McCormick's "I'm A Total Spud" Potato Topping Seasoning you should try if you're not afraid to get a little feral about your air-fried, mashed, and baked potatoes — this blend of salt, garlic, and asiago cheese is so mouthwateringly delicious that you'll be dumping it on everything from popcorn to grilled cheese to guacamole. A limited edition (!!) Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" so good that reviewers say it's better than Carmex for healing and better than Summer Fridays for quality. Lip care that also tastes like you're perpetually eating a s'more for less than $5?? My friends, life is good. A "Penny the Penguin" silicone measuring cup designed with an easy grip, an even easier spout pour, and a design so adorable that you'll bake yourself out of house and home just for an excuse to use her.

A reusable silicone cactus dryer ball that pet owners especially love because it catches hair like nobody's business. These lil' desert bubs also help soften fabric, reduce wrinkles, *and* save drying time, so they're putting all the decorative but useless succulents in your home to shame. Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300 mg of caffeine per cup. 👀 Vacation's Classic Whip SPF 30, a wildly beloved "dessert for your skin" that feels so lightweight and decadent to apply that reviewers can't get enough of it. (No, REALLY. This is selling out all over. 😭) Not only does it feel ridiculously indulgent, but it's water resistant and sensitive skin–friendly, so you'll be the sweetest AND safest treat.

A penguin-shaped egg cooker and holder that makes it ridiculously easy to make easy-, medium-, and hard-boiled eggs on the stove, *plus* keep them safe afterward.

30 Must-Have Products For Comfortable Travel
An adjustable infinity pillow designed with 360-degree support so you can sleep like royalty on your next long flight, despite being in economy seating. A reviewer-adored Cozy Spaces-themed coloring book to help out anyone who considers airplanes *anything* other than cozy. Put on your noise-canceling headphones and remind yourself that there's no need to think about anything other than coloring on your flight. This is designed to distract your busy brain with tiny bears making turnip tinctures and bugs decorating their overturned teacup homes. Cute. Or Beyond Bored, a 200-page activity book intended for entertaining adults in the most surprising (and hilariously mundane) ways possible. Its spiral-bound design makes it super easy to handle in small airplane seats, and the activities range from the "sensible sedan coloring sheet" to "complete the drawing tasks," involving trash raccoons who wish they were in Paris. One reviewer complained that there are too many haunted dolls in this book, and I've gotta when I knew I had to have it. A textured NeeDoh gumdrop that'll be the best stimming toy this side of Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory. These are made to be extra squishable with a satisfying weight *and* although they are silicone, they won't gather dust if packed into your carry-on. It's basically a real-life Everlasting Gobstopper, and it'll gladly keep you soothed when the flight gets a On The Fly, a *literal* airplane facial kit from Patchology with two hydrating face masks, both day and night eye gels, and a lip gel mask. Each piece is designed to be opened and applied while in the air, so you can be confident knowing they won't be too messy to use in the window seat. Give your skin a chance to relax during a long travel day and put this in your purse! The newest Kindle Paperwhite — the fastest Kindle yet — for anyone who genuinely thinks it's about the journey (aaand all the hours of uninterrupted reading they can sneak in on a flight) and not just the destination. A single charge can last up to 12 weeks, so go ahead and start reading Throne of Glass now (is this the second Sarah J. Mass reference I've made in this post? YES!). Plus, this is waterproof, so you can cry your heckin' eyes out after finishing the final book without waterlogging your reader. An AirFly wireless transmitter to connect your AirPods (or wireless headphones) to your airplane's screen the next time you travel, no Bluetooth needed!! Using the unimpressive corded headphones they hand out is far too tedious. Treat yourself to some modern, cord-free entertainment while in the air. A pair of Bose QuietComfort Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with three levels of noise cancellation, a mic and speaker perfect for calls, luscious deep bass, and up to 24 hours of music on a single charge. Snag these and they'll help you tune out the mouth sounds of the overzealous snacker you're sitting beside. A pair of compression socks — they're gonna have you swelling with gratitude when you realize your legs aren't swelling when you reach altitude. A Lugabug travel seat — this game-changing "chair" can attach to a carry-on suitcase so your tiny toddler isn't dragging their feet past every Cinnabon in the airport on the way to your gate. There many Cinnabons. And an all-terrain stroller so lightweight and compact it'll fit in the overhead bin on a plane. When your kid has been on a flight for hours, waiting for a stroller to be retrieved from storage after you deplane may feel like a millennium. Plus, this stroller can conquer all the cobblestone streets or rocky gravel paths your next outing may take you on! A cord-free portable charger for keeping your iPhone and iPad alive and making SURE you have all your preferred forms of at-home entertainment with you even while you're away. A cotton eye mask you can use when the child in the window seat won't stop playing eye-spy, despite the fact that the sun is shining right into your eyes *and* the fact that the only thing they've seen over the last two hours is, get this, clouds. A compact trash bin sure to save your upholstery from suckers, soda bottles, and all the other sticky substances your kids sneak into the car on your family vacation. Despite what your child thinks, cupholders are not, in fact, tiny trash cans. Dramamine can ease your mind (and your stomach) if you get queasy just thinking about all the twists and turns traveling can take. Plus, this formula won't make you too tired to enjoy the ride! And a pack of homeopathic jet-lag pills — they may just keep you from sleeping through your vacation, no matter how late your red-eye is. A packing checklist you can look at while on the road — keeping you confident that everything you need is packed up and on vacation with you. Don't stress, your shampoo is safe in your suitcase! A pack of shoe bags for keeping your potentially stinky shoes from touching your perfectly pressed clothes while packing up. The thought of smelling like a shoebox while on your trip would make any anxious person extra uncomfortable — I'm speaking from experience here. A stick-on shade to block the sun's bright rays and *hopefully* make nap time easier in the back seat. A road trip sans toddler temper tantrums is about as uncomfortable as things get. Ask any parent! A memory foam cushion for keeping your rear in gear on particularly long drives. Keep your tush happy and comfortable through every bump in the road! A travel bag of aromatherapy essential oil towelettes — this is sure gonna be useful when you've traveled all day and can't have an actual shower. A flight flap that's moldable, durable, and almost as thin as a piece of paper. This can hold everything from a Kindle to an iPhone, keeping your electronics perfectly in place so you don't have to hold them throughout your flight. A passport wallet sure to help those of us who have a habit of losing passports and important papers the minute we book a flight. Use this and give yourself some peace of mind when you travel — all of your papers are *finally* in one organized place and easy to access. A set of decibel-reducing noise-canceling earplugs — these are gonna be great if you still wanna hear the overhead announcements but would rather not be stuck drowning in white noise the entire flight. An inflatable wedge pillow to give you some personal space (albeit, minimal) and help you sleep soundly even when you're stuck in the middle seat. A bottle of melatonin sleep gummies for travelers who have high anxiety up in the air and would far rather be dreaming than dreading upcoming turbulence. A travel Poo-Pourri that's small, subtle, and ready to save you from feeling down in the ~dumps~ when you really need to use the airplane toilet and know there's a line of people outside who are trying not to think about why you're taking so long. A Burt's Bees travel pack with just about everything your skin is gonna need on your next flight (hand lotion, body lotion, lip balm, and a foot cream). That recirculated air is gonna try and do a number on your skin, but you're gonna be ready! An anti-nausea pack with 14 pressure point pads and a pair of wristbands that just might save you from ralphing up your complimentary in-flight meal. And finally, a tin of perky mints with a strong taste that'll distract stressed-out travelers, freshen your breath, and keep you in ~mint~ condition the entire time you travel.
