Traveling anywhere is exciting. And counting down the days until you leave for your next trip is lots of fun. But packing can sometimes be stressful and overwhelming. I have used these Amazon travel essentials over the years to help me pack and stay organized on all my trips.
Travel Blanket and Pillow
Every time I get on any flight or car ride I always find myself being cold. Especially when I have a long flight ahead of me and I try to nap, I find myself freezing and unable to fall asleep. I found this super soft and cozy blanket on TikTok and got it right away. It’s amazing! I bring it on every flight I am going on and I am never cold anymore. It also doubles as a pillow, and has a handle to fit on luggages.
Airplane Foot Hammock
This airplane foot hammock is a genius idea. Every plane flight I have no place to put my feet or get bored of them just being flat on the ground. This allows for me to have options on my flights. And if I am sitting next to a friend or family member we can both use it to rest our feet.
Luggage Cup Holder
I found these on TikTok and I think they are super smart. My mom and I love to get Starbucks drinks or fountain drinks from a food court area before our flight and we never have anywhere to put our drinks when walking around. Usually we end up having to finish them quickly before moving from place to place because it is too much to carry. This eliminates that issue all together. And the fact that it attaches to the top of your suitcase is a huge bonus!
Adjustable Clasps Zipper Clip
I love these clips! They are one of my more recent purchases from Amazon, but completely worth it. I bought them to use in Europe for pickpocketing and I ended up using them on all my luggages. They worked super well and I sometimes forgot they were on my carry-on bag and could not open it until I realized. They definitely work really well and prevent anyone from quickly getting into any bag.
Apple AirTag
My Apple AirTag has become a life saver. I just recently got it as a Christmas gift and I use it all the time. Currently I have been using it everyday on my car keys so when I go to my classes I always know where my keys are. But on trips and such I will put it inside this passport holder (shown bellow). It stays on their my entire trip and so wherever I go I will always know where my passport and wallet are. It will keep me less stressed while I am on vacation.
AirTag Passport Holder
I just bought this passport holder last week for my upcoming spring break trip. This is going to make sure that I have no stress anytime I leave my passport somewhere I am not because I’ll always know where it is. I am very excited to start using this on all my trips and be stress free the entire time!
Travel Cable Organizer
When I was a lot younger and my family and I would go to Florida or short car trips we were always a mess with our cords. Finally one year my mom got us each an individual cord/cable organizer and it’s been perfect since. We all each know what cords are ours and have a way to organize them ourselves. It definitely helps when traveling between a few spots on one trip.
Outlet Extender Multi Plug
This multi plug is great for any trip in the United States. It offers multiple different plug spots and also offers cord inserts. I think that this is great to use to decrease the amount of cubes I would usually bring on trips. I am always having to bring like 4 to 5 cubes on trips to charge everything. And then I have no outlets to charge them all on. This would definitely eliminate that issue and make sure I can always charge my devices.
Silk Sleep Eye Mask
I love sleeping with my eye mask every night. I feel like since I started using one I am never woken up by the sunlight. I just bought a cheap one like this one from Amazon for vacations. It works for me and makes sure that whichever type of room we are staying in (light or dark) that I can get a good nights sleep.
Travel Pill Organizer
Such a brilliant idea to create a pill case like this one. Usually all the pill cases I find are labeled from Sunday to Saturday and for vacation trips that does not work for me. This pill organizer has multiple sizes and sections for you to use. I just used it when I went to London and France this summer. Each section had a write on label option and it was perfect for my use.
Travel Mini Refillable Perfume Container
I used these perfume containers my entire trip to Europe last summer. I was able to fill them up with my current perfume I was using at home. They lasted the entire 2 weeks we were there and did not spill at any point. I really liked these because I can never find a good small scent of perfume to bring on vacations. This worked perfectly for me and I will definitely be using them again!
Soap Box
This was a cheap soap box I found for vacation. I am always needing these when I travel and sometimes cannot find them in stores. This one was cheap and it had prime so it was my best option!
Collapsible Silicone Travel Bottles
Traveling with big bottles of your bathroom supplies to much to handle. But also so is buying hair products or skin care that isn’t your usual brand, just so you can have small bottles for vacation. This is my perfect solution to this problem. I bought a bunch of these in different sizes to use for all my products on trips. I think that these are definitely worth it because also when you finished using the product they collapse and create more space in your suitcase.
Toiletry Travel Bag
This toiletry bag is the BEST one out there. I needed a new one for my trip last summer and I was looking everywhere for a good small bag that fit everything I needed it to. This bag is perfect. I was able to fit all of my hair products, bathroom necessities, and tooth items for 2 weeks. I got the medium sized bag instead of the large and it was just enough for me. Not only does it fit everything you need but it hangs up and also collapses into a carrying bag which I loved.
Travel Jewelry Box
Anytime I travel I like to switch out my earrings or rings to change it up. I have had this smaller little jewelry holder since I was a kid and I needed a new one. This was recommended to me by a friend and I live for this box. It’s the perfect small size you need to fit into any suitcase. But it holds just enough jewelry for an entire 2 week trip.
Compression Packing Cubes
Packing for any trip is stressful enough. But when you are going away for long than a week trying to fit everything into your suitcase can be difficult. These packing cubes are a huge life savor for me. Not only do these cubes provide breathable mesh but they compress your folded clothes so that they take up less room. I used these on my last trip to Europe and it was definitely the only way I was going to be able to fit all my clothes into one suitcase.
