Amazon Travel Must Haves You’ll Use More Than You Think ✈️

Let's be honest, not all Amazon travel must-haves are completely necessary. When I'm going on a trip, first things first, I need to make sure that my clothes actually fit in my suitcase. And then I'm bringing all of my toiletries and extras. And if it does not fit in the suitcase, it is not coming with me. So in today's video, I have rounded up my personal favorite Amazon travel must-haves that I use that work really well, that you can use while you're traveling and actually use in your daily life. So without further ado, if you are headed on a trip somewhere, need some inspo, let's get started. First, let's talk about just carry-ons and suitcases really quickly. If you need a new weekender, I've been using this one from Samsonite and I highly recommend, while it's white, I have been using this on all of my trips for the past year and it looks still pretty brand new. I actually haven't even washed this. I love this bag because it's made with a nice high quality canvas. I think it looks cute with any kind of suitcase. And of course there is that trolley sleeve, so you don't have to worry about this one falling off your suitcase when you're rolling it throughout the airport. It fits very comfortably under the seat in front of you. On the inside, you have a large opening. There is a sleeve for a laptop and you have a side zipper. I just love how this one is a high quality canvas. It's not going to be flimsy. It sits up straight and it fits a ton inside. Now, if your style is more of a backpack, this by far is my favorite Amazon travel backpack. I brought this with me on my trip to Japan and a three week trip to Europe last summer. And I loved it because it does have a lot of different compartments. There is a separate laptop sleeve and in the laptop sleeve, I also put like my Kindle or any like tall papers. I put it back there. But on the inside of the backpack, you can fit clothing, shoes. I even bought a handbag last summer in Capri, Italy, and it fit in the front. So you can fit a ton in this backpack. Plus it also does have that trolley sleeve. So it's really easy to maneuver in an airport. And I love how it does come in different colors. And of course, if you are on the market for a new suitcase, you're needing a new bag. I use this one from Samsonite, my top favorite. Now, I featured this before on the channel and everyone's like, you got a white suitcase. Are you crazy? Yes, I am. Because I thought white was so cute. Did it get a little bit dirty? Yes, there are some scuff up marks, but I actually just use like Dawn power wash spray and wipe it down. But it comes in different colors. And really quick why I love the Samsonite suitcases. The wheels are very strong and sturdy. They don't fall off and it really can handle tons of travel. So when you're all packed up, a gadget I find really helpful is this luggage scale. You can just see where you're at with how heavy your suitcase is, especially if you don't want to like recombobulate at the airport and they make you go to the side, you have to take things out. It's like super annoying. You can at least know before you head to the airport where you are with your weight. Now, you don't necessarily have to bring this with you on your trip, but you can easily put this inside. It's not too big where it takes up too much room. I usually just keep it at home because I know if traveling to a destination, I know I have five pounds, give or take. So I usually just use it when I'm home packing for a trip and it just helps me stay on track and not go overweight. Now, when I'm packing a checked bag, I do like using packing cubes just to keep some things organized, like my socks and underwear in one. I also like to keep like my tops in one just so I know where things are and keep me a little bit more organized. Now, I will admit packing cubes, if you're doing just a carry on, I don't think they help you out too much just because with carry on for me especially, I need every square inch of space. And I find that sometimes using all packing cubes, you're not really utilizing those beard nooks and crannies. But I do use at least one for my socks and underwear usually, even if I'm doing just a carry on bag. So this pack of packing cubes comes in different sizes. So you can really utilize and organize your bag when you are traveling. And if you love to travel with jewelry, this jewelry organizer is a must have for your traveling. I got this I think three years ago, and it's around $10. And look at it, she's still looking good. And I like just keeping all my jewelry organized. When I'm going on a trip, you could do earrings, necklaces, bracelets, the big compartment down here. And then when you want to pack this one up, it does fold up quite easily. And it kind of really packs flat in your suitcase. And this jewelry case, I do find fits in any bag perfectly. And it's easy to spot when you are unpacking, you know exactly where all your jewelry is. And I highly recommend this one just $10. And I use it on every single trip. Next, let's go over some makeup storage options. The first option is for those who like to put on a full face of makeup. I'm talking foundation, concealer, blush, everything like you are a full makeup girly. This toiletry case I think is absolutely gorgeous. And you can actually use this in your daily life. You can leave this out on your counter. I think it looks really elegant. And when you need to go on a trip, you can just put it in your suitcase, which I love. I like how there is a little bit of a slot right here for makeup brushes. But I just put like my pencils in there because you can easily see them. You could fit a lot of different makeup in here. In fact, you could probably even put some of your toiletry essentials in here and just have one case. It's big, but it's not too gigantic where you're like, this doesn't make any sense. Now, I will admit if you are doing just a carry on bag, this just might be a little bit big and a bit more structured unless you put your full toiletry kit in here. So something to keep in mind. I love the faux leather of this has a nice top handle and it just looks so elegant and pretty. Plus, I like how there is compartments on the inside. I think it looks very chic and sophisticated. But if you're more of like a just a foundation, blush, concealer, lip gloss, kind of girly, you don't need too much room. This mini bag is perfect. I did fit like my concealer, foundation, blush, mascara, lip gloss and you're makeup. This is like a really perfect option. It is quite small. So definitely for my more minimalist makeup girlies. But not only makeup you can put in here, you could do like feminine hygiene products, could do like little snacks or just things for the airplane. This does come in handy. I like the material as well. It's a thicker nylon. It kind of reminds me of the Lululemon belt bags. So it's very thick. The zipper is nice and it's not going to be like super flimsy or break. So I like how this one is durable and you could fit a ton of different things in here. If you're on the fence, maybe you want a little bit more space. That bag also comes in different shapes and sizes. So this is basically two of the small ones I just share with you. You could do a full makeup kit in here with brushes or just makeup brushes. So you could fit a lot, but it's still a lot smaller than the hard case one. So tons of different options. Again, this comes in so many colors too. I like the high quality nylon. I got it in like the pretty kind of like coffee taupey color, but this also comes in like hot pink, fun, bright colors as well. And you can fit a ton inside. And I also have my ultimate favorite toiletry case. This is what I use when I'm going on a longer trip. I would say more than seven days I will bring this one just because I can fit everything inside. I have my shampoo, conditioner, face wash, makeup remover, perfume, hair stuff. I have my skincare. I have like my random little things, my teeth whitening medicine, floss, those types of things. So if the trip is quite long, I can live out of this. If I'm doing like a three week trip, this is like what I bring. I'm very conscious of what I pack in my carry on. I'm just doing carry on only. I will not bring this. This is for my checked bag only travel. So I will use a smaller one and kind of just like pare down my kit, which brings me to depotting items. If you are still traveling with full size items, I'm going to have to hold your hand. No, we are not going to do that. My dad still travels with full size bottles of lotion and it drives me insane. Like literally this bag of lotion, like you're going away for four days. So if you are still traveling full size things, we are going to need to depot our items. So if you want to depot liquids, shampoo, conditioner, or laundry detergent, things that are liquidy, this set comes in a pack of four. And I have not had any issues with these leaking at all. They come in different colors. They have a nice silicone. And when you are using the product and you start squeezing it out, it kind of takes up less space. So these are a must have for my shampoo and conditioner. And I recently just picked up these guys. These are a little bit smaller at one ounce. I like to travel with Dawn dish soap. Sometimes if you have like a water bottle, you want to wash it out. Or if you want to do like a small bit of sunscreen, this is great because it's not going to take up too much room in your bag. And again, it's still silicone. Plus these actually have a little clasp right here. So it's not have any issues with spilling in your bag. So these I thought were really great size for those small things that you don't need a lot of product in. Another favorite set are these one ounce clear containers. These are great for moisturizers, lotions, and creams. It has a wide opening. So when you're done with your trip, you can depot it back into the original box. You can still have enough and wash them out and reuse them for different things. I love using these. They're also plastic and lightweight. I know sometimes like some of my skincare comes in glass bottles and it adds a lot of weight to my bag. So these kind of take those heavy glass bottles and it puts into something extremely lightweight. Cause I know sometimes airlines are very picky with the weight. We cannot be overweight on our flight. So I love these for these lotions and creams. And lastly, I have this variety pack that I've been loving using. Sometimes I want to bring like maybe a retinol or a vitamin C serum or something that I'm like, I don't want to bring the full bottle, but also I don't need a full ounce of it. These are nice and small. So I could just use like a few pumps for how many days I'm going. So these are great for just like more skincare things. And I do believe having these small kind of like travel containers on hand is really handy. So when you're going for your trip, you're packing, you can actually find containers to go in rather than like scrambling at the last minute. So I love depotting things myself. You pay extra for the brand to do it themselves and slap a label on it. I have like a travel size Kiehl's face wash, which was like $18. I could have just bought the big size and then put it into a smaller container and use it on my trip. So you're going to save a lot more money doing this step yourself. Now to keep all these things organized, I like using this label maker. So I know exactly what I'm using. It's super easy to use. You just download an app. You can customize these a lot to even do like photos, but I just do simple, bold text and I put the name on the product. So I know exactly what I'm using when I'm on my trip. And not only that you can use this on a travel day, you can actually use this for like at home organization as well. Another helpful thing that I have are these like silicone covers. So if you are a little worried that this might pop in your bag, you can pop this silicone cover on and you're not going to have to worry about this leaking through. I think this is just like a peace of mind. These are pretty affordable under like $7 for a full pack of them. So you don't have to really worry about anything spilling in your bag. I thankfully, knock on wood, have not had any issues. But if you've had a disaster story, I need to hear about it down below. This might be your next best friend if you want to keep your bag nice and clean. Another travel must have I've been loving is this silicone sponge. So it's great because you can lather up your body wash and it takes basically no time to dry at all. If you are still traveling with like actual loofahs, those do not dry. You take a shower before your flight, it's wet in your bag. I'm sure lots of bacteria is growing on it. So this is just a bit cleaner. You can even wash it and just keep more sanitized and it still bubbles up. And again, you can use this in your daily life. You don't always have to use this for travel. I actually use this at home too. So I love how you can use these in both situations. Lately, I've been doing more carry on travel only. It's hard you guys. So this is my regular hairbrush. It's the Tangle Teaser and I was looking for ways to make things smaller in my bag. So I found this. This is actually the kids size. So look how much room I'm saving by just switching out my hairbrush. These things look small, but they do add up when you are traveling. And while it isn't as big, it still does its job. It's a great brush. And I like the Tangle Teaser because you can actually put this like in a bucket of hot water with soap and actually wash it. So it does last a super long time and it comes in so many fun colors. Pro tip, always get the bright colors for things so you can easily find your hairbrush in your suitcase. I think I had like a black hairbrush once. I could never find it. So this I can easily find in my suitcase. It pops out like a highlighter and it's a nice small size. All right, now we are packed for our trip. Let's talk about some airplane essentials that I swear by. The first is noise canceling headphones. Okay, these are the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones. I have been using these now for a while and I like how they do come in this nice case. Pretty fun color. They're Bluetooth speakers and the Quiet Comfort Bose has a lot of padding, especially on the ears. Sometimes when you listen to like podcasts or watching a TV show and your headphones don't have the padding like the Apple ones, Apple ones don't really have padding. These are very comfortable on your ears and they do come with the cord. So if you want to watch a TV show on the flight, you can plug it in. So I love how it's always in the case and you're ready to go. So especially for a long haul flight, if you're watching movies, these are great. I particularly love these because they're just noise canceling and these are non-negotiable. It doesn't matter if it's a two hour flight. I am bringing my noise headphones even though they are bigger. It's just a must for me. This next product, you guys, is probably one of my favorite new travel must have finds and I'm obsessed with them and they are travel must have. So these are steam eye masks. Oh my gosh, where have these been my entire life? I just found out about these. I was looking for like long haul flight red eye essentials. This is a regular like eye mask. It comes with these like small foldable little ear things. So it's kind of a makeshift eye mask, but on the inside, these are actual like steam bits. So it kind of reminds me of like hand warmers, but it's for your eyes. So this just helps you one, if you're going on a red eye flight, it kind of puts you into like sleep mode. It's like an eye compress. It's really comfortable for your face or if you're just going on a long haul flight and want to relax, really puts you into like a spa like mode. Not only that, oh my goodness, when I was jet lagged in Paris, I popped these on after the red eye flight and just took a nap and it was like the most glorious thing. If you also have a headache or migraine, you can also pop these on. So these in my opinion are not only for travel, but they are also for your daily life. I wish I would have brought more of these to my trip to Paris because I would have used them more when I was jet lagged on that trip just to get into a more relaxed, calm space. And then for the flight, when I put this on overnight, it was a dream. They actually do heat up for a while, about like 45 minutes to an hour and does get pretty warm. So it just feels like a warm compress on your face. And these are incredible. They come in a pack of like 18, a dream, you guys, you are going to love these. I'm obsessed. Now another red eye or long haul flight essential is a really good eye mask. So I picked this one up. It's actually 100% mulberry silk. I like how thick it is and it kind of feels like a soft pillow. So when you put it on your face, it feels fluffy rather than stiff. It's a really nice calming face mask. It's fully adjustable in the back. And if I put on, it really does block out the light and it's really thick. So it's just very comfortable on a flight. Plus you can machine wash this after your trip and you can do the heated eye mask, pop that on. It's pure bliss. Okay, next up the battle of the best Amazon travel pillow. I would say this one is probably my favorite traditional pillow that I'll talk about. This is the moldable foldable pillow, which is great because you could find that position that just like works for you on the plane. Plus you can wear it regularly around your neck. And this top part is machine washable. You can zip it out and put it in the machine. So you'll never have like those airport germs on it. I like this one because it's so versatile. You can just hug it cozy at neck pillow. It does have a nice firm cushion. And this one I have used a lot. Now as you can see, it is quite bigger. Okay. It does take up more space on a suitcase. I will only bring this if I'm going on an overnight long haul flight and I want to fall asleep. I will bring this style just because it is really soft, cozy, and I like how this one works. I also have tried the turtle neck pillow. This one is like super viral. I would call it more a neck brace just because it's not a pillow in the sense that it's soft or cushy. Sometimes your neck is going to be so sore after a long flight. So this one really does help keep your neck up and you can kind of rest it like that. So I do find that it really is supportive in your neck. I wouldn't say it's like the softest, coziest, but it does pack more flat in your suitcase than that fluffy pillow. So if you want more space saving solutions, this one is a great option to have in your bag for a long haul flight. However, when I was searching on Amazon, I basically found a hybrid sleep solution. This is the fluffy pillow and this is an air sling. So it's quite smaller than the kind of cushiony pillow that I just shared with you. And it's not a pillow. It's actually a three in one airplane sleep system. If you're going on a red eye long haul flight and you're trying to figure out how the heck are you going to sleep on a plane, I still need to master falling asleep on a plane. I simply cannot do it. So I am very intrigued with this system. You basically put this along the seat behind you like this. All right. It comes with a sling. So you put that sling around your seat back and you basically cocoon yourself. Okay. When you're desperate, you will do these measures. I am so excited to try this actually on my next flight. Okay. So you cocoon yourself. And then as crazy as it looks, you actually attach this to your seat and it keeps you upright. So why I think this actually is going to work and has actually a lot of positive reviews is that your arms are in place. Your body isn't going to bob forward. Your head is attached. So basically it keeps you upright like this. And I feel like it's going to work. My mom's actually going on a long haul flight before me. So I'm actually going to give it to her so she can test it out for sure overnight. But I think it's going to work. Okay. I've tried basically everything and this just looks very supportive and I'm really intrigued for this one. Now I'm not going to get into too much product that I bring on my trip because that would be like a full separate video. But if you want some things that are really helpful, I think for a long haul flight especially is hypochloric acid. I actually did de-pot this in a small container. So this basically refreshes your skin but also like kills bacteria in a very safe way. So if you feel like you're gross after a flight, this just helps reduce redness, calm irritation, but also still like sanitizes your face. Another product that I've been loving lately is the Summer Fridays Jetlag Smoothing Skin Mist. So after a six hour, seven hour flight, you just spritz this on and it gives your skin a lot more glow and it really like revives your skin, especially if you feel dull, gross. It kind of is that perfect refresher with really amazing skin benefits. So I've been using this on my travels and I highly recommend. Now, if you are going on a long flight, I always like to pack these Grace Insella eye masks. These are perfect to do on the plane and your destination. I feel like if you're going to a resort, you have time, you're relaxing, it's the perfect time to pack your eye mask, your face mask, your sheet mask, things that you don't have time to do at home. I feel like there's always time when you're on like a vacation to do these fun, extra things. If you're going on a business trip, you're there for three days. This might not be completely necessary, but I always like to pack these just so I have a fun skincare thing that I can look forward to, especially on a long haul flight. All right, we've made it to our destination. All the flight essentials are taken care of. Now, what do we need when we're landed on the go? First up are my favorite travel shoes. These are the Dr. Scholl sneakers. I brought this with me on my trip to Rome. My mom actually has a pair too, and these are like the perfect white sneaker. I actually see these a lot when I'm traveling. I'm like, oh my gosh, I have them on too. So these, I feel like they're comfortable. You don't need to break them in and they go with every single outfit. They also make these in men's as well. Your whole family could be wearing them and they just look fantastic. They feel great and you can walk a ton in the Dr. Scholl sneakers. I absolutely love them. The next is a great travel water bottle. Now, sometimes I bring mine, sometimes I don't, but if I'm going to bring a water bottle, I like the Awala style the most just because it has a wide opening tube. You can easily refill it and it does have a very secure top so you don't have to really worry about leaking and they come in so many fun colors. So I love the Awala for a water bottle on a trip. If you're going somewhere super warm, I do recommend bringing a travel fan. I have a few favorites, but this one, I think I like it the most because it does have like some USB chargers in it. So if you want to open it up, you can fan yourself and keep yourself cool. Again, you can also use this in your daily life. If you're going on a summer travel trip, it's going to be hot and steamy. Definitely pack a fan. You are going to love it. When I'm traveling into Italy in summertime, taking the bus around, there is no air conditioning. In fact, I don't know if they have air conditioning in the airport. So I was definitely cooling myself down with a fan. So I recommend this one. If you are a sensitive sleeper, I highly recommend traveling with a sound machine. This is a larger size sound machine. I actually use this every day, but I also have a small travel size one, which is great if you, again, you're packing just to carry on. Not necessarily, totally necessary. This is great to have. Again, I was with my mom in Rome at night, 2 a.m. Just people outside very loud, could not fall asleep. And then when I was in Mexico City this year, turns out across the street was a full on nightclub. Okay. And it was so loud. I was like, oh my gosh, like what are we going to do? Thankfully we had this, but it was definitely a surprise. So I like how this one, you have different sound settings. It just helps you fall asleep. And I use this in my daily life. So when I'm traveling, this kind of brings that comfort of home on your trip and you can fall asleep like that. Next up is for my makeup girlies. If you want a dedicated place to do your makeup, I love traveling with this makeup mirror. I don't always bring this with me on my trips. Like if I'm going to an all inclusive in Cancun, they usually have gorgeous bathrooms that are huge. But if I'm going on a cruise where the bathroom space is very limited or I'm going to like Airbnb, I don't know what the bathroom mirror situation is. This is when I would bring this. So I like using it because it's an LED mirror. You can see your makeup actually so much better when you apply it. There's three different light settings so you can easily do your makeup. I actually use this for my actual vanity mirror. I do my makeup back here and this is what I use for my everyday makeup. So it just slides in my drawer and it doesn't take up space. So I use this every single day and I bring with me when I definitely need it on a trip. And of course, with these things, you're not bringing everything on one trip. Like sometimes you're going on a trip, maybe you're going to a wedding, you're going to be bringing more makeup, more beauty, maybe more things like that. But if you're going on a quick trip and you don't really need it, you don't have to pack it, but it's always good to have. And I use it every single day. If you are headed to Europe, I would highly recommend packing this Europe travel steamer. So the actual plug of this is for the EU. So it's not going to work in your life here. So if you do travel to Europe often, this is a great thing to have. I like to go to Europe often. So I thought this was a great kind of investment just because I usually stay in like more Airbnb apartment styles and sometimes they don't have irons or steamers. And so I like bringing this one because I know it's going to work. I know I'm going to have it and it works fantastic. You don't have to really worry about the outlet conversion or voltage. So I brought this with me on my trip last year and I love it. So anytime I go to Europe, I'm going to be bringing this. Now I know we want it to be super sunny when we travel, but sometimes it's going to rain. So if you're going to be packing a travel umbrella, I have two that I like. So this one's like a true travel umbrella. It's much smaller and it's also a UV umbrella. So maybe if you're going somewhere warm, you want to block the UV. This umbrella is perfect because it's nice and small. Plus it comes with this handy case. So you're walking around all day, it's wet. You can pop it into the case and it's going to fit in your bag. You can even probably put this in a purse as well. It's also a great car umbrella just to keep in your car. So I like how this one is nice, small and compact. Is it the most sturdy? Not really. I mean, it's going to work for the purpose. Pretty good actually. But I mean, this one is obviously much more sturdier. It's bigger. However, this is my clear umbrella. Works really well. And it's from the totes brand. I love a good clear umbrella because you can see the world around you and it's a really nice sturdy umbrella. But again, for traveling, if you're just doing a carry on girl, go with this one. If you have more space you want to use in your daily life, I would go with this clear one. And there's just two different kinds of umbrellas. And last but not least, I know this is a long video. We have a portable charger. Now why I like this one is that because not only do you have a lightning cable, so that's good for like old iPhones, you also have the USB-C and a micro USB. So if you want to charge your cell phone, a camera, the travel mirror uses this small one, your phone, you're going to be able to charge it. Now, how do you charge the actual portable charger? It has a regular US outlet. So you just plug it in the wall and it charges up. I had a portable charger that didn't have this feature and my portable charger was dead and I forgot my phone charger. So I couldn't charge my portable charger. I was in a kerfuffle. So I like how this one, you can actually charge it in the wall and boom, ready to go. I know latest news is like American Airlines is banning these on flights. It needs to be like in your personal bag. So we're going to monitor the rules. But if you're going on a road trip or going on a day trip from your house, it's always a great thing to have. But I will be bringing this with me on my next flight. It'll be right in front of me like the rules say, but I think it's going to be super helpful to have power bank when you're on the go traveling. All right. So that was a lot of fun. Amazon travel must haves. I really hope that you enjoyed this video, learn something new, maybe found some new ideas when you are planning and packing for a trip. Of course, there's all kinds of different trips. There's a short trips, long trips, carry on only travelers, check bag only girlies. So I would love to know which one are you carry on or checked girl. I've been doing more carry on lately because I don't want to deal with waiting for a bag. But if I had to choose, if it's like more than five days, I have to check a bag. I just have to. I have to. So I would love to know what your style is. But of course, with every trip, I do take my space seriously. I try not to overpack every single time. So I do hope that you found some new tips and tricks in this video. If you did enjoy this video, give it a thumbs up. That helps me out so much. If you enjoyed this one, be sure to check out my latest Amazon travel must have this video.
