Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
As I’m writing this, I’m packing for Colorado for my sister’s wedding, which is the second summer wedding I’ve attended in the last three months. Send help…and maybe a steamer for my dress!
Een though it’s mid-August, I’m not quite ready to let go of summer travel yet, and honestly, you don’t have to either. Summer doesn’t wrap up until late September, so there’s still time for one more weekend trip, one last beach getaway, or, in my case, one more wedding to fly out for. (And yes, I actually do have a late September wedding on the calendar!)
Since travel’s clearly on my brain right now, I’ve gone down a little bit of a rabbit hole researching some of the gadgets and essentials that make flying or road-tripping easier. Turns out that packing well is kind of an art form, and having the right tools makes a bigger difference than you’d think. So I did the digging for you!
Ahead, shop the travel essentials you’ll want to grab before your next trip.
Pete & Pedro Cologne Refillable Travel Sprayer ($15)
One of my personal pet peeves is sitting on a plane and catching a whiff of someone else’s travel-day B.O.
Look, we all get a little sweaty when we’re rushing through an airport, but the good news is there’s an easy fix. I love this little refillable sprayer because it lets you bring your actual fragrance with you, so you can do a quick refresh mid-flight or mid-layover without lugging around your entire fragrance collection. It’s compact, TSA-approved, and takes seconds to fill, so there’s really no excuse not to smell good on arrival.
Miami Carry On Travelers 6 Piece Organizational Packing Cubes ($15.99 – 46% off)
My mom is the packing wizard of our family. She can Jenga an entire week’s worth of outfits into one carry-on with room to spare, but she sadly never passed that skill down to me.
If you’re likewise packing-challenged, these cubes do the hard work for you. The set comes with three cubes and three laundry pouches, so everything gets its own designated spot, and the compression alone makes it way easier to fit more into a single suitcase. I also love how they make unpacking at your destination as easy as sliding the cubes straight into a drawer. Who else is here for that level of ease?
MIKO Snug Neck Massage Pillow with Heat ($49.99 – 50% off)
Whenever I fly internationally (or take a red-eye), I wake up with a sore neck the next day. Honestly, a basic travel pillow helps but it can only do so much! Thankfully, MIKO’s version ups the game since it’s not just a pillow, but an actual massager with heat built in.
The deep-kneading massage and graphene heat therapy work together to relieve tension in your neck and shoulders. And with three intensity levels plus a rechargeable, cordless design, it’s just as useful on your couch at home as it is on a plane. Run, don’t walk, because it’s 50% off right now for just $49.99!
COOLA® Classic Sun Care Travel Set ($28)
Sun care is self-care! It’s summer, so odds are wherever you’re headed, the sun’s going to be a factor—and this set makes it easy to protect your skin.
COOLA’s Classic Sun Care set gives you a full-body spray, a lightweight face sunscreen, and an SPF lip balm. Basically, you’re covered head to toe and there’s no need to pack three separate full-size bottles.
Brentwood Dual-Voltage Nonstick Travel Steam Iron ($28.99 – 27% off)
This isn’t my first rodeo (I mean wedding), and I know by now how a wrinkled satin dress can feel like an actual emergency. Trust me when I say this travel steam iron is worth its weight in gold!
It’s compact enough to fit in a carry-on, but the steam function still tackles real, stubborn creases, not just surface wrinkles. Plus, the dual-voltage capability means it works internationally too, so it’s not just a domestic-trip essential. At this price (27% off!), it’s a total no-brainer.
LOOP Quiet 2 Earplugs for Sleep, Focus, Travel & Commutes ($24.95)
Have you ever tried to sleep on a noisy plane or train? Regular foam earplugs only get you so far.
Loop’s Quiet 2 Earplugs are just as quiet as they promise: they’re reusable, reduce noise significantly, and come with multiple ear tip sizes. The soft exterior loop design keeps them in place, so there’s less falling out and less losing them mid-flight. Plus, they come in a bunch of fun colors (violet! teal!), so they don’t look like a medical device while you’re wearing them.
Wherever you’re traveling, smart packing goes a long way. Add these to your cart and thank yourself later.
