An Alleyoop all-in-one razor — a TSA-approved gadget with a refillable spray bottle, shea butter moisturizing bar, and two triple-blade razor cartridges. The design is genius, but even better, the moisturizing bar won't melt, so if you're traveling somewhere hot, it'll fare just fine.

A pair of machine-washable "flat socks," which create a moisture-wicking barrier between your foot and your shoe's insole so you don't end up with stinky, sweaty dogs.

A Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo Instant Camera that combines the best of both worlds with a digital screen so you can actually see 👀 what you're shooting and then print your favorite pic on demand. It also connects to your phone via app and has a micro SD card so you can save all of your memories.
A genius magnetic luggage tag you can use to hold your sun hat because they are notoriously hard to pack, but what is a beach vacay without one??
