Amazon Travel Must Haves
Amazon is a great place to do all your travel-related shopping. I use the site to shop for all my travel necessities. My love of free shipping combined with the amazing selection of top-notch products makes it my go-to site. But I recognize navigating the millions of travel products to find those diamonds in the rough can be slightly overwhelming. So I’m here to do it for you. Below are all my vacation must haves and travel necessities.
I love sharing great travel products with you, my readers. Everything below has a 4-star or higher rating and is just a click away on Amazon. Please note, prices frequently change on Amazon, so just click on an item to check its current price and view more details.
Collapsible Water Bottle
A reusable water bottle that takes up very little space is worth its weight in gold. No longer do you have to pay those exorbitant bottled water prices at the airport simply to stay hydrated on your trip. These water bottles collapse to easily fit in any bag. They’re sure to be one travel item you can’t live without.
Universal Plug Adapter
A universal travel adapter ranks high on my list of must have travel items as it’s absolutely necessary for international travel. I love this little rose gold adapter which features a whopping 4 USB ports. Let’s face it, these days USB charging is where it’s at.
Twelve South Airfly’s Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter
Tired of using the airline’s low-quality earbuds to watch your inflight entertainment? This handy Bluetooth wireless audio transmitter by Twelve South Airfly can pair easily with any wireless headphones. Now you can relax and enjoy Top Gun: Maverick the way the good lord intended, with your own noise-cancelling headphones.
Packing Cubes
I did a whole post on the best possible packing cubes not too long ago. If I had to pick a favorite, I would be this 8-piece deluxe compression packing cubes set. The set includes 1 medium and 2 large HybridMax compression cubes, 2 small compression cubes, 2 accessory bags, 1 laundry/shoe bag, and 50 luggage tag cards. You can stay organized and store more in style with Well Traveled’s travel compression bags. They’re sturdy and durable and the double-capacity design saves 60% more space. They come in a variety of colors and include labels so you can keep all your belongings sorted in style.
A Great Luggage Set
Any list of travel must haves from Amazon needs to include a great luggage set. You’ll want to have a solid set of bags that won’t get knocked apart by the airlines. I recommend this awesome set from Cool Life which comes in a variety of cool colors.
Luggage Tags
One you have your bags you’ll need to identify them in a lineup. One easy way to do that is with some unique luggage tags. This set of 8 leather luggage tags comes in a wide variety of colors guaranteed to set your bag apart.
A Luggage Scale
Avoid hefty bag fees by weighing your bag beforehand. And avoid awkwardly balancing your bag on the bathroom scale with this handy bag scale.
Noise Canceling Headphones
My number one must have when traveling is a great pair of noise-canceling headphones. Block out the world around you and relax on those long flights with Bose Quiet Comfort headphones. I received the pair below as a gift several years ago and I never leave home without them.
Sleep Mask
An eye mask is a must have for long-haul flights. Also, a pro tip for anxious flyers, I find wearing an eye mask and noise-canceling headphones helps me to relax and block out the world around me.
A Packing List
Afraid you’ll forget something? Try Knock Knock’s Pack This! Travel Essentials List. This is one of my favorite Amazon travel finds. Sure, you could make your own travel packing list, but this is an inexpensive item and for an anxious person like me who’s always afraid of forgetting something, it helps put my mind at ease. It includes all your traveling must haves and comes in neatly organized sections so you can check off all the boxes before you leave home.
A Travel Jewelry Box
Keep your jewelry from becoming a tangled mess with this must have travel jewelry box. Take your pick from several chic colors. Keeping everything in its own separate space saves you time from having to detangle necklaces and bracelets and keeps your jewelry safe.
A Toiletry Bag
Keep your lotions potions and toothpaste organized with this handy hanging toiletry bag. It even includes a clear bag to put your liquids in for easier passage through those TSA lines. Fit all your bathroom must haves for traveling into these neatly organized compartments.
If you’re someone with a chronic illness like me, one of my travel tips is to use a hanging toiletry bag like this just for your prescriptions. It helps keep me organized, especially when traveling internationally.
Rechargeable Toothbrush
High on my list of traveling must haves is this brilliant travel toothbrush. I’m obsessed with my Phillips Sonicare One toothbrush. One charge lasted me through nearly two years worth of travel and my teeth have never been cleaner. I even love the adorable little case it comes in. The toothbrush is available in a variety of colors, but as you’ve probably noticed by now, I have a deep love for pink and rose gold travel accessories.
A Power Bank
A portable charger is an absolute must have for travelers. This fast charge portable charger has gotten me through many trips around the world and I love the rose gold color.
Combination Contact Lens and Glasses Case
As someone who travels with glasses and contacts, I love this handy combo case. It’s nice not having to root around my bag looking for separate containers.
A Belt Bag
Many people like having a belt bag as part of their travel must haves. But as a plus-size woman, I often have trouble finding a belt bag that fits. This belt bag comes with a handy extension belt guaranteed to fit most body types.
Leak Proof Travel Bottles
I love these for visiting friends and family when I opt to bring my own shampoo and conditioner. These must have travel items come in a variety of colors and offer leak-proof protection so you know you won’t land and find a mess in your bag.
A Hat Clip
A hat may not be part of your vacation must haves, but if you’re jetting off to that beach vacation, you may want to pack one. I used to struggle with how to pack a hat. Bringing a hat box just seemed like a bulky addition to my luggage and packing it in my suitcase just lead to it getting squashed. These hat clips are the perfect solution for keeping your hat in good condition on the road.
Travel Pillow
Travel pillows are one of my favorite travel accessories when I’m flying long distances. I need the extra support for my arthritic neck and back. I love this memory foam adjustable pillow because it can be used for neck and lumbar support.
Travel Makeup Brush Kit
If you’re a frequent traveler who applies make up on the road it’s worth investing in a smaller brush kit to use on the go. I find these really helpful and easy to carry versus the brush kit I usually use at home.
An Anti-Theft Bag
One of my top travel essentials for women is a great anti-theft messenger bag. I’ve had mine for nearly 10 years and it travels with me wherever I go.
A Travel Wallet and Passport Holder
This inexpensive leather RFID blocking wallet and passport cover comes in a wide variety of colors. (I own 4 of them.) It’s easy to match any style and keep all of your items sorted.
A Kindle
If you’re making a list of travel Amazon must haves you’d be a fool not to include the Kindle. Sure, at home I prefer to read a good, old-fashioned book, but on the road, I like to get rid of the bulk and bring my Kindle.
A Convenience Kit
When it comes to toiletry travel must-haves, Amazon sells a variety of amazing convenience kits that come with everything you need. No longer do you have to purchase a bunch of travel-sized products at the drugstore. Everything you need is packed into one small bag.
Blister Band Aids
These should be part of any travelers must haves if they plan on doing a lot of walking. They’re little miracle pads that fit over your blister and leave your feet feeling good as new. I personally have very sensitive skin that’s prone to blistering and cannot live without these.
A Travel Blanket and Pillow
If you get chilly on planes you know the blankets airlines provide are woefully insufficient. If you’re looking for something a little more snuggly that won’t take up much space, check out this cozy blanket and pillow combo.
Compression Socks
I’m obsessed with comfortable, cool, compression socks. In fact, I wrote a whole post about compression socks that come in fun, cool colors. Compression socks are definite international travel must haves for long flights. I’ve gotten edema while traveling and it is 100% not fun. Lesson learned. Invest in a great pair of compression socks.
Olly Sleep Gummies
If you have trouble sleeping when traveling or you find yourself having a dilly of a time adjusting to new time zones and avoiding jet lag, I suggest these amazing sleep gummies from Olly.
An Electronics Organizer
I hate having loose cords and can never seem to find the right adapter, SD card, or charger, which is why I invested in this awesome Bagsmart electronics organizer.
Sunblock
Safety first! Always make sure to protect your skin and practice good sun safety. I adore this cute little travel kit from Sun Bum.
A Heated Seat Cushion
One of my road trip essentials is having a heated seat back. After 3 spinal fusions, I get terribly uncomfortable on long trips. If your car doesn’t come with heated seats, I recommend this awesome heated seat cushion.
Airplane Phone Mount
If you like to watch your phone on long trips, you’ll love this hands-free phone mount. It’s also quite good for keeping kids entertained.
Clorox Wipes
If you’re a germaphobe like me, you’ll appreciate having a travel pack of Clorox wipes to wipe down all those icky shared surfaces.
