25 Genius TikTok Travel Essentials For 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 TikTok travel essentials too. Why? So travelers always know the whereabouts of their luggage, even on multi-flight travel days.

My Gen Z sister recently brought this TikTok 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.

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.

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.

Likewise, 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.

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.

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.

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.

At a competitive price, the viral Feilaro carry-on luggage helps keep you hands-free in every airport, which comes in handy particularly when using airport restrooms and boarding flights.

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.

Next, the Cincha travel belt is a perfect alternative to bags that have trolley passes for suitcases. If you have a purse or other personal item that you would like to attach to your suitcase for easy hands-free travel, this TikTok-approved buckle is for you.

Similarly, 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.

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.

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.

The Nefeeko collapsible water bottle has blown up on travel TikTok 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.

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.

I purchased these HINNASWA refillable perfume bottles last year, 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?

Airplanes and hotel bathrooms rarely have good lighting. That’s why this viral lay-flat LED foldable travel mirror is a TikTok 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.

As someone with sensitive skin, mixing my clean makeup brushes in with my questionably clean toiletry bag was 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.

One TikTok 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 on TikTok, and I finally got to test it for myself when my sister brought it with her on our girls trip. It worked better than any hotel iron I’ve tried.

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