1
A 2-in-1 travel blanket and pillow
Promising review: "I bought this product before taking a six-hour flight, and it was a lifesaver. The pillow has a strap behind it to put it on your luggage so that it doesn't have to be carried. Very convenient when traveling. The blanket kept me warm on the plane and when the blanket is folded into the pillow it is also comfortable. Would definitely recommend." Robynn
2
A pack of mini toothbrushes
Promising review: "These are a game-changer. I wear retainers and travel often, so I dont always have access to a bathroom/sink to brush my teeth. All you have to do is bite down and brush. No water, no gargling or spitting, and no mess." Carlo

A clever luggage strap
Promising review: "I love this little gadget. I used it to attach my jacket and computer bag to my luggage on an extended business trip. It made my airport walks so much easier. Now that I'm back home, I've been using it daily to attach my jacket or cardigan to my work bag or purse." Michele
4
A pair of memory foam shoe inserts guaranteed to put a lil' pep back in your step
Promising review: "Bought these so I could walk comfortably in boots and boooooy were these GREAT! Went on a trip and walked all over Paris and London dawn to dusk three days in a row and my feet were walking on clouds! Best purchase I've made in a while." Anna Juneby
5
A set of wildly popular wireless, waterproof Bluetooth earbuds
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 45 hours of total playtime (with the earbuds able to play for 10+ hours on a single charge!).

I was one of those people still walking around with a cord dangling from my ears because I could never find a wireless pair that worked for me. Enter these life-changing earbuds! I tried all the different silicone ear tips included and got the perfect fit. I use them for both listening to music/podcasts and talking on the phone. The sound quality is amazing and I have to charge these MAYBE once a week depending on how much I use them. I'm never going back to AirPods... or dangly wires.

Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! " Kate Arnold

Or wireless headband headphones
The headband has a breathable mesh lining on the inside with hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking material to keep you comfortable while you wear them. The soft, stretchy material is designed to fit most head sizes. The headband is machine washable, too! Simply remove the control pod before putting it in the washing machine.

Promising review: "My husband and I travel a lot! I bought each of us one for our last cruise. They were a Godsend! The headband is easy to use and holds a charge for days. We were able to Bluetooth to our own devices. They are comfortable enough to sleep in, we slept with ours on every night for the seven-day cruise. We find ourselves using them a lot here at home as well. The material is comfortable and breathable. I don't think it would keep your ears very warm in the cold but I also don't think the material is thick enough for you to sweat in either. Overall we are both very pleased and plan to purchase some for Christmas and birthday gifts." Jenn S.

High-waisted pocket leggings
Promising review: "If youre on the fence about buying these leggings, DO IT. I bought a black pair (plus size) to see how theyd fit and let me tell you! I have wide hips, big thighs, and a large behind, and these leggings fit perfectly! Even better, THEY ARE NOT SEE-THROUGH when I bend over!! Ive never found leggings that werent sheer when I bent over before! I bought eight more in different colors and they all are the same quality! I love them so much that over a year later I bought two more black pairs!! I recommend these leggings to everyone I hear talking about the difficulties of finding good leggings. I swear I wear these to work three times a week, at least. I love them!!" hali howard
8
Or some soft, hybrid leggings and joggers that'll feel like comfy pajamas
Promising review: "I work from home and now I only want to wear these pants. They are super comfy and very versatile. Perfect for a casual look, working out, traveling, or as just mentioned, working from home. Definitely my new fave." Alejandra V.
9
An inflatable travel pillow
Promising review: "I travel often. As much as I try, I cannot sleep on a plane. With this new pillow, I can. My favorite is that I can lean forward with the pillow's support, which is a very comfortable and relaxing position! Especially on long international flights. You can have a nice nap in this position or watch something on your phone. The perfect position pillow." Brenda
10
Portable soap paper sheets
Promising review: "I saw these all over TikTok and since I'm going on a road trip across the states, I thought why not? We all know those rest stops that run out of soap so you either use hand sanitizer (if you're lucky) or wet your hands with just water to trick your conscience into thinking you didn't just leave a dirty bathroom without washing your hands. The sheets are super thin but when you wet them, they create so much lather. I probably stared at my hands in disbelief for a good solid 10 seconds. They definitely feel clean and the smell is a light floral type. I definitely recommend these to have with you regardless what you are doing that day. Plus, these little guys are super tiny and can go into the tiniest purses or even your pockets in your jeans." Cookie Monster
11
And some laundry soap sheets
Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops at places with different types of weather. With these laundry soap sheets, I was able to wash my clothes in the sink letting me pack just the right amount of clothes for all the different places I went." Katie Fujarski
12
A luggage-mounted cup caddy
Check out this TikTok of the cup caddy in action.

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
13
An in-flight phone mount
Check out a TikTok of the in-flight phone mount in action!

Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" Earendil
14
Body Glide anti-blister balm
Check out a TikTok of the anti-blister balm in action!

Promising reviews: "Saw this product on a TikTok review and thought to give it a go. I definitely say it causes new shoes to be less painful however if you apply a lot it can be a little transferable on shoes. Overall though I think this product is definitely worth it and it does make a difference with new shoe wear!" Mich Elle

"This is a MUST if you're breaking in new flats. Helps prevent blisters. So easy and simple, yet effective." Amazon Customer
15
A rechargeable, double-sided hand warmer
The hand warmer takes just two minutes to reach a toasty 107 degrees Fahrenheit!

Promising review: "Quick to warm up and fits perfectly in the palm of my hand, and the flashlight is handy when I'm looking for something in the bottom of my bag." Sone
16
Or a handheld mini fan
It's USB rechargeable with two speed options!

See a TikTok of the handheld mini fan in action.

Promising review: "Bought this after seeing it on TikTok, and wow. Where has this been all my life? A portable charger (extra, because I already have one), a fan with two settings (this kept me cool during my brothers outdoor college graduation), and a flashlight (perfect for finding my phone when I drop it in my car). Its a great little thing that adds that extra EXTRA-ness to your life." Angie
17
Silicone earplugs when you desperately need to block out sound
Promising review: "I have to first say, I had a few steps in my anti-ear popping process. First, I took a decongestant starting 48 hours before my flight going by the regiment on the box. The day before my flight, I used Debrox to unclog my ears according to the regiment on the box. The day of my flight I put the Earplanes in while we were on the ground and kept them in the entire flight. When I say I had NO EAR POPPING!!! I was on a long flight with a layover, and for the first leg, I had a little popping (like a painless crackle), but for the rest of the flight and the return, I had absolutely no popping. For one of my flights. I didnt even realize we were landing because I was watching movies with no pain! I have used ear plugs before but there is something about Earplanes that set them apart from regular ear plugs. I normally get really painful popping (I mean scared to sneeze or cough because they hurt so bad), but I had absolutely no pain. I will be using this combination EVERY TIME I fly from now on." jahnese
18
A portable white noise machine
Promising review: "NEED!!! This little sound machine is amazing. The sound is surprisingly loud for how small it is!!! We sleep with one every night. This little guy is perfect for fitting in luggage and helping to block out any sounds from the resort. Get it!" LexK
19
Flushable toilet seat covers
Promising review: "These are perfect to take when traveling, because you never know if youre gonna come across a nasty bathroom. Theyre compact and they come in packs of 10, so they're small enough to put in your bag or even your pocket." ChrisB_DZ
20
Reusable Sea-Bands if you want to live your best wanderlust life without motion sickness
For more info on how to use acupressure for nausea management, check out this guide from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center .

Promising review: "I have always suffered from motion sickness. My whole life I have hated long car rides, even short car rides. As soon as I get in the car and buckle in, I already feel the nausea. I bought these for a 16-hour road trip, and they worked 100%. I felt perfectly comfortable the whole way through. I could even watch movies and text on my phone and feel alright. My two daughters suffer from the same thing (ages 1 and 3) to the point where they couldn't keep any food down. The kids bands worked for them 100% of the time, too. 10/10 recommend. I'll be buying more for sure." Veronica
21
A memory foam seat cushion
Promising review: "On long car trips I always ended up squirming around trying to get comfortable and ease the pressure on my tailbone. This cushion has changed all that and I no longer have that problem. Ill probably get another one for the home office. Great find!" Izzy P.
22
And a stick-on shade, which will def come in handy on road trips when the sun is just way too bright
Promising review: "These shades work great. With a freshly cleaned window, they stick to the glass quickly, even in Arizona. They fold up easily and stay on indefinitely." Brad
23
Gyan Yankovich / BuzzFeed
A pair of compression socks
Read more about compression socks and long flights at Cleveland Clinic .

Promising review: "These socks do the job and have become essential travel gear for my wife and me. They help prevent tired and bloated feet and legs on long flights and ensure our feeling safe from the attendant risks of poor circulation from lack of movement on these fights (which we take regularly). Have immediately purchased pairs for friends." Burt
24
Or a shorter pair of compression foot sleeves
Read more about how a lack of arch support can aggravate plantar fasciitis at the American Podiatric Medical Association .

Promising review: "I went on my first walk in years without pain the second day of trying these socks! I had almost given up trying to relieve the intense burning/soreness due to my plantar fasciitis, but I decided to try one last product. These socks have already changed my life and have allowed me to start working out again! Highly recommend." Emily
25
A roll-on migraine stick for a quick fix when a headache hits
Promising review: "Ive had migraines all my life Im 31 now. Ive been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... Ive been using this stick for one week now, and its amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I havent taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." Amanda Braswell
26
And a tiny travel face ice roller
Promising review: "I bought this because I wake up in the morning with very puffy eyes and my jaw is always sore from overnight grinding. Im not going to say this is a cure all, but it is extremely soothing to roll on the skin. It isnt excessively cold to where my skin burns when using it, and its small and slim enough to pop in luggage when traveling." Liz
27
An adventure-friendly fanny pack
Promising review: "Very happy with my purchase. Got this for my trip to Colombia. I was looking at more expensive fanny packs but settled on this for the reviews. Its very well-made for the price. It withstood many hikes to waterfalls, horseback riding, and city tours among others. I wore it as shown in the picture and love the fact that theres a pocket thats hidden that sits on my chest at all times where I kept my passport, extra cash, and travel documents. I was able to fit my camera, iPhone, earbuds, shades, charger, and a couple of other knickknacks without a problem. Wasnt a fanny pack guy before now but Im a believer LOL." IWG MD
28
Some travel-size hand sanitizer bottles
Promising review: "Bought for international travel. Just the right size to pass airport security. Lightweight so easy to pop in pockets to carry daily.

And it must have helped as I didnt catch a cold either during or after traveling. Used in conjunction with anti-bacterial wipes." laurence r stevens
29
And a resealable pack of antibacterial wipes
Promising review: "As a flight attendant I always need wipes. These small packs are great for putting in your purse and having on the go. The bundle pack is a great value." SJ1326
30
A slouchy beanie to ensure maximum warmth
There's also an adorable pom-pom version of this hat!

Promising review: "This beanie went with me everywhere this winter. If it wasnt on my head, it was in my purse. I love the slouchiness of it, its very warm. The inside is a soft velour, its well made and durable, and it stretches to fit any size head. I plan to purchase this in additional colors for next winter." Elizabeth
31
Or a packable sun visor for staying stylish in the sun if you're exchanging winter weather for a tropical vacation
The wide brim provides much more UV protection than regular caps!

Promising review: "I have long hair and always avoided hats because I hate having my hair sweating against my neck in a low bun or ponytail. With this sun visor-summer hat combo, I can keep my hair in a top knot and still keep my face and neck protected from the sun while catching a nice breeze. This is perfect (although a little large in circumference and I have a big head 7 3/4 hat size) and its adjustable and can fit any head size. It rolls up well and has an elastic to keep it rolled. Ill be recommending this item to all my friends!" Amazon Customer
32
Finally, a packable rain jacket that'll save some major space in your suitcase
Promising review: "So comfy and an amazing windbreaker! Bought this for my trip to Scotland and it was perfect. It is waterproof and kept me warm even though its lightweight." Makayla Scott

It comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide and a manual. Twelve South is a small business that has been creating innovative tech accessories since 2009.

Promising review: "Someone sitting next to me on a flight had this product so I asked them about it and it was highly recommended so I bought it. I love being able to use my Blutooth Bose noise-cancelling headphones with the movies on board. The sound quality is 100 times better than the plug headphones that are required if you dont have this product. I would definitely buy again!!" Monica Buterbaugh

An ergonomic neck pillow(02 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I am a terrible flyer who recently took the red-eye from Dubai to Chicago (15 hours). The Trtl pillow was a mini lifesaver! I was able to comfortably rest my head on the support and felt warm enough to actually doze off...a rare accomplishment for this skittish flyer. The Velcro works wonderfully with regards to adjustment, and I liked wrapping the fabric around my mouth and nose. Sort of felt cozy...even if I did look like a ninja in a neck brace! Overall, this product has changed the way that I fly, and I am so thankful for this invention and the opportunity to support a small company with big ideas." S.Viruly

A mini lightweight flat iron(03 of36)

It also comes with a heat-resistant pouch for easy carrying!

Promising review: "I got this nice little and compact hair straightener for my trip to the beach. It is small and lightweight. Perfect for a trip. It heats up really fast, with in seconds it is very hot. It comes with a pouch to tuck it away in. You do need to move slowly through your hair because the heated part is small but it does a good job. I made a little video to show how nice it is. Also I like the comfort of the design to hold it. Fits nicely in my hand. Not heavy like the bigger bulkier ones are. I took my time and shopped around for a travel one. I think this will be good to use every day. It doesnt take up much space either." Connie Cunningham

A three-pack of Tide To-Go stain removing pens(05 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "These were a lifesaver. I was walking to the bus and decided it was a great decision to drink coffee while walking. Like a scene from an infomercial, I spilled coffee all over my white shirt. Yes, the classic coffee on the white shirt. Luckily I had one of these in my bag (I put one in each of my most-used purses in anticipation of my clumsiness). I went into a store bathroom and quickly scrubbed the Tide To-Go on my shirt. All of the coffee blobs went away and once the awkward wet splotches dried up, my shirt was perfectly white again. You've got yourself a big fan, Tide." NAD

A "Pack This!" checklist(06 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I hate making lists trying to figure out what I need, and this is PERFECT for trying to figure that out. It has a lot more on the checklist than I would ever take on a trip, but it does accommodate for every kind a trip, from a simple vacation across state lines, to a business trip, to a wedding halfway around the world. I'm pretty pleased!" Alyssa Kauffman

A tri-fold travel wallet(07 of36)

The wallet has a passport pocket, boarding pass compartment, credit card slots, ID slot, slim card pouch, slim pocket, ticket slot, cellphone pouch, coin zippered pocket, key holder and pen holder. The all-in-one holder could also arguably be considered a cult-favorite travel product . It's available in 37 colors.

Promising review: "Guys, I'm beyond happy with this. I've been looking for a passport and ticket holder for a while but had never found the right size until I decided to try out this one. Besides, the material feels high quality and long-lasting, the red color is even better in person and it's wildly pretty." BazantSol

A waterproof phone pouch(08 of36)

Promising review: "The perfect product to protect my phone while Im in my hot tub. I always worry about dropping it, and this pouch will protect it from any moisture or any slips I might have while using my phone. Really nice product and a great price as well." Jayne (credit:amazon.com)

Promising review: "Stuff works so good!! A pair of flats that notoriously give me blisters are now back in the rotation. Love this stuff. Makes a great gift. Already recommended it to several friends and family members. Believe the hype!!" Debra Lee (credit:Amazon)
A portable door lock(10 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "My apartment door has a deadbolt but no lock on the door handle. The latch is also misplaced so if its not dead bolted anyone can just push my door open. Took a few tries to get this right but makes me feel much more secure and its easy to use when you get the hang of it! I also take this with me when traveling as it fits almost all doors. Definitely recommend." Anna

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

These work best with hand-washing!

Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops to places with different types of weather.

A carry-on friendly travel Gillette razor(14 of36)
Open Image Modal
It comes with one handle and five blade refills!

Promising review: "I got this for a vacation and it was great! The little carrying container is awesome, and keeps you from having a weird, loose razor floating around in your suitcase. Plus the heads are the same as a regular-sized razor, so you can keep using it when that one is worn out!" Tegan H

A hands-free rotating phone mount(15 of36)

Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra long haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface.

Four pocket-sized refillable travel perfume atomizers(16 of36)
Open Image Modal
That's me pumping my signature perfume into one of these travel atomizers that I've been using for about a year. As the reviewer below mentions, it's great to just throw in your purse on the reg for a fragrance re-up throughout the day. As you can see, it's about the size of my thumb and therefore takes up very little room. Plus, it's smaller than most rollerball travel fragrances.

Promising review: "I bought these due to traveling a lot for work and needing to cut down on the size of things in my carry-on bag for flying. I can bring four different perfumes now instead of one big one. Theyre super easy to fill, havent leaked so far but I keep them in a sandwich baggie while traveling just in case. I would 100% buy them again." Emily Rintamaki
(credit:Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed)
A mini steamer(17 of36)
Open Image Modal
This steamer's incredibly useful; it heats up in about 90 seconds, steams about five garments before needing to be refilled, and is all around perfect for anyone who doesn't want to wait too long or work too hard to get the wrinkles out.

Promising review: "This steamer is very compact, easy to use, and well-made. I am a flight attendant so this has helped my life tremendously. I never even pick up an iron anymore. It works extremely well on my uniform and also just to get wrinkles out of my clothes while on layovers. The best part is that it doesn't take up too much space in my bag. I hate ironing with a passion, so I am so glad that I found this product!" Amazon customer

A digital luggage scale(18 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "We use this in every trip to avoid paying for extra weight as we travel internationally quite often. I have tested in several ways and also always note the weigh number in the airport. After several trips, I can say that the accuracy of it is right within 2 lbs. I have it for almost two years and I am still using the same batteries." Cass Young

A bendy travel pillow(19 of36)

Promising review: "Im a flight attendant and I travel with this pillow all the time! In hotel rooms I use it to support my neck, 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

Promising review: "Late sleeper? Sometimes barely conscious as you rush to get ready for work and run to the car so you won't be late? Maaaybe forgot to brush your teeth even though you're supposed to be an adult? Yeah, me too. These things freshen and clean and a bag of them are always in my purse. Wish they sold them in giant bulk." Lindsay E Murdock (credit:amazon.com)
A set of eight vacuum-free space-saving compression bags(21 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "These were the things I never knew I needed for traveling. They work just as advertised and are really useful when going on a trip. I always hate at the end of a trip having to mix dirty and clean clothes a 'laundry bag' or plastic shopping bag never really felt like a good enough separation. These bags seal up and conceal the most stinky, wet clothes from your clean unused clothes. They are going to be one of my new necessities for my big family when traveling." Sarbello

A nifty gadget bag with tons of mesh pockets and elastic sleeves(22 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I cannot rate this storage organizer highly enough. Traveling with a family of four, you need so many cords for all the tablets, phones, headphones, etc. I had way too much fun organizing all of our cords, pens, pencils, passports, chargers, spare headphones in the case. This picture was of me just getting started on packing. I previously had an old Belkin with me, but needed more room. This is absolutely perfect, and you can fit four passports in the zippered pocket shown above." CRG SBS, CO (credit:amazon.com)
A rechargeable slim lighted mirror(23 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Perfect for traveling! And for staying in hotel! I hate having to stand in the bathroom or in the hall mirror with barely any lighting to do my makeup! This is perfect and easy to travel with and super easy to take on a plane! Very convenient!" Krystyna Montesino

Travel-sized packs of Wet Ones antibacterial wipes(24 of36)
Open Image Modal
This includes 10 packs that contain 20 wipes each.

Promising review:
Convenient and gentle wipes for on-the-go use! Being a mother of one, I often purchase large blocks of Wet Wipes for use at home. However, carrying them while on the go became increasingly heavy and inconvenient, so I decided to get these pocket wipes.Since these wipes are not specifically marketed for babies, I was initially concerned about potential irritation to my son's delicate skin. To my relief, these wipes proved to be extremely gentle and caused no adverse reactions whatsoever.One of the standout features of these wipes is the excellent seal that effectively locks in moisture. This ensures that the wipes stay fresh and moist even after being opened multiple times, making them perfect for travel or when you're out and about. Nodoka Sugiyama

Promising review: "These covered various sizes of products hair care, body wash, etc. Nothing leaked out of these whatsoever, even after a lid popped open during a flight.

Promising review:
"I took this bag on a 12-day trip with me, and I absolutely loved it! It can hold SO MUCH stuff. The zippers are high quality, the material appears durable so far. I stuffed it pretty full and never had any issues. The bottom compartment does take some adjusting to get used to, but once I figured out how I wanted to use it, I loved it. I put a couple of packing cubes with an extra change of clothes to help it hold its shape. This bag has SO many pockets, and so many possibilities. I loved the pouch that came with it as well. I am looking forward to many trips in the future with this bag!" Sarah

Promising review:
"Really cute and stylish hat. Just the right coverage on the face. Cute to wear at the beach or out out. Was looking for a stylish hat that I could dress up or down. This one fit the bill. Love the adjustable tab on the inside. I have a pretty large head and thick hair and it was loose enough to be comfortable but probably would have to tighten it up if its windy. Came packaged with a hard plastic insert to keep its shape. I ordered the one with a khaki ribbon. Love the neutral." Allen family

An add-a-bag luggage strap(31 of36)

Promising review: "I thought this was a bit gimmicky but I fell for it and gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised! One wears layers when traveling and I usually run hot. However I still need to carry a jacket for the cold planes or destination etc. I usually tie it around my waist (ugly I know) as a last resort or tuck it madly into my bag. I clipped this to my backpack and it held my jacket perfectly! Easily accessible and the jacket never drug or fell. It also worked well to clip my backpack to my luggage while in between flights." roxysea (credit:amazon.com)

Promising review: "Last few trips, I have found bourbon or wine but was not comfortable putting it in my travel luggage and TSA will not allow it in a carry-on. This product eliminated that concern and worked perfectly. I am definitely keeping one of these in a pocket of each piece of luggage I carry from now on." B. Creager (credit:amazon.com)

A pack of 20 individually wrapped Neutrogena makeup remover wipes(35 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I keep some in my purse and some in my travel bag. They are the best for sleepovers or weekends away. Its hard to find wipes that dont burn my eyes cuz I wear heavy eye makeup but these dont give me any irritation. Each pack is a single wipe and I took one to my best friend's birthday the other night all I needed was one to get all my makeup off." Gabrielle Homberg (credit:amazon.com)
A voltage converter(36 of36)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I love the unit because it has numerous outlets and can be plugged into any outlet on the planet by simply switching out the plugs! As a professional pilot who travels the globe, this is so helpful because the other dinky smaller converters still need an adapter and they are flimsy as they sort of hang or droop from the wall, while still needing a book or something to support them when plugged into an outlet. The Sokoo unit doesnt need any of that at all! It rests firmly and allows you to plug numerous items into it all in one compact unit!" Harold Katinszky (credit:amazon.com)
