Packing is always a struggle, from organizational issues to coming to terms with limited space. These items are designed to help you make packing less of a hassle. Spend more time planning your vacation and less time stressing about the contents of your bags. We got you.

1. Gonex Sport Packing Cubes

After hours of perusing through the closet, at the end of your quest for the ideal trip outfits, the new hurdle becomes figuring out how to fit it all in. These compression packing cubes can be the difference between bringing that fifth “maybe” dress option or having to leave it behind. Four different sized cubes can compress everything from bulky sweaters to small intimates, leaving space for little things you want to bring back from your trip. Also available on Amazon.

2. Eagle Creek Laundry Bag

Halfway through any work trip or vacation, it gets tough keeping your dirty laundry from mingling with your clean clothing. This laundry bag solves that issue, and offers more than one option as to how to organize your clothes per your preference. It’s moisture-resistant and made with two compartments that lock in unpleasant odors—meaning you can keep both clean and dirty clothes separately within the same bag. Also available on Amazon.

3. Wandf Toiletry Bag

As far as toiletry bags go, this one has it all. Aside from the main compartment, it boasts two large zipper pockets to better organize your goods, including a mesh section allowing airflow to any wet items you might have. It has pockets for days and plenty of elastic loops to strap down loose bottles. Bonus: There are thirteen colors to choose from on Amazon. Pair it with this convenient travel toothbrush kit from Walmart.

4. Tote&Carry 2-Piece Travel Set

Tote&Carry truly outdid themselves with this stylish travel set. First, it’s cute: the gorgeous emerald green (other colors available) vegan alligator leather with golden zippers and accents? Yes, please. And the company is Black and minority owned? Double win. This set includes a matching small backpack and carry-on duffle containing six compartments and a zipper pocket. It’s extremely affordable, and if you just can’t have one, there are three and four-piece sets available too.

5. Karma Scents Scented Sachets

Stale scents still lingering in your luggage from your last trip? Freshen things up with scented sachets. It might seem like something your nana would do, but after hours of your duffle bag moving from luggage carousel to carousel and stewing in the plane baggage compartment for the duration of your flight, a little potpourri in your packed bag is a welcome pleasantry. Karma Scents have plenty of scents available, including jasmine, rose, sandalwood and more. Also available on Amazon.

6. Hydaway 25 oz. Collapsible Water Bottle

Long stints at your terminal can quickly render you dehydrated and water bottle prices at the airport tend to be unforgiving. At a mere 1.5” diameter, this collapsible water bottle fits anywhere: ; your carry-on, personal item, or even your pocket. On top of holding a whopping 25 ounces of liquid, it’s dishwasher safe and made of non-toxic materials like silicon and BPA-free plastics. Once you get through security, unfold and fill it at the closest water fountain so you can stay hydrated throughout boarding and your flight’s duration. Also available on Amazon.

7. Cove Engraving Custom Luggage Tags

A lot of luggage tends to look nearly identical these days. You can avoid grabbing the wrong bag with custom luggage tags like these from Core Engraving. They’re made of aluminum and sturdier than the plastic alternatives, so you can use them again and again. There are plenty of colors, fonts and sizes to choose from, and you can include your name, address, phone number, and email address, or anything else that might be helpful if your baggage gets misplaced or grabbed by mistake. Also available on Amazon.
