What do a packing list, a luggage-mounted cupholder, and a collapsible stroller have in common? They’re about to make your travel day feel like a spa day.

I'm a resident writer, cat mom, and obsessive online shopper who is passionate about quirky pet products, home decor, size-inclusive fashion, and, above all, perfumes.

Promising review: "I use this on every trip. I take it off my carry-on when I’m not using it, but it’s great for hands-free travel as you navigate through the airport." —Lori

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in various and patterns). 

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 every kind of 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

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three styles).

Promising review: "I love love this charger. It's chic, modern, and charges all your Apple gadgets like a pro. The best travel multicharger you can get for half the price compared with the original and other brands. I took this charger with me while I traveled for a whole month to Europe, to different cities, and it was extremely convenient; it's the only charger I use at home, too. I'm writing this review six months after purchasing (I usually wait a while to write reviews to make sure the product delivers accordingly, and it is durable), and it is still like brand new. Get it, you won't regret it. I'm very satisfied with the quality." —Yakelin

Get it from Amazon for $21.58+ (available in eight colors). 

Note: This is not a voltage converter, so use only with dual-voltage or worldwide-voltage devices.

Promising review: "As an international flight attendant, I am in different countries weekly. While the all-in-one adapters are great in theory, they're often too big/heavy to stay in the socket securely — you are much better off with one like this. It is sturdy in the socket, even with an electric cord (my hair curler) and my phone and iPad all plugged in. Very satisfied!" —Susan H.

Promising review: "Recently bought and brought on a girls’ trip to London after seeing it many times on BuzzFeed top travel lists. Holy crap, did it come in handy! Barely made it out of security before my friend’s baggage handle broke completely off. She thought she was going to have to lug her carry-on through the whole trip, but I used this item to fashion her a new handle so she could drag the bag behind her and utilize the wheels. It made the trip so much easier for her. Not exactly how I had planned to use the item on the trip, but I’m glad I had it so I could help her out, and it held up the whole trip despite rather rough use through the airports. Overall, great product, looks exactly as shown, very happy I bought it!" —Johanna

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors and multipacks).

The luggage belt is adjustable to 45 inches. Cincha is a small business that, yes, did get the Shark Tank deal. 

Promising reviews: "An essential item for frequent travelers like myself. This amazing product has changed my travel experience by eliminating the frustration of constantly readjusting my tote on top of my suitcase. No more worrying about it slipping off. It has made maneuvering through airports and train stations with luggage and a large tote a breeze, saving me from the hassle and strain on my shoulders and wrists." —sks47

"We bought the Cincha so that we wouldn’t have to lug around (hand carry) our kid’s booster seat in the airport. It was the PERFECT purchase for this, and I can see us using it in the future for other items as well. So glad to have this. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Momma

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 13 styles). 

Promising review: "I have always purchased handbags with lots of pockets and sections because I hate having to dig around trying to find something in the gaping hole of purses with no sections. But I have passed up so many cute bags because of this, and I was frustrated with having to do so. I purchased this medium-sized organizer, and I couldn't be happier!! It is very well-made, and it has so many great pockets to organize everything I need. THE BEST PART is, I can easily lift it out of one purse and put it into another one, and I always know where everything can be found. I wish I had gotten one of these years ago. When I first ordered this organizer, I didn't realize it had two zipper compartments on each side, and I was tickled to discover even MORE storage!!!" —Ronna

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 26 colors).

You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements. 

Promising reviews: "I cannot imagine how we would have managed a big international trip without this. It saved us so much stress and, I’m sure, surprise charges at the airport." —Potter Freak

"This scale works and was accurate on four flights. The first flight was a test at 46 pounds, and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were 49 pounds, and both United and Delta listed it as 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49, but the United scale showed it as 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low-cost, must-have item for air travel." —Robert

Get it from Amazon for $8.89 (available in four colors and also a two-pack).

Each set comes with different packing cubes, bags, and a laundry bag to accommodate different items. Shacke is a small business that sells travel solutions.

Promising review: "I am officially sold on packing cubes!! These things are amazing! I can believe I've been packing without them my whole life. The mesh lining allows you to peek inside, and I was able to pack all my clothes, shoes, and toiletries for a 10-day trip to Europe (full contents listed below). I packed them as I normally would first, and then packed them in the packing cubes. There was SO much more room in my luggage after packing everything in the cubes! Items I fit in the cubes and bag include two jackets, one jean vest, four pants/capris, two pairs of shorts, one romper, four dresses, one maxi skirt, seven tank tops, four shirts, three camisoles, three pajama sets, 15 undies, six pairs of socks, and four pairs of shoes. But why are you still reading?? Go buy these cubes!" —Tiffany

Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 25 colors and two pack sizes).

Plus, it has a zipper compartment at the bottom, where you can put all your dirty clothes. 

Promising review: "Used this in my personal item backpack for a Frontier flight. It helped to make everything fit. Love the color too." —Queboduck

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in five colors and also a smaller size).

Promising review: "I’ve had the S-shaped flight pillow for a week now and have tried it in various situations. I've loved it! The S shape of this travel pillow distinguishes it from all other flight pillows. It can be easily adjusted to fit my needs so I can rest my head comfortably. Because of its S shape, the pillow is compact and can be easily folded to a smaller size and fits into my backpack. The material is very soft and of great quality. I’m excited to use it on my long-distance flight!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $53.46+ (available in two colors). 

This contraption provides 360-degree support thanks to a wraparound design and clips that connect it to your seat's headrest. 

Promising review: "Just took a 15-hour flight with this travel pillow, and this was the best travel pillow by far. I've used inflatable and memory foam neck pillows before; the major problem is that they don't secure your head and torso, so either your muscles have to hold your body up, or your head and torso will end up swinging around, and both are disruptive to sleep. With this travel pillow, my muscles can relax, and the padded eye mask will hold up my head and torso. One minor downside is that the pillow needs to be mounted on your seat's headrest; if someone bumps your seat, it can be disruptive, but this rarely happens. Its size and weight are also much less than memory foam neck pillows, and I don't have to bring an extra eye mask, so it is very travel-friendly." —Sky

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I finally bought a couple of Apple AirTags during 2022 Black Friday sales. And I am SO grateful I did. My normal carry-on bag was too big to fit the Lufthansa luggage requirements (and BOY, do they check that!), so I had to check my bags for a December 2022 trip to Vienna and back from Prague (with a layover in Frankfurt). My bag didn't make it onto the plane in Frankfurt, and once I landed in Newark, New Jersey, I pulled up the app on my phone and saw that yes, my backpack AirTag was indeed with me, but my suitcase AirTag was still in Germany. (The screen grab is from an Amazon review, but you get the gist.) The AirTag also helped me track FedEx's delivery of the suitcase to my parents' house, where I was spending the holidays immediately after my Europe trip ended. I was even able to see it on a highway less than an hour's drive from my parents' house. TL;DR: I think AirTags are very much a worthwhile investment if you travel a few times a year. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. I always travel with them now!"

PS — This only works if you have full access to the window (rather than those seats where you get the weird halves of two windows between the rows in front and behind you). 

Promising review: "A friend recommended this to me as a vital travel companion now that I've returned to frequent flying. I initially thought of it as a novelty, but now that I've used it, it's a necessity. It keeps the workspace clear for my laptop, but it also organizes all the little pieces that can become so annoying to keep up with — glasses, earphones, etc. It got my seatmate's immediate attention, as well as a few other folks nearby. I suspect they'll have one soon. Watch for one soon in a window near you!" —Timothy G. Wolfe

Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on the go. 

Promising review: "I got it, because...like most of us, I saw it on TikTok. Wasn't sure if this would be worth the hype, but omg it is so awesome, it will not only be extremely useful on the plane, but also when recording content almost anywhere, so now we can carry this little light holder instead of an entire tripod. Great purchase. Worth the hype." —Maja

Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in seven colors and multipacks).

Promising review: "Good quality products, easy to use, looks great in my Model 3, holds a standard plastic grocery bag as the liner perfectly. Easy to clean inside and out. Fasteners to attach to the seat work well, and the ones inside for the bag are magnetic, so it's easy to change the liner." —eostgaard

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and 13 styles). 

Promising review: "Never fly without these! Before I found these, I endured excruciating pain in my ears upon descent and landing. Felt like a hot poker being driven into each ear. My ears would also be plugged up, and it would often take two to three days for them to resume their normal state of being. I insert them about an hour before landing, as the plane is making its slow descent. I'm comfortable, and the most discomfort I experience is a slight adjustment of pressure in my sinus. NO PAIN. NO TEARS." —K. Tombrella

Get a pair from Amazon for $7.29 (also available in multi-packs).

Promising review: "Flight attendant–approved! These pill containers are simply amazing! The latch and seal on them are very secure due to their rubber gasket around the inside. I put my daily medications in each of the six smaller compartments on one side and then use the larger two containers for vitamins and supplements. I keep this in my tote bag for work, and I am not concerned at all about it opening. I can’t tell you how many times some of the other pill boxes I used have opened up, tossing prescription medications into the smallest corners of my bag. Well-designed and well-executed!" —Christina S.

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 for a three-pack (available in five colors; also available in a two-pack).

Check out a TikTok of the nausea relief inhaler in action. 

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 — and 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 three and four). 

Plus, it weighs less than 10 pounds and comes with a handle for easy carrying when it's not in use. It's designed to hold kids who weigh up to 55 pounds. 

Promising review: "Best stroller ever! WE LOVE THIS STROLLER! My husband originally purchased it because I was afraid to take our big stroller on the plane to gate check. I was traveling alone, so ease of use and portability were really important. I was amazed at how convenient it was to collapse and slide under my seat on the plane and it maneuvered well through the airport and throughout our trip. I received lots of compliments and a few moms even asked me where to buy one. Since then, we have been on a few more flights and many excursions and are still in love with this purchase!" —Amazon Customer

SlumberPod is a small biz that's been featured on Shark Tank!

Promising review: "Perfect solution for making an optimal sleep setup for your little one. I've used it on every trip for my little guy. He has loved it. Can set up the video monitor and a fan. Really covers all circumstances. Don't leave the house without it for trips." —Customer

The "daily routine" set includes four medium and three small capsules as well as magnetic, interchangeable labels for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer, cleanser, a pill icon, and a blank tile.

Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon with the goal of eliminating single-use travel-sized plastics. The containers are made from recycled ocean-bound plastic. 

Promising review: "I am so impressed — I took them on a 12-night trip and still had product left when I returned. They take up very little space, too. I never travel without them now, and I love the magnetic feature — it just keeps them nicely together in my bag. Highly recommend and worth the investment! Very durable, leakproof, easy to use, and clean. Love!" —avidreader

Get the daily routine set from Amazon for $110.40 (available in five colors and other sets).

Rinseroo is a small business specializing in problem-solving cleaning, pet, and travel products. 

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. These prevented it from leaking out on the other contents of my luggage. Easy to use. Not flimsy. Very flexible. LOVE THESE!" —TAG

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two color sets and in an eight-pack). 

Note: This can get flagged with going through security, so you may want to put it in an easily accessible place in your checked bag to be safe. 

Promising review: "I went on a solo trip to Europe and Africa and used the door lock to boost security. The lock fits and secures the lock. It's very easy to use. I would just suggest you watch the video and practice at home before your holiday." —Jaye

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (also available in a two- and four-pack)

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has a great and very detailed review of the Beis backpack!

Promising review: "Hands-down, this is the most functional backpack I've come across. With plenty of compartments, ample space for a few clothing items, toiletries, and shoes, it's the ideal weekend getaway bag. It also fits perfectly underneath the seats on a plane, which is especially great for those trips where you don't want to pay for a carry-on bag." —Priyal P.

Get it from Béis for $118 (available in five colors). 

Reviewers say it meets even JetBlue's personal item rules and fits under airplane seats. One reviewer even calls the 25L size their "personal item unicorn!" The reviewer above is showing the bag in the slightly larger 30L size, also used as a personal item.

Promising review: "This is a perfect size backpack for traveling on a plane as your personal item, especially to international destinations. You could fit rolled-up clothes in here for another week, and it has a very handy shoe bag and tons of places for your electronics. This will be an excellent addition to my carry-on suitcase. Best purchase all year. I consider myself an expert on travel bags. I have way too many. It’s smaller than it looks but so roomy." —AP

Get it from Amazon for $19.54+ (available in five sizes, including an expandable option, and 21 colors).
