We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A toiletry bag because have you used that palette, worn that red lipstick, or tried that face mask whilst home? No. But do you need all of it for your five-day vacation? Absolutely.
2. A buckled luggage strap, aka you'll no longer have to schlep neck pillows or wide brim fedoras around while also trying to wheel a carry-on — simple clip it to the latter and voila! Easy traveling is yours.
3. A wallet-sized organizer ideal for storing beauty products *or* other essentials, cc: folded socks and underwear. It's also magnifique for jewelry storage and ensures your necklaces don't become a tangled mess by the time you get to baggage claim.
4. A TSA-approved transparent organizer so that you don't have to fish around your suitcase for liquids (and then stuff them in a clear baggy) while going through airport security. Flying is nerve-wracking enough. Let's not be panicking about whether or not our favorite moisturizer will be unjustly confiscated.
5. A compact contact lens case equipped with a mirror, contact lens case, a mini solution bottle, a tweezer tool for pulling out your contacts from the case, and a contact remover tool — all in a chic little package.
6. Packing cubes capable of helping you fit your entire 👏 friggin' 👏 wardrobe 👏 inside your carry-on. Plus, this keeps everything lookin' niiiiice and neat.
7. A pack of hanging vacuum bags that will smush thicker clothes to a fraction of their original size, aka you'll be able to pack a *ton* of clothes into any meager-sized carryon.
8. BPA-free covers if you've gotten into the habit of flinging your toothbrush into your foundation-covered makeup bag and calling it a day. When you think about it: ew. This tiny gadget keeps grime off the bristles that are intended to disinfect your mouth.
9. An Alleyoop Pen Pal to cut back on excess makeup products that always get lost in your carryon. This is an eyeliner, lip liner, highlighter, AND eyebrow pencil packed into one tool, so consider this an adult upgrade of the multi-color pen you adored scribbling with in middle school.
10. A Béis seatback organizer you can attach directly to the back-seat pocket. This keeps everything (wallet, phone, chapsticks, earbuds) neatly tucked away but within reach at all times. Another very important bonus? Long gone will be the days of forgetting anything on the back of a train chair.
11. A travel drink caddy if wheeling across terminals with your carry-on and (as the airlines dub it) your personal item aka your purse has lead to several an airport Starbucks drink being spilled. This props iced coffee and water bottles upright so you can pull out your boarding pass with ease.
12. Silicone travel bottles because — regardless if you're staying in a 10-person hostel or five-star resort — complimentary shampoo is almost always trash. These bottles come with pre-printed labels that allow you to bring your favorite hair and body products along for the trip.
13. A large travel wallet because there is NOTHING WORSE than losing a connecting boarding pass while on a plane. Is it underneath your seat? In the carry-on you stored in the overhead compartment? DID YOU DROP IT EN ROUTE TO THE PLANE? I don't know, I'm tired — just get this and save yourself the potential headache.
14. A felt purse insert ideal for those tote bags that have the audacity to not have pockets. What am I supposed to do with all my stuff? Drop it into the bag aimlessly? Let it roam freely? What am I, a savage?
15. A duffel bag complete with a bottom compartment to safely store your icky, mud-ridden shoes away from that gorgeous cashmere sweater. Reviewers swear this weekender is shockingly spacious.
16. A travel tray perfect for any accompanying kiddos. This collapsible accessory is equipped with a detachable cup holder, iPad viewing stand for Cocomelon marathons, side storage pockets for toys and other knickknacks, plus a dry erase drawing surface base.
17. A Calpak vanity trunk large enough to store all of the cosmetics you'd need for a long getaway. From tubs of your favorite body lotion to that very necessary full-sized dry shampoo, this will fit absolutely everything in your beauty arsenal with room to spare.
18. Storage bags for your shoes, ones that keep smelly odors away from your fancy clothes *but* have clear windows — that way you can pull the pair you're looking for without having to play the guessing game of "which pair of heels did I shove into this nondescript plastic bag?"
19. A super compact jewelry organizer with enough slots to keep your baubles readily accessible and easy-to-find. PLUS! This will help you NOT lose all your jewelry while on vacation. Because traveling = poor organization = forgetting your favorite earrings in an Airbnb and never seeing them again.
20. A portable stand that transforms your train tray table into a personal movie theatre. Download some movies onto your phone or tablet, prop 'em on this thing, and BAM! Just break out some snacks and the discomfort of traveling will be completely forgotten.
21. A canvas Béis backpack designed with two inner mesh pockets, a zip-around closure, and a back band that can be slipped on over the handles of your rolling suitcase. Also, it's gorgeous. I don't typically believe in magic, but...
22. An anti-theft belt currently moonlighting as a fashion accessory to help hold up your mid-rise jeans when, in fact, it functions as a secret purse. This is actually equipped with a "secret" wallet for storing valuables whilst walking through a new city.
23. A tiny laundry bag to keep your dirty socks and wine-stained tops away from all your clean, fresh clothes. And when not in use, this folds up into a tiny compact bag you can attach onto your carry-on!
24. Cable ties because tangled charging cords and headphones are the second most frustrating thing on the planet. (Forgetting said charging cords and headphones at home is #1.)
