Wonhox Travel Duffel Bag
Amazon
I love that this waterproof travel duffel keeps everything organized without being bulky. It has a roomy main compartment, plus a separate pocket for dirty clothes, which makes it perfect for weekend getaways or carry-on only travelers. My favorite feature, though, is the trolley sleeve. I love when travel bags allow you to securely slip them over rolling luggage handles so it’s easier to navigate through airports.
Apple AirTag
Amazon
This small and smart device is slender enough to slip into your suitcase or wallet to help you keep track of your belongings. I love it because it connects straight to iPhone’s “Find My” app, so I can see my luggage’s whereabouts at all times.
Linsery 2-piece Matching Set
Amazon
When it comes to looking stylish and comfortable on travel days, I love to reach for outfits like this two-piece matching set because it helps me avoid the I-just-rolled-out-of-bed” look while still feeling comfortable. The oversized sweater and relaxed-fit pants also easily match with other items in my luggage. It’s the kind of set that feels put together without requiring a ton of effort, which makes it a travel-day essential in my book.
Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneakers
Amazon
As a frequent flier, I love the all-day comfort that my Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneakers provide. These shoes are made with arch support and cushioning, so I can travel comfortably, even when I’m running for flights or standing in long customs lines for hours. Plus, the all-white color is easy to match with tons of outfits.
Travel Inspira Portable Luggage Scale
Amazon
Few things stress me out more than discovering my suitcase is overweight when I’m already at the airport, but this mini luggage scale helps me avoid that. The digital screen gives an instant, accurate readout so I can check my bag’s weight before I even leave home. Its compact size makes it easy to tuck into my carry-on so that I can also use it before flying home (and after picking up a few souvenirs) to make sure my bag is still within the weight limit to avoid a fee.
Doqaus Bluetooth Over-ear Headphones
Amazon
Having over-the-ear headphones while traveling is a must for me to drown out unwanted noise. This wireless pair makes the journey so much smoother with its noise-canceling feature that blocks out the buzz of airports and planes, and cushioned ear pads that stay comfortable through long flights. I also love that they fold down into a compact pouch, making them easy to stash in my carry-on without taking up too much space.
Hongsui Wide-leg Palazzo Pants
Amazon
I’ve been leaning into the track pants fall trend—they’re sporty, cozy, and stylish—and this pair at Amazon nails the vibe. According to a shopperthe soft fabric is “perfect for lounging or running errands” but looks polished enough to wear out. The relaxed silhouette says “pajamas,” but the details make them a fashion-forward fall outfit choice.
Hetp 2-Pack Portable Chargers
Amazon
When your phone inevitably runs out of juice, one of these small chargers can deliver enough power to fill your battery. The compact design makes them easy to slip into a purse, carry-on, or pocket. Plus, getting two for the price of one means you have a backup when you’re in the woods or any time you don’t have an outlet nearby.
Aovdy 9-piece Packing Cubes Storage Bags
Amazon
Packing cubes like this 9-piece set have really become a must for my packing game. The cubes keep everything organized and easy to find so I can avoid having to dig through my suitcase; I love that the mesh panels allow you to spot what’s inside quickly and Amazon shoppers agree, with one writing“great variety of sizes, smooth zippers, and easy to see items through the mesh.”
Tumi Just in Case Backpack
This sleek travel backpack is designed to fold completely flat into its own zip pouch, making it the perfect backup to stash inside your main luggage. Plus, it’s super lightweight with one shopper raving about how it’s still roomy enough to hold their laptop, water bottle, notepad, snacks, and pens.
Cluci Crossbody Bag
Amazon
I always love having a crossbody bag when traveling internationally—it lets me keep my essentials close and safe. This bag is compact and includes multiple zippered compartments to hold a passport, phone, wallet, and more, all without being bulky. Plus, I adore the patterned adjustable strap that adds a touch of flair to the bag.
She’s Birdie Personal Safety Alarm
Amazon
One of my favorite TikTok-viral travel safety devicesthis little gadget is able to emit a powerful 130-decibel siren and flashes a bright light that will draw the attention of anyone nearby, scaring off potential pickpockets or sinister strangers. Since it’s so compact, it’s easy to travel with, and it can be clipped to most bags for easy access when you need it.
Level8 24-inch Hardside Luggage
Amazon
I believe that a suitcase should do more than survive travel wear and tear—it should look good too. That’s why I’m drawn to this hardside suitcase with a near five-star rating at Amazon. The hard shell exterior keeps your essentials secure while its streamlined silhouette also makes it one of the more stylish options you’ll find at the baggage carousel. Not to mention it’s gotten praise from shoppers, like “rolls like a dream and super durable.”
Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet
Amazon
Think of this Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet as the travel-savvy Kindle’s cool cousin. You can carry your entire library to read while traveling without the bulk (or weight) of physical books, and switch over to streaming your favorite shows or listening to podcasts when you need a book break. With a battery life of up to 13 hours, according to the brand, this tablet is built to keep you entertained on long flights, layovers, and cozy nights spent at hotels.
iDreamegg Portable Noise Machine
Amazon
As an NYC-based travel writer, I can sleep through just about anything. But for those few disturbances that do keep me from getting some shut-eye, I’m eyeing this compact sound machine. It’s small enough to fit in my palm, and lightweight enough to toss into a carry-on. With multiple soothing sound options, I can create a personal sleep experience wherever I am in the world.
