If You're Planning On Traveling To Europe This Year, Here Are 26 Products You Should Pack
A digital luggage scale if you've ever waited to weigh your bag at the airport only to realize you're 4 pounds over, so then you have to carry your MASSIVE size 10 Dr. Martens platform sandals in your purse for the whole flight.
A portable door lock to help ease any anxiety if you're traveling by yourself. It's easy to set up, fits right in a carry-on or suitcase, and will help you feel a little more safe if you're staying in a hotel room on your own.
A Hackwith Design House shirt you can wear six different ways, so you don't have to feel like you're wearing the same shirt over and over again while you're on vacay.
An LED around-the-neck reading light if you are a considerate person and don't want to use the overhead lighting at your seat, which will inevitably keep everyone around you awake. Plus, it has three different light colors, so you can adjust it to your preferences!
A tri-fold travel wallet with tons of slots, so you can keep your passport, credit cards, IDs, and vaccine cards safe with RFID-blocking tech while you're out jet-setting around the world.
A Trtl neck pillow that's less bulky than a traditional neck pillow so it'll easily fit in your carry-on and you won't have to worry about unpacking and repacking your whole bag when you want to take a mid-flight nap.
Or an inflatable wedge pillow so you can feel like you have your own personal sleeping pod, even if you're surrounded by strangers on a six-hour flight from Los Angeles to NYC (godspeed).
A pair of Thigh Society cooling shorts because you ~love~ getting to know a new city by walking around, but you *hate* the thigh chafe that comes along with it. And these are super lightweight, so they'll help you stay nice 'n' cool, too.
A set of expandable hangers to help hang dry your clothes that you have to wash in the sink. They're also super handy if you're going on a group trip where you're sharing a room with other people, but the hotel only provided two hangers.
A HappyLuxe travel wrap you can use as a scarf or shawl to keep you warm while you're in the airport, but then also use as a blanket for napping if the plane you're on is incredibly chilly.
A hanging toiletry bag as magical as Mary Poppins' bag because you can fit basically anything in it. Plus, it has a rotating hook, so you can hang it on the back of a door or in the shower for convenient access wherever you're staying.
A 16-piece travel toiletries set approved by TSA, so you don't have to waste money on buying travel-sized versions of your favorite products. With these, you can just make them on your own!
A packing cube with a built-in shelf, so you don't have to totally unpack your whole bag to look for that one top you really wanna wear. Just hang this in the closet, and you're GTG!
An international power converter in case your travels take you across the pond (or anywhere else in the world that doesn't take US outlets), so you're not in a pickle when you're abroad.
A three-pack of jet bags so that you can bring home wine, fancy liquor, hot sauce, olive oil, and even perfume (in your checked bag, obvs) without worrying about any spilling-related fiascos.
Promising reviews: "On the last few trips, I have found bourbon or wine but was not comfortable putting it in my travel luggage, and TSA will not allow it in a carry-on. This product eliminated that concern and worked perfectly. I am definitely keeping one of these in a pocket of each piece of luggage I carry from now on." —B. Creager"It did exactly as it was supposed to. The bags protected two bottles of wine on our way back from Europe, and they were in soft-sided hiking backpacks, so I was very pleased they survived." —Stephanie BoweGet a pack of three for $13.99+ (available in four styles).
An add-a-bag luggage strap you can clip to a backpack, suitcase, or purse to free your hands from carrying jackets, hats, shopping bags, or more luggage!
Promising review: "I thought this was a bit gimmicky, but I fell for it and gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised! One wears layers when traveling, and I usually run hot. However, I still need to carry a jacket for the cold planes or destination, etc. I usually tie it around my waist (ugly, I know) as a last resort or tuck it madly into my bag. I clipped this to my backpack, and it held my jacket perfectly! Easily accessible, and the jacket never dragged or fell. It also worked well to clip my backpack to my luggage while in between flights." —roxyseaPrice: $8.49+ (available in five colors and in a pack of two)
A travel pouch that attaches to your bra so you can keep cash and cards close to you without having to worry about pickpocketers stealing your most valuable items while you're exploring a new city.
A genuine pebble leather Bandolier phone case with a wallet and a strap so you can keep your phone close by for taking pics without having to hold it in your hand and risk losing it or dropping it.
A waterproof satin-lined Hairbrella hat small enough to fold up and keep in your bag because you did spend 45 minutes doing a blowout, and you don't want it to be ruined by some unexpected rain.
An Airfly wireless transmitter so you can connect your wireless Bluetooth headphones, like AirPods, to the airplane TV and marathon-watch hours of your favorite show without having to use the lower-quality ones they hand out on the plane.
A skyline mini wallet emergency kit filled with all the essentials you might need when you're traveling (i.e., Tylenol, a hair tie, etc.) but that's small enough to have in your carry-on bag and then throw in your bag when you're out and about. And it's available in 96 different skylines, so you can customize it to your trip.
A Master Lock portable safe if you're a chronically anxious person, like I am, and don't want to be distracted from enjoying your trip because you're worried about someone messing with your valuables back at your hotel room.
A set of packing cubes if you want to keep all your stuff organized and know exactly where everything is. I never travel without my packing cubes because they help me pack sooo much lighter and save tons of room in my bag! With these, fitting everything in your carry-on is a breeze. Smell ya later, checked luggage!
Or a set of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags so you can take advantage of all the space your ~seemingly~ tiny carry-on has to offer. Just throw your clothes in, zip up the bag, roll the air out, and watch your clothes shrink.
A TSA-approved toiletry carry-on to make going through TSA a breeze. With this, you won't have to take skincare products out to switch them into the see-through plastic bags they supply at the security line.
And finally, a luggage-mounted cup caddy with two slots, so you don't have to fret over spilling the drink you waited in line for 20 minutes to get when you're running across the terminal to make your flight to Heathrow.
