this on an international trip this summer, and I was so pleasantly surprised when I realized just how much I was able to bring with me, including: a laptop, an ipad, a keyboard, seven different chargers, my passport holder, an extra hoodie, an extra onesie for my daughter, her snacks, my snacks, my Stanley, and her sippy cup.
Promising review: “As a young mom who travels at least once a year, this bag was one of the best buys I’ve made. Its interior space carries a lot, making airport trips easier. I can store my stuff and my baby’s, too. Highly recommend.” —Emily J.
Get it from Lambert for $179.99 (available in three colors).
2. An airplane seat back organizer, because losing your earbuds in the endless void of the seat pouch in front of you is a really lousy way to start your vacation. This keeps your personal effects organized and on hand for that mid-flight boredom — no more having to stand up and reach for the overhead compartment to find your novel. Plus, this way, you won’t accidentally leave behind your fave lip balm on the plane.
Promising review: “Very useful, especially when traveling with kids. Provided easy access and storage to things like a water bottle, hand sanitizer, snacks, wipes, and headphones. I didn’t have to access my carry-on.” —JJ
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
3. Plus, a drink holder for my window seat people who don’t want to try balancing all their personal effects, as well as their beverages, on the teensy tiny tray table that somehow gets smaller and smaller with each passing year. It even holds some other essentials, like your headphones, glasses, or phone!
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.
4. A *mini* Kindle to carry an entire library’s worth of books so you’re always entertained during that eight-hour flight, that poolside vacay, or during some downtime in the Airbnb while you’re waiting for your always-chronically-late friends to finish getting ready. After all, not only does it carry thousands of downloaded books, but the battery life lasts up to six-freaking-weeks!!!
Check out a TikTok of the mini Kindle in action.
Promising review: “This is such a great Kindle! It’s lightweight, the perfect size for going in a purse or bag, and the matcha is SUCH a great color. I already have a Paperwhite SE that I love, so I decided to get this Kindle for travel purposes. The battery life isn’t as great as my Paperwhite, but it still lasts me a while with daily reading! It fits perfectly in my hands and makes reading very comfortable. The only thing it is missing is the warm light option, but that is not a deal breaker for me. If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable Kindle, this is the one for you.” —Christine Heath
Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in two colors).
5. A 4-in-1 makeup brush set with a makeup sponge, eyeshadow brush, eyebrow/eyeliner brush, and blush/blending brush — literally everything you could possibly need for a full face of glam without needing to bring an entire case full of brushes.
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).
6. A universal travel adapter to prove that you are always prepared, no matter which country you end up stumbling upon, as it works in over 160 different countries! Making an unscheduled trip to Argentina, you weren’t quite planning on? Don’t worry about your devices running out of charge since this adapter has got you covered, no matter where you end up!
But remember that this is not a voltage converter!
Promising review: “I am a digital nomad, so I travel full-time around the world. I have a lot of devices to charge (laptop, Kindle, phone, backup battery, portable Wi-Fi device, camera, the list goes on). A lot of times, hostel bunks or hotel rooms only have one outlet, and with the previous adapter I was using, I had to charge one device at a time. I used to literally set my alarm to wake up in the middle of the night and switch devices so that I could get more than one device fully charged overnight. I did my research, finally, and settled on this one because it is universal and has four USB ports. What a GAME CHANGER. On my latest trip, I was able to charge all my devices at once, and it made traveling so much smoother. It seems well-made and of good quality, too. Definitely recommend for my digital nomad and traveling peers. Happy travels! :)” —Maggie A.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two colors).
7. A ~splurge-worthy~ Level 8 two-piece luggage set — a beautiful set with silent 360-degree wheels, a built-in TSA-approved lock, and a dry-wet separation. It’s super-duper spacious, so you’ll be able to carry all the cute vacation outfits you bought! But the part that makes it completely worth the price is how easy it is to wheel around — seriously, it’ll feel like you’re not pushing around 50 lbs worth of clothing.
Level 8
I adore this luggage set with every fiber of my being. It’s so freakin’ spacious, I finally have room to stuff all the various outfits and shoes I need for my trip. The wheels are phenomenal; it has 360-degree rotation, so it’s super easy to push yet super quiet. I was able to drag it around easily through seven different airports and onto six flights, a boat, and a train. Honestly, the best luggage set I’ve ever had. Plus, it’s just so. freaking. PRETTY!!!!
Promising review: “I was so excited to get this set! Those are stylish and sturdy! Exceeded my expectations! They are beautiful! You will not be disappointed if you purchase these! Thank you!!!” —Pasamonte VaughnChandra
Get it from Level 8 for $499.99 (originally $569.99; available in three sizes and five colors).
8. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter that’ll let you connect your AirPods (or any wireless headphones) to your airplane seat! Now, you won’t have to use those uncomfy plastic earbuds the airline gives you — you can use the headphones of your choice while still enjoying the free in-flight entertainment that is offered!
Promising review: “If you have a wireless earpiece and fly frequently, this is a must-have. Most newer planes have a monitor on the seat backs that enables you to watch movies, etc. This unit enables you to do it using your wireless earpiece. Connection is simple and automatic once you have initially paired your device or devices. It’s convenient. I’m happy with the purchase.” —JCE
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four colors and five styles).
9. A set of silicone “EarPlanes” to help prevent those awful ear pains that are sure to happen the moment the plane takes off or lands.
Promising review: “This product has changed my life. I travel fairly frequently and always have issues with ear pressure on the plane. My ears will be clogged up, and it is painful to swallow for a day or two after short-distance flights. But now, I use these and fly incident-free. You are supposed to insert them before the plane takes off and then before landing. I have found that it works best if I leave them in the entire flight from before takeoff until landing, but they work almost as well if you take them out once you reach cruising altitude.” —Thomasina
Get a pack of one from Amazon for $7.89.
10. An eight-compartment pill organizer — now, you can keep all of your meds on hand without trying to dig through your bag for different bottles. Each one has eight compartments (two large, six small) and can safely store any size pill or vitamin you need. No need to lug around large bottles in your carry-on; you can just toss one of these little organizers instead.
Promising review: “My husband and I travel a lot and take a number of prescription drugs. It was always a hassle accessing our medication when needed, so I purchased this organizer to make things easier. I used a label maker and labeled each little compartment, and it has performed wonderfully. I highly recommend this organizer to anyone who travels and needs medications throughout the day.” —Jacqueline
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $6.97 (available in two color sets).
11. A simple luggage strap that can hold your essentials, like a travel pillow, jacket, personal item, and more, as you scoot along through the airport. Here’s to quickly gathering all your stuff post-screen and freeing up those hands!
Amazon
Promising review: “Definitely what I needed for my luggage as a flight attendant. Very heavy-duty and perfect for me. Works great with my extra luggage and lunch bag to hang on my suitcase. Thank you so much. Will definitely buy again.” —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in three colors and in packs of two).
12. An electronics organizer to keep all of your favorite small gadgets and chargers on hand, and keep the mess of wires compact so that they’re not taking up extra much-needed space in your bag.
Promising review: “I am a flight attendant, and I LOVE this organizer! I keep my iPad, passport, cords, paperwork, and hand sanitizer in here. It keeps me organized! Definitely recommend to anyone who travels and needs to keep organized.” —amazonislife
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes).
13. A trifold travel wallet that will hold all of your cards, money, and travel documents. It’s thin enough to slip into the tiniest of pouches, and this RFID-blocking case can help protect your sensitive information as you catch that last-minute red-eye flight back to your hometown.
The wallet has a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, three credit card slots, an ID slot, a slim card pouch, slim pocket, a ticket slot, a cellphone pouch, a coin zippered pocket, key holder, and pen holder.
Promising review: “This was a great travel wallet to have on a recent overseas trip. I have no idea if that RFID stuff actually works, but the zippers were easy to use, and the wallet snapped securely. Just the right amount of pockets and didn’t add too much bulk to my carrying bag! Simple design, decently made and a good buy.” —nostalgia88
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 27 colors).
14. And a waterproof family travel document holder for the parent of the friend group (or just parent in general), who needs to keep the whole party’s passports and boarding passes safe on their travels — so that one friend doesn’t accidentally misplace their documents while going through security.
Promising review: “I took my kids on their first international trip, and this thing was a total lifesaver. It fits easily in a fanny pack or small purse for easy access, and it fits my whole family’s passports, vaccine cards, boarding passes, and a pen with plenty of room for cash and cards if you decide to use it as a wallet for your trip. It made getting checked in a breeze and helped my family keep everything organized.” —Kevin Garcia
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in five colors).
15. A bendy travel pillow so you can get some rest (without hurting or straining your neck), no matter how awkward those budget airline or even your car seats are situated.
Amazon
Promising review: “I’m a flight attendant, and I travel with this pillow all the time! In hotel rooms, I use it to support my neck, and on the plane, I use it to support my lumbar area. When I drive, it helps my lower back. I love that it has a liner that can be removed to wash. I bought my boyfriend one too, and it goes everywhere we do!” —Debbie
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors and three sizes).
16. A luggage-mounted cup caddy because the most important item on your travel day checklist is the Starbucks drink you pick up as a reward after braving the tedious security line. This just attaches right onto your suitcase and has two large pockets — perfect for carrying that breakfast sandwich you couldn’t resist ordering along with your favorite Refresher.
Promising review: “I’m a flight attendant, and I love this one! I love the Velcro ‘quick detachment.’ It’s the best! I had one before without the Velcro opening that just stretched over the handle, and it was a PAIN! This one is great! There’s room for two large drinks and a slim pocket for my phone or wallet. Many people see it and ask where I got my clever little caddy!” —Debra G
Get it from Amazon for $11.39+ (available in 26 colors and patterns).
17. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount perfect for propping up your device during any long plane rides. The strong clamp can attach itself to just about anything — your seat tray, suitcase handle, etc. And the dual joints and 360-degree rotation allow for the best viewing angles! Now you don’t have to settle for absolute boredom when boarding those budget airlines that don’t have a screen.
Amazon
Promising review: “I used it on a round trip. It has a powerful and sturdy clip that will attach to almost anything. I didn’t have to attempt to balance it on the food tray or strain my neck. It remained at eye level and never attempted to sway or fall. I’d buy it again. Also, I’d consider it a stocking stuffer for a frequent traveler. This is definitely a thumbs-up!” —Kara
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in seven colors).
18. A Beis backpack you can zip open like a suitcase to fit enough clothes for your quick weekend getaway. Having this bag on hand is KEY if you’re trying to take as many outfits as physically possible, while still keeping things light and compact enough to avoid baggage fees.
Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed
Elizabeth Lilly on our shopping team says: “I snagged this backpack after hearing my colleague Chelsea Stuart sing its praises. I had a trusty (now discontinued) InCase backpack I used as a personal item and served me well on dozens of trips for about five years. But I wanted a bag for some upcoming travel (2.5 weeks in Europe with *just* carry-on for five flights) that opens up like a suitcase for easier packing. Since buying, I’ve taken it on two long weekend trips (Amtrak to Newport, Rhode Island, for a wedding and regional train to a Connecticut country lake house) with no complaints. In fact, for both of those trips, I packed MORE than I needed.
Inside, you’ll find a mesh zippered pocket and a plastic pocket perfect for your toiletries. I can fit enough wet toilet toiletries in the second pocket as I’d be allowed to carry on for a plane. In the mesh pocket, I put other necessities like cotton swabs, medicine, eyeglasses, etc. The main compartment is deceptively deep, so you can easily roll clothes and Lego-fit them in together without using packing cubes. In fact, I fit all of the stuff in the second picture in that section (a romper, PJs, a bikini, sunscreen, five pairs of undies, a pair of jean shorts, nap dress, three pairs of socks, two pairs of sandals, two T-shirts, a slip skirt, sleep mask, curling iron, mini flat iron, makeup bag, and tote bag). AND it has stretchy X-straps to keep it all secure like you’d see in a roller suitcase so when I unzip it, everything stays put. But before I forget, there’s a separate cushioned laptop pocket close to the backpack straps that I found works well for books or a Kindle if your travel leaves you laptop-less.
I love that this backpack has DEEP side pockets so your umbrella or water bottle won’t fall out. In fact, I stuck a flashlight and an umbrella in one side pocket. (You could always use a flashlight.) Plus! It has a generously sized pocket on the front of the backpack with easy access for sunglasses, snacks, writing pens…all sorts of those little extras you need to access quickly. To top it all off, the backpack straps and top handle are STURDY. I felt totally secure toting it around and slinging it into overhead storage compartments on the trains. I love the look and construction of it with faux leather and sturdy black canvas, and the trolley pass-through to easily fit on my roller suitcase, which I’m about to drag through a bunch of airports. At nearly $80, this isn’t the cheapest backpack option, but if you’re a frequent traveler, you’ll get so much mileage on it and seriously save on some baggage fees, making it well worth the cost. This backpack and I are going places, for sure.”
Get it from Beis Travel for $118 (available in seven colors).
19. A Belkin 3-in-1 Apple MagSafe travel charger so you don’t have to debate which of your precious chargers you need to leave behind while on vacation — because carrying three separate wires takes up a ridiculous amount of space. This can charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once.
Belkin
This comes with the foldable charging pad, a USB-C wire, the adapter, and a carrying case.
As a certified tech geek, it’s honestly obscene how many gadgets and subsequently, chargers I own. But this one, perhaps, may be my absolute favorite one. This baby is the very first thing tossed and packed into every single luggage I own, there is literally no way I’m traveling without it.
My husband and I are notorious for fighting over the incredibly limited outlet space in hotels and cruises — we both are heavily reliant on our devices and require our gadgets to always be fully juiced up. All the fights have ceased since we’ve gotten this travel charger.
It’s compact (so it doesn’t take up too much space in my luggage), and charges incredibly fast — like, my devices will be fully charged much quicker than any other brand I’ve tried. Overall, I simply adore this charger!
Get it from Amazon for $84.99 or from Belkin for $99.99 (origibally $134.95; also available in a 2-in-1 option).
20. A Pashmina scarf you can use as a cutesy travel accessory, a comfy blanket or pillow, a wrap, a nursing cover, or even a shield from the sun since it’s got UPF 50+ protection! You’re about to drape this around your neck before every trip.
Promising review: “I absolutely love this wrap!! It is the perfect weight and size for travel. It didn’t leave my side on an 11-day backpack trip through Europe and was used as a scarf, blanket, towel, and wrap all throughout the trip. Fashionable enough to dress up a basic travel day outfit, warm enough to keep away a chill on a cooler night, and light enough to pack away small into a bag or tie around a purse strap. I can’t say enough great things! I am buying these as gifts for everyone I know who travels.” —Jenn
Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in 11 colors).
21. Or a nursing scarf with a magnetic snap mechanism so you can feed your little one in absolute style. Drape this scarf around your neck, or keep it on hand, decorating your diaper bag, so you can nurse your baby absolutely anywhere without fear of it clashing with your perfect travel look.
Piolina
Say hello to one of my new favorite parenting products!! As a breastfeeding mom, with a baby who is always looking to feed, I’m constantly finding myself either nursing or pumping in public. The previous covers I was using were both as conspicuous as they were… shall we say… not the prettiest?? I was also always worried that the previous cover I had was not providing the proper coverage I needed. And then I got this scarf.
It has a magnetic snap design that keeps the scarf secure around my neck, so I don’t need to worry about my daughter snatching the cover off me. It’s deceptively large and covers absolutely what it needs to! Plus, it’s So. Freaking. Pretty!!! Finally, a mom-necessity that actually elevates my outfit instead of ruining it! It’s the perfect accessory — I keep it around the handle of my diaper bag because it looks beautiful there, and it ensures that I always have it on hand. I even took it on a few trips, and I’ve gotten a ton of compliments every time I use it.
It’s literally motherhood made chic.
Promising review: “I’m genuinely in love! I’ve had my eye on this scarf for a while and decided to buy it for myself for Mother’s Day. We spent the day by a trendy pool in Hollywood with my 2-month-old baby, and it was such a great accessory. I was able to comfortably breastfeed throughout the day while looking chic. I love how soft & light it is while offering the perfect amount of coverage.” —Hana L.
Get it from Piolina for $82 (available in three colors).
22. A digital luggage scale so you’re not zipping open your bulky suitcase right there on the floor of the airport’s check-in counter and trying to stuff three different jeans into your son’s backpack. Bring this puppy wherever the adventure takes you, and never have to worry about paying those exorbitant oversized baggage fees again!
You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements.
Here’s what BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this: “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).
23. A travel jewelry case for storing your absolute *best* of friends. This box has seven slot rolls and three rectangular compartments, so you can store anything from rings to earrings to necklaces! Don’t deal with the stress of misplacing any of your favorite pieces within your mountain of clothes — these will keep those gorgeous earrings on hand for date night.
Promising review: “I purchased this box for a weekend getaway. In the past, I have just thrown all of my jewelry into little makeup bags, but then everything gets tangled and disorganized. I love that this box keeps everything organized and leaves all my necklaces tangle-free!” —Dogmom206
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in seven colors).
24. And the Ring Thing — a ~waterproof~ case that’ll keep your most precious jewels safe and secure whenever you want to take a quick dip in the pool. This can clip onto your bag or reusable water bottle for easy access, because the worst thing that can happen on your honeymoon is losing your gorgeous wedding ring just days after saying “I do”. 💍
Amazon
The Ring Thing comes from BringThings, Inc., a woman-owned company dedicated to making “stylish, functional products.” They donate a portion of each sale to anti-human trafficking non-profits.
Promising review: “I take my wedding ring off at night when I go to bed. When I’m at home, I put it in a ring dish. But whenever I am traveling, I’m always afraid that I might forget it or it might get knocked onto the floor, and I won’t be able to find it. So this works perfectly for me. Since it has a clip on it, I attach it inside my bathroom bag, and the problem is solved. My rings are safe and secure and won’t be forgotten.” —CG
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in 15 colors).
25. A Cybex Coya travel stroller so your stroller doesn’t get damaged or — heavens forbid — lost when tossed around in your airport’s baggage claim. This is the perfect travel stroller to have once your little one is able to hold themselves up since it can easily be compacted, has a built-in carrying handle, can fit in a plane’s overhead compartment, AND is customizable. Luxury meets convenience.
Samar Hadri / BuzzFeed
This travel stroller is super customizable — you can mix and match the metal of the stroller as well as the color, so you can choose the perfect combination for you.
I love this stroller with every fiber of my being. Now, there may be other travel strollers that are cheaper out there, but believe me, none as comfy and as luxurious as this. Driving this around the airport when I went to NYC, I’m not gonna lie, I almost felt too fancy. My daughter was comfy in the stroller the entire time (and I’m the type of traveler that’s there at least a solid three hours early), which is actually super impressive considering she’s currently in the “fight for freedom all day, every day” stage.
Traveling with a baby is hard, and if this is your first, you’re definitely gonna realize pretty darn quickly how difficult it is when compared to your pre-baby life. This stroller has made it so easy for me. I don’t have to worry about the airline sending my checked-in stroller to the baggage claim (thus forcing me to carry a heavy baby for like half an hour), nor do I have to worry about it getting damaged when tossed with other luggage. This easily folds, has a carrying handle built in so I don’t have to worry about bringing a separate carrying case, and is super easy to open up when it’s time to exit the flight. I can’t state enough how much I love this.
Get it from Cybex for $599.95 (available in a variety of colors and customizations).
26. And a Wildbird Aerial Carrier because trying to go through security with a baby is HARD, and this baby will make it a whole lot easier. This carrier is so much more comfortable than any others, easy to put on, and comes in such cute colors!
Wildbird
As a mom of an (at the time of writing this) one-year-old, I can fully say that traveling with a baby is NOT easy. Like at all. Especially if you’re traveling alone without help. This carrier made it a whole lot easier for me. When going through security, you have to fold up your stroller and put it through the X-ray. Now imagine doing that, also putting your luggage through it, AND holding a baby at the same time. Honestly, it would have been impossible for me to do so if I hadn’t strapped her to me while I was still in line, since it gave me freedom to use my hands without worry of my daughter slipping out. Plus, it’s easy to take on and off, can be folded down compactly, and is super comfortable to wear for long periods of time!
Promising review: “Hands down the best carrier. I’ve gotten four other brands. This one is my favorite. Already shopping for a different color!” —Megan B.
Get it from Wildbird for $188 (available in two sizes and dozens of colors).
27. A Casetify travel-themed phone case to protect your phone from all the hazards that come from your vacation adventures. It’s surprisingly light, so freaking cute, and will keep your phone safe as you run through the terminal as fast as possible because you’re totally about to miss your connecting flight.
Casetify
You can even get a crossbody strap to keep your phone close to you at all times when traveling!
Soooo, I’m a pretty clumsy person. Like I’m notorious for dropping my phone. I lost count of how many times my poor phone has tumbled down the stairs in the last month. While traveling, I especially want my phone protected, because if something happens to it while I’m across the ocean, I wouldn’t even know where to begin getting it fixed. Plus, a broken phone will put a whole damper on the vacation thing. Using this case while traveling, I was able to see why these phone cases are popular.
First off, they’re so cute!! I’ve gotten compliments over it all summer long. Secondly, I dropped my phone while zipping across the Sahara desert in an ATV, and when I went back to check on it, I was ridiculously surprised to find that my phone didn’t have a single crack!! Honestly, we spend so much money on these phones; a good case is a worthy investment.
Get it from Casetify for $50+ (available in dozens of sizes, an option for an ultra-bounce corner, and five colors.
28. A set of Cadence containers for holding all of your needed toiletries together without hogging all the room in your luggage. They’re super sturdy, leak-proof, and even work great for a few days’ worth of vitamins or holding small jewelry.
Cadence
Each set comes with four large containers and three small — with labeled, interchangeable tiles: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer, cleanser, pill icon, and one blank tile.
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.
BuzzFeed writer 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.”
Get a set from Amazon for $138.
29. Banana Republic linen pants so lightweight and airy, you’re bound to wear them on the plane, on your entire vacation, in literally every picture you take. Honestly, the only problem you’ll have is choosing which color to get. And definitely make sure you snag the matching button-up, too.
Banana Republic
Say hello to the outfit of the year. I live in Florida, and even when it’s not summer, it’s incredibly hot. I’ve been wearing this outfit pretty much daily for the last month, and let me tell you, I’ve been getting compliments wherever I go. It’s lightweight, it’s airy, and it’s perfect for those scorching temperatures. They’re so easy to mix and match with other clothes, and it’s bound to get some heads turning your way when you weave in and out of the streets of your destination.
Get it from Banana Republic for $49.99+ (available in women’s sizes XXS—XXL, including tall and petite sizes, and nine colors).
30. The new On Cloud 6 sneakers, beloved by nurses, doctors, teachers, and travelers (really anyone who finds themselves on their feet for most of the day). They’re super cushiony, so it’ll feel like you’re ~walking on clouds~ as you strut around your destination, sporting one of the dreamy colors of your choice.
On
Say hello to the pair of sneakers that has snuggly kept me comfy over three continents and a month of heavy walking this summer. I am notorious for hating closed-toed shoes, like I legit never wear them. These sneakers are the only ones I happily slip onto my feet with zero complaint. I’ve taken these hiking across the Atlas mountains, dirt bike racing through the Sahara Desert, sail boating through the Mediterranean, and spending hours upon hours exploring the streets of Barcelona. Yet they still look brand. freaking. new.
I’ve even taken these sneakers to Comic Con, spending four days straight on my feet with very little sitting downtime, and my feet have stayed comfy the entire time. Honestly, these are straight up the best shoes you can hope to get.
Get it from On for $160 (available in women’s sizes 5–12, men’s sizes 7–15, and 12 colors).

Promising review: “I love that this product is an all-in-one! It saves me so much space when I travel, and the products are high-quality, too. The lightest brow pencil is still a little dark for blondes like me, but the other shades complement me perfectly. I like the lip liner the best; it easily elevates a simple lip look!” —Sam

33. The Cybex Callisto G 360 because anyone with a baby can tell you the importance of having a comfortable car seat if they’re spending any prolonged period of time in a moving vehicle. It has a 360-degree swivel to make it easy for loading and unloading your bundle of joy, sensors that tell you if the car seat is too hot/cold for the baby, and reminders that are sent to your phone if the clip has been on too long and the baby could use a quick stretch break!

Say hello to the car seat that’s gotten me through multiple 20-hour road trips. It’s honestly ridiculous how much better this car seat is when compared to any others on the market. First off, it’s gorgeous. Second, it’s so freaking comfortable, even I would snuggle into it if I could fit! Third, the temperature sensors are amazing, especially if you’re like me and live somewhere very, very hot. Honestly, the convenience of the smooth 360-degree swivel alone is worth the price.
Promising review: “I was given this product in exchange for my honest review. My family is a CYBEX family, and we absolutely LOVE the Callisto G 360 car seat! It has a luxury/high-end look & feel to it, and must be as comfortable as it looks because my daughter rarely slept in the car past the newborn stage, and now she easily falls asleep if we’re traveling during her nap time. The convenience of the 360 swivel will never have you go back to a non-swivel again. From loading/unloading our daughter, or being parked and needing to turn her to see me while I wait for my wife to return from an errand, the car seat is a dream! Plus, with it being a grow-with-me from birth to toddlerhood, it’s truly a cost-effective purchase that you should not sleep on!! 10/10 recommend!” —Ted P.
Get it from Cybex for $749.95 (available in five colors).

Promising review: “I love this bag! I bought it as my 5-year-old’s carry-on for our Disney vacation, and it was perfect — the perfect size for keeping her five princess dresses clean, relatively wrinkle-free, organized, and containing the glitter from the rest of her stuff! I tend to overpack, and I still had room left after packing five days’ worth of her stuff!” —daisy
