Cases, totes, and packing cubes from the Bag-all brand spell out exactly what’s inside in the most stylish way. Give this travel laundry bag to your most organized friend, or anyone who wants to make post-trip unpacking easier. Plus, we can picture this laundry bag racking up likes in an Instagram flat-lay post, posed next to an Away suitcase and Prada sunglasses.
We always hope for good weather on a vacation, but you never know. That’s why everyone can use this travel-size umbrella from Samsonite, which comes with a matching carrying case. The umbrella is flat, weighs less than half a pound, and takes up next to no space in a suitcase, duffle bag, or purse — making it handy in unexpected downpours.
For the world traveler who cares about convenience, this outlet adapter is the ideal multitool to throw in their carry-on. The universal travel adapter from Tessan works in more than 200 countries. It has 2 USB-A ports, 3 USB-C ports, and a universal AC outlet, so you can charge all of your gadgets at once.
For the jet setter who’s usually racking up passport stamps, Where To Go When: Unforgettable Trips for Every Month from DK Eyewitness might inspire a fabulous future trip. The photo-heavy book aims to tell readers the best time to visit destinations all over the globe, from Kyoto to Kauai.
Sometimes the littlest things spark joy (right, Marie Kondo?). For us, it’s taking an everyday routine and making it a little more organized and well, polished — as seen in this sleek and minimalist day-of-the-week pill box from the brand Port and Polish. Keep all your vitamins, supplements, and pills together and ready for impromptu getaways in this plastic case with a built-in mirror and several different color choices.

Just thread the charger and cables connector into the dock, stack up a watch and earbuds, and set it all up on the hotel nightstand to charge for the next morning.
This satin sleep mask is the ideal gift for any sleeping beauty, especially the ones who need total darkness to fall asleep. It’s comfortable, and the satin won’t absorb moisture from their skin, keeping it hydrated all night.
