The Smileshe Jewelry Box ($11) features compartments for all types of jewelry. Open it up to reveal necklace hooks, an elastic pocket, an ear-stud panel, ring slots, and more. The box is secured with a button closure to make sure none of your pieces escape.

Traveling has never been easier than with this Travel Duffel Bag ($30, originally $34). The bag is airplane friendly and features a water-resistant design and plenty of pockets to hold all of your belongings (and find them easily). It even has a sleeve on its back to secure to your suitcase.

We all know full-size bottles on a plane don't fly, so instead of buying travel-size bottles that get thrown away, it's good to consider the Silicone Travel Bottles Set ($16, originally $17). The set features bottles, spray bottles, jars, spoons, and more that are all TSA approved. Simply fill them up and pack them away for your next trip — you won't regret it.

Keep shoes away from the rest of your belongings with these Shoe Bags For Travel ($26). The three-pack of bags are all mesh, waterproof, and sturdy enough to hold sneakers, heels, boots, and more. Their translucent design makes it easy to find the shoe you're looking for, and they can easily be unzipped for quick access.

The Zoppen Multi-Purpose RFID Blocking Travel Passport Wallet Tri-fold Document Organizer Holder ($12, originally $17) is something that will keep all your travel documents and essentials in one place. It can hold credit cards, IDs, passports, boarding passes, phones, cash, and even your COVID-19 vaccination card. It comes in a variety of colors as well.

These Reusable Rubber Twist Ties ($5) will keep cords from becoming ridiculously tangled (as they always seem to get) during your travels. They're reusable, so you can take a few with you and utilize them again and again. The ties' neon colors make them easy to find in your bag.

Gone are the days of airplane pillows being dropped and forgotten in the airport terminal. With an Inflatable Travel Hoodie Pillow ($30), your path to sleeping on the plane is secure. The pillow's hood can be pulled over your eyes for sound sleep and has two drawstrings to adjust to your head. Inflate it and deflate it for ultimate packability.

Compression Socks ($16-$27) are clinically proven to help blood circulation in the legs and thighs, making them perfect for long flights and drives. The eight pairs of socks are comfortable, machine washable, and available in an assortment of colors. They even have arch support and a reinforced heel.

Want to pass time on a long flight by watching a movie with your significant other? Share the same device with up to five sets of earphones with this Belkin Rockstar 5-Jack Multi-Headphone Audio Splitter ($11). The splitter is lightweight, making it easy to take with you on the go. The device also allows you to control mixing and fade-ins so that you and your friends can mix multiple songs.

If you're traveling internationally, don't forget this Dandelion Travel Adapter Outlet ($20). The adapter works in over 150 countries around the world and is the perfect size to travel with (and even comes with a case). It has a space fuse in case it gets overwhelmed to ensure you always have power.

These Skullcandy Hesh 3 Bluetooth Wireless Over-Ear Headphones ($78, originally $100) feature soft cushioned pads that are comfortable for hours of wear and help cancel out unwanted sounds. The headphones only require 10 minutes of charge for four hours of battery life, so you can refuel them quickly.

Read your favorite book on the plane with this Energizer Clip-On Book Light ($14, originally $40). The light has a flexible neck that allows you to adjust it how you want. It runs for 25 hours off one charge, making it great for long trips.

These Portable Travel Slippers ($14) are a great travel accessory for plane rides and hotel rooms. The slippers have waterproof soles that are excellent for indoor and occasional outdoor use. Plus, they come with a storage bag that makes them easy to take with you anywhere.

These Reusable Cotton Pads ($13) are a great sustainable alternative to carrying around face wipes. The vegan cotton pads work well at removing makeup and nail polish and can apply toner like a breeze. Plus, they're washable, so you can reuse them time and time again. The pads are a great choice for both the environment and your bank account.

There's nothing worse than losing charge on your phone or tablet while on the go, and this ZMI PowerPack Battery Pack ($16, originally $40) is a total lifesaver. The battery pack charges phones, tablets, watches, earphones, or any other USB-capable device. Its small and slim profile will easily fit into your pocket.

Instead of having several overflowing cosmetic bags, this Bagsmart Toiletry Bag ($23, originally $29) will help keep everything organized and in one place. It has a section for makeup brushes, toiletries, skin-care products, and more. It even has an easy-access front pocket to hold miscellaneous items like hand sanitizer or hair ties.

If you always come back with more stuff than you left with, get this Topnaca Naturehike Backpack ($20). Pack it on your trip and then fill it up with all your purchases on the way home. Its waterproof design will keep items inside dry despite spills or rain. Plus, the backpack can even be folded up into a small pouch when it's not in use, making it ideal for travel.
