25 Wayfair Products To Upgrade Your Kitchen
A box of four peel-and-stick gel backsplash subway tiles because these not only instantly transform your space but they also do it with less time and money on your part. Promising reviews: "This was very easy to use! It looks like real ceramic tile. All you need is a ruler, good scissors, and perhaps a measuring tape. I really like it!" —Patricia"This was a great addition to my kitchen. Super easy to install and to cut to fit the space. Very easy to clean and I always get compliments." —VictoriaPrice: $11.09+ per sq. ft. (available in 13 colors) A decorative ceramic bowl to show off all your bounty on the kitchen counter, hold plants on open shelving, or display little ornaments as a centerpiece on your dining table. In this case, you *can* put all your apples in one basket — er, bowl. Promising reviews: "The scalloping makes it look handmade. Tiny speckles give it an organic feel. Substantial size so make sure to measure." —Liz"Love the look of this bowl on my dining room table. It's heavy duty and can hold pretty much anything. I saw this at another merchant's at a higher price." —YvettePrice: $115 (originally $140; available in two sizes) A rolling island that offers extra storage and counter space in a farmhouse-style package. With a drop-leaf design and a built-in spice rack and towel rung, this can be a versatile piece for hosting, cooking, and eating. Or put it up against the wall as a coffee bar since it's equipped with outlets and USB ports. Promising reviews: "This is a great rolling kitchen island — it is beautiful and highly functional. It has MANY pieces and parts, so takes awhile to assemble." —Lynn"I love this kitchen island in the middle of my kitchen. I added two stools from Wayfair, which completed the look. I now have a fantastic breakfast bar in my kitchen. It all came together." —JohnPrice: $229.99+ (originally $299.99; available in two colors) A pair of rattan-back stools with a metal frame, perfect for a midcentury modern interior or coastal vibes. It has a cozy velvet cushion, so no need to drag anyone out of bed for breakfast — they'll rush to grab a seat. Promising review: "Very simple to put together. They look great and are comfy. I like the real rattan. My kids have eaten on them for a week and all minor spills have cleaned up well with spot cleaning." —AnonymousPrice: $219.99+ (originally $400; available in three colors and a linen style) A Matisse-inspired machine-washable rug for those who want everything in their home to reflect their taste. This rug can hide floor imperfections, add a splash of color, give you a nice little place to stand, and show your guests you know ~modern art~. Promising reviews: "This is exactly what I was looking for to refresh my kitchen area. Love the design and has a modern coastal vibe." — Michelle"These mats are non slip and it works great. Not super padded but a slim profile against the floor. The 'pile' feels nice underfoot. The only thing I have noticed is that the crease where they were folded down the middle (for shipping) can still be felt when you stand on it. Otherwise I really like these mats!" —LaraPrice: $29.99+ (available in four colors and as a runner) A Kate Spade New York reversible table runner for hosting (or for that empty table you never actually eat at). While one side has irregular loops, the other has bold polka dots — perfect for brightening up the space *and* giving you a reason to not have another TV dinner. Want to go all in on this vibe? The brand also offers matching napkins in loop and dot, towels in dot, and placemats in loop and dot — none of which are review: "I love the table runner so much and the fact that it is cotton and reversible. Both sides look great, but I prefer the dot side. It adds warmth to the room!" —AliciaPrice: $29+ (originally $45+; available in two sizes and four colors) A carbon steel bar pull for drawers and cabinets that brings your kitchen into the modern age and with enough options to match your current or future interior aesthetic. Promising reviews: "I got these for my kitchen reno and loved them so much. Don't think I'll ever tire of them." —Carrie"These drawer pulls are absolutely perfect! I love them — they're not only beautiful but also add a touch of elegance to my furniture. The quality is excellent, and the price is just right, making them an incredible value. Installation was a breeze, and they've completely transformed the look of my drawers. Highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their decor!" —LisaPrice: $3.99+ (originally $7.55+; available in 15 sizes and 13 finishes) A super cute pantry that I would — if I had room — use for overflow snacks, goodies, and appliances. The shelves are designed to be adjustable while the tempered glass doors elevate this from basic to beautiful. One reviewer even ordered two of them for an extra long setup. Promising reviews: "Perfectly handles heavy items. It is not bulky and very clean and crisp. Perfect for small kitchens or kitchens with weird enclosure areas. Would have preferred a little more height but honestly is still really great. Very sturdy. I have cast iron equipment as well as the microwave and shows no signs of weakness in foundation. Recommend it." —Tashawn D"This pantry is being used as a coffee and tea bar and it's just perfect for our space. The kitchen in our new house has less cabinets and this provided me with a way to beautifully display teas from my friend's tea shop while combining the functionality of more cabinets and counter space for our teapot and coffee maker." —BrownawellPrice: $196.99+ (originally $399.99+; available in three colors) A commercial-style stainless-steel faucet for those who cook enough (and have a deep enough sink) to make frozen foodies and take-out enthusiasts want to make a meal for once (or at least help with the cleanup). The flexible hose, 360-degree swivel, and two-option sprayer allow you to tackle everyday and stubborn washes. Promising reviews: "Beautiful finish, heavy, and easy to install. Only drawback is that the head doesn't go straight down very far. So far not a huge functional deficit." —Anonymous"Absolutely stunning!!! Would use this product again and again. It enhances my open plan kitchen/living room beautifully. Best wedding anniversary present I could have wished for!" —DeonnePrice: $189.99+ (originally $490; available in six finishes and filter faucet options) A pull-down faucet for those who still want modern fixtures but with a cleaner, contemporary look than the one above. This one also has a dual-function sprayer and a faucet head that swivels 360 degrees. Promising reviews: "Super high end. Looks great with our gold hardware accents. Also a great price." —Tamara"Beautiful faucet in champagne bonze finish. My water pressure improved greatly after installation." —PennyPrice: $149.95+ (originally $395+; available in six finishes) A tulip-shaped Nambé utensil holder *with* wooden tools so you can just upgrade your stovetop tableau with a one-and-done set. It's earthy, it's edgy, it's eye-catching, and most importantly, the jug part swivels. Yes, swivels. Promising review: "This is an AMAZING and useful kitchen tool set. The tulip jug is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and it swivels! Nambé's creative takes on serving ware and other home goods never disappoint!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Nambé!!!" —KarenPrice: $200 A minimal Scandinavian-style table that I actually use as a desk in my office — so if you or your kids tend to work or study where you eat (or vice versa), you'll be happy with the wide, smooth surface and room for up to six seats. Not to mention, assembly is *so* easy. Promising review: "Really impressed with the quality here. It has heavy solid wood legs and looks amazing in person. Probably the best bargain I have found on this website, as it looks like it should have cost a lot more than it did. I got the table in the 'natural' colour and it is a bit lighter than pictured (which is what I was looking for, so I am happy)." —AnonymousPrice: $279.99+ (originally $435; available in two sizes and two colors) A wooden bench for your kitchen table, so you and your guests can feel like you're sitting down for a picnic or a countryside dinner. It can provide slightly more seating than a regular ol' chair. Promising reviews: "This bench looks heavy but is super lightweight. The cool thing is that it's still sturdy enough to hold people. We use it with our dining room table and it works well." —Erika"Just got the bench this week and I love it. It added just the touch of a little something different to my dining area. Easy to assemble. Sturdy. And beautiful in person. So far I am very impressed with my purchase." —DeshonPrice: $268.21+ (originally $506+; available in two sizes) A Joss & Main reactive glaze ceramic dining set simple enough for everyday dining and elegant enough for showing off your hosting prowess. Or leave it out like a product display — they're so gorg, surely no one would judge. The set includes four dinner plates, four salad plates, and four cereal reviews: "The color is true to the pictures, and this is a perfect dinner set! Very sturdy, delivery was a bit rough (they threw it over my fence even though it was labeled fragile) and none of the plates broke. They've also held up in the microwave and dishwasher. Very happy so far." —Paula"These dishes are of good weight and a very nice design. I didn't need dishes but haven't bought any in 15 years. Wanted something fresh and current with a laid back country style. These fit the bill very nicely. I love them." —AnonymousPrice: $83+ (originally $89.99+; available in four colors) A framed print for that daily morning pep talk: get through the day, and return to your newly refreshed kitchen for a well-deserved 'tini. Cheers to that! Price: $129.99+ (originally $149.99+; available in six sizes and four frame colors) An art deco–style rolling bar cart that would make even Jay Gatsby jealous. There are two shelves, a wine rack, and a glass holder — so you can scooch the cart from its usual resting place to the center of the party and supply everyone with fruit, ice, and bubbly in one spot. Promising reviews: "I love this bar cart. The color is a lovely gold, it's sturdy, has a lot of room, and doesn't take up too much space." —Anonymous"Obsessed! Just finished putting it together. It took about 45 minutes to an hour. The wheel locks work perfectly and everything arrived in perfect condition. Super satisfied and can't wait to start decorating it!" —AnonymousPrice: $75.99+ (available in three colors) A chic pendant light for that romantic glow you're always hunting for — in this house, we *do* turn *this* big light on. Dimmable and length adjustable, place this above your island or dining area to set the mood every evening. Promising review: "We bought three of them for over the island. They look fantastic. Really easy to install, and they provide a lot of light. We bought the navy color and they were a great value!" —Douglas Price: $99+ (originally $358.99; available in nine colors) A set of floating shelves to showcase your beloved collection of vintage glassware or, if you're short on storage, create more space *out of thin air* and reach for your most-used mugs and bowls. Promising review: "Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship!!! Far exceeded expectations for the price. Easy to install and perfect weight!" —EthanPrice: $187.99+ (originally $299.99+; available in 13 sizes and four finishes) A mushroom knob if you prefer these over pulls, or if your cabinetry is better suited for smaller hardware. Unobtrusive, glossy, and easy to install, these are a great way to instantly update your space. Promising reviews: "These knobs are hardy! We've found many different uses for them from bathroom vanities to bedroom dressers & a China hutch. Beautifully made." —Samantha"These pulls totally change the look of the kitchen. They make the very common cabinets look very refined. Very happy with the results." —MaraPrice: $6.42 (originally $7.55; available in two sizes and eight finishes) A set of three candlestick holders to carry around like you're walking down a long corridor in the18th century ~or~ just enjoy a special candlelit meal. Slim and long, they'll be a standout piece on your dining table or your fireplace mantle. But don't forget the actual candles! Grab some taper candles here or some flameless ones here!Promising review: "Beautiful candlesticks. Looks great on my table!" —YulanderPrice: $67 (originally $130.20) A backless stool so you can give your space an Irish pub or rustic industrial allure. Did I mention you can adjust the height? That means even if you upgrade your kitchen *again* ~in the future ;)~ you can keep the stools and just make the seat higher or lower. Promising reviews: "Nice chair, came installed, smoothly adjusts height. Seat is a little slippery for my preference but I can understand why some people don't mind that." —Kristen"The bar stool is stable and the wooden seat is made of good quality. It swivels 360 degrees so you can easily turn around. I also like that there is a footrest. In addition, since it is backless it is perfect if you have limited space or room since you can easily slide it under the table. My little one likes sitting on it and it's light enough she can move it herself. I highly recommend this modern industrial style adjustable bar stool." —GinaPrice: $92.99 (originally $127.89) A pair of striped cafe curtains for a finishing touch on your windows and so you can feel like you are, indeed, sipping your morning brew in a Parisian cafe or rural French cottage. Promising reviews: "These cafe curtains are adorable! I needed something for my half bath that would allow light to come in and the window to be open and still have privacy. These are perfect. Classic and timeless." —Jeanne"These cafe curtains are just what I wanted! They add a touch of farmhouse whimsey to my kitchen! The color is true to the photos." ¸—HeidiPrice: $24.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors) A three-piece dining set because you deserve a spot to eat and have at least one (1) person over, even if your home is intimately cozy. Promising review: "Looks just like the photo, it's beautifully crafted. The wood is of high quality and fits nicely in my small space! Absolutely I would recommend! I paid my handyman to come build it for me." —Christina Price: $325 (originally $594.98; also available in white) An anti-fatigue floral kitchen mat since your feet hurt after standing for long periods of time — but you still want things to look cute. Enter this multicolor medallion mat with almost half an inch of cushion-y thickness, so you can cook and clean without discomfort. Promising review: "Almost 3 years in on daily use of these and they've held up so well and kept their shape." —TinaPrice: $31.99+ (originally $39; available in two sizes) A roll of marble peel-and-stick paper to take your old-school eye sore of a counter to sleek and modern heights. Backing paper with grids guide you to easy cutting and application, too — phew! Promising review: "I love this. It seriously changed the look of my kitchen entirely. I recommend using a blow dryer when going around corners or curves. No one notices it isn't real marble til I point it out." —VictoriaPrice: $3.08+ per sq. ft. (available in three sizes and in beige/gray)

39 Amazon Travel Items Our Readers Are Loving In 2025
A digital luggage scale so you can save yourself the panic of having to take shoes out of your too-heavy suitcase to stuff them in your carry-on.

Even holds a couple of pairs of shoes! The shoes do take room up in main compartment but I have no complaints. Love this pack and would buy again." —Kimi"Honestly, this is a great travel backpack. There are so many compartments to fit as a carry-on. The charging port does work on the side. I can even carry my 40 ounce Stanley on the other side.

Very easy to use." —Bee $15.98 for an eight-pack A stow-n-go hanging travel shelf if your least fave part of traveling is the packing, unpacking, and repacking. (And then, again, unpacking when you get home. Ugh.) Save yourself the trouble by only packing ONCE and then hanging this up the moment you get to your destination. Promising review: "I'll never pack my clothes any other way. I was able to fit two of these in my suitcase. One for me and one for my kids. I love that I can hang it up and everything is organized. I'm no longer digging through the suitcase on trips." —JackiePrice: $26.95+ (available in two sizes and six colors) Some folding clothes hangers the size of your palm when they're closed, but unfold to reveal a child-size or full adult-size hanger when they're open! Set yourself up for no-wrinkle travel outfit success by giving yourself the ability to hang your clothes ANYWHERE, no matter what. Promising review: "Surprisingly strong and versatile.

Promising review: "You NEED this. You can fit two drinks, cards/receipts, and then food in the middle or anything else. It's SUPER functional. Easy to clean if there is a mess, but there won't be. So easy to use and put together. Drinks fit snug in the holders. It's so perfect. GREAT bang for your buck. If you travel a lot, this is your airport friend. Trust me." —GeonitackaPrice: $9.99+ (available in five styles and 18 colors/patterns) A zipper pull clip to help keep suitcases, backpacks, and anything with a zipper closure safe from bursting open on the street... or worse. Keep your bag closed from anyone who might try to snoop around on the sly, including your bestie who *knows* you keep the good gum in that one inside pocket. Promising review: "Work very well for travel in notorious pickpocket areas. Clip your purse zipper to the strap & deter thieves. Also great for clipping your checked-bag zips together so they don't open in transit.

I've had these pill cases for years now for travel and everyday use. They can fit quite a lot and have saved me on several occasions when I found myself needing meds when I wasn't at home. Cute and durable. Would def buy again if one of mine ever broke or something." —Claire RichardsPrice: $6.97 for a three-pack (available in two sets of colors) A TSA-approved travel container set that will let you take *all* your fave skincare, haircare, and beauty products along without having to go out and buy special travel-sized versions if you're not feeling that. Promising review: "These are lifesavers when traveling. I have used these twice when vacationing, one for 12 days, the other 8 days. I was able to bring my hair conditioner, facial toners, cleansers, moisturizers, everything I use on a daily basis with me. Nothing leaked, they are good quality and easily pass thru TSA with no problems. They come with labels, too." —TroyPrice: $9.99+ (available in five colors and two styles) A pack of LeakLock toiletry skin which is basically a stretchy seal that will ensure your clothes *don't* arrive covered in busted-bottle shampoo. Promising review: "When I travel I have no worries that my liquid item will spill out. They are perfect!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $11.99 for a 4-pack (available in a bundle option and also in pink) A collapsible water bottle so you can stay hydrated on your journey *and* not sacrifice a whole pocket of your new backpack to carrying around a full-size empty bottle. Promising review: "This collapsing bottle is perfect for travel! I have used it flying as it fits nicely in the seat back pocket. I have it collapsed as I go through security to ensure I don't accidentally try to carry in water. Then I fill it in the airport to drink there and on the plane. I collapse it when I am done with it to save space on what I have to carry. Also it's great when I walk my dog. I use the loop to hook it to my shorts or the treat bag. A drink for me and a way to fill the portable dog water bowl. Great quality and no leaks!" —Steve DowningPrice: $9.99+ (available in three sizes, three styles, and 14 colors) A pack of reusable bottle protector bags so you can bring home all manner of delicious beverages without having to worry about them busting in this handy padded bag. But if the unthinkable *does* happen, fear not: These are totally absorbent, too, so you will only have to wipe your tears, not the alcohol itself. Promising review: "Last few trips, I have found bourbon or wine but was not comfortable putting it in my travel luggage and TSA will not allow it in a carry-on. This product eliminated that concern and worked perfectly. I am definitely keeping 1 of these in a pocket of each piece of luggage I carry from now on." —B. CreagerPrice: $13.99+ for a 3-pack (available in four colors/patterns) Some antibacterial hand soap paper sheets perfect for on-the-go hygiene.

Promising review: "I got this to take camping with us for the small size and ease of use. It lathers well, smells great, and it doesn't have an over drying effect on our hands." —Becky BennettPrice: $11.99 for three 100-sheet packs (available in smaller pack options and in three scents, as well as unscented) A few Tide sink packets so you can do laundry even if you're not staying somewhere with a washer and dryer. Pack less, clean more, and thank the ~tides~ of fate that you live at the same time as these handy sink packs! Promising reviews: "Worked great for my trip to Europe. Left my clothes smelling fresh and clean even after a sink washing." —Tricia M. Buell"I bought these for some of my longer trips when laundry services may not be available. They are the perfect size for travel. Easy to pack, and they will definitely not leak during the flight because they did a great job with the packaging. They clean well like you would expect from this brand. They are very easy to use, just tear off at the perforation." —Hoosier ForeverPrice: $6.13 for a three-pack (also available in smaller and bigger pack sizes) A travel-sized Downy wrinkle-releasing spray more magical than a genie in a bottle because this is an iron in a bottle, and who *doesn't* want to skip the whole hullabaloo of taking out the hotel room ironing board, heating up the iron, trying not to singe your fave top... you get the drift. Promising review: "Perfect size for travel, and for a carry on! Who doesn't love wrinkle release. It sprays great, removes wrinkles, makes clothes smell and feel amazingly soft!

Made with a triple emollient blend and micelle to help really clean out those pores, you'll be SO happy to have these when it's time to clean your face at the end of the night. Promising reviews: "I was worried they were mini wipes since the packages were so small, but they are full sized! Perfect and as expected. Less likely to dry out compared to the big packs." —Kira"I adore these Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes! They are so handy for travel or quick makeup removal on the go. The individual packaging is perfect for tossing in my bag. They effortlessly remove waterproof makeup without drying out my skin. Highly recommend for anyone who loves convenience and effectiveness! 🌟💕👌" —Jordan WardPrice: $6.88 for a 20-count pack (also available in a multi-pack option) A mini Gillette Venus travel razor (with a case!) that will give you the ability to shave on the go without having to contend with your regular long-handled monstrosity elbowing out your mascara from the packing list. I *just* took this on a trip to Norway, and let me tell you, I LOVE IT. The handle is small and the case is lovely, but not *so* small that I felt like a giant using a Polly Pocket razor when I shaved. I might actually just... keep using this handle at home? It fits in my shower organizer much better. Promising review: "This is the perfect razor for on-the-go travel! I packed this for my cruise and I love how it comes in a small plastic case." —JennPrice: $9.99 A Sol de Janeiro Jet Set pack because whether it's full of old faves or *new* faves you can explore while out on your travel adventures, you're going to be SO happy to have packed this bum cream, body wash, and perfume mist combo in your bag. Promising review: "This set is a fantastic way to try Sol de Janeiro's most-loved products. The Bum Bum Cream is rich and hydrating without feeling greasy, and the scent — sweet, warm, and beachy — is absolutely addictive. The shower gel lathers well and leaves skin soft, and the body mist is a great light fragrance for daily wear. All three items are TSA-approved sizes, so they're ideal for a getaway or to keep in your gym bag. Great value and a fun introduction to the brand!" —Ione BrasilPrice: $32 (available in four scents/variations) A 4-in-1 travel makeup brush because traveling doesn't mean you can't serve elite makeup looks. Have the tools of your trade handy *without* taking up half of your cosmetic case. Promising review: "This brush is fabulous! It has multi-sized brushes making it convenient for traveling. The blush brushes make applying powders super easy, and the price is good! A must have!" —Diana CPrice: $15.99+ (available in eight colors and two styles) Or this magical multitasking makeup brush to make your glam session all the easier to manage, no matter where you find yourself in your travels Promising review: "As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to get my hands on one! This brush has completely changed the game for me! I always preferred a sponge since having to carry several brushes just wasn't appealing to me. I also like carrying very few things in my tiny make up bag so I was really stuck on just using my make up sponge for pretty much everything. When I got this brush, I automatically threw out my sponge and this is literally all I carry in my bag besides my make up now! This brush has all your essentials in just one amazing product! No need to be carrying all these separate brushes anymore or even a separate sponge since it has its own!!!" —Alana HernandezPrice: $25 (available in two styles and a refill pack) A travel brush and hair tie set with on-brush storage for the hair ties so you never have to go tearing through your bag to get your hair out of your face AGAIN. TSA might wreak havoc on your organization system, but at least they won't condemn you to scouring convenience stores at your destination for ONE SINGLE HAIR TIE. Promising review: "Bought this brush to replace my old travel brush. Love the storage compartment! Didn't realize that it actually CAME with hair ties, clips, and bobby-pins (didn't notice these in the description). Such an amazing surprise. And the brush is great! De-tangles and smoothes wonderfully. Even tamed my static-y hair. Love it!" —Crazy cat mamaPrice: $17.96 (also available in white) A 2-in-1 straightener and curling iron for ensuring you have perfectly coiffed hair without having to lug around five different gadgets. Just one! (And it's not much longer than a smart phone, so less packing space, to boot!) Promising review: "This curler/straightener does the job!! I traveled to Europe last year for 5 weeks, and had a wedding to attend to, and this thing was the best purchase I made prior to my trip. I have really thick hair and even though this is shorter than normal curlers, it is mighty. I used this to curl my hair and my boyfriend's mom's hair before the wedding and it worked so well. It's extremely easy to pack, and I love the case that it comes in because you can put it in there while it's still hot if you're in a rush to pack up, and not be worried since it has heat protection. Seriously if you are a traveler and a person that likes to do their hair or you have an event, this is a must-have for traveling light." —Alana FPrice: $49.99 A polarized car visor extender because squinting for long periods hurts and is also just not the safest activity while driving long hours. Tell Mr. Sun to get outta here with this easy, peasy no-tools clip-on extender. Promising reviews: "Bought this for the passenger side to help with sun glare. Perfect for the job!" —Allyn Harris"You must get this!!! I drive for a living. This product helps significantly reduce the glaring sun." —bobby smithPrice: $29.99 A Trtl neck pillow if you want the ultimate minimalist travel pillow that supports your neck like a super gadget scarf. I've used one of these for years and, honest to goodness, have had some really RAD plane naps. Plus, they're not too bulky to throw in your personal item bag on the plane! Also great for car trips if you can't lean your seat back because of carseats or because your backseats are stuffed to the gills with review: "This thing is the greatest thing invented since chicken and biscuits. It's like a nice scarf with just enough support to keep your neck just in the right position. I highly recommend it. Works great with big headphones, too." —Deana HeroPrice: $64.99 (available in six colors) Or a bendable memory foam pillow to give yourself the flexibility to lean against the window, bunch it up on the tray table, or just to have some extra lumbar support on those long haul plane, train, and automobile rides. Promising reviews: "This travel pillow is a must-have for any traveler! It is incredibly comfy, providing excellent neck support, which makes it perfect for long flights or car rides. The flexibility of the pillow is a standout feature; it adjusts easily to your preferred position, ensuring maximum comfort. Additionally, it is very handy and easy to fold, making it a breeze to pack and take along on any journey." —Kris Nicole De Guzman"I used this pillow for a 13-hour road trip to Florida. My neck hurts often so I wanted to be comfortable. I used it to rest my neck a bit and it worked wonderfully. I like that it's flexible so you can shape it how you want. The shaping would probably be easier if it was a tad longer but it still does the job. Bought one for my girls as well." —Rose OatleyPrice: $24.99+ (available in four sizes, including a cord-adjustable option, five colors, and two-pack options) An eye mask and travel pillow combo that straps to your plane or car seat headrest so you don't accidentally jerk yourself awake with every slumping head movement. Promising review: "My search for a comfortable travel pillow is finally over. This brilliant design blocks out all light and keeps my head comfortably supported. No more head flopping forward, waking me up just as I nod off. No more stiff, sore neck pain when I wake up. Sleeping upright in an airline seat will never be as comfortable as lying flat, but this eye-mask/pillow has given me several hours of sleep on every flight I've used it on. Not to mention, it takes up a quarter of the space in my carry-on compared to larger neck pillows." —K. J. FernandezPrice: $19.59 (available in 10 colors) A pair of ultra-comfy reusable Loop earplugs designed to be lightweight, sound-reducing, and still give you the ability to hear what's going on in the case of an emergency. Perfect for both the traveling *and* the destination if you're going somewhere noisy and wish you could turn the volume down a bit IRL. Promising review: "Very easy to use and the quality of the ear plug is great. The storage case is handy to have for travel or keeping in a bedside drawer. They keep out just the right amount of noise to sleep soundly but still wake up should there be a baby crying or emergency." —ChristinePrice: $20.95+ (available in five colors) A pair of acupressure anti-nausea wristband if motion sickness has plagued you down the traveling years and enough is finally enough. These work by applying pressure to your wrist which might just help with car sickness and nausea. Travel is stressful enough without wanting to gag at the thought of getting in a boat or car, so do yourself a favor and throw these in your cart so you can then throw them in your bag! A lightweight travel wrap: It's a scarf, it's a blanket, it's a shawl, it's an in-a-pinch cushion for your tray table. Reviewers LOVE the versatility of this and with 11 colors to choose from, you're sure to find your new perfect travel buddy. Promising reviews: "This shawl is fantastic. The material is very soft. It feels like a very well-loved, well-worn t-shirt. It does not feel satiny or silky. I wore this shawl on a cruise recently and wore it several times. I wore it to an elegant dinner and I wore it on the beach to protect myself from the sun. I also wore it daily on our balcony. No sunburn. I have an illness that is made worse by the sun and I can safely say this item helped. This shawl is very long and it covers your back completely. It helps keep you warm when the AC is too high. I am definitely coming back for the black." —Amazon Shopper"Love love love this scarf!!! Super buttery soft fabric, lightweight, and perfect for those cold days and not so cold days. You can drape it over your shoulders or use it as a blanket! I bought this in the black and the navy and may get another color. Did I say I love this scarf?!?!" —D&LPrice: $46+ (available in 11 colors) An airplane seat back organizer if you're tired of trying to defy the laws of physics by putting your beverage *and* your tablet into the minuscule amount of space the airline provides. Hack your life by giving yourself PLENTY of room for your essentials *and* keeping the tray covered so you don't get the ick as you feast on your airplane snacks. Promising review: "I was hoping this would help hold my stuff and keep me organized on the plane. It exceeded expectations. I had my iPad, my water bottle, my earbuds, phone, etc etc etc. all organized and within reach during the flight. I also liked the fact that the tray table is covered when in use. Also — I was able to just keep everything inside of it, slip it off and put the entire thing in my bag to disembark. I liked it so much I bought one for a gift for a frequent traveler." —Melanie WeekesPrice: $29.99 An AirFly, a wireless transmitter that'll connect your AirPods to in-flight screens so you don't have to give up your comfortable headphone setup for the airline's questionable-quality wired alternatives. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount for on-the-go comfort watches and can't-miss-this streaming moments, no matter where you are on the globe. Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel, too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —EarendilPrice: $13.97+ (available in seven colors and packs of two) A universal travel adapter so you can charge your phone and electronic goodies anywhere in the whole wide world, no matter how funny their plugs look. Promising review: "I've used this in France, UK and in Spain solely for devices that do not need a current converter (iPhone, iPad, Kindle) and it's effective and a space saver since I don't have to bring other plugs. I've had one for 3 yrs and it has held up and I've bought a secondary one." —AliDoJoPrice: $16.99+ (also available in black with a USB-C port) A super-slim portable charger that holds enough power to charge your phone more than once, meaning there's no reason for you to miss that once-in-a-lifetime shot of a pelican soaring over your cruise ship or the equally rare pic of your kids all getting along in the backseat because your phone died. Promising reviews: "This portable charger is not too big, lightweight, charges pretty quick, and a great price point. I purchased this charger to carry around in my purse it's sooo lightweight. I charge my phone, bluetooth speaker, and tablet and it charges fairly quickly. It comes with a travel pouch for storage and protection." —Veronica"Fantastic product. Great battery life. Comes with its own charging cord and a carrying case! Love the little paw that you use to indicate the battery's life. It is, however, a limited heavier than I thought it would be, but it wasn't a burden to carry at all. Made traveling in Europe stress free." —JennMBPrice: $15.99 A Master Lock portable safe so no matter if there is a lockbox in your hotel room or not, you can ensure your stuff is secure, no matter what! Lots of reviewers use this to protect their valuables at the beach, too, so no matter what destination you have on your calendar, this handy gadget is a ~safe~ bet. Promising review: "Easy to use. It came in handy at the beach. Locked it around the beach chair while we were swimming. It kept my valuables safe and dry while we were enjoying the water. Very durable. Good value." —Gozz25Price: $16.96+ (also available in pink) An undercover fanny pack that will help you discreetly carry around your essentials with RFID-blocking technology to ensure your wallet is comfy, cozy, and safe from any ne'er-do-wells who might be trying to ruin your vacay. Promising review: "I love it so much! I feel so safe using it while walking around the city, and it's perfect for keeping my essentials close, like keys or my phone. It helped me so much when I was traveling alone in Spain." —yeidyPrice: $9.99+ (available in two sizes and 23 colors) A portable door lock for a little extra security no matter where you're staying in the big wide world. Reviewers love how easy it is to install (no tools!) and say it helps them sleep better, especially if they're traveling alone. Promising review: "A little bit hard to unlatch but is a really great product. No one should be able to knock your door down when this is engaged. I am a woman living alone and this gives me a lot of peace of mind at night!" —Idamys"A great little gadget for when you travel. An extra protection for your safety especially when you travel alone." —BCPrice: $11.99 (also available in multipack options)
