1. A five-piece set of compression packing bags so you can affectionately watch your carry-on roll down the conveyor belt into the scanning machine as if it's your firstborn child, knowing well that it's chock full of EVERYTHING you could ever possibly need (and then some). You don't even need a vacuum for these, just fill 'em, roll 'em, 'pack em. The holy trifecta.
2. A tech accessory organizer to prevent a headache once you get on the plane because you realize you shoved your phone charger in your carry-on instead of your personal item at the last minute and now have to scramble to find it while a line of 60 people are waiting behind you to get to the back of the plane.
3. A set of three silicone travel bottles so you can pack allllll your fave products and not have to settle for the complimentary ones at the hotel.
4. A hanging toiletry organizer designed to take up less space in your luggage by folding down flat. Plus, the hook makes it easy to hang up once you get to your destination.
5. A set of two Stasher reusable silicone travel bags to conveniently pack snacks, ChapStick, eye drops, what-have-you — a more sustainable solution to plastic bags AND still good ol' TSA-approved. They're also leak-proof, which means they'll prevent any disaster scenarios from happening while sprinting to your gate.
6. A silicone AirPods case you can clip right onto your key chain so those precious little buds stay right at your side no matter how many layovers you have.
7. And an adorable toiletry pouch to equally protect your clothing from the mini-Sephora you decided to bring along with you on your family hiking trip.
8. A fanny pack because let me tell you something — this is THE most underrated silhouette to bring along as your personal item. A purse? A laptop bag? A BACKPACK? So last year. Plus, there's no need to shove this fanny under the seat in front of you because it stays with you, right on your lap. Giving you unfettered access to your things where you need them, when you need them. Period. You're welcome.
9. A mini bottle of paraben-free hand sanitizer spray to immediately give your paws a spritz after touching all those bins in the security line.
10. A Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen stick that not only is a TSA-approved size, but may in fact come to the rescue when your flight has been delayed for six hours and you're dramatically staring out the giant glass windows in the terminal pretending you're the star in a Netflix drama and fail to realize that you are, in fact, actually cooking in the sun. This will be there to rescue you.
11. A luggage scale to take any mystery or panic out of travel day. Checking a bag has never been easier or more stress-free. Enjoy!
12. A pair of moisture-wicking compression socks for those of you who have painful swelling in your feet and ankles during air travel. Not only will these keep that at bay, but they'll also keep your dogs protected when TSA makes you take your shoes off and walk on a dirty floor that thousands of other raw toes have been stomping on for years.
13. A set of packing cubes to take full advantage of all the space in your luggage. You can also use them to help stay organized while you're on your trip (instead of, you know, creating a Mount Everest of dirty clothes on top of it in the corner of your hotel room).
14. A travel-size bottle of wrinkle-releaser spray so you can douse your all-linen comfy-chic airport lewk once you land and strut off that plan looking like a SNACK!
15. An oversize cardigan you can cozy up in on your ride to the airport and then easily shove into a ball in a TSA bin while you go through the metal detectors. I promise it'll be waiting for you on the other side.
16. A hardshell carry-on suitcase designed with the level of durability you require from your luggage. This thing is built to take a beating and has plenty of space for your travel essentials.
17. A weekender bag you can slip onto the handle of your checked bag once you land, giving you an extra hand while you anxiously try to find the Uber pickup zone that the sign says is upstairs, but the driver is telling you is down. Good luck, my friend.
18. OR a commuter backpack you can attach to your suitcase in the most convenient, hands-free way. A great option for a personal item, this also packs several pockets and a water bottle holder!
19. A set of reusable travel-size bottles and a cosmetics bag here to help you downsize and make a little extra room for that golden word: S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G!
20. Lastly, a super slim RFID-blocking wallet so you can be ready AF when you get to the security agent and need to hand them your passport and boarding pass. Again, why embarrass yourself and fumble around looking for the basics when they could just all be right here?
