61 Genius Amazon Travel Essentials You Need In 2025

I used to think neck pillows were stocky, uncomfortable and more harmful for my neck than good. However, my husband convinced me to try one again on our eight-hour flight from LAX to Tahiti because I can “never” sleep on flights. He bought me the viral Trtl neck pillow, and I slept better on that flight than I ever have before. I haven’t traveled without it since.

Unlike other sleeping mask materials, satin is best for skin complexion and wrinkle prevention. I have the METWAY silk eye mask and wear it on every long-haul flight. As someone who can’t sleep on flights, this mask is a game-changer.

Not only will these Apple Airpods Max provide you with crisp, clear audio, but Apple’s famous noise-cancelling feature will block out all of the chatty passengers, crying babies and airplane engine noises on every flight, allowing you to relax. Honestly, I wish I would have bought my AirPods Max sooner.

Speaking of Apple, the Apple AirTag has become one of the best Amazon travel essentials. Why? So travelers always know the whereabouts of their luggage, even on multi-flight travel days.

Plus, keep your Apple AirTag secure in style with this Apple AirTag FineWoven key ring. Connect this keychain to your wallet, purse, camera bag or suitcase to get the best use out of your AirTag.

Basically, the the Twelve South AirFly allows you to watch your in-flight entertainment TV with your bluetooth headphones instead of the cheap wired headphones that flight attendants give out. Furthermore, the AirFly Pro version can pair with multiple headphones sets at once, allowing travel buddies to watch TV together.

These Well Traveled packing cubes from Amazon (gifted) not only allow me to pack two weeks worth of outfits in a single carry-on suitcase, but they also kept all of my clothes perfectly organized without the hassle of unpacking every clothing article.

Furthermore, I have these exact Miady portable charger power banks for my husband and I, and I have zero complaints. We bring them on every trip without fail.

Did you know that not all countries use the same shape of outlet? If you travel internationally often, buying separate adaptors per country becomes expensive. That’s why this Unidapt universal outlet adaptor will save you money, stress and even luggage space.

Say goodbye to antsy in-flight legs thanks to these COMRAD knee-high compression socks (gifted). Compression socks promote blood flow throughout the body even when you’re sitting for long periods of time. That’s why I wear these exact compression socks on every long-haul flight.

The ACdream two-in-one wallet and passport holder is thin, secure, easily packable and will undoubtably keep your money, passport, boarding passes and other travel documents organized. It even comes with vaccine card slot, SIM card slots, a pen for filling out in-flight customs forms, and it’s RFID blocking. I have it and love it.

One Amazon travel essential that I will be adding to my repertoire as soon as possible is this Newbealer travel steamer. I’ve always heard great reviews of this steamer, and I finally got to test it for myself when my sister brought it with her on our Norway girls trip. It worked better than any hotel iron I’ve tried.

The LARQ PureVis water bottle uses non-toxic UV light technology to kill bacteria, self-clean and purify water, so you don’t have to worry about filtering your water on the go. The battery lasts an entire month without charging. Additionally, the bottle is made from BPA-free, plastic-free stainless steel, ensuring that your drinks stay cold.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been trying to replace your plastics with non-toxic sustainable alternatives. So, instead of buying cheap plastic cosmetic jars for my travel liquids, I bought these Luo Bei Er glass cosmetic jars. I love that these jars are toxin-free, washable and reusable for every trip.

Likewise, these Mrsdry Travel Bottles make for a healthier version of your typical travel liquids containers. They are BPA-free, which means there will be zero harmful plastic chemicals seeping into your products.

I will never understand how some people pack their toothbrush uncovered. If you’re germ-conscious like me, the Bril UV-C Sanitizing Toothbrush Case is a genius Amazon travel essential you can’t miss. The case uses UV technology to sterilize your toothbrush after every use while simultaneously protecting it from dopp kit dirt.

Or, if you like the idea of capping your toothbrush without the high price tag, these Mspan toothbrush caps are perfect for keeping your toothbrush clean without taking up more suitcase space.

When you’re traveling, you don’t always have access to a sink with soap. It sounds gross, but it’s true. I always make sure to bring travel-size hand sanitizer on every trip. I especially love that these Purell travel sanitizers come with carriers for easy access on my purse or backpack strap.

Also, you’ll want a few travel packs of Clorox Wipes to wipe down the plane seat, tray table and crumby food court table on your next trip.

Despite the practicality of Clorox wipes, they’re extremely harsh on skin. If you prefer wipes to liquid hand sanitizer (which acts as another carry-on liquid space-saver), a couple travel packs of Wet Ones antibacterial hand wipes will be essential.

Lastly, travelers are crazy about Tide To Go pens. With these portable stain remover pens, you never have to worry about unwarranted spills or stains while away from home.

A packing hack for carry-on luggage is to eliminate or substitute your liquid products with non-liquid products. This natural non-liquid VENERATTI lotion bar is perfect, especially for airplane rides. Flying dries out the skin, but a non-liquid lotion stick keeps your hands moisturized without taking up precious liquid space.

Moreover, you can even substitute hair products for travel-friendly solid versions. For example, this Viori Native Essence shampoo bar eliminates the need for liquid shampoo, all while promoting sustainability and organic cosmetics.

Likewise, the Viori Native Essence conditioner bar serves the same purposes as the shampoo bar. Like other Viori products, it’s made from all-natural ingredients, is paraben free, sulfate free, cruelty free, phthalate free, vegan and zero waste. I have had both the Virori shampoo and conditioner bars and used them on a daily basis.

Similarly, get the Babo Botanicals tinted sunscreen stick to save more TSA liquid space. Even if you are checking your luggage, non-liquid products will prevent unwanted spills and keep all of your luggage mess-free. Additionally, because this sunscreen is tinted, you won’t have to pack foundation. I love that Babo Botanicals is EWG certified, which means there are no harmful chemicals or toxins in this product.

Although I love the Neutrogena and Sun Bum sunscreens for convenience, I only them on non-beach trips because they are not reef-safe. Not only is this Babo Botanicals spray sunscreen reef-safe, but it is also non-toxic to humans. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about most brands.

In addition, lavender essential oils are known to reduce anxiety and promote rest. Whether you suffer from travel anxiety or are looking for a natural sleep remedy, this travel-size Silk Road lavender essential oil roller is phenomenal.

Never let a stranger know you’re lost. This is an important rule in female travel. The Apple Watch SE with GPS (or other GPS-enabled smartwatches) send directions straight to your wrist. No more looking down at your phone constantly for directions, looking around for street signs confused, or looking lost.

Travel days call for maximum comfort and maximum cuteness. The Zestt Organic Dreamsoft Travel Scarf offers both, providing a stylish airport accessory and a blanket for every chilly flight. Plus, because you wear this blanket scarf around your neck, it won’t take up any carry-on luggage space like a normal blanket would.

Honestly, I love the Gillette Venus Mini. It is incredibly high quality for its compact size. Plus, it comes with a travel case to keep it clean and protected in your toiletry bag. I first discovered the Gillette Venus Mini last year.

I purchased these HINNASWA refillable perfume bottles last year too, and they are life-changing. First, they are TSA-approved for carry-on luggage. Second, you don’t have to worry about your glass perfume bottle breaking in your luggage. Third, you won’t have to purchase an overpriced travel-size bottle from your favorite perfume brand. Fourth, they are super easy to refill. Fifth, they will hold enough perfume for your entire trip. Did I give you enough reasons yet?

Additionally, if you’re traveling with wide brim hats — and want to keep your brims flat and hands empty — then you need this genius TOPTOTE The Drop hat clip. It enables your hats to safely hang on your purses, beach bags and backpacks without having to wear or hold them.

As someone with sensitive skin, mixing my clean makeup brushes in with my questionably clean toiletry bag is not an option. That’s why I purchased this JDZJUCHU travel makeup brush holder. It’s convenient, easy to wash and keeps my brushes clean. I love it.

For the same reason, I also bought the Intolives beauty blender holder to match. I’m very particular about the products I put on my face, which means I never risk using a dirty, germ-y or moldy beauty blender. This holder works perfectly.

The Milishow LED Compact Mirror is the largest, yet slimmest, compact mirror I have ever owned — amazing quality for the price. The LED light is perfect for touch-ups on the go, no matter if you’re in a poorly lit airplane or a moody cafe.

Speaking of touch-ups, the Jerome Alexander Stackables are the perfect makeup products for every female traveler. Instead of packing bulky cosmetics, the Jerome Alexander Stackables Starter Stack offers a full face of makeup products in compact, suitcase-friendly packaging.

Likewise, if you wear makeup, I highly recommend this SPF facial sunscreen spray so you can reapply your sunscreen throughout the day without caking liquid SPF over your makeup. I’m absolutely obsessed with this Amazon travel essentials product.

Unfortunately, some public restrooms do not provide toilet seat covers. If public toilets freak you out like me, you’ll need these travel packs of Rockland Guard toilet seat covers. I never travel without them.

Truth be told, travelers don’t always have access to clean water, showers or toilets. To avoid feminine infections, I always travel with these natural pH-balanced Rael feminine wipe travel packs.

Alternatively, this Sunany female urination device will allow you to stand up straight and relieve yourself like a man, whether you’re in a public toilet or the great outdoors. Trust me, it works.

No one likes scrunching into a tiny car or airplane seat for hours, let alone, scrunching into a seat while your bra underwire bra pokes you through the fabric. I’m convinced that wearing a cozy, wireless bralette is the best way to travel as a woman. My current favorite bralette is the Calvin Klein Unlined Bralette.

In addition, if you’re naturally heat resistant like me, a portable handheld fan will be your best friend in hot destinations. This TUNISE rechargeable personal fan will provide plenty of cool air to prevent you from overheating. Plus, it still works while plugged into a portable charger. I never travel without this fan.

When triggered, the She’s Birdie personal safety alarm keychain will sound. The alarm acts as a deterrent that is often enough to scare a predator away, and it will let any passerby know to seek help.

Safety is an imperative part of traveling. Whether you’re staying in a hotel room or Airbnb, this SABRE Door Stop Security Alarm will keep you extra safe on every trip.

The highly rated anti-theft travel laptop backpack has numerous characteristics that make it a fantastic travel backpack: an anti-theft back pocket, numerous compartments for easy organization and a USB charging port, for example.

A hanging toiletry bag is an absolute travel must-have because you can hang it anywhere: on a door hook, on a hotel shower curtain rod, in your hotel closet… Anywhere. The VACNASE leather hanging toiletry bag offers all the benefits of a hanging toiletry bag with a classy masculine appearance.

Alternatively, this KOMALC leather dopp kit will keep all your toiletries organized on every trip.

The Seyfocnia convertible duffle bag is no ordinary duffle bag. It’s actually a garment bag that converts into a duffle. It comes with plenty of pockets and extra storage space, shoulder straps, and a luggage handle sleeve for easy carrying.

Furthermore, this Stanley insulated portable travel mug and french press coffee maker will provide you with delicious morning beverages that far exceed cheap hotel-room coffee. My husband received this last year and loves it.

If you’re planning a hiking trip in the near future, you should instead opt for the General Medi mini first ait kit, which includes bandages, gauze, antiseptic towelettes, tweezers and more. I brought this first aid kit on our Arizona hiking trip, and I’m so glad I did.

My Gen Z sister recently brought this Amazon travel must-have Holii travel pill case on our girls trip to Norway, and she was obsessed with it for organizing her supplements, digestive enzymes and pain relievers.

On the contrary, if you’re looking for a luxury cosmetic container, the trendy Cadence magnetic packing capsules are for you. These stunning capsules magnet together to keep your bag organized. They’re also BPA-free. And, they’re dishwasher safe.

Next, you seriously need one of these Perilogics plane seat phone mounts, especially for the long-haul flights that don’t have seat-back entertainment centers. All you have to do is attach it to the tray table in front of you, and your phone becomes your own personal TV.

Airplanes and hotel bathrooms rarely have good lighting. That’s why this viral lay-flat LED foldable travel mirror is an Amazon travel essential. My only complaint is that it is quite a bit larger than similar compact mirrors with LED lights, which is what I personally own.

The SHRRADOO personal item backpack is perfect for long carry-on-only trips when you need as much clothing space as possible. It travels like a backpack, fits under the airplane seat in front of you and packs like a suitcase.

The Nefeeko collapsible water bottle has blown up on social media this year for its primary space-saving feature. It’s easy to pack in your day bag because, when empty, you can collapsible it down to nearly pocket size.

Moreover, this pocket-size Kodak Wireless mobile printer connects to your smartphone via bluetooth, allowing you to print a polaroid-size photo from your phone’s camera roll from anywhere in the world in seconds. I got one for Christmas a couple years ago and love it.

Lastly, this Kids’ Travel Journal offers fun, easy travel journal prompts and activities for kids on the go.

Another Amazon travel essential for the travel-loving kids in your life is this kids passport sticker book, which will inspire them to travel internationally as they grow older.

Additionally, if you will be traveling with kids in the near future, this mess-free All Around Town sticker activity book is the best mess-free alternative to coloring books.

Otherwise, this Crayola Color Wonder coloring book is only compatible with its included magic ink-free markers — another Amazon travel essential for kids that guarantees no mess.
