Top 35 Amazon Travel Essentials

Travel accessories can enhance the enjoyment, comfort, and fun of any trip, whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, for a weekend or a few months. This list contains 35 of some of the best travel accessories currently available on Amazon that are, for the most part, affordable and guaranteed to make your trip easier. Some items are must-haves, while others will depend on your personal preferences.

[1]Comfort

1.100% light-blocking eye mask

This mask is super soft, very comfortable to put on, and most importantly, it blocks out 100% of the light from your environment. The best part is its memory foam contour that allows you to sleep without having to worry about waking up with an uncomfortable feeling and gives you enough room for your eyelash not to get crushed.

2.Bcozzy Neck Pillow

The Bcozzy Neck Pillow is the perfect ergonomic design for back sleepers. This pillow is double-padded in the front to support your chin as you lean forward on the plane, and it is thin in the back, so it doesn’t bother you as you lean back. One of its arms can also sit on top of the other, supporting you if you prefer to tilt your head to one side.

3.This Gel Seat Cusion

If you’ve ever been on a long flight, chances are your but started hurting or getting numb a couple of hours in: airplanes seats aren’t exactly comfortable. While most people don’t need this gel seat cushion, if you’re the type of person who gets stiff when sitting for a long time, or if you have any back/but problems, this will be a life savior. It works by taking the pressure off your articulations, and it’s made with 100% quality memory foam that retains its shape. The form of the cushion allows your tailbone to rest into the pillow and sit in a more natural and neutral position. This will give you the sensation of your but cheeks being hugged by a cloud.

Price: 49.95$ || Weight: 680g/1.5pounds || Reviews: 4.5/5 (+81,000 reviews)

4.Device holder

The iFlex is the ideal phone or tablet stand for any type of traveling you're doing. You can attach it to any seat that's in front of you: be it in a plane, a bus, or in the back seat of a car - it can also fit on a treadmill if you're into that. It is coated in silicone, so any device you place on it will not slide off easily in case of turbulence or vibration. Being thin and flexible, it can fit in the majority of bags, regardless of their size.

Price: 11.99$ || Weight: 170g/0.375pounds || Reviews: 4/5 (+890 reviews)

[2]Hygiene

5.Air Freshener Bag

The Moso Natural Air Purifying Bag is not your usual air freshener. It does not emit strong scents to overpower bad odors. Instead, it cleanses the air by absorbing the bacteria and pollutants causing them. These bags only contain non-toxic, chemical-free Moso bamboo charcoal that works like sponges, sucking in impurities. They last up to two years and are very easy to use as you can pop them anywhere from shoes to bags to the laundry basket and are ideal for long and sweaty travels that involve trekking, hiking, or backpacking.

Price: 9.37$ || Weight: 56g/0.125pounds || Reviews: 4.3/5 (+5900 reviews)

6.poo-pourri Toilet Spray

This product masks any bad smell that might emanate from the toilet when you poop. You've read that correctly. Let's just be honest here; no matter how close we are to our family, friends, or significant other, making them use the bathroom when it smells like we've used the bathroom isn't a necessary bonding experience. Poo-Pourri works by creating a film over the water of your toilet (so you need to use it before you sit down), trapping future bad smells, and releasing an essential oil blend as you... erm... splash your business into it. Yes, I've tried it, yes it works.

Price: 11.40$ || Weight: 0.2 to138g/0.007 to 0.306pounds || Reviews: 4.7/5 (+1800 reviews)

7.biodegradable wet wipes

The Surviveware are super practical wipes ideal for freshening up or cleaning yourself. They are efficient at removing any sunscreen, bug spray, or dust off your skin. They retain their moisture for extended periods even when exposed to the air and are biodegradable and flushable. They don't contain alcohol and are fragrance-free, making them suitable for sensitive skin.

Price: 9.99$ || Weight: 226g/0.5pounds || Reviews: 4.7/5 (+6700 reviews)

8. Mini  razor

The Venus Snap is an extremely convenient little razor. It is compact and comes snuggled in a little box so you can stash it away in your purse, suitcase, luggage, or gym bag. Apart from being ideal for travel as it fits in most small toiletry bags, its ergonomic design with a comfortable grip makes it easier for you to shave all body parts, especially the bikini area. The tiny handle makes it straightforward to shave in compact places such as cruise ship toilets.

Price: 8.99$ || Weight: 50g/0.11pounds || Reviews: 4.7/5 (+8600 reviews)

9.Travel Clothesline

The Hawatour portable elastic travel clothesline is a tiny but very efficient device. It has 12 gentle yet sturdy clips to hang your clothes dry and special beads that keep them from sliding side to side. The line stretches up to 10 feet (3 meters) and has hooks on each end to allow you to strap it anywhere you are, whether you're in a cruise ship room or hiking in the forest.

Price: 9.99$ || Weight: 190g/0.418pounds || Reviews: 4.3/5 (+9400 reviews)

10.solid shampoo & conditioner

Hibar (100% safe for colored hair. Vegan. No sulfates, phthalates, silicones, parabens, palm oil, or cruelty) has different sets of shampoos and conditioners tailored to a variety of hair concerns and types. They remove the hassle of traveling with liquid shampoo - which comes in handy if you aren't checking in your luggage - and guarantee that the products you use on your hair as you travel will be tailored to your personal need. The design of the bar is very compact and sits in hand nicely, allowing for a good grip. The shampoo lathers up well, and the conditioner softens up and detangles the hair quickly. I feel like the grip design could be further enhanced, but otherwise, the product is very satisfying, and you will no longer have to deal with the risk of shampoo leaks - plus, they last pretty long.

Price: 25.81$ || Weight: 173g/0.381pounds || Reviews: 4.3/5 (+2000 reviews)

11.dry shampoo

I’ve tried countless dry shampoo (more than 15), and this is the one that works the best with my hair and removes the oil so entirely that I sometimes find myself extending the time between my washes because my hair looks and smells so clean. My hair is thin, so if this works with mine, it will probably work on most hair types. For me, dry shampoo is a necessity when you’re traveling, as you will always find yourself in a situation where your hair is oily, and you need to choose between going out now and exploring or taking the time to shower and dry your hair. I usually spray it on, wait a minute, and then massage it into my scalp. I’ve also tried it in different climates (including very humid ones), and it always works like a charm.

Price: 10$ || Weight: 28g/0.0625pounds || Reviews: 4.3/5 (+1700 reviews)

12.Makeup Mirror with led lights

Many of the hotels, hostels, and Airbnbs I go to don't get much natural sunlight or aren't very well lit. This results in mirrors (if they have any) that aren't the best ones for putting on makeup or grooming yourself. This one is quite handy as it has 56 LED beads on its frame as well as adjustable light options. It illuminates your entire face, allowing you to see all the details of your skin. It's easily packable because it's the size of an iPad and compact yet bulky enough not to break. The best part is that you can recharge it with a USB cable they provide you with the purchase.

Price: 17.44$ || Weight: 250g/0.55pounds || Reviews: 4.3/5 (+1500 reviews)

13.Refillable Perfume Bottle

While travel-size perfume does exist, I personally don't feel like buying one whenever I travel. These portable mini refillable bottles hold up to 5ml of fragrance and can easily be used to fill them up with the scent of your choice. The best part is the nozzle, as it provides a high-quality even spray.

Price: 8.99$ || Weight: 50g/0.11pounds || Reviews: 4.4/5 (+9100 reviews)

[3]Organizers

14. thin fanny pack

I was not a fan of these fanny packs until I traveled with a friend that had one. Let me tell you: these things are extremely handy and have enough space to hold all your essentials (credit cards, cash, passports). The biggest pro of these is wearing them at the airport as this is the place where you will open and close your bag the most number of times during a trip. Having this fanny pack at an accessible distance is very convenient. The best part is that you don't even need to take it off during inspection as it doesn't set off any alarms. It's also waterproof and light enough to not make you sweat or stick to your skin.

Price: 17.97$ || Weight: 68g/0.15pounds || Reviews: 4.7/5 (+6000 reviews)

15.Hanging Jewelry Organizer

This is not a necessity unless you're like me and like to travel with lots of jewelry. Even if you don't fill it up, as long as you have a few pieces, this thing is a life savior. Its clear pockets protect your jewelry and allow you to easily see where each item is located, and a zipper seals each compartment to ensure no slip. There are 80 pockets (40 on each side), so no matter how much jewelry you bring, you will always have room for more. The hanger is included, allowing you to easily place this at eyes-level anywhere you go, and the bag can be rolled, so it's easily packable.

Price: 11.99$ || Weight: 198g/0.437pounds || Reviews: 4.7/5 (+22000 reviews)

16.Garment bag & Packing Organizer

This shirt bag is perfect for packing your suit for a wedding or business trip. It has several net compartments that can fit all the necessary items: a perfectly folded shirt, cufflinks, ties, and jewelry. Its largest section fits up to five dress shirts or blouses, and the reinforced frame of the bag avoids any pressure on the clothes to keep them wrinkle-free.

Price: 59$ || Weight: 380g/0.837pounds || Reviews: 4.5/5 (+30 reviews)

17.Drawstring Makeup bag

This cosmetic bag is the most practical accessory for makeup lovers. It comes with a zipper storage pocket, an elastic brush holder, and a convenient handle so you can carry it anywhere you want. Its simple design allows you to open it completely and have your favorite products exposed without the hassle of frantically looking for them. Once opened, the bag acts as a mat with high ridges that prevent your products from rolling off, and it is easy to clean and dry quickly.

Price: 26.95$ || Weight: 90g/0.2pounds || Reviews: 4.5/5 (+320 reviews)

18.HEROCLIP

This Heroclip hook has two hooks in one. The medium one is sturdy enough to hold up to 27kg in weight, so it can keep most backpacks off the ground. I personally like it because you can use it to clip your bag to your carry-on, but you can use it to hang your bag anywhere, from a chair to a tree branch, keeping it germ-free. The sky is the limit for what you can hook with it, from ropes to water bottles or heavy-duty equipment.

Price: 22.95$ || Weight: 56g/0.125pounds || Reviews: 4.8/5 (+440 reviews)

19.Packable backPack

This Amazon Basics ultra-light packable compact bag is an essential accessory for any trip where you would need a backpack. It's a 25L bag that can fit into a little zippable compartment attached to it. It's pretty handy if you need one but don't have enough room to pack a bulky one in your suitcase. The material is made out of a layered, textured nylon fabric that is water-resistant, relatively well-padded, and comfortable. Note that this is not a heavy-duty pack.

Price: 17.44$ || Weight: 158g/0.35pounds || Reviews: 4.3/5 (+4700 reviews)

  20.travel Bag Bungee

The Travelon Bag Bungee is a cool gadget that allows you to hang another bag or jacket on top of your carry-on. It saves up space and gets rid of the burden of carrying your stuff around the airport. The bungee cord is thick, and the fabric is solid, making this a long-lasting item.

Price: 12.90$ || Weight: 199g/0.44pounds || Reviews: 4.5/5 (+2800 reviews)

21.Vacuum Storage Bags

These inflatable bags are ideal for things that take too much space, like coats and jackets. But you can also use them if you like to pack lots of clothing as they will allow you to make more room for them by compressing them. The zip and valve are of high quality, and you receive a handheld traveling pump when you purchase these bags. If you prefer not to carry the pump, the valve works with any vacuum cleaner your hotel or Airbnb might have on hand. Tip: you can use one of the bags as your designated laundry bag as sucking out the air from it will also make them less smelly.

Price: 22.99$ || Weight: 83g/0.183pounds || Reviews: 4.5/5 (+13000 reviews)

[4]Electronics&Gadgets

22.Charging Station for Multiple Devices

Having one of these devices is very practical if you travel in a big group or have several devices you need to charge. This charging station is compact and clear, with enough space to mount phones or tablets with covers. It comes with six cables and offers up to 80% faster charging. The stand will recognize the devices and deliver the needed voltage, so you don't have to worry about special configurations. This is a life savior for people who hate messy cables or if your accommodation doesn't have enough power sockets.

Weight: 730g/1.61pounds || Average Reviews: 4.3/5 (With a max of +32000 reviews)

23.audible membership

If you like to read, traveling offers the time to do it extensively but limits the number of books you can consume since the more you carry, the heavier your suitcase. Audiobooks are one solution to this problem, and Audible is currently the most extensive audiobook library you can subscribe to. The first month of your membership will be free, and you'll get one credit to buy any book you want, no matter its price. You'll also have access to free books from their 'plus catalog' -think of Audible as a bookstore, and this catalog is a free library. You can download the Audible application on any electronic device (phone, laptop, tablet) and download the book of your choice to listen to it even while offline. I've been using Audible since 2017 and have particularly enjoyed their service while traveling, as I sometimes read up to 15 books per month (which I don't want to carry in my bag).

24.tripod and Bluetooth Wireless Remote Shutter

While I am not a selfie-stick person, many people are. Regardless of your inclination, chances are you do enjoy taking pictures while traveling, and this device will help you, especially if you're a solo traveler. The tripod is sturdy, durable, and can be mounted or wrapped around different surfaces. It also comes with a small Bluetooth remote that you can connect to your phone to take a picture: click on the photo icon, and your phone will snap a photo from distances of up to 30 feet (9 meters).

Price: 17.98$ || Weight: 220g/0.485pounds || Reviews: 4.6/5 (+4700 reviews)

25.worldwide travel adapter

This universal travel adapter is very convenient. It fits into all types of plugs without being loose and has two USB ports on its side, enabling you to charge your devices even if you only have the cable. There's also a small red light on the adapter, which will indicate if there's power or not. The only inconvenience is that it doesn't always hold big chargers (like Macbook chargers) easily, so you'll need to either find an appropriate solution or balance the charger on something. But that's an issue with all adapters since some laptop chargers are ridiculously huge.


Price: 13.99$ || Weight: 90g/0.2pounds || Reviews: 4.6/5 (+4600 reviews)

26.luggage scale

This gadget is a lifesaver for those who are always worried about the weight of their luggage before they travel. It's a tiny digital scale that can save you money on overweight charges from airlines. It's highly accurate with a capacity of up to 110lb/50kg, and you can stow it in your bag as it's very small and made out of a plastic polymer that is known to be resistant to strong impacts and corrosive chemicals. Bonus: the battery it comes with is easy to find anywhere, so you won't have any problem finding a replacement once it runs out.

Price: 8.99$ || Weight: 57g/0.125pounds || Reviews: 4.7/5 (+28200 reviews)

27.kindle

Another solution to the hassle of carrying books around during your travel is a Kindle device. When you purchase a Kindle, you get three months off their subscription service called Kindle Unlimited, where you have unlimited access to around 1.4 million books. After the three months, you'll need to pay 9.99$ per month for the service or pay per book. You can choose to purchase the Fire Kindle, which doubles as a regular tablet since you can pretty much do anything on it, including watching movies or buy the Kindle Paperwhite, which is waterproof but only has reading functions. Alternatively, you could just download the Kindle app and pay for its service, and read from your phone if you're comfortable with reading from a smaller screen. Both Kindle devices are lightweight and easy to carry around. They have great resolution, and their luminosity design makes it so that you can comfortably read, even in a dark room.

Reviews: 4.3/5 (+4700 reviews)

28.power bank

This power bank does the impossible: it can provide up to 8 charges for older devices (circa 2017) and up to 5 charges for newer ones (2021). It can charge up to two devices simultaneously and is known to provide faster charging than any other similarly priced power bank. Its sturdiness makes it very long-lasting as you'll have a hard time breaking this one; however, this is also a con because this makes it a bit heavy.

Price: 59.99$ || Weight: 350g/0.771pounds || Reviews: 4.8/5 (+45200 reviews)

29.defense peper spray

This keychain incidentally doubles as a pepper spray, which can come in handy if you find yourself in an unsafe situation. The spray can reach up to 10 feet (3 meters) in distance, contains up to 25 bursts, and the stream it ejects is designed in a way to minimize the possibility of win blowbacks. There is also a twist to lock mechanism to prevent accidental discharge. You know how the colloquial proverb goes: better be safe than sorry.

Price: 9.99$ || Weight: 907g/0.2pounds || Reviews: 4.7/5 (+11800 reviews)

[5]Health

30.pill organizer

This cute and practical pill holder is compact and can hold all of your pills in seven little round compartments. Each section can hold up to ten large vitamin pills, and the bigger compartment encapsulates the sections, making spill or random openings impossible. The days of the week are carved onto each compartment, making it so that they won't fade away with time, and the material it's made out of is waterproof. While not practical for everyday use, this is an ideal device for those of us who take medication or vitamins while traveling.

Price: 12.99$ || Weight: 191g/0.421pounds || Reviews: 4.3/5 (+2200 reviews)

31.electrolytes

I never thought about needing something like these electrolytes until I traveled to Cuba a few years ago and ended up with diarrhea that lasted for the better of five days. While this is information you could have lived without knowing, the point is that you may, at any point, find yourself in my shoes, especially if you're traveling to parts of the world where medication isn't readily available or doesn't work well. These specific electrolytes packets contain a ratio of potassium, sodium, glucose, Vitamin C, B3, B5, B6, and B12, proven to hydrate you faster and more efficiently than water alone. One packet can provide you with the same hydration as 2-3 bottles of water, which is three times the hydration of more traditional sports drinks like Gatorade. They help with hydration (obviously) and fatigue, as well as brain fog that often accompanies jetlag.

Price: 24.96$ || Weight: 256g/0.56pounds || Reviews: 4.7/5 (+45500 reviews)

32.friction protection

Body Glide is a long-lasting, non-greasy, unscented balm for friction prevention. If you’re traveling with new shoes or going to a place where there is going to be a lot of walking involved, this is the perfect product to prevent thigh and foot chafing and consequent pain and burning. It can hold on to your skin for up to three hours of constant movement and makes your thigh glide smoothly. However, it is not water-resistant, so it’s better to keep the stick with you at all times. The only downfall is that it melts away in the heat, so avoid putting it in a car or having it with you while hiking under the sun.

Price: 5.23$ || Weight: 49.6g/0.109pounds || Reviews: 4.7/5 (+20600 reviews)

33.Face Mask Extender

Although we've probably all gotten used to wearing face masks at this point, wearing them for extended periods on a plane could be uncomfortable on the ears. Extender straps are the solution, and these ones, in particular, are excellent because they don't mess up your hair regardless of its type and length. Its length can be adjusted depending on your preference, and the band is thin enough for you to be able to comfortably sleep while leaning back on your head.

Price: 7.45$ || Weight: 0.63g/0.039pounds || Reviews: 4.3/5 (+130reviews)

[6]Protective Gear

34.face shield

I have traveled once in late 2020 and throughout 2021, and my only personal protective equipment has been a mask and the use of hand gel or wipes. However, I understand the appeal of protective glasses or a face shield since they will make you feel safer. If you personally would like to wear one while traveling, this one is probably the most comfortable you can buy. While the most comfortable face shield is the one with a sponge on the forehead, these particular sponges tend to irritate and redden some people's skin. So I've chosen to recommend this one instead; its glasses extension is comfortable around the ears and also allows you to wear your own glasses. Note that both sides of the shield have a layer that you should peel off before using it.
Price: 9.99$ || Weight: 231g/0.509pounds || Reviews: 4.4/5 (+48700 reviews)

35.sprayable hand sanitizer

You can pretty much use any sanitizer on your trip and don't need to buy this one. I'm including it on this list because the ''psshh-psshh'' it releases is very even and easily spreadable on any surface. This comes in handy if you want to spray an airplane seat, a toilet seat, a doorknob, or anything you're not comfortable touching or laying on.

Price: 23.82$ || Weight: 156g/0.343pounds || Reviews: 4.8/5 (+1350 reviews)
