1. Carry-On Travel Backpack

This Travel Backpack is perfect to use as a carry-on. It is 100% waterproof and has breathable mesh padding, It features a large suitcase-style opening that makes filling it up a breeze. It also has a laptop pocket at the back, a shoe compartment, an additional lined front pocket for your cosmetics, and and anti-theft pocket on the back-side. The straps are padded and there is a strap to attach it to your suitcase! And there are SO many colours to choose from!

2. Airport-Approved Silicone Travel Bottles

These amazing bottles have anti-leak caps and are the perfect size to take in your carry-on! They come in a 4-pack and are PERFECT to store your favourite moisturizer, shampoo, conditioner, and sunscreen in an airport-approved size! They come in different colours so you'll know what is in each bottle and won't mix them up. The flexible silicone helps you squeeze every last bit out of the tube to maximize the usage!

3. Microfiber Quick-Dry Towel

If you're looking to save space in your suitcase but want to bring your own towel, these QUICK drying microfiber towels are AMAZING. They come in multiple sizes including a giant XXL (72" x 32") so you can pick the best one for your travel needs. Some choices even come in a pack of two! I love these for drying my hair and for how easy they dry. 

4. Portable Solar Power Bank

Keep your phone & devices charged with the power of the sun! I personally LOVE this sun-powered charging bank to keep my devices charged. Especially in sunny destinations or while camping. Now you do need to give the power bank a full-charge through an outlet first, but your battery life will be extended like magic, through the power of the sun. 

5. Packing Cubes

I love this set of packing cubes to help organize your suitcase! They come in a few different stylish colours so you can pick your fave! The set comes with 8 travel packing organizers including 3 mesh packing cubes, 1 secret packing cube, and 4 packing bags. Perfect for keeping things compartmentalized!

6. Travel Jewelry Organizer 

I never know which piece of jewelry I'm going to wear while I'm on vacation. I love this travel jewelry organizer that has a spot for each piece of jewelry. Rings, bracelets, earings, necklaces and more! There are two different compartments with zippers to make sure that your jewelry stays in place and doesn't get lost! 

7. Contoured Eye Sleep Mask (2 pack)

This set of two sleep masks for you and your travel buddy will help you (TRY) to get a little bit more sleep while on a long flight. Get a little bit more shut-eye without needing to worry about that person that has to have their reading light on, while on an overnight flight! Also great for hotel rooms that might not have the best curtains.

8. Universal Travel Adaptor

This universal travel adapter will have you covered and ready to charge your devices in any country you visit!
It has 3 USB, 1 USB type-C, and 1 regular plug for you to charge up to 5 devices at once. 

9. Waterproof Floating Phone Pouch

This pouch with a neckstrap will keep your phone dry AND it floats!! This is perfect for taking pictures in the pool, the ocean, or if you get stuck in a rainstorm. I personally love taking it when I'm out paddleboarding or kayaking. I can stay connected and not worry about damaging or loosing my phone if it were to fall in the water!

10. RFID Blocking Passport Holder & Travel Wallet

I love this passport holder and travel wallet! The RFID blocking is perfect to make sure your card information is safe and not stolen through your travels. It has multiple compartments including a zippered pocket. Highly recommended to store all of your travel documents, airline tickets, cards, money, and more!

11. TRLT Neck Pillow

This neck pillow is so compact and looks more like a fleecy neckscarf. It has a built-in support for your neck so you can sleep even in the dreaded middle-seat! Highly recommend!

12. Kindle Paperwhite

I personally love a good book or two while travelling. I've recently switched to a kindle that helps me bring a ton of books while saving so much space in my luggage. Buying books is also super easy in the Amazon store, but did you know you can also rent books from you local library to put on your Kindle? 

13. Resistance Band Set

If you're the type of person to workout while on vacation but maybe there isn't a gym where you're staying. This resistance band set has a huge variety of bands and accessories to help you get that workout in, and keep fit on your vacation! 

14. Anker Portable Speaker

This portable speaker has an outstanding sound and battery life for a pretty reasonable price. It is "outdoorproof" which protects it from rain, snow, dust, and spills. It's portability makes it perfect for taking on vacation and listening to music wherever you go! Oh, and you can pair two of them together for even bigger sound.

15. Towel Beach Chair Clips

I LOVE these super cute towel clips for beach and pool chairs. I used to always complain about my towel flying off my chair in the wind, or readjusting in my seat and the towel would fall down. It was so frustrating! These clips will prevent that and will also help you remember which chair is yours if you've stepped away and it's a busy day on the beach!

16. Hanging Toiletry Bag

Keep your toiletries in one place with 4 different interior compartments, including a waterproof compartment to separate your things. The hook is perfect for hanging it up in the bathroom and save precious counter space! I love mine and take it every time I go away. 

17. Tide To Go

If you're anything like me, keeping your shirt clean at dinner is impossible. I've always carried Tide To Go in my purse and it's perfect for vacations as well. You never know when that spill or slop might happen. Might as well have a quick way to clean it up, in your purse or suitcase! 

18. Snorkeling Gear - Mask, Fins, and more!

This snorkelling set is perfect for the beach traveller! The full face masks have become so popular for an easier way to breathe underwater and a better viewing area. You can select your fin size too! This set comes with some nice bonuses too - a snorkel bag to store your gear, a waterproof phone pouch, and a beach towel in an easy carrying bag. I personally don't like using the snorkels at the resort so I will usually bring my own if I plan on snorkeling on vacation. 

19. Stainless Steel Straws

In effort to reduce plastic waste and protect the oceans, many resorts have parted ways with straws for drinks. I personally LOVE my frozen margaritas, pina coladas and frozen mojitos, and drinking these without a straw can be SO challenging. I highly recommend brining a set of reusable straws with you so that you can enjoy your drinks and still be sustainable!

20. Brümate Travel Mug

If you're a fan of keeping your drinks cold in the hot sun. I HIGHLY recommend getting this Brümate Imperial Pint - Travel Mug. I have forgetten my drink and returned to it hours later and there was STILL ice in it. The splash-proof lid is incredible too, as you can keep your drink sealed if you want to take it in the pool or as you dip your toes in the ocean.
