1. A pack of space-saving compression bags that do not require a vacuum or pump!! Just place your bulky coats and sweaters inside and roll the bag up tightly to release the air and save some major space in your carry-on.

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny."

Promising review: "I travel monthly for work, usually gone for 4–5 days. Before these, I would have to check a bag. Dress shirts and pants, roll up nicely, and stay wrinkle-free. It's tempting to want to over-stuff these, but if you're packing golf shirts or clothes with 'slippery' fabric, they slide out of the top of the bag as you get close to the end. The clips take a minute to get used to, but after a couple of times zipping up the bags, it's pretty easy." —BigSkinny

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.98. 

2. And a Stow-N-Go travel organizer — it'll make you feel like you're taking your closet with you wherever you go. It has three spacious shelves and a bottom zippered compartment that folds down into a super compact cube. Once you arrive at your hotel — just unfold it and hang it up! It's as close as you'll get to traveling with your own personal mini closet.

www.amazon.com

Plus, the zipper compartment at the bottom can be used for putting all your dirty clothes in so they don't get mixed with clean items.

Promising review: "I just love it. I travel a lot. Now, I don’t have to hang anything up but my organizer. I can see what I pack and where everything is. Just love it. I can easily fit seven days' worth of outfits and three pairs of shoes in a carry-on suitcase. Just great." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $26.95+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save 19%; available in two sizes and nine colors).

3. A set of Tide sink packs so you can easily hand-wash your clothes, meaning you can pack less and re-wear more! Simply fill your sink with warm water, add one sink pack, agitate and soak your items in the water, then rinse, dry, and be thankful for all the extra carry-on space.

Tide

Each pack comes with three packets. And, because they *are* liquid, they'll easily slide into the side of your toiletries bag.

Promising review: "Game changer for travel! We were gone for two weeks, and I was able to wash all the clothes I had packed! Helped with using only a carry-on for the trip and kept my clothes fresh and clean! So easy to use and smelled nice! Will never travel without them again!" —Kristy

Get nine packs from Amazon for $6.26 (also available in packs of three and six).

4. A travel-sized Bounce wrinkle release spray, because who has time to iron while traveling?! There's also no telling if that dusty hotel iron is actually going to work. All you have to do is spray, tug the fabric a few times, then smooth the wrinkles away with your hand. It's also perfect for refreshing any clothes you plan to wear a few times during your trip, thanks to the fresh scent.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Hate dragging out the old hotel iron and board, so I just spray my wrinkled clothes with this, and viola! Takes the wrinkles out, and off I go — no wrestling while putting the iron and board away. I even have a small travel iron or use my hair styling irons if I want a better finish, but this usually does the job nicely." —Audie 

Get it from Amazon for $6.05.

5. A lightweight microfiber towel — it folds down into a super compact mesh carrying bag. Best of all, it dries super fast – no more hoping your wet towel doesn't mildew in your duffel!! It also holds 5x its weight in water and is great at absorbing sweat, so this is a must-have for any hiking and camping adventures. Or if you're one of those people who go to the gym on vacay. I do not relate to you, but I respect you.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Perfect. Have used these for hiking and business travel. Can't imagine anyone having a bad thing to say about them." —G. B. 

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 18 colors and six sizes). 

6. A compact but jaw-droppingly spacious underseat roller bag that's small enough to count as a personal item on most airlines. It has a padded laptop compartment and helpful pockets on the outside that are perfect for everything from AirPods to portable chargers, so this is about to become your travel BFF for any work trips. No more fighting for overhead space!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a great carry-on bag! It has numerous pockets and storage areas to keep everything organized. I've taken it on three trips to Europe this year, as well as a few domestic trips, and it fits well under most airline seats (unless the seat has a footrest). In those cases, it's easy to fit it in the overhead compartment. On a couple of occasions when airlines requested that carry-on bags be checked at the gate, this bag was OK for me to carry onboard since it's not too large (yet it holds a lot). In an emergency, I was able to fit 3 days of clothes, sweaters, a jacket, toiletries, shoes, and electronics in this bag because it's so easy to organize it in numerous compartments. It wheels great, too. I've traveled a lot over the years, and this is the best carry-on bag I've found. I bought two of them!" —DM7233

Get it from Amazon for $55.99 (clip the coupon on the product page to save $10; available in nine colors).

7. Or aspacious duffel you can unfold into a full garment bag so you can easily pack long dresses and suits to avoid wrinkles. There's even an extra compartment for shoes, a separate laptop pocket, and other small pockets for various essentials. Everything will be perfectly in its place, and you'll be the sharpest dressed person on vacay!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This garment bag is an exceptional value for the money. Well built, top quality materials, including 'beefy' zippers, should hold up well for airline travel. Minimal wrinkles, if any, in garments, and a cavernous bag for storing shoes and other items for a trip. Added bonus: it fits easily in the plane overhead storage and is similar in size to a standard roller bag. I highly recommend this product." —Kindle Customer

Beauty Goodies is a small business that specializes in chic storage and travel accessories. 

Get it from Amazon for $36.53+ (available in four colors). 

8. Or!!! A travel backpack that opens like a carry-on and has enough space to fit a few days' worth of clothes in its main compartment. You'll also get special compartments for your laptop and a pair of shoes, and the front pocket is lined with waterproof material so you can keep wet items like towels or rain-soaked clothes in a separate spot.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I LOVE this backpack! The color is a perfect light cream, way cuter than other travel backpacks. I spent a week in Spain on my own, and this backpack truly fit everything I needed when I couldn’t bring my suitcase. The padding and support on the back and the straps made it so comfortable to carry, despite how full it was. The way the backpack is structured distributes the weight evenly and does not cause strain at all. The many compartments make it so easy to keep things organized and allow you to fit more things just when you think it’s full. I kept my clothes rolled up in the main compartment, my toiletries in the waterproof front compartment, and laptop and Kindle in the back. The bottom compartment was perfect for all my cables." —Olivia

Get it from Amazon for $20.39+(available in four sizes and 38 styles). 

9. A powdered SPF 30 sunscreen — it won't replace your liquid sunscreen, but it's amazing for touching up during a long day of galavanting in the sun (I am manifesting this for you!!!). It's small enough to easily slip into your pocket or a small bag, and the brush applicator makes it a breeze to swipe on.

Brush On Block

This can be worn on its own or over makeup. It comes in a translucent shade that's meant to work on all skin tones, and a shade called "a touch of tan" that adds a subtle bronze glow to light and medium skin tones.

Note: Powdered sunscreens are best used for touching up, not as a replacement for traditional sunscreen (read more from the Cleveland Clinic). If you're looking for a good sunscreen to add to your routine, check out our roundup of the best tinted sunscreens. 

Promising review: "I was skeptical about the coverage of this product, but I have been using it every single day since it arrived and have yet to get sunburnt even though I spend upwards of 6 hours a day in the sun during the work week. I have also tested it on the weekend in instances where I would normally wear some sort of cream sunscreen on my face, but this seems to work just as well. For folks having concerns about coverage issue, I understand. I have been applying it by going in many circles over my face and seem to be successful with no problems. I have extremely sensitive skin along with a number of allergies and this is the first sunscreen ever that doesn't seem to break my face out at all. This will now be my go-to sunscreen for my face!" —Silver

Brush On Block is a small business specializing in SPF products.

Get it from Amazon for $34+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save 20%; available in two shades, and a new formula with added vitamin C and hyaluronic acid).

10. A reusable gel lint roller that's a major upgrade from the traditional sticky rolls that require approximately 10 sheets just to clean one shirt. Just pop open the cover and roll it over any garments that need a good sprucing up, then give it a quick rinse, and it'll be ready to use again!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I travel frequently for work and keep this in my suitcase. Works great; I no longer carry a lint roller." —Liza Przekop

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four colors and also in packs of two or four). 

11. A 16-piece travel toiletries set so you can bring the perfect portions of all your creams, lotions, shampoos, and other beauty goo you can't imagine being without. You'll get everything you need to decant your faves (including spatulas and a tiny funnel!), and it all comes in a TSA-friendly travel bag.

www.amazon.com

The set comes with four bottles, four jars, two spray bottles, two scoopers (to help transfer creams), one funnel (to help transfer liquids), one cleaning brush, a page of labels, and a bag that everything fits in.  

Promising review: "I’ve purchased a lot of different travel sets for my toiletries over the years. Inevitably, they are hard to fill and tend to leak. This set was magic! The wide mouth made it easy to fill from a larger bottle, and the little scoops made transferring creams to the jar containers very easy and with much less mess. The only con (hardly worth mentioning) is that once you squeeze the bottle, it takes a few minutes to expand with air again, so the sides are a bit sunken. I solved that by unscrewing the top just a bit for a quick release of the vacuum pressure. I had no leaks, and plenty of containers for every toiletry." —MDC

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors). 

12. Or a set of travel bottles with pumps that's extremely perfect for bringing your go-to shampoo and conditioner without wasting unnecessary space. They sit side by side in their own case so that a) they won't get lonely 😢 and b) you won't have to rummage around in your toiletry bag to find them.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "It’s a little hard to fill, but if you have a small funnel already, it makes it a lot easier. They’re super easy to use and really convenient for packing. I use it for the gym, travel, and I also travel for work often, and it comes in handy there." —Kelsey Jacobi 

Get a set of two from Amazon for$6.99 (available in three colors). 

13. A waterproof travel tech organizer so you can keep your charging cables detangled and easy to grab. It even has compartments large enough to store your portable charges, hard drives, AirPods, and the mouse jiggler you use to fool your boss into thinking you're actually working during that work trip.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Excellent for travel! Nice to have a go-to individual pouch, especially for the chords. Husband travels for business, and this is a must, so if he's in an airport or hotel, he can locate them easily, and they don’t get mixed with others." —Brent Webb

Get it from Amazon for $9.85+ (available in three sizes and 23 colors). 

14. A travel-friendly version of the iconic Tangle Teezer that'll hardly take up any room in your already-crowded personal item. Reviewers say it works the same detangling magic as the full-size version (that's thanks to the two-tiered teeth design that detangles and smooths at the same time), and it's so much better than those flimsy travel flip brushes that brush approximately two strands at a time. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I use this brush daily and during trips. I like travel-sized brushes because the teeth tend to be spaced further apart and work better for my curls. This brush is waterproof, so it works great in the shower. Also good for kids with lots of tangles." —DG

"My son has 4c hair and brushes I’ve tried before break his curls and would take forever to detangle his hair! This brush right here cuts the time in half and glides right through!" —Elizabeth

Get it from Amazon for $8.79+ (available in seven shades).

15. A Trtl travel pillow if you need a little extra neck support. This one loops around you like a scarf and has support bands on the side to keep your head upright but still comfy. No more accidentally leaning on the person next to you!!!

Amazon

Promising review: "I love this TRTL!! I first used it on a trip from Seattle to Buenos Aires and will now always use it. It made it possible for me to be comfortable on that long flight. I found it to be the best neck support in how it holds up my neck in a comfortable natural way. I love how I can use it on either side of my neck and even in the front and back of my neck. I love how I can cover my face to just below my eyes if I want privacy. It is cozy, lightweight, durable, and packs easily, or I can wrap it around my carry bag handle for quick transport. I bought one for a friend who took it on a Seattle to New York flight, and she said it was a game changer for her as she was able to sleep for the first time while flying. Now I know that with my TRTL and Bose noise-canceling headphones, I can be cramped in a middle seat on a long flight and survive in relative comfort. Thank you, TRTL!!! I just bought another one for a gift for my daughter. It is a well-designed product!" —Amis Balcomb

Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in five colors).

16. A 2-in-1 hair tool that curls and straightens, so no more flipping a coin to decide if your curling iron or flat iron will win the coveted space in your carry-on. It even comes with a helpful carrying case, so it's basically begging to tag along on all your upcoming wedding season travels.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

This features 100-240AC voltage, so it should work anywhere as long as you have a plug adapter. Also, please note that the travel case is not heat-resistant!

Promising review: "Don't be fooled by the tiny price or size; this little baby is serious. If you are looking for a small travel option rather than lugging your big straightener and giant curling iron around the world, then I think you'll love this. It performs really well, turning my frizzy wavy hair into a smooth and sleek style. The curling iron option also creates shiny, silky, lasting curls! It's easy to transition between both. I also like the grippy handle and the fact that the curling iron clip is a different color than the straightening bars because that helps me see how I should be maneuvering it around. The voltage goes up to 240m, so you are good using it internationally without a converter (but you will need an adapter just to fit it into various foreign outlets). At this price, definitely give it a try and flaunt your tresses abroad." —Christine

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save 20%; available in two colors).

17. A universal travel adapter you can use in over 160 countries — because nothing is more annoying than realizing you forgot to bring the right adapter. You can use it to charge up several devices at a time, so you can have your phone, power bank, laptop, and AirPods charging at once! 

www.amazon.com

But remember that this is not a voltage converter!

Promising review: "I am a digital nomad, so I travel full-time around the world. I have a lot of devices to charge (laptop, Kindle, phone, backup battery, portable Wi-Fi device, camera, the list goes on). A lot of times, hostel bunks or hotel rooms only have one outlet, and with the previous adapter I was using, I had to charge one device at a time. I used to literally set my alarm to wake up in the middle of the night and switch devices so that I could get more than one device fully charged overnight. I did my research finally and settled on this one because it is universal and has four USB ports. What a GAME CHANGER. On my latest trip, I was able to charge all my devices at once, and it made traveling so much smoother. It seems well made and good quality, too. Definitely recommend to my digital nomad and traveling peers. Happy travels! :)" —Maggie A.

Get it from Amazon for $16.29+ (available in two colors and an option with a UBC-C port).

18. A jewelry organizer so you can bring your collection of rings, necklaces, and bracelets without them ending up in a tangled pile at the bottom of your bag. There's even an earring grid and small pouches for hairpins and other random accessories, and it folds up into a super compact pouch for easy portability!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is perfect for traveling. I got the smaller size because it looked like it held a good amount, and it does! I wear a decent amount of jewelry every day and like to have different pieces and it held everything I wanted to pack. It is also very cute and doesn't take up much space at all. Love it." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors and patterns).

19. A simple but oh-so-genius luggage strap — it'll help you carry extra stuff that won't fit in your carry-on. You can use it to attach your purse, backpack, neck pillow, or anything else you just don't feel like carrying around.

Amazon

Promising review: "I love this little gadget. I used it to attach my jacket and computer bag to my luggage on an extended business trip. It made my airport walks so much easier. Now that I'm back home, I've been using it daily to attach my jacket or cardigan to my work bag or purse." —Michele

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in six colors and packs of two).

20. And a travel belt so you can easily clip your personal item to your carry-on — because nothing ruins your vacation vibe like your tote bag constantly falling off your arm. And you know the mad dash to grab your passport at the TSA line while it feels like everyone behind you is staring and waiting? This will make it SO much easier to reach in your bag and feel like an organized,  A+ traveler.

Cincha Travel

The travel belt is adjustable to 38 inches to fit most bags. The belt itself is vegan leather with elastic accents and a quick-release buckle.

Promising review: "Love this! I am constantly struggling between holding my jacket and two carry-ons. This is the perfect solution! I can’t wait to start using it when I’m back to regular business travel." —Allison

21. Merit's The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick that'll replace both your foundation and concealer, so it's about to free up so much space from your liquid toiletry bag. You'll be so glad you have this when you oversleep while on vacay — you can swipe it directly where you need it, and the sheer coverage helps it blend super quickly.

Merit Beauty

Promising review: "I’m a carry-on girl when I travel. I can hardly fit all my skin care in a little clear pouch. I bought this specifically for travel but I’ve been reaching it more than I thought I would. It’s very buildable." —Mrscookie

Get it from Sephora for $38 (available in 30 shades).

22. And Subtl's Beauty Stack — a compact set of cream and powder makeup essentials that neatly stack on top of each other. Your makeup bag is about to have so much extra room for activities!!! The starter set comes with a cream concealer, cream blush (that terracotta shade looks divine 👀), bronzer, highlighter, and a shine-control powder — and reviewers say everything is super pigmented.

Each stack also includes a mirror lid, a base, and a mini brush.

Promising review: "I absolutely love how compact this product is. I have been pleasantly surprised at how natural the makeup feels and I love the natural look it provides. I originally purchased it for traveling, but have been using it daily and love it!" –Paula Bowie

23. A pack of Neutrogena makeup remover towelettes so you can take the exact amount of makeup wipes you need instead of bringing an entire pouch or a bulky jar of cleaning balm. You can also bring one with you to refresh your skin while you're gallivanting about. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Just what I needed. This worked perfectly on a recent business trip. Felt refreshing and left my skin feeling soft." —Glenda E 

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $6.88.

www.amazon.com

Each set comes with a small, medium, large, and extra-large cube, a shoe bag, and a laundry bag. Reviewers also mention using these to organize drawers when they're not traveling.

Promising review: "I have been on the fence about buying packing cubes for two years! I wasn’t sure if they would really make a difference in my packing or not. However, I am so glad I decided to get some! I have looked at many brands, but I am happy I decided on this one! These are made from a great material and are super cute! This is one of the few brands that include both a shoe bag and a dirty linen bag!...I was actually able to close my luggage with ease for the first time. These keep your clothes clean and organized. It makes packing and unpacking a breeze." —Cindy U.

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two colors).

25. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter so you can add Bluetooth capabilities to any device with a headphone jack — even the screens on an airplane! Now, you can watch a movie on your next flight without using those awful wired earbuds that get all tangled up in your tray table.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

The standard edition allows you to connect one pair of headphones and lasts for 20+ hours on a single charge.

Promising review: "Worked beautifully on a recent eight-hour flight from New York City to Frankfurt! Really easy to pair with my Bose noise-canceling earbuds and charges quickly. The sound quality was excellent. I'm so excited about this product that I'm going to buy one for each of my family members!" —emily p murray

Get the standard model from Amazon for $34.99 (available in three colors: also available in a Pro version that allows you to connect two headphones and has longer battery life).

26. A pack of foldable hangers, because those three the hotel provides are simply never enough. They easily fold up so you can keep them in your luggage without taking up much space, then unfold to hold everything from dresses to suit jackets.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "On a trip to Europe, I used these hangers to hang my laundry to dry. I even hung a pair of wet jeans (through the belt loops). I thought the hanger would break, but it held up fine! Hotels never supply enough hangers, so I will be bringing these along when I travel." —debi

Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $9.99. 

27. A solid shampoo bar so you can ditch the bulky plastic bottles and go for a much more environmentally friendly and space-saving option. One bar is equivalent to three bottles of liquid shampoo, so you'll reduce clutter in your luggage and maybe even save some coin. Just rub it directly on your hair and lather away!

Amazon

Promising review: "I was skeptical about a bar shampoo, but wanted something that would last and I could take on my frequent travels... This was the solution I was after and I plan to use it even back home. A little goes a long way and leaves my hair feeling bouncy and refreshed. It also has a nice clean scent that isn't overpowering. Would purchase again." —Jennifer G.

Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 11 options and various packs).

28. And a conditioner bar that lets you swipe some moisture directly on your hair without needing yet another bulky bottle. This is made with rice water protein to help add shine and moisture, so you won't even miss your old liquid conditioner.

Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth (that's her above) has traveled with this in her carry-on and loves it: "Here, I used hotel shampoo (it was pretty fancy, NGL), this shampoo bar, and my roommate's Moroccan Oil curl cream. The bar is basically foolproof. You rub it directly on your wet hair after rinsing out your shampoo. I normally wash my naturally curly hair once or twice a week but on this trip was taking daily dips in the sea, so I washed my hair 5x over a week. Because of this, I let the conditioner sit for a few minutes, though you probably don't need to do that if you're washing your hair your usual amount on your trip. Each bar is supposed to last 200 washes and it might do a little less for me, but I know this'll be good for many future trips!"

Promising review: This is incredible! It leaves my hair feeling soft, hydrated, and healthier with every use. I was skeptical about switching from a traditional liquid conditioner, but this bar exceeded my expectations. It’s compact, eco-friendly, and lasts longer than I expected." —Niki Saigeon

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

29. Or!! I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder for the busy trips when you simply have no time for a full shampoo and conditioner routine. This one has a carry-on-friendly powder-puff applicator so you can apply it directly to roots (you know, the source of all your oily troubles), and it also adds some extra volume as you brush it through. It's so easy to use, you'll wonder how you ever dealt with those messy spray cans to begin with.

30. A sleek pill case with 10 compartments so you can ditch the bulky bottles for something that's way easier to slip in your pocket. You'll also be the hero of your travel group when anybody has a sudden headache.

Amazon

Promising review: "Love love love these!!! I have a lot of medications that I have to travel with and some of them are very expensive or very important and I get so worried I will lose some. These hold so many pills and have labels for each and they are so easy to open and fill but they also stay closed and seal well!" —Britney

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.99.

31. A mini personal care kit so you'll be prepared for sudden annoying headaches, tomato sauce spills on your favorite white top, pesky blisters from walking so dang much, and plenty other emergencies that'll make you shout, "I'm so glad I brought this!!!" You'll feel like Mary Poppins walking around with all these essentials in your bag.

32. An electric travel toothbrush that takes up way less space than the one your dentist is always trying to convince you to buy. You'll still get a nice vibrating effect and a helpful 2-minute timer, but it's about the same size as a normal toothbrush!

Amazon

I'm obsessed with my Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush (and so is my dentist!), but it's just way too bulky to stuff in my already over-stuffed carry-on when I'm traveling. I decided to try this out on a recent trip and was super impressed with how well it works. I love that it has a two-minute timer built in (with reminders to switch quadrants every 30 seconds), and it gives a nice, gentle vibration. For under $20, this is a great alternative to lugging around a bulky rechargeable toothbrush and way better than most flimsy travel toothbrushes.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in seven colors).

33. A digital luggage scale to prevent any overweight luggage fees from appearing in your future. This clips onto your luggage handle — just attach and lift up to see how much your suitcase, backpack, or any other bag weighs. It can weigh items up to 110 pounds, but hopefully, your luggage weighs way less than that.

www.amazon.com

You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements. 

Promising review: "This scale works and was accurate on four flights. The 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

Get it from Amazon for $7.91+ (available in four colors and also available as a two-pack). 

34. An adjustable mini belted pack — it's essentially the fanny pack's more chic and sophisticated cousin, and it's gone viral for rivaling a pricier alternative. It's lightweight and easy to carry, so you can finally ditch your usual tote bag that inevitably turns into a bottomless pit of hotel card keys and loose change. Those will all fit in here — but now you can actually see them!!!

Promising review: "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it’s true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can’t beat it." —Jolie

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly also owns this — she packed it as her only bag for a trip to busy trip to Iceland, and not only did it hold a ton and keep her hands free, but it easily fit around her waist over her outerwear. 

Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in 42 colors).
