Like most people, I love traveling. And also like most people, I hate packing. Every time I take a trip, I wind up overthinking what clothes to pack and worrying that I might forget something, so I started doing some research for items that will make packing easier and less stressful. Below are 12 products I have on my list to prepare for my next vacation.
Instead of throwing your toiletries in a plastic bag, try this water-resistant case. It has multiple interior compartments, a removable zip pouch, and a zipper closure to keep everything organized. One thing I almost always forget to pack is a laundry bag, so I found this four-pack that’s designed for different needs. The bundle also includes a dust bag to keep your shoes separate from the rest of your clothes and a zippered pouch that would be perfect for storing jewelry or toiletries.

Gillette Venus Extra Smooth On The Go Razor
This adorable mini razor comes with its very own carrying case to easily toss it in your bag. The five blades ensure a close shave for up to 30 days of use, and the head pivots to help prevent nicks on tough areas, like around your ankles. Since the blade can be replaced with any Venus blade refill, you can reuse it for every trip.
Mark & Graham Leather Luggage Tag and Passport Case Set
Having a tag on your luggage is essential for avoiding lost bag mishaps, and this one comes with a matching case to protect your passport. Plus, they’re made of high-quality leather that will hold up to wear and tear and rough bag handling. You can choose from nine colors, including camel, Kelly green, black, and blush, and there’s even an option to personalize them with a monogram for an additional $13.
Cadence Starter Set
Traveling with toiletries will be so much easier thanks to this mini container set. They’re TSA-compliant and leakproof, so you can pack all your go-to daily products in your carry-on. The capsules are magnetic to keep them all in one place, and they come pre-labeled to avoid mix-ups. There’s a container for shampoo, conditioner, and moisturizer, and there are three miscellaneous containers to hold anything else you need, such as lotion, medicine, or hair products.
Iniu Portable Charger
You don’t want to be stuck in an airport or an unfamiliar city with a phone on 2 percent battery, so grab this portable charger to keep your electronics fully charged. The tiny device is about the size of a credit card and will take up almost no space in your bag. It has one USB-C and two USB-A ports to charge iPhones, Samsung phones, AirPods, iPads, smart watches, and more, and it comes with a USB-C cable.
