15 Amazon Travel Essentials You Shouldn't Visit Europe Without This Summer, Starting at $3
When packing for Europe in the summer, most travelers immediately think of portable fans, travel adapters, and breezy linen clothes. Although these items should definitely have a spot in your suitcase, packing some easily forgotten—but just as necessary—travel essentials will make your trip even more enjoyable. Last August, I visited Milan, and temperatures reached as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit. As it turned out, many of the game-changing items were last-minute, unexpected essentials I packed in my bag, such as a thin summer shawl that provided coverage for visiting religious sites without weighing me down. You might have sudden rainstorms that call for a packable umbrella or drastic temperature changes that'll have you reaching for a lightweight cardigan. Here are 15 travel essentials that help me navigate European summer trips, plus items I'm planning to pack for my next getaway. Picking the right comfortable sandals for a European summer city break is crucial because nothing kills the vibe faster than aching feet halfway through a stroll. After trying to conquer Milan in jelly sandals (a mistake I'll never repeat), a friend suggested this supportive pair from Cushionaire. Other customers agree, saying they've got proper arch support, real cushioning, and enough breathability for hot summer days. Bonus: they actually look cute! Keep in mind that, according to customers, they might run small, so consider ordering up a half size. A cardigan for the summer? It may sound ridiculous, but trust me, this lightweight layer can be a total lifesaver. An early morning flight out of London—even during the summer—means traveling in the cold. And, believe it or not, Europe does have air conditioning, which can be quite an intense shift when moving between the outdoors into coach buses or stores. As someone who is very sensitive to AC, the cardigan I grabbed just before leaving for my flight amidst a heatwave became my most cherished item. Europe's weather is known to flip fast; one minute it's sunny, the next the breeze is too chilly. I was happy to have an optional top layer and will definitely be packing it for future summer trips. An umbrella might just become your best travel buddy when exploring Europe. For example, I live in London, where we have short summers and sudden rain showers, meaning you'll be glad to have an umbrella with you at all times that's compact enough to fit into a small bag. I learned an umbrella can also be useful when it's sunny; I saw people using umbrellas to block the sun's harsh rays when out and about during a trip to Seoul, South Korea. I'm using this hack when exploring Europe this summer, too. You know what comes in surprisingly handy at those charming old European markets? An old-school coin purse or a classic wallet. Although the world has embraced contactless payments, some markets still use cash. Having a coin purse while traveling means you're not fumbling with loose change. Plus, you'll likely need to pay a small fee to use public restrooms in Europe, especially at train stations—so this way, you'll have your coins ready! This Travelambo leather coin purse with its snap top closure has been praised by travelers for keeping money secure and easily accessible, so you can quickly fish out the exact change needed. Crossbody bags are a travel essential, keeping your phone, cash, cards, passport, and SPF right at your fingertips without having to dig through a bulky backpack or tote bag. In busy cities or markets, it also adds a layer of security with a zipper closure. Wear it across your chest and keep an eye on your stuff, which is perfect in places where pickpocketing can, unfortunately, be an issue. This Rungion crossbody bag is very similar to the one I typically bring on my trips to European cities in the summer. 'I just got back from a UK trip. This bag was invaluable to me during the airplane, terminal, shopping, and sightseeing on my trip,' one customer wrote. 'It is so easy to organize and keep everything safe. It is absolutely the BEST thing I bought for my traveling.' This lightweight bag is also washable, so it'll be easy to keep clean and looking like new. Bear with me here—if your hotel offers a continental breakfast, it's not a bad idea to take a few pieces of fruit or some cookies with you for a quick snack later in the day. A collapsible Tupperware container is perfect for this; it keeps things from getting squashed in your bag while you're out and about. Just make sure not to pack anything perishable, and stick to items that can handle a few hours without refrigeration, like apples, crackers, or sealed pastries. Collapsible Tupperware like this will take up even less room in your bag when not in use. I've always carried hand sanitizer bottles (even before COVID-19), but when I travel, especially on holiday, I try to limit how many liquids I pack to save space. That's where hand sanitizer wipes come in handy. They're so convenient, and they do more than just sanitize your hands: wipe down surfaces, clean off sticky fingers, or tackle any grime you pick up while exploring. Unlike liquid sanitizer, wipes won't leak in your bag, which means no surprise goo on your stuff. A common European dress code rule that continues to catch tourists off guard during the summertime is the requirement to cover shoulders when visiting religious sites. During a walking tour of Milan last summer, which included the breathtaking Duomo, several women in my group were told they would be unable to enter because their shoulders were exposed. According to the dress code for the Duomo, both men and women must ensure their shoulders and knees are covered, meaning tank tops and shorts or skirts above the knee are not permitted. The only solution at the time for the people on my tour was to buy a paper-like poncho that they would dispose of later on. However, packing a thin summer shawl like this $11 one at Amazon will save you money in the long run since you'll actually use it again. And it's thin enough to tuck into your bag when your tour is over. Perfect for soaking up excess oil and shine without smudging your makeup or leaving any residue behind, blotting sheets are an easy, lightweight essential that'll fit easily in any bag or pocket. Whether you're heading into a museum, grabbing a photo in front of a landmark, or sitting down at a café, a quick blot can have you looking fresh and feeling less sticky in seconds. With so many European cities basking in strong sun and very little shade, a cap helps protect your scalp and face from the sun. Unlike a wide-brimmed hat, it's compact, easy to throw in your bag, and doesn't take up much space when you're not wearing it. It's also a great option if you're sensitive to air conditioning, like on trains, planes, or in overly cooled museums, since it gives your head a bit of cover without making you overheat. Sometimes a European city break means sticking to a small budget and finding ways to stretch your budget to see as many cities or enjoy as many excursions as possible. This could mean opting for hostels or budget hotels with thin walls. Whether it's street noise from the late-night nearby party scene, hallway chatter, or your hostel bunkmate rustling around at 2 a.m., a good pair of noise-canceling earplugs can save your sleep and your sanity. Loop earplugs are praised for their effectiveness at blocking out sound and their reusability. They also have adjustable sizes to get the perfect fit, and they come in a convenient travel case. I made the rookie mistake of choosing the cute sandals over the comfortable ones, and my feet paid the painful price. If you're anything like me on holiday, you'll be doing a ton of walking, often on cobbled streets and uneven sidewalks that look beautiful but aren't exactly foot-friendly. It's all part of the charm of exploring historic European cities, but trust me, your feet will feel it, especially if you packed the wrong shoes. These hydrocolloid bandages help speed the healing process along for scrapes, cuts, and blisters, and they take up very little space in your bag. When you need one, you'll be ridiculously glad you brought them, as I will be from now on. Pocket-sized tissues might not seem like a big deal, but they're surprisingly handy on a summer trip through Europe. Between the heat, humidity, and all the walking, you're going to sweat, especially when you're hopping between cities or squeezing onto a packed metro train. I keep tissues in my pocket or bag to blot my face, dab away melting makeup, or just freshen up on the go throughout the day. Toss a pack in your bag and you'll thank yourself later. Disposable cameras have a retro feel, which is why I love packing them for rustic cities. I recently bought this Fujifilm disposable camera because it lets me snap pictures without having to be glued to my phone. In iconic, historic cities with sunlit piazzas and vintage markets, I like that film cameras help capture the character of the city. With disposable cameras, you never know what the picture looks like until it's developed, a process which feels a bit like wandering the streets of an old European town, where every turn can lead to an unexpected little gem. For those of us who like to wear makeup, this tinted moisturizer is lightweight and adds a dewy (but not sweaty-looking) finish to the skin, all while providing sun protection thanks to its SPF 30 formula. The regular-sized bottle is under 3.4 ounces and should be able to fit in your carry-on allowance. My skin easily dries out when traveling, and I wanted something that doesn't feel cakey or heavy, especially with lots of walking and hopping on and off polluted metro systems and buses. This moisturizer claims to improve the skin's hydration retention, soften the appearance of fine lines, and strengthen the skin barrier, which are all important features when dealing with sweat, the hot sun, and polluted city air that can do even more damage to our skin.

29 Comfortable Summer Shoes If You Hate Blisters
Strappy chunky heels perfect for tearing it up on the dance floor this wedding season. Despite the solid, budget-friendly price, reviewers confirm there's no painful break-in period. "Barefoot" walking sneakers designed to feel like you're wearing nothing at at all... I'm talking: elastic collars, *memory foam-padded* heels, and a wide toe box. It's the foot equivalent of wearing pajamas outside. Soda flatform espadrilles offering an adorably chunky look that just screams beach vacation. In fact, I think they're already looking up flights to Greece as we speak. Foam slides so soft and squishy, you'll feel like you strapped pillows to your feet. Wear 'em around the house, to the spa, at the beach, or for long walks on vacation. Yes, they really can do it all! A pair of New Balance's classic 574s offering such foot-loving comfort, it's no wonder the brand has been a dad fave for so long. Now put these on and get out there to mow the lawn! A pair of ankle rain boots because I can't be the only one annoyed by clunky knee-high wellies hitting me in the shins. These sleek Chelsea boots are more comfortable and subtle enough that you can even wear them on sunny days without getting any weird looks. A pair of crossed-ankle-strap flats for anyone looking for a touch of ballerina chicness but without any of the toe-crunching agony that normally comes with the line of work. A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals that are not only supremely comfortable but also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks. The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet are still treated to the best. Or if you're looking for an alternative to Birkenstock Bostons, a pair of clogs doing a great impression for a fraction of the price — soft suede, arch support, cork footbeds, and all. Water-resistant slip-on sneakers from Dr. Scholl's (that's right, the shoe insert people) with cushioned insoles that will cradle your foot through hours of walking. They're easy to kick on and off, making them ideal for going on early morning dog walks, making quick trips to the mailbox, and breezing through the TSA line. The famous Plaka sandals — over 19,000 5-star reviewers love these for their comfort and water-resistant braided straps that make them the ultimate beachwear. The beach is a no-blister zone! Adidas Cloudfoam Pure running sneaks that stay true to their name — it really feels like walking on clouds! The memory sockliner molds to your foot so the shoes start cushy and only get comfier with time. Oiled nubuck clogs with tractor soles to keep you from slipping while you attempt to get the perfect angle for a photo of you and the pretty summer flowers you match. Rothy's slip-on sneakers that are a favorite amongst parents, long-walk-takers, and pet owners. These are machine washable, so you can just throw them in the laundry bin whenever they're looking a lil' dingy. And pointed-toe flats similar to classic Rothy's with stretchy knit uppers that'll have you tap dancing with glee when you try them on. When your dancing shoes start to get dusty, just toss 'em in the wash. Ergonomic FitFlops that have been engineered to be the flip-flops to top all flip-flops. The air-foam soles are shaped to perfectly cradle your feet, meaning you can flip *and* flop for hours, pain-free. A pair of over-the-knee boots for when you know your night out is gonna involve a lot of walking but still want to serve. The stretchy thigh-highs will make any outfit club ready, and the chunky heels will let you actually dance when you get there. Crocs wedges that are decidedly less aesthetically offensive than the clog version but just as comfortable. Reviewers swear by them for any event that requires a lot of walking or standing. Crisscross slingbacks for anyone who loves flats but is sick and tired of ballerina flats. These buttery leather sandals were handmade in Argentina and only get softer with time. Sanuk flip-flops with cushioning that mimics yoga mat material, meaning your sweaty feet are going to be in good hands. Oh, and they last FOR-EVERRR. Lightweight and breathable sock-style sneakers for people who long to wear slippers outside. These knit kicks hug your feet and stretch as you walk. The flexible grooves add extra grip so you can scamper up rocks or skip down cobblestones without falling on your face (hopefully). Ultra-lightweight Cole Haan sneakers with a simple silhouette that makes it an easy choice to grab and go every single morning. There's no break-in period, so you can take these leather-topped cuties for a stroll right out of the box. Dansko Britney clogs, a longtime favorite amongst all foot-havers thanks to their incredible arch support, durability, adjustable straps, and general art-teacher-chic style. Sorel Kinetic Impact lace sneakers with a lightweight, breathable design boasting a dual-section sole for some much-needed cushioning. The cute scalloped sole is just the cherry on top. Or a Sorel strappy sandal in a variety of fun and eye-popping colorways. Take a look at the below in all their candy-colored glory. Like the sneaker version, the scalloped soles are lightweight but offer increased ground contact for support. Fisherman-inspired sandals with crisscross straps that keep your feet securely in place so you're good to go if you need to run to the ice cream truck. The cushioned faux-cork footbed is just the comfortable cherry on top! Allbirds tree runners that are honestly a fan-favorite of the BuzzFeed Shopping team. Anyone who has worn them has claimed that there isn't a single sneaker in existence that can beat them in sheer comfort. A pair of chunky Fila platform sneakers offering effortless style *and* a little lift. The thick rubber soles and extra padding will keep your tootsies safe even if someone accidentally steps on your foot on a crowded sidewalk. Soludos lace-up espadrilles that are somehow super comfortable despite the 4-inch lift. Reviewers swear that these things are more lightweight and comfortable than normal high-heels thanks to the sturdy, jute-wrapped wedge. BONUS: Dr. Frederick's Original Better Blister Bandages if you've been wearing shoes not featured on this list and suffered the consequences. The cushioned, water-resistant hydrocolloid bandages speed up the healing process while protecting blisters from further damage. The tapered edges mean you can wear them for a few days in a row without worrying about your new shoes rubbing them off.

Get Up To 50% Off During The Target Hello Summer Sale
Summer called: it wants you to know that Target's Hello Summer Sale has begun, which means you can celebrate the arrival of the season with up to 50% off outdoor essentials, stunning styles, home goods, and more! Check out a few of the savings you can snag all week: A family-sized pool for 30% off for help keeping young kiddos entertained while they're out on break or if you just want a cool-down space for yourself. Just put your drink in the cup holder, lounge on the seat, and imagine you're in the tropics. Price: $31.50 (originally $45) A bubble blower for 30% off to add some summer whimsy to your outdoor fun. Whether you have bubble-obsessed kids or want to make your adult gathering so much cuter, a bubble machine is always a good choice. I have this bubble machine and it's a great little product for the price. It goes through a lot of bubbles — so stock up — but also saves me from getting lightheaded as my kids yell for more bubbles. And, TBH, bubbles floating around brings out my own inner child. Promising review: "If this ever brakes I'm buying the same one again. My toddler loves this bubble machine!!" —PaulinaPrice: $7 (originally $10; also available in a strawberry version) A clear crossbody for 25% off for all of the concerts, festivals, and fairs you're planning on attending this summer. Just stash your essentials and happily walk into clear-bag-only events without figuring out how to carry a phone, chapstick, sunscreen, a frozen lemonade, and ice cream with only two hands. Price: $26.25 (originally $35; available in six colors) A pair of fan-favorite Cushionaire sandals for 40% off that many reviewers compare to Birkenstock. Might as well add a few colors to your cart now or you'll be kicking yourself once you fall in love with them, but the sale is over. I own two pairs of these sandals and basically live in them in summer. I get knee pain in super flat sandals, but I can walk in these four hours with no pain!Promising review: "I love Birkenstocks but even the soft sole Birks are too hard for me. These are soft and have good support!" —BadgerPrice: $29.99+ (originally $49.99; available in sizes 6–11 and in seven colors) A lounge pool float for 50% off for ultimate relaxation all summer long. And with a cupholder to keep your drink? I see no reason to leave the pool for the foreseeable future. Promising review: "I bought this for a trip out of town and I was heavily pregnant and needed something comfortable. This float was exactly what I needed, it's great quality and it comes with a cup holder. I do recommend getting a blow up machine to blow it up as well but it quickly deflated after we were done with it." —EmilyPrice: $5 (originally $10) A hydro corn hole board for 50% off to make pool time fun and a little competitive. I am completely down for any and all pool games — whatever keeps my kids occupied longer. This is only one inflatable board, so it's not a corn hole set. That being said, two in a pool seems like it would be difficult to keep from floating away anyway 🤷♀️. Price: $10 (originally $20) A low-profile outdoor side table for 30% off to keep your bevvy of choice so close that you never have to put down your summer read of choice. All you need now is a whimsical straw and you have your ultimate summer vibe. All you need now is a lounge chair. This one is well-reviewed if you're looking to treat yourself (currently 40% off!), or try this one if you're ballin' on a budget (currently 30% off!). Promising review: "I purchased two of these for my outdoor patio. I didn't have space for larger side tables. They are so cute! They can fit in a lot of small places with the right angle of the table top. Great price and great little side table." —BarbaraPrice: $21 (originally $30; available in three colors) A pair of solar-powered lanterns for 30% that'll add a little extra character to your outdoor space, no matter how small it is. It's high time you rename your patio to your little ~retreat~. These lanterns are plastic for durability and include ground stakes. Promising review: "I purchased a few of these and hung them on my fence in the back yard. They include a handle in addition to a clip to hang on a smaller object. These look very pretty at night. Nice and bright when they light up." —WalkerPrice: $14 for two lights (originally $20) A welcome mat for 30% off to for making your return home every day just a little more inviting. Honestly, making your threshold just a smidgen cuter does wonders. Price: $10.50 (originally $15) A four-piece patio set for 62% off that's perfect for a little summer morning cup of coffee, hosting a party with friends, or just enjoying some fresh air because it's (almost) summer, summer, summertiiiiiiiime (so obviously time to sit back and unwind). Promising review: "Looks very nice, sturdy and perfect for my Condo patio. Totally happy!" —MariPrice: $299.99 (originally $789.99) A fire pit for 53% off to level up all of your outdoor parties this summer. From adding a little ambiance to roasting up s'mores, you absolutely do not need to know how to light a fire like you're on Survivor to enjoy a fire. Promising review: "Highly recommend! The price couldn't have been any better for this quality material, easy to assemble, consistent performance, and simple aesthetic. Comes with a cover and I like the propane placement so you don't have two pieces like other popular fire pit models. So there's no cording you have to watch for or trip over. Comes with black lava rocks which were easy to clean if needed (we got some marshmallow goop on a small area). Really happy with our purchase. Thank you!" —KmhvPrice: $139.99 (originally $299.99) A spray fan for 30% off that'll keep you cool and misted all summer long. Whether you're keeping yourself cool in unbearable heat or spraying your kids down at whatever sporting event they're in, this simple little comfort-saver is your new best friend. Price: $4.90 (originally $7; available in four colors) A pair of tinted swim goggles for 20% off to give your eyes some sun protection without wondering if your sunglasses are going to slip to the bottom of the pool again. I just discovered these last year and I am still wondering why I didn't get them sooner. I bought these goggles last year when visiting my in-laws in Florida. I have a love/hate relationship with pools because the sun reflecting off of the water is SO. DANG. BRIGHT and I have light-sensitive eyes. On a whim I ran to Target and grabbed these BBs and my life changed for the better. I got to swim around the pool with my kids without straining my eyes from the sun or losing my sunglasses when swimming under the water. My husband also grabbed a pair and loves them, too!Promising review: "The best, non-leaky, goggles. I've been using this brand/model for years." —SashaPrice: $11.99 (originally $14.99; also available in a non-tinted version) A water slide for 30% off for some easy and nostalgic water play. And at seven bucks, what do you have to lose? Promising review: "My kids are so excited to use this! Just a heads up regarding the review below about not having a normal size plug to fill with air: per the directions, it doesn't get filled with air — it's large for you to attach your hose to fill it with water. It also has a separate part to connect your hose for the constant sprinkler effect on the slide. This certainly won't last forever, but none of these truly do. It's great for what you pay for it." —JGPrice: $7 (originally $10) A maxi dress for 40% off that's going to be your go-to for picnics, parties, al fresco dining, and pretty much any event where you want to look put-together with zero effort. Promising review: "I cannot brag on this dress enough. As a mom of two, this dress hides my momma pooch perfectly, all while making me feel confident and beautiful. The color is so bright and vibrant. I love the neckline. Material is well made. I will be buying in another color." —thelifeoflizzPrice: $21 (originally $35; available in women's sizes XS–4X and in three colors) A pair of linen pull-on shorts for 30% off because linen is the unofficial material of a happy summer, and all shorts should be pull-on, TBH. If you're looking to be comfortable and cute, these shorts are it. If you want to put together a matching set, check out this sleeveless linen top, also 30% off!Promising review: "So cute and comfy. Can be casual or dressy. Fabric is soft. Color is very pretty and summery!" —MarePrice: $12.60 (originally $18; available in women's sizes XS–4X and in five patterns) A bodycon dress for 40% off that reviewers love for literally any occasion — from errands, to work, to summer outings. Grab it in any or all of the six patterns and see how easy your summer wardrobe comes together. Promising review: "Love the dress. Super comfy, dress up or down. A great everyday dress to run errands or throw a little sweater on and use for work or to dress up for more character. Highly recommend. I also purchased the cream and red striped. Normally I don't purchase stripes, but this dress is very flattering and made exceptionally well. Great thickness to fabric and stretch." —DEBBIEPrice: $12 (originally $20; available in women's sizes XS–4X and in six colors) A ruffle maxi skirt for 40% off for that easy-breezy look you've been begging for since the doldrums of winter. Not only will you get plenty of ~airflow~, there's material at the top of the skirt to make sure an unexpected breeze doesn't turn into an unexpected embarrassing moment. Promising review: "Fits perfect — no gapping at the wrap around part, no peek-a-boo — has a short extension which is perfect. This is the first clothing item I've purchased from Target in a long time that I actually love! Do more of this!" —LynnJPrice: $16.80 (originally $20; available in women's sizes XS–XXL) A sprinkler for 30% off to give your kids — or adult friends — a water option regardless of your own pool access. And with no swimming skills required, this sprinkler is practically begging you to pull up a chair and enter full parenting-from-a-lawn-chair mode. Promising review: "I have been looking for an inexpensive kids sprinkler attachment and this did the trick. It more sprays directly up than out though but it worked for my 2-year-old just fine." —MichellePrice: $2.10 (originally $3) A snow cone maker for 25% off that'll definitely make your parties the ones to be at. Also, if you're tired of your kiddos asking for ice cream 800 times a day, this can add a little novelty and a little less dairy to their summer adventures. Promising review: "I absolutely love this snow cone machine. It comes with snow cone cups and straws. Also, in case you're worried that you need to buy snow cone flavoring, it already comes with some. It comes with blue raspberry and cherry. It's super easy to work and amazing." —LilyPrice: $29.99 (originally $39.99) A jewelry organizer for 35% off because spring organizing is still fully underway. Keep your favorite jewelry right at your fingertips and looking ~aesthetic~ rather than in a heap on your dresser. Promising review: "Looks gorgeous in person and holds so much jewelry! The only dislike is that there's no specific place for bracelets, but I just used the middle piece to hang them." —maia wPrice: $19.50 (originally $30) An Amazon Fire Stick for 43% off because The Bear is coming back next month, and you need to marathon-watch without interruption. Keep all of your streaming apps in one easily accessible place without needing to drop money on a smart TV. Promising review: "Perfect for my unsmart tv. Makes it smart in no time." —AmandaPrice: $19.99 (originally $34.99) And a sound bar for 23% off to complete your home entertainment nirvana. Summer movie nights finally got a little more theater-quality. Promising review: "Omg. I love this sound bar. This little bar kicks out a mean punch. It's very apartment friendly. Not a lot of bass, although you can adjust it, but it definitely does the job. I'm happy with my purchase." —ChinkChinkPrice: $99.99 (originally $129.99) A self-emptying robot vacuum/mop combo for 40% off for keeping those floors sparkling clean without any effort. If heat and humidity suck all of your energy, you deserve to focus on fun rather than cleaning. Promising review: "I love it. Works great. When the floors are clean, seems like the whole house is cleaner. Works better than I thought for mopping. Vacuumed my rugs so well when I shake them, they are already clean from the vacuum. Saves me time and energy." —BGPrice: $599.99 (originally $999.99) A tabletop s'mores maker for 25% off so you can enjoy the ultimate summer treat regardless of your firepit situation. Because absolutely NO ONE can be unhappy while eating a s'more. It's science. Might as well grab some marshmallows, graham crackers (even gluten free!), and chocolate while you're at it. Promising review: "This little device exceeded my expectations! Received this as a gift and have used it a dozen times! Would definitely buy again." —AndshuaPrice: $29.99 (originally $39.99) You, absolutely ready for summer thanks to Target's Hello Summer Sale: The sale ends May 26th, so don't wait too long to get shopping and saving!
