These Editor-Approved Travel Accessories Are on Sale for Prime Day 2025
Deals and pricing updated as of 5:05 p.m. on July 9, 2025. Amazon Prime Day is here—and there's no better time for travelers to refresh their gear and save big with top deals on travel accessories. The annual mega-sale returns this year bigger and better than ever, with thousands of deals across all major categories. We're excited to see Amazon's steepest discounts of the year on some of the most essential travel accessories, from noise-canceling headphones and wearable tech to portable steamers, tote bags, and toiletry bags. These are the travel accessories that help make the journey on any long-haul flight, cross-country road trip, or transatlantic cruise that much smoother—and many of them are editor-tested and approved. Below, we gathered all the can't-miss Amazon Prime Day travel accessory deals to shop now, with discounts as high as 60% off. While deals run through Friday, July 11, there is no guarantee bestsellers will still be in stock, so don't delay adding something to your shopping cart ASAP. For even more Prime Day sales, head to Traveler's Amazon Storefront. Top picks Wearable tech One of this year's top Prime Day deals is on the popular Oura Ring. The smart ring is a favorite of mine, and it's currently 15% off for Prime members. The Oura Ring tracks your sleep patterns, daily steps, and heart rate, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your goals while traveling. Also on sale: smart watches and fitness trackers designed for active travelers on the go from Apple, Garmin, Samsung, Fitbit, and more. Noise-canceling headphones Noise-canceling headphones were among our readers' most-purchased items last Prime Day, so we're glad to see bestsellers from Apple, Beats, Marshall, Sony, and Soundcore are discounted again. Whether you're trying to block out noisy plane neighbors or listen to your favorite podcast on your daily commutes, a high-quality pair of headphones is always essential. E-readers Prime Day is a great time to save on a new e-reader: The Kindle Paperwhite, Paperwhite Essentials Bundle, and Scribe are currently 30% off. These lightweight gadgets keep you entertained on flights and train rides without the bulk that comes with packing heavy books in your backpack. And if you already love your Kindle, grab this remote-controlled page turner that makes reading in bed a whole lot easier. Portable chargers Never worry about your phone dying just before takeoff ever again. A portable charger takes up minimal space in your backpack or tote bag and ensures you're always powered up. A few of our favorite compact chargers are currently on sale. Portable fans Portable fans are key to staying cool this summer, whether you're waiting in line at a concert or lying by the pool. These editor-approved fans are extremely lightweight and easy to stash in a fanny pack or crossbody bag. They have a few different speeds and pretty good battery life for such small devices. Lightweight steamers Sure, some hotels have irons, but they don't always do the job at dewrinkling formal dresses or suits. It's a smart idea to bring along your own steamer that won't take up a ton of space or weight in your suitcase, but still works well. Many of our favorites that have been tested and reviewed are on sale right now, including editor-favorites from Nesugar, Hilife, and Proctor. Tote bags A trusty tote bag is a must-have for any beach trip or day at the farmer's market. I always pack one in my carry-on to hold souvenirs I pick up during a day of sightseeing. Below, a few stylish, packable tote bags on sale that we love, including Bagsmart's puffer-life tote and Simple Modern's waterproof bag that has enough room for the whole family's beach day essentials. Handbags We're also seeing great deals on handbags, from chic shoulder bags to versatile crossbody bags. These stylish bags are easy to transition from daytime shopping to evening dinners in town. Go for a neutral hue like ivory, black, or camel that will match most of the outfits in your capsule wardrobe. Travel pillows Make sure to bring a supportive neck pillow with you on your next red-eye. These ultra-soft pillows help keep you a little more comfortable in that cramped middle seat. Many travel pillows on the market are bulky, but there are plenty of options on Amazon that are lightweight, supportive, and best of all, packable. Find a few of our favorites below that all happen to be on sale. Sleep masks Speaking of catching some in-flight z's, a super-soft sleep mask is a non-negotiable. These masks help block out light and soothe you as you soar through the sky. I also use an eye mask when I arrive at a destination in a different time zone, when I need a nap during the day, and have to pretend it's nighttime. Toiletry bags Every traveler needs a roomy Dopp kit that can hold toiletries, skincare essentials, and makeup. Many of our go-to toiletry bags, like this best-selling hanging kit from Bagsmart, are currently discounted. Below, you'll find options ranging in size and shape, with nice features like water-resistant exteriors and separate compartments. We also included an easy-to-clean makeup brush holder with a magnetic closure that fits nicely in any weekender bag. Toiletry bottles We're also seeing discounts on reusable toiletry bottles. These leakproof bottles hold shampoo, conditioner, face wash, serums, sunscreen, and more without the fuss of buying miniature versions of all your everyday products. If you want to ditch the plastic and upgrade your current set of toiletry bottles, go for Cadence capsules (a favorite of mine). These leakproof capsules are magnetic and designed without any right angles, so they're easy to clean and refill again and again. The Flex Extender lets you add more product inside a capsule, which is especially nice for longer vacations. I pack a few of these capsules on every trip. Packing cubes If you haven't tried packing cubes yet (seriously, why?), now is the perfect time. Several packing cubes, including compressible versions, are part of Amazon Prime Day's travel accessories discounts. Whether you're a chronic overpacker who needs to save some extra room or a traveler who just wants to separate their shoes and dirty clothes, packing cubes will always come in handy. I never travel without them! Reusable water bottles A well-insulated reusable water bottle comes in handy on every trip, but especially those in hot and humid climates. Owala's FreeSip bottle is an editor-favorite for its leakproof mouthpiece, while Stanley's viral tumbler has gained a bit of cult following for its sleek look. Travel umbrellas These lightweight umbrellas are great for travelers who are headed to rainy cities. They don't weigh down your tote bag and come in handy if you get caught in a downpour. Bestsellers from Weatherman and Repel are both on sale for Prime Day, making now a great time to snag a new, reliable umbrella.

Flight Attendants and Frequent Fliers Alike Love This ‘Perfect' Travel Organizer—and It's Only $10 at Amazon
People have many opinions on which travel accessories are the best, from compression packing cubes that save luggage space to toiletry bags that can hang on the bathroom door. However, one underrated item that should be on every list is a tech organizer, because you do not want to deal with tangled cords and misplaced power adapters while you're on a trip. With a well-designed electronics case, everything from memory cards to portable chargers lives in one organized place. The top-selling tech organizer on Amazon is the most obvious choice, with over 30,000 ratings, including from the most practiced packing experts—flight attendants. We read through their reviews to find out why, astonishingly, one of these sells every three minutes. The FYY travel cable organizer pouch is 'the exact solution to the tangle of wire, chargers, reserve batteries, camera cards, etc.,' one reviewer wrote. The smallest size—7.5 by 4 inches—has eight pockets across two main zipper compartments. The pockets vary in size, some being small enough for a little flash drive and others large enough to fit the beefiest of portable chargers. For one flight attendant, it's the 'perfect system' that not only keeps items together and organized, but it also ensures some of the most fragile and valuable things you travel with stay safe from spills and jostling thanks to the padded, waterproof shell. There's a medium size (about eight by five inches and 2.5 inches deep) and a large size (9.5 by six by three) for travelers with more gear to tote. And, this organizer comes in a whopping 23 colors, so you can personalize it to match the rest of your travel gear. Reviewers credit the $10 case for bringing organization into their lives, both on the road and at home. For instance, one parent of a flight attendant bought it for their daughter because it can hold 'a little of everything,' like chargers, Band-Aids, medicine, and jewelry. Plenty of people say they use theirs every day, including one reviewer who lives in a tiny home and wrote that 'the constant tangle of cords and Bluetooth devices and external batteries was maddening,' but this 'perfect little organizer' provided an easy solution. 'We can stuff two people's worth of tiny tech and cords in here, zip it, and hang it on the hook near our keys, and the mess is no longer.' Feeling inspired to sort and assemble your gadgets now? We compiled more of the top-selling travel tech organizers to shop for as little as $6 below. At the time of publishing, the price started at $10. Love a great deal?

D2C Travel Brand EUME Raises INR 25 Cr in Series A
The round was led by renowned investor Ashish Kacholia, with participation from existing backers Pradeep Rathod of Cello Group and Prithviraj Kothari of Arvog Financial. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Mumbai-based D2C luggage and travel accessories brand EUME has successfully raised INR 25 crore (approximately USD 3 million) in its Series A equity round. The round was led by renowned investor Ashish Kacholia, with participation from existing backers Pradeep Rathod of Cello Group and Prithviraj Kothari of Arvog Financial. This follows a previous INR 15 crore round led by Kacholia in June last year, signaling strong continued confidence in the brand's vision. The newly raised capital will be strategically deployed to scale EUME's retail presence across India, strengthen its core team, accelerate marketing, and enhance working capital. The goal is to cement EUME's position as a premium player in the travel accessories segment, targeting discerning consumers across both metro and Tier I markets. Founded by Naina Parekh and Pranay Parekh, EUME started as a design-led luggage brand and has built a loyal customer base through striking brand collaborations with marquee events such as the Tata Mumbai Marathon and SulaFest. The brand is now gearing up to open three flagship stores within the next 45 days — at Mall of Asia in Bengaluru, Oberoi Sky City in Mumbai, and Sarath City in Hyderabad — as part of its aggressive offline expansion strategy. "Our vision is to become India's premier luggage brand — and for that, strong marketing is non-negotiable," said Naina Parekh, Founder of EUME. "We aim to bring next-level product innovation rooted in convenience, paired with aspirational marketing that positions EUME as the go-to brand for every travel need." EUME's offerings span premium travel luggage, backpacks, and accessories, with plans to expand further across travel categories. The brand is growing rapidly across both B2C and B2B channels, including corporate gifting partnerships. Pranay Parekh, Co-founder, emphasised, "Offline retail is crucial for us now. Our pricing strategy and premium designs work brilliantly in both online and in-person experiences. We are also proud to be the official gifting partner for various corporates, reinforcing our presence in both retail and enterprise segments." Lead investor Ashish Kacholia summed it up: "EUME has consistently demonstrated bold vision and flawless execution. Their innovation, design language, and quality are unmatched. I believe EUME is a long-term winner in the travel category."
