30 Products For Carry-On Only Traveling
A waterproof Kindle to carry an entire library's worth of books so you're always entertained during that eight-hour flight, that poolside vacay, or during some downtime in the Airbnb while you're waiting for your always-chronically-late friends to finish getting ready. After all, not only does it carry thousands of downloaded books, but the battery life lasts up to 10-freaking-weeks!!!
An Airback carry-on with a built-in vacuum compression bag so you can suckkkkk up all the excess air and squish down your clothes to fit more than you possibly ever thought you could.
A set of packing cubes for smushing down any bulky articles of clothing into the perfect size to slide comfortably into your carry-on — no vacuum suctioning required.
Or a pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags so you can pack three times the clothes without needing to spend that extra moolah on baggage fees. And there's no need for a pump either since these bags can just be rolled up to suck out all of the air and keep your clothes as compressed as possible.
*OR* a Stow-N-Go travel organizer that comes with built-in shelves, so you don't have to completely unpack when you're only making a quick weekend trip. You can just pull it out of your suitcase and hang it in your closet.
Some Tide sink packets, because a quick wash is absolutely necessary when you want to pack as few clothes as possible and are fighting the urge to pack 30 different undies for your trip. Just rip open one of the packs and pour it into any sink full of water — instant suds for a wash on the go.
A strap that can hold your essentials, like a travel pillow, jacket, personal item, and more, as you scoot along through the airport. Here's to quickly gathering all your stuff post-screen and freeing up those hands!
A splurge-worthy set of Cadence Capsules for holding all of your needed toiletries together without hogging all the room in your luggage. The magnetic sides make it possible for you to organize these in the best way needed to fit in your case (without easily losing one). Plus, they're super sturdy, leak-proof, and even work great for a few days' worth of vitamins or holding small jewelry.
Or a TSA-approved 16-piece travel toiletries set so you can minimize the amount of space your bathroom essentials take up in your backpack. These bottles are perfect for carrying all your fave beauty products and are set in a leakproof bag so you don't have to worry about getting shampoo stains on your clothing as you wheel your carry-on down the ramp.
A Hackwith Design House shirt for people who don't want to overpack and love the idea of a single shirt that can be styled in six (yes, SIX) different ways! You can wear this shirt again and again without anyone being the wiser.
A 2-in-1 hair tool so you're not trying to stuff two separate tools into your luggage — but you're well aware of the fact that you can't possibly survive without both a curler and a straightener. Plus, it's dual voltage for international travel!
A portable rain hood you can slip on under any (yes, ANY) jacket, so even your favorite coat can now boast a hood. No need to attempt cramming in those extra raincoats or bulky umbrellas; this can be kept on hand whenever those pesky clouds unpredictably start to form, despite the weather app declaring clear skies for the duration of your trip.
A Subtl Beauty Stack so instead of lugging around a whole makeup bag (which, let's be honest, takes up wayyy too much space), you can condense up to nine makeup essentials into one small stack! You can customize this pretty much however you want, so you can carry everything from concealer to highlighter to bronzer.
A waterproof travel cable organizer to keep all of your favorite small gadgets and chargers on hand and keep the mess of wires compact so that they're not taking up any extra much-needed space in your bag.
A skyline mini wallet emergency kit, so you're not tryna stuff full bottles of Tylenol or large packs of makeup wipes into your already over-packed carry-on. This kit has everything you possibly need for those unforeseen emergencies — like those moments you find yourself needing a tampon, a hair tie, or even the back of an earring that's mysteriously gone missing.
A capacious travel backpack to fit as many items as you can possibly jam-pack into it while still being able to slide it under the seat in front of you. It's able to zip open completely — yes, like a suitcase — so you can find whatever you need! It has plenty of pockets, a compartment just for wet items, and another for shoes.
A reusable, compact gel lint roller so you can keep your ~fancy~ outfit looking clean, pristine, and free from the loose fuzz that somehow keeps ruining your classic black button-up. After all, trying to clean up your clothes while on vacation is a hassle — this will make it a whole lot easier.
A set of TSA-friendly travel bottles with pumps, because this will make traveling with all your most important liquid products so much easier. These are literally perfect for that ~expensive~ shampoo/conditioner combo you can't possibly think about traveling without.
A foldable jewelry organizer for storing your absolute *best* of friends. This folded case has several pockets and slits, so you can stash anything from rings to earrings to necklaces without having to carry several bulky boxes that take up too much room. Don't deal with the stress of misplacing any of your favorite pieces; keep them on hand for those fun nights out.
A pack of Neutrogena makeup remover towelettes to completely wipe your face free from makeup as you're stuck on that overnight flight. Rather than carrying around a bulky regular-size pack, these tiny individual ones can just be tossed into your bag for that on-the-go freshness.
Or a makeup-removing cloth you can easily carry instead of lugging around a huge pack of disposable wipes. This simple washcloth can safely go through TSA (since your regular full-size bottle of liquid certainly cannot), and all it needs is some water to wipe your face clean.
The 4-in-1 Alleyoop Pen Pal so you're not lugging around a packed bag full of makeup — this one lil' pen has an eyeliner, brow liner, lip liner, and a highlighter all in one. Just toss it into your fanny pack so you can make a quick touchup while onboard the plane.
A fast-drying microfiber towel that can fold itself down to be so small it's sure to fit in or be clipped onto any overpacked carry-on. This will prove itself to be your saving grace when you are unable to find anything to dry yourself with after taking an unscheduled dip at the beach. The towel is lightweight and fast to dry, so it is easy to pack and soft to the touch!
A travel-size wrinkle release spray because you can't fit an entire iron and board into your carry-on, but you'd still rather not go around on your vacation looking like a wrinkled mess.
A compact I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo so you don't need to carry around a bottle of your favorite aerosol version that's liable to take up wayyy too much space in your already overpacked luggage. This lil' baddie will become your absolute favorite as it comes in a compact travel case, soaks up excess hair oil, and volumizes your locks so that your hairstyle will get compliments no matter where you go.
A high-quality hair conditioner bar that can easily get through TSA (unlike the large bottle of conditioner you usually have), so you're not trying to buy some at a random drugstore in a foreign town.
A neck pillow you can stuff with clothing for sneaking in that extra outfit (or two) you just couldn't jam into your luggage. It's literally the perfect way to utilize every single square inch of space physically possible. Plus, you can make sure you have those spare clothes on hand if you need a quick outfit change once you land.
A 3-in-1 travel razor that's got literally everything you need for a quick shave on the go: a refillable spray bottle for easy skin prep, a shea butter moisturizing bar, and two triple-blade razor cartridges. This compact razor is the perfect addition to toss into your suitcase.
A foldable water bottle to take up very little space when every square inch counts. It'll be incredibly helpful when you want to take a bottle of water onto the plane but don't have the time to buy one at the gate after spending hours waiting at the TSA line (which seemingly gets longer and longer every time you fly).
A mini belted pack that can keep your most valuable items strapped close to your chest — it's necessary while you weave through busy airport terminals. With several pockets to store all of your miscellaneous necessities, this bag is perfect for any excursion, too!
