This travel bag truly does it all when it comes to your makeup. It includes a removable pouch and plenty of slots for makeup brushes, lipsticks, and other products—perfect for organization galore.

Keep your jewelry safe and secure with this adorable box. There are slots for rings, removable dividers, hooks for necklaces (no more tangles!), and a teeny-tiny mirror. Plus, the velvet exterior feels super luxe.

Keeping your phone close to your body is always ideal while traveling. This baby bag has a slot for a phone as well as credit cards slips and a tiny zippered pocket (stash a few bills or even a room key here).

Are you always cold? Treat yourself to this stunning scarf that doubles as a wrap or blanket for chilly airplanes and cool hotel rooms.

“We all have a friend who carries a sizable amount of stuff around on a daily basis. (I’m talking to you, Gayle!),” Oprah said when picking this tote for her 2022 Favorite Things. She says it’s the perfect size and—bonus—it’s made from vegan leather.

Sometimes you just have to travel with your furry friend—and when you do, they’ll love this unique carrying case. The innovative details range from a shoulder strap that doubles as a leash to the removable fleece-lined dog bed. There’s also a carabiner for your doggie bag holder and various storage pockets.

Packing toiletries, from liquid face wash to lotion, in TSA-compliant containers is typically a nightmare. But you don’t have to worry with these adorable capsules. Each leakproof, airtight container holds up to 0.56 ounces of product, and you can customize the tiles on top to match whatever you want the capsule to hold. Plus, each is magnetic—a no-brainer for neat toiletry bags.

Forget bulky blow-dryers—the handle on this travel-friendly version folds in, and the cord retracts back into the handle to keep everything neat and tidy. Some reviewers note the retractable cord stops working after extended use, but you should be able to prolong the life by retracting it slowly (rather than letting it quickly snap back into place).

It’s nearly impossible to keep clothes from wrinkling in a suitcase, so rather than fight that losing battle, carry this two-in-one steamer/iron when traveling. The device weighs just over one pound and measures 14 inches long. It’s also a time saver, thanks to the two-sided feature that irons both the front and back of a garment simultaneously.

Gone are the days of wrangling a gazillion cords for all your different tech needs—this multi-use charging pad can power up your iPhone (12 and up models), AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time. It folds up for easy traveling, and can also be configured as a pyramid (ideal for using as a phone stand). Plus, the charger is magnetic, meaning none of your tech will slip around.

Airplane seats are not the most comfortable, and if you’re going to be en route overnight, trying to catch some z’s in them can be near impossible. To make your travels a little more plush, indulge in this eye mask (which Oprah included in her 2022 Favorite Things). The removable gel pack can be refrigerated for a cooling effect, and the removable muslin pouch can be filled with lavender.

Traveling requires you to be prepared for every and any eventuality. Nothing is more essential than wet wipes and these Good Wipes are truly game-changing. So much better than dry, scratchy toilet paper, they are hypoallergenic, cleansing, moisturized, super-soft, and made with plant-based fibers and natural ingredients that leave you feeling refreshed. They are great for all restroom needs, periods, pre- and post-intimacy, and beyond! And yes, they are actually flushable.

The black detailing on the charging case of these wireless earbuds isn’t just for design—it’s actually a tiny solar panel that charges them. So, when you’re traveling, you don’t have to worry about lugging around another charging cord (just place the item anywhere it can catch a few UV rays). They’re also all-around good headphones: noise canceling, can be synced with Siri, and have three different silicone tip sizes.

Staying safe has never looked so pretty. This tiny device clips onto keys or bags and, when activated, emits a flashing strobe light and a loud alarm. It’s great for travelers, particularly solo female ones, but is also a smart piece to carry around all the time.

This set of four packing cubes is the organizer’s holy grail. The water-resistant nylon compresses for streamlined, compact storage, and the mesh top makes it easy to see what’s inside the cube. Plus, the set is available in seven of Away’s gorgeous colors (which can, of course, be matched with their other luggage and bags).

Never leave for a trip without a trusted portable charger. This miniature device has tens of thousands of positive reviews and is compatible with iPhones and AirPods—just make sure to charge it up when you’re back home.

Most passport holders open like a book, meaning you have one extra step to getting out your ID. This one features an open slot for the passport, so you can slide it out easily when you need it. Plus, there’s a side pocket with four card slots—perfect for stashing cash, a boarding pass, a vaccine card, or any other essentials.

Here’s the thing you didn’t know you needed. This belt turns any regular bag (think briefcases, totes, diaper bags, etc.) into the ideal carry-on—just strap it around your suitcase handles and you’ll have no trouble maneuvering with bulky bags. Oh, and did we mention the quick-release belt is made from vegan leather? Perfect all around. If you need a little extra storage space, there’s also a belt bag version, which combines the genius of the travel belt with the ease of a fanny pack.

A car trash can is a must-have for anyone hitting the open road. This one comes in seven fun colors and patterns and two capacity options (2.25 gallons or 3 gallons). The Velcro closure top features an X-shaped opening you can stuff your snack wrappers into, and the mesh pockets at its side are roomy enough to fit empty beverage cans and bottles. Plus, the lining is leakproof and insulated, and the entire item can be hung from a car headrest.

Don’t let an overweight suitcase surprise you at the airport! This device is handy for ensuring your bags stay under the weight limit (before you leave your home). It’s also great for anyone planning on carting souvenirs back—you can check if your bag still fits the restrictions.
