A Trtl neck pillow

A travel adapter and voltage converter
Promising review: “Worked perfectly on a recent trip to England and France. I used it to power a MacBook Air, a Windows laptop, two iPhones, and two portable chargers. I like the design of the case. The form factor is so much sleeker than most of the other travel transformers available. One thing I didn’t realize when I ordered it (because I was in a hurry and didn’t read the specs thoroughly) is that this device has a fan to dissipate heat from stepping down the voltage. While the fan is not extremely loud, neither is it silent. I found it a pleasant source of white noise that actually helped me sleep at night, but you might not.” — Lake Mist

A flight attendant-approved off-shoulder jumpsuit

Pond Los Angeles
And a clever hoodie with a built-in eye mask
Promising review: “I fly a lot and am constantly trying to find a hoodie with a big hood to cover my eyes so I can catch up on some beauty sleep on flights. I saw this product on Instagram and knew it would be a game changer. I was able to use it recently for the first time on an early-morning flight, and let me tell you, it is EVERYTHING I was looking for and more. It’s comfy, cozy, oversized, and the eye covers make you feel like you’re in a whole other world and not packed like a sardine on a plane. My over ear headphone fit perfectly under it and I got the best sleep I’ve had on a plane — EVER! Like other reviews have said, it is big, so size down if you want something a little more snug. I have been wearing it every day at home and can’t wait to get the black and blush ones!” — Heather G.

A box of Mighty Patch pimple, blemish, and zit patches
Promising review: “I do not claim to understand the science behind these tiny miracles, but they have changed my life. I spent my workday looking forward to going home and putting one of these bad boys on my newly erupted Mt. Zit and the overnight results were shocking. Not only is it grossly satisfying, but it saved me several days of walking around with a bloody crater in my face because my previous method of dealing with unsightly blemishes was to pick pick pick.” — Adg

Allbirds
A classic pair of ultra-comfy Allbirds sneakers
Promising review: “Just spent a week in Paris and these were the most comfortable shoes for hours of sightseeing and trekking around the city every day! My feet were happy, and they looked so cute with jeans and casual skirts, and were easy to keep clean, too. My new favorite shoes!” — Jessica G.

Or a bestselling Adidas running shoe

A portable white noise machine
Promising review: “Wonderful sound machine. Compact enough for travel. We took ours on vacation and are so glad we did. This drowns out hotel noises perfectly! I like how small it is when on my dresser at home, too. So thankful for the non-looping sound. Would recommend over and over again.” — Hill.jess

An in-flight foot hammock

Mr. Crafter / Etsy
A refined leather electronics organizer
Mr. Crafter is a small biz that specializes in personalized leather travel and tech accessories.
Promising review: “Absolutely beautiful! The custom lettering came out perfectly and it can easily hold two battery packs and all the cords we could ever need for traveling with cellphones, iPads and our Switch. So pleased with the craftsmanship! Wonderful purchase. Sarah Kavaljian

A digital luggage scale
Promising review: “This scale works and was accurate on four flights. First flight was a test at 46 pounds and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the 4th flight weighed 49 but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low cost must have item for air travel.” —Robert
Another promising review: “Love it! Lightweight and easy to read! It even gives you the climate temperature (not that I need it but a neat feature). It reads in both kg and lbs. Definitely recommend if you’re a frequent traveler and have weight requirements on luggage.” — Patricia Velasquez

Rebecca O’Connell / BuzzFeed
A nifty gadget called the Bug Bite Thing
Promising review: “I bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and I have been having issues with mosquito bites. Used it a few time to relieve itchiness, and I am convinced it works! I have been recommending it to my family and friends. Read the directions and follow them carefully. Don’t use this on your face or neck, or other sensitive areas. Don’t do a lot of suction, just a little bit. And do it a few times if needed. Great invention!” — Joe

Some in-flight earplugs

A luggage-mounted cup caddy

Béis
A faux leather Béis seatback organizer
Promising review: “This is the perfect travel accessory I never knew I needed! I’m a travel dork who likes to get all situated and prepared for a long flight. I need my lip gloss and hand lotion in close reach at all times. And now hand sanitizer and wipes as well. All of the little pockets are great. Besides those items, I also packed my Kindle, earbuds, phone, moisturizer, and pens for our customs forms (because ultimately there’s going to be someone around you that forgot their pen!). No more reaching into the seat-back pocket and finding someone’s melted chocolate wrapper, gum, or dirty tissue. No more phone falling through a rip in the pocket. Every travel nerd needs this!!” — Shelby D.

And a pair of Apple AirPods Pro with noise cancellation
And here’s more from BuzzFeed Shopping’s Emma Lord: “I have a pair of these, and they’re not playing around. Once they’re securely in your ear, you can toggle the headphones between noise-cancelling and regular sound, depending on your situation. I’ve been working from home, and the noise canceling is so effective that I can work next to a window where my neighbor is doing heavy construction and I don’t hear anything louder than a faint buzzing. It’s quieter than if I’d just plugged my ears with my own fingers. I’m also a runner, and these don’t budge when you’re sweating, which is nice. It’s also handy that these toggle out of noise-cancellation mode, because I feel better being able to hear traffic and other people around me when I’m out and about. The TL;DR is: I love these so much I have zero interest in owning another pair of headphones for as long as I live.”

Plus an AirFly Pro wireless transmitter
Twelve South is a husband and wife-owned biz based in Charleston, South Carolina, and has just 20 team members! They’ve been designing accessories inspired by and made for Apple products since 2009.
Promising review: “Ever since I purchased my wireless Bose earbuds, I always hated having to use another set when I was on an airplane with the seat-back entertainment system. I tried many different models to connect the system to my Bluetooth headsets until I came across this one, and it is amazing! It seamlessly connects to my headset, very clear and reliable audio, and it takes the stress away from having to carry multiple headsets! Thank you!!!” — Ryan Malloy

A 100% waterproof, satin-lined Hairbrella
Promising review: “Awesome hat, a must-have for hairdos. I get my hair done often and don’t want to destroy a great hairdo. I have been out in a rainstorm and taken it on the log ride into the splash down, hair stayed nice and dry. Love it so much I fold it up and keep it in my purse! It even has a ponytail pouch hidden in it.” — applekoolaid
Another promising review: “This hat arrived just in time for my trip to Niagara Falls. I have braids and this hat protected my hair completely. The visor provided excellent protection on The Maid Of The Mist as well as the walk behind the falls. This is a must have.” — sandra l darrett

Amazon
A sneaky anti-theft backpack
Promising review: “This is a great backpack for travel or everyday use. I love that it is not heavy and bulky. It is a perfect size! This bag not only keeps your valuables secure, but it also has great organized areas to keep your things neat without falling to the bottom.I also love the fact that it has a back, zip pocket so your wallet can be secure against your back. I love this bag and I know I will use it over and over without the heaviness of a bulky backpack on my back.” — Dawn

Or a chic nylon anti-theft backpack

A low-key brilliant Alleyoop Pen Pal
Promising review: “Such a time saver to have this 4-in-1 tool! I use it daily and love that it is so compact.” — Lauren F.

A collapsible stroller that folds up so small
Promising review: “Best stroller ever! WE LOVE THIS STROLLER! My husband originally purchased it because I was afraid to take our big stroller on the plane to gate check. I was traveling alone, so ease of use and portability was really important. I was amazed at how convenient it was to collapse and slide under my seat on the plane and it maneuvered well through the airport and throughout our trip. I received multiple compliments and a few moms even asked me where to buy one. Since then, we have been on a few more flights and many excursions and are still in love with this purchase!” — Amazon Customer

Amazon
A portable espresso maker
Promising review: “This works so well for camping for a quick coffee craving! Took this camping over the weekend and used it a few times at the office. Depending on the grinds you use, it’s good for a light single espresso shot or if you reuse the same grinds and purge three capfuls of water through the filter, you’ll get a full cup of coffee. Works great without lugging a glass press around in your backpacking or camp gear! Easy to clean and store away with the retractable priming handle.” — SocKeTPupPet

A set of Sea Bands to wear on your wrists when you wanna kick nausea to the curb

And a roll-on migraine stick

CeeBee’s Cases LLC / Etsy
An iPhone adapter case that attaches to a keychain
Promising review: “I love it. I’m always losing my cord or leaving it in my other jacket or pants pocket. Now, all I have to do is put it back on my keyring. Brilliant!!!” — Mel

A pair of compression socks

A collapsible water bottle
Promising review: “Well this is the coolest thing ever! I travel quite a bit, and I usually don’t take a bottle with me because they are big and bulky and I usually lose them! This collapsible water bottle is a perfect traveling accessory. It stays collapsed until after security, and then I fill it up for the trip. It’s a good size and fits in my side compartment in my travel backpack, and the cap screws in securely so I don’t have to worry about it opening accidentally and spilling all over the place. I follow the instructions on how to clean it and it works just fine.” — M. Lyons

Cadence
A — how do I put this? — GORGEOUS set of containers for storing your pills
BuzzFeed Shopping’s Abby Kass is a fan: “I recently got a set of four of these, and, wow, I love them so much. I used them on a six-day trip recently, and they were perfect. I customized the label so I knew which one was my shampoo vs. conditioner and did a general label for any other things I wanted to bring along. They do hold a surprising amount. According to the brand, they hold approximately one to two weeks of skincare products, more than two weeks’ worth of serum, two to three days’ worth of haircare, and more than 15 tablets (for medicine and such). And while two to three days worth of haircare might not seem like enough, I found it held more than that for me, but I also don’t wash my hair every single day. They were small enough to slip right into my toiletries bag and go through TSA with no problem. The container was easy to open in the shower (even with wet hands), and I had no leakage from them (like I did from my face wash bottle that will not be making the trip with me next time. SMH). These are an incredibly useful tool anyone who travels will want in their luggage.”

A beautiful luggage tag that’ll set your all-black suitcase apart
Promising review: “I purchased these for a trip to Hawaii. I love the design and was primarily wanting them to differentiate my luggage from other travelers on the luggage belt. But little did I know they would be so much more effective in locating my luggage elsewhere. My connecting flight was delayed, and for some reason the airline left my luggage at the airport, while I went on to my destination in Hawaii, the luggage didn’t follow. When I realized this, I alerted baggage claim and they had me fill out all the paperwork. The one question they had, is whether my luggage looked different than other dark colored mid sized pieces. Yes it did, it had these luggage tags on it, and that’s what the luggage claims administrator put as the distinguishing feature. By that night, they had found my luggage and flown it from California to Hawaii on the next flight. I was relieved to have had these attached to my bags. I would highly recommend these for your luggage as well.” — TX Divemaster

Henney’s Boutique / Etsy
A luxe-looking passport and vaccination card holder
Promising review: “I love this! I bought one for myself, then one for my husband, then I’ve been sending the link to everyone who asks me where I got it… They’re the best for keeping both your passport and your vaccine card safe for travel.” — Paige Devlin

Nordstrom
A beautiful Tory Burch ballet flat specifically designed for travel

Or if you’re looking for a less splurgy option, a lovely flat that comes in many gorgeous colors
Promising review: “I normally cannot wear flats because they give me terrible blisters on the back of my feet. These didn’t! Bought these in nude for a city vacation with a lot of walking, but where sandals aren’t necessarily worn and these were perfect! They obviously don’t have the support of sneakers, but I am so happy to finally have a cheap pair of flats that don’t give me blisters. I did break them in with thin socks on around my house before wearing them out and when possible, I wear them with little sock liners. Also — I was able to fold these in half like Tieks and fit them in a semi-small purse to change into to dance at a wedding! Score!” — Kate

Amazon
A handy mesh shoe pouch

Gravel
An all-encompassing travel blanket
Promising review: “Used this on my recent air flight and LOVED IT!!! I could use it as a pillow, and then when I got cold, opened it, stuck my feet in, and snapped the snap…stuck my head though and slept for the first time EVER on a plane!! Then, when landing, easily stuffed it back into a pillow and snapped to onto my under seat bag, and off on my adventure I went!!!” — Stacy S.

A mini contact lens kit
Promising review: “When I travel, I worry about misplacing my contacts, so this will hep me keep them in a safe place, easy to find.”— Tamara G.
Another promising review: “Great product for the price!! Super cute!! Small and perfect for traveling, in your car, purse, or pocket!! The tongs have a super soft silicone type grip on the ends so they won’t hurt your lenses. I am very impressed!! I would recommend to everyone!! Great product, great price!! Will purchase again!!” — Loni H. Rhymes

Jonley Gifts / Etsy
The cutest travel games set
Promising review: “So adorable! Out of several similar travel game options, my kids liked this one best. The quality is amazing for the price.” — Samantha Grace

And a Kindle Paperwhite

Jasmin Sandal / BuzzFeed
Some vacuum storage bags
Promising review: “I’ve used these bags before and they are so helpful. Even used the medium one for travel and I have tons of extra suitcase room. The clothes don’t come out wrinkled at all as long as you fold them nicely before placing in the bag, then the air sucks out keeping them safe and sound and very compact. Arrived on time, would use this seller again.” — Susie Kochsmeier

Cincha Travel
A stylish travel belt
Cincha Travel is a small BIPOC-owned biz based in Oakland, California, specializing in adjustable vegan leather travel belts. The brand donates 100 airline miles for each purchase to help reunite migrant families.
Promising review: “Such a simple yet brilliant solution for the ever falling bag when trying to juggle all your luggage. It definitely made traveling less stressful.” — Samantha

A set of portable soap paper sheets

And a handy pack of Clorox disinfecting wipes
Promising review: “Great-sized packets and perfect for airplanes and the car. The scent smells clean and not overpowering. They give me peace of mind that my surfaces are clean.” — Cindy A

And finally, a sleek folding travel mirror with adjustable brightness levels
Promising review: “Absolute must for travel. Hotels and Airbnbs rarely have both good lighting and a good mirror to sit down and do your makeup at. With this guy though, you won’t have that worry. The different lights are wonderful for different settings; the mirror is sturdy and lightweight. It does not feel cheap at all, in fact, it is the best travel mirror I have purchased. I am now using this on a daily basis, so I think it was an awesome find, not just for traveling but also for every day! It also is really slim and fits in your carry-on easily.” — Alexandra
