1. A set of four mesh organizational pouches reviewers loooooove love love for keeping the clutter in their carry-ons under control. It also makes it a lot easier to switch out your bag if you decide to stick things in a checked luggage at the last minute!
Promising review: "Great little pouches to help organize your purse or backpack. I use it for my makeup and a separate one for essentials while I am out and about. I love that I can see what’s in them instead of having to rummage around. Haven’t had to clean them yet, but that seems like it will also be very easy to do." —KR
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 12 styles).
2. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount designed for use on all airlines — not only can you mount it to the tray table of an airplane seat, but to the arm of a chair or any flat surface, so you'll be able to stream content easy as pie wherever you roam. Reviewers have used it on everything from their car dashboards to carry-on handles to office desks to bedside tables.
Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go.
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." —Earendil
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
3. A TSA-friendly Burt's Bees travel pack, aka your new ally against dry air on the plane or in newer climates. This will keep your feet, lips, hands, *and* human body pampered and moisturized while you jet set.
Each set includes a hand lotion, body lotion, lip balm, and a foot cream.
Promising review: "The foot cream works wonders on the heels. It has a thick consistency, and it's a bit greasy, so it may be hard to put on, but it'll be worth it in the end for those baby-soft heels. I just put socks on for 15 minutes while I wait for my skin to absorb it. The lotion and lip balm are also great to have for travel, in the office, or in your purse." —Kerrrns
Get it from Amazon for $9.29.
4. A magnetic folding pill organizer with conveniently visible pill windows for easy access. Each has six small compartments for little pills, plus a large compartment for capsules and vitamins, making it ideal for trips where you might need a lil' emergency pharmacy in your backpack but don't want to take up space.
Promising review: "I purchased this because I saw them all over TikTok. As someone with a chronic illness, I honestly carry around like 10 different pill bottles for 'just in case' situations. This little pill box is a great size. I love that it’s magnetic, and each little compartment fits a good amount of pills. It won’t fit a ton of Tums if that’s what you’re looking for, but the amount of space this has saved in my bag is amazing!" —Jasmin Salas
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
5. A roll-on migraine stick made with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils to help you soothe away headaches, which frankly have a lot of audacity interrupting your travel plans.

Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

6. And a 2-in-1 nausea relief inhaler designed to work FAST on spontaneous nausea, motion sickness, morning sickness, and general queasiness (having a human body is hard). You can either use it as a scent inhaler or rub it directly on the tip of your nose for relief.
Promising review: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy I’d reach for it. I’m sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!" —Willy&Lilly
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of four).
7. A leakproof collapsible water bottle to make you feel a little bit like a witch when you roll it back up and it just ~disappears~ conveniently in your carry-on.
Promising review: "Love this product! I work out on the go, so I’m always in need of a water bottle, but I hate carrying a big one around all the time. This bottle is a nice size to use while running/walking (lightweight and easy to carry), it doesn’t leak like most plastic bottles, and it’s easy to roll/fold up and store in a bag after you’re done. Overall, great design and functionality. 10/10." —LaMonica
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five colors).
8. A travel "flossing" toothbrush with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth!
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
I've been using the regular-size version of this for over a year now and I LOVE it! I used to use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these — especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. My teeth feel genuinely ~squeaky clean~ after I use this, too.
Promising review: "This toothbrush is a new staple item for my on the go Invisalign bag. When I need to brush my teeth and don't have time to floss before putting my aligners back in, this brush makes sure my teeth and mouth feel clean and removes debris in-between my teeth. The bristles are soft, this toothbrush is sturdy and the different lengths of bristles help remove debris or help floss your teeth on the go. This brush also dries very fast in-between uses as well." —V. Brown
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
9. And a cordless mini travel water flosser so teensy and adorable that you'll be extra surprised by its powerful, deep cleaning water pulses. Reviewers love this handy on-the-go alternative to flossing, especially those with sensitive gums, braces, or built-in retainers they need to work around!
Promising review: "I bought this for my recent European trip and it worked great. It’s compact, easy to use, and offers adequate pressure. Each fill of the tank lasts me one session, so it’s perfect for me. I used to pack my full-size Waterpik; no more — this is one of my better buys for traveling!" —Phuoc Lee
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors).
10. A mess-free, reusable Bluey aqua art pad, aka the HOLY GRAIL of travel distraction — this is perfect for any parent who wants a deeply convenient, screen-free, portable way to keep kids occupied.
Promising review: "As fans of Bluey and art, this Aqua Art Set is a wonderful find! It’s compact and lightweight, making it ideal for travel and keeping kids entertained on the go. The set uses water to reveal vibrant colors, so there’s no risk of spills or stains — perfect for car rides or waiting rooms. The included brush is easy for little hands to hold, encouraging creativity without the mess of traditional paints. Cleanup is effortless, as it only requires water. If you want a fun, mess-free art activity for Bluey-loving kids, this set is a must-have!" —Misty
Get it from Amazon for $3.99 (available in five other styles).
11. A pack of Neuromints made with a blend of caffeine and nootropics designed to give you energy five times faster than regular coffee — without jitters or sluggishness afterward. All of the zing you need to keep your traveling energy up, with none of the crash. (Or 15 mid-afternoon trips to the bathroom!!)
Note: Each mint contains 40mg of caffeine. According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults.
NeuroGum is a small business that specializes in caffeinated gum and mints.
Promising review: "I've been using these NeuroMints for the past four years now, and absolutely love them. They have completely transformed my productivity — I'm not exaggerating. Coffee is great, but it gives me this high for like an hour or two, followed by a horrible energy crash. These NeuroMints are on a whole different level. The level of focus and concentration I get from these is incredible. I guess their caffeine/l-theanine ratio is ideal because I am able to code for hours with these. They first got me through college, helping me focus on my studies. Now that I work in software, they keep my brain running." —JetDriveSolutions
Get a six-pack with 12 mints each from Amazon for $24.49.
12. A pair of waterproof wireless earbuds with AirPods Pro energy — except these feature a charging case that, bless its technologically savvy heart, has an LED display letting you know exactly how much charge is left. Reviewers also love how delightfully comfortable and sweatproof these are, making them a solid, affordable option for long flights and unpredictable trips in all kinds of weather.
Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don’t have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" —Erin
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in eight colors).
13. Plus an AirFly, a handy gadget you can use to connect your wireless headphones to the headphone jacks on flights so you can stream The Fault in Our Stars and bawl thousands of feet in the air again without dealing with the poor quality of the airline's headphones or shelling out $$ for them. Bonus: you can use these to connect to audio jacks on gym equipment and gaming devices, too!
Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart has to say about them: "Last year, I splurged on some AirPod Maxes, and for the amount of money I threw down on them, I was determined to get as much use out of them as possible, and that included on plane rides. With the AirFly Pro, I can connect my headphones via Bluetooth and use the seat-back screen without having to fiddle with the free wired headphones they hand out that 1). have horrible sound quality and 2). don't fit my ears in the slightest. (I swear my ear canals are tiny or something??)"
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and bought it instantly for an upcoming trip. I wish I had known about this sooner, so I could enjoy in-flight entertainment without needing additional headphones. This allows for that, which is great. It works so well. My husband bought one as well. Highly recommend." —Amazon Customer

14. An Airplane Pocket tray cover that slides seamlessly over an airplane tray to create an instant, deeply convenient hub — this comes with a number of pockets so you can keep track of all your devices, snacks, and other odds and ends without rooting around for them in the gross back pocket or your carry-on the whole flight. Bonus: This bb is an excellent way to prevent touching a germ-y tray, and it's fully machine washable.
Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action.
Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products.
I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves!
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
15. A pair of investmentworthy Loop Quiet 2 "hidden" earplugs designed with traveling in mind — this newly updated version is lightweight and flexible for a barely there fit that still manages to effectively muffle noise, whether you're trying to get some shut-eye on a flight, focus during a work trip, or relax in a noisy city hotel.
Psst — Loop makes a variety of "hidden" earplugs for concerts, focus, and even for kids. Check them all out on Loop's Amazon storefront!
Promising review: "These are my third pair of Loop earplugs. I like using them in the car, on planes, at concerts, in class, and while sleeping. This is my first pair of the silicone ones which were much more comfortable to sleep in which I appreciated. If you are more sensitive to noises, I definitely recommend keeping these on you." —Cash Tieman
Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in ten colors).
16. Plus a set of silicone "EarPlanes" built with a twist-on structure to help relieve pressure that hurts your ears during altitude changes during landing and takeoff. Reviewers also swear by these for driving through altitude changes in the mountains and for helping with sinus pressure pain!
Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly (pictured above) says about these: "This is me wearing them for takeoff for a Newark > Edinburgh red-eye flight and I had zero problems! I normally swap from these to the Mack's Earplugs once we're up at a cruising altitude and I really block out noise from other passengers. So they're not really noise-canceling, but worth the extra room in your personal bag!"
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 three from Amazon for $18.95.
17. A tiny 3-in-1 portable charger that folds down to the size of a little macaron, but cleverly expands to charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time. If you have trips on the horizon or you're a busy human in general, you need to get yourself one of these adorable UFOs, fast.
Promising review: "These are fabulous for travel — they charge three devices from just one USB port, especially [helpful] when frequenting hotel rooms. The first one is now permanently stationed bedside to help clean up the clutter, and this will go into my briefcase for future excursions. Compact, and effective!" —see2xu
Get it from Amazon for $71.99 (available in four colors).
18. A head bob-preventing travel pillow alternative to keep your head in place while you snooze in the friendly skies (when your seat has a headrest) and in the car on long road trips. Not only does this save a ton of space, but it can also double as an eye mask, so you can block out the light of every single person watching the latest Avatar movie on the plane.
Seat Sleeper is a small business that specializes in travel accessories.
Note: This won't work on planes without a separate headrest on the seat, since it will block the screens!
Promising review: "Such a simple thing, but it works great, supports the entire weight of the head. I felt a little weird at first. But with an eye mask, earplugs, and a hoodie, it worked. It’s packable. I’ve only used it on JetBlue, but it’s adjustable; I imagine it can be used on any airline, bus, car, or wherever. It blends in, looks like an eye mask. Doesn’t interfere with anyone else. It’s on my 'must' list now." —lasheliz
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
19. A set of very chic flat "duckbill" hair clips that will be the MVP for anyone who likes to lean back on the airplane chair's headrest without the "yikes!" of a traditional hair claw biting into their scalp.
Promising review: "Love these — it's flat so it doesn't bug you when you're driving or on planes. Cute on gifts as toppers too." —suzanne degroot

A handy RFID-blocking travel wallet complete with *deep breath* 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 a pen holder, all in one itty-bitty place so you're never scrambling to find anything when you're on the move.
Promising review: "I bought this wallet right before a business trip. I wanted something that was small, but still had room to carry necessities. This wallet did that and more. Besides my ID and credit cards, I carried my passport and organized my receipts. It held a lot but didn’t take up much room in my purse. It was also cute to carry alone as a small clutch. I’m actually planning to buy more as gifts." —Sherlethia
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 31 colors).
21. A digital luggage scale perfect for anyone who likes to play chicken with the weight limits on various airlines. This gizmo will quickly and accurately let you know in pounds *or* kilograms how much your suitcase weighs just by attaching it to the handle and lifting — no clunky floor scales required.
22. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes.
Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of light. I love them. I would highly recommend. I’ll probably never sleep without them again." —AJ
I bought these at the last second for a flight when I lost my way more expensive sleep mask, and can safely say "good riddance" to that old pair — I love this version way more. It's perfectly contoured so it doesn't rub my eyes or mess up my makeup if I'm traveling, the weight is satisfying without being distracting, and it adjusts super quickly and easily without every getting caught in my hair. Also the pink is just absolutely precious, so my little Glinda x Barbie heart is most pleased to show it off.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven sets).
23. Olay Cleansing Melts + Retinol Face Cleanser for a two-in-one skincare punch — these water-activated melts only have eight ingredients to give your skin a deep clean without irritating it, with a gentle micro-foam up to clean, tone, and refresh your complexion. Reviewers especially love these for traveling!
Promising review: "I've been using Olay Melts for about six months since receiving a sample. The melts are so easy to use and rinse off very well. It has a very pleasant, faint fragrance. My skin doesn't feel tight like with other products. Since using Olay Melts, my skin feels hydrated and looks smoother and clearer. I find it to be effective for me and a great value for the money. I am a 70-year-old Black woman with combination skin and I would recommend Olay Melts to anyone." —Gladys Davis Andeson
Get it from Amazon for $17.78 (also available in versions with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C).
24. A 3-in-1 charging cord to juice up your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. (It's giving witchcraft??) This just solved all your "welp, everything's dying and there's only one outlet in this car/on this flight/in this teensy hotel room" problems for good.
Promising review: "Perfect for travel. I have one in my carry-on and the second in my computer bag. You can easily coil them up and tuck them into a side pocket. So far, they work very well and seem durable. I love the fact that you have all your bases covered with the USB-C, Lightning, and Apple Watch charger." —Jane
Get it from Amazon for $11.04+ (available in nine colors and packs of two).

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers.
Promising review: "Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it’s pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it’s extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I’m especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what’s not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" —Briana R.
Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options).
26. A set of clear reusable shoe bags to keep the grime from your beloved sneakers and boots off your other clothes. This is especially handy if you've been somewhere muddy or rainy and don't have time to dry out your shoes before you head home!
Promising review: "Love these! These are sturdy and large. I used them on a recent trip to pack boots and sneakers that I didn't want to touch my clothes. They also came in handy for putting in my backpack on hikes to keep food and drinks separate and safe from leaking. I used one for storing a wet bathing suit after a swim. So many uses and take up little space!" —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of five for $6.99 (available in four colors and ten-packs).
27. A set of hat clips for anyone out here determined to beat the "you're only allowed to have two personal items on this flight" allegations 👀. This lets you strap your big-brimmed hat right onto your carry-on or backpack without anyone asking you to stuff it inside where it'll get all bent out of shape.

Now you can read your book at during the flight further without disrupting your circadian rhythms *or* bugging your neighbors with the harsh overhead.
Promising review: "This is a fantastic light! I use it every evening to continue reading while my son sleeps, it does not wake him or impede my sleep after I’m ready to go to bed. Great product." —Brian Masters

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 when it was my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare!

Hope you love it too." —Philip

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.

Promising review: "I wanted a silicone band to wear at the gym and for travel, but wanted something different from the wide black bands that are so popular. This ring is cute, and it's so comfortable I'm not aware I'm wearing it. I may be back to get more colors!" —Lindajf

Promising review: "I live in NJ and last year the state limited the use of plastic straws in restaurants, so often our only option is paper straws. I personally dislike the strange taste of paper straws and notice they tend to ruin any carbonation in a drink, so I bought this so I wouldn't have to use those. I keep it clipped onto my bag in it's little case so I always have it with me, and it's easy to wash once I get home. Highly recommend to fellow paper straw haters." —Jordan
