Twelve south airfly pro.

Twelve South AirFly Pro Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter

Twelve South AirFly Pro Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter

Take 20% off the Twelve South AirFly Pro (in Black) on Twelve South's website with code NBCSELECT through May 27.

NBC Select editorial coordinator Rebecca Rodriguez says the AirFly, which plugs into the in-flight entertainment's audio jack and connects to earbuds via Bluetooth, has become a travel essential. “I can never use my Apple Airpods Max on airplanes because they don’t come with an auxiliary cable. My AirFly seamlessly pairs with my Airpods with the touch of a button, then recognizes them whenever I use it next. I used it on six, three- to four-hour flights before needing to recharge it, so it has great battery life.”

Hydaway Collapsible Water Bottle

Hydaway Collapsible Water Bottle

This collapsible water bottle frees you from lugging around a heavy metal bottle when you're trying to pack light. "This bottle collapses down super flat," says managing editor Leah Ginsberg. "And I was surprised by how easy it is to carry when filled, as well as its stability, because it looks a little awkward." It fits in a car cup holder, says Ginsberg and held up in the dishwasher. "It's especially good for a trip where you have to go through TSA or where you’ll be doing a lot of hiking," she says.

Tile Pro

This Bluetooth tracker is a good alternative to  Apple’s AirTag , especially for anyone who does not use an iPhone. Within 400 feet of the tracker, you can ping it to make noise and use the  Tile app  to help find its precise location. Outside that distance, the Tile Network can help you find your tag. It has a replaceable  coin-shaped battery  inside and is  water and  dust-resistant.

Bagsmart Packing Cubes

Bagsmart 7 Set Packing Cubes for Travel Essentials

Bagsmart 7 Set Packing Cubes for Travel Essentials

Marina Radlinski, home organizing expert and owner of  Palm Beach Organized , recommends this Basgmart seven-piece packing cube set with different-sized cubes. "Think about the space you need for underwear and socks versus the space you need for sweaters," she says. They're made of nylon and mesh, allowing you to see your clothing options inside.

Bombas Compression socks

Bombas Everyday Compression Socks

Bombas Everyday Compression Socks

If you're taking a long flight and want to aid your circulation, the Bombas compression socks are a great pick. "I loved how easy these are to put on, and the material feels amazing, not as tight as some other brands," says senior photo editor, Becca Delman. "As an avid compression sock user, I wore these on a recent flight to Orlando and my legs actually felt great. They didn’t swell and I didn’t feel numb from sitting. After a wash, the material help up, too."

select Whether you’re going away for a week or a weekend, there’s a highly-rated bag on Amazon for you.

How we picked the best amazon travel accessories.

We spoke to travel experts, who have collectively explored more than 200 countries via various transportation modes, and asked them what products are most important to have on hand. When packing, our experts recommend keeping the following in mind:

  • Size and weight . Size matters since most airlines allow only one carry-on and a personal item, says travel coach Sarah Rose De Vore . Our experts recommended choosing products that offer the most value at minimal weight and size.
  • Comfort . Lack of sleep and discomfort can lead to fatigue long after you deboard, says travel wellness expert Edyta Satchell. To combat these issues, she recommends packing things that help block out light and noise or offer support so you can sleep and sit more comfortably.
  • Organization . Easy access to your belongings is essential. Our experts recommend bags and organizers with pockets.
  • Health . “You can’t be ignorant of the negative impact travel has on your health,” says Satchell. For example, limited movement on the plane can cause muscle, circulation and joint problems, not drinking enough water can result in dehydration and lack of sleep can cause fatigue, she adds. Satchell recommends packing items that keep you hydrated, such as sheet masks, serums and pre-filled reusable water bottles. She also suggests packing items for comfort, such as neck pillows and compression socks, as well as quality light-filtering eye masks to get proper rest.

How to shop for the best travel products and pack for your next trip

Satchell recommends swapping large containers for reusable TSA-approved ones if using a carry-on bag. She also suggests carrying ginger gummies in case of nausea. Here are some other important things to remember when shopping for the best travel products, according to our experts.

  • Choose your suitcase wisely. To avoid extra fees and overweight charges from overpacking, choose a bag that actually suits the length of your trip.
  • Create a packing list. If you travel often, make a general list of things you need so you don’t have to recreate it every time, says De Vore. Then you can make a few adjustments tailored to each trip.
  • Make your personal item count. Opting for a good-sized bag, like a backpack, for your personal item is a great way to carry additional essentials like spare clothes, shoes or travel-size toiletries, according to De Vore.
  • Put your valuables in your carry-on. If there is something you wouldn’t want missing or ruined, De Vore says to put it in your carry-on bag. Our experts also recommend taking photos of your suitcase and belongings before checking them into the airline.
  • Make a photocopy of your passport or ID and keep it in your suitcase. If your wallet or purse goes missing, you’ll need to show proof of identity. Be sure to have copies someplace other than where your original documents are stored.

This under-$20 Amazon find has completely upgraded my in-flight entertainment experience. When I fly, I usually watch movies or downloaded videos on my iPhone so I can continue to use my noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones. This means I’m usually rotating between holding my phone in my hand and (unsuccessfully) propping it up on the tray table. This pocket-size phone mount clips onto the top of your seat tray table and perfectly holds your phone in place so you can watch movies, TV shows, or podcast videos hands-free. It features 360-degree rotation, allowing travelers to view their screen vertically or horizontally. The 1.5-inch clamp can be attached to tables, desks, gym equipment, and a variety of other surfaces. While I originally purchased this carry-on essential to use on airplanes, I’ve also attached it to my luggage handle while waiting to board a flight and on a train ride from Lucca to Florence. —Meaghan Kenny, associate commerce editor

If you've been on a group trip, you know the struggle of trying to get ready when there are too few mirrors available compared to the amount of folks in the house or hotel room. Eliminate the hassle with a portable travel mirror, like this fold-out option available on Amazon. It shifts to varying heights, has three light settings (warm, cool, and natural daylight), and folds up flat, weighing less than a pound.

travelling gadgets amazon

Associate commerce editor Meaghan Kenny calls this small wireless device “a complete game-changer—I'm never going back to the days of dry hotel rooms and dehydrated skin post flight.” She's found that sleeping with it, both at home and on the road, leaves her skin less dry and helps her to wake up feeling more refreshed. It's easy to use, too: “For as compact as the humidifier is, it can still fit 11.3 ounces of water—more than enough needed for a continuous cool mist throughout the day or night.”

Sure, many totes , backpacks , and small duffels now come with a trolley sleeve to secure it to a suitcase handle, but when you find yourself using a bag without that little sleeve, keeping your things together and upright becomes a balancing act. A Cincha travel belt is the workaround: It slips over your suitcase handle, then wraps around most any bag like a seatbelt, with adjustable straps to tighten or loosen as needed.

travelling gadgets amazon

There’s nothing worse than getting onto an airplane and your wireless headphones not connecting to the seatback entertainment system. That issue is easily averted with this wireless audio transmitter and adapter . The small device pairs to your headphones via Bluetooth and then plugs into the tiny TV on the airplane so you’re never without entertainment on long-haul flights . I keep this Amazon gadget in my pre-packed go-bag, then charge it the night before I fly so I know it's fully charged before heading to the airport. Even better is that the device can pair with two sets of headphones, so if I'm traveling with someone we can both watch the same movie at the same time.

Portable Stand.

Gimbal stabilizers come in a variety of sizes and price points. If you’re testing the waters with the smartphone travel accessory , you may want to consider this under-$50 option. The anti-shake, one-axis stabilizer allows you to capture smooth videos and crisp photos of your travels without having to think about keeping your hands perfectly still and balanced. One perk of this particular stabilizer is that it doesn’t have a corresponding app that you need to use to make the device work, so you can just pop your phone onto the handle and go. At just 7.5 inches and less than half a pound, the stabilizer can fit easily into your day bag without weighing it down.

Drink Caddy.

We’ve all experienced those long, twisty lines at the airport coffee shop that take longer than expected and leave you rushing off to your gate, juggling an iced coffee and your phone, all while somehow wheeling your carry-on bag behind you. Make that scenario a memory of the past with this luggage cup holder. The hands-free pocket slips over the handle of your luggage to hold up to two drinks and your phone. The adjustable cup holder has a Velcro opening that can be tightened or loosened to fit your suitcase handle and stay securely on your luggage as you traverse the airport. I keep this in my go-to personal item at all times, that way I know where it is before I head to the airport. Even better, if I do somehow spill a drink when using this, the cup holder is completely machine washable; I’ve throw it in with a load of towels to keep it clean.

If you’re headed somewhere warm, be it a theme park or Europe in summer, one of the best travel gadgets to bring along is a mini handheld fan. This VersionTech handheld fan is my absolute favorite of all of the ones I’ve tried. It charges quickly with an included USB charger (you can also use any micro-USB cords you're already packing), and has three speeds to keep air moving and keep you feeling refreshed. The handle of the fan can be folded back to allow it to sit on a table if you stop for a meal or coffee, or find yourself on a hot bus or train. I always have this in my backpack or fanny pack in the summer—when I whip it out and have a cool breeze blowing across my face, my travel buddies are instantly jealous that they don’t have one too.

travelling gadgets amazon

Keeping your phone charged while traveling through airports can be difficult—not every airport has charging ports integrated into the seats at the gates, and most of the time people are huddled around the one or few outlets near the gate. I love this phone charging passport holder because I can charge my phone with an included power bank, and it has an integrated cable holder, and elastic bands to keep my phone in place as I traverse the airport. I also appreciate that the holder has a space for your passport and RFID blocking credit card slots for added protection.

A steamer.

No matter how meticulously you pack your clothes, pieces always end up wrinkled and looking like you slept in them on the other end. That problem is easily solved with this handheld garment steamer . The small electronic device weighs in at just under two pounds, so it won’t add much weight to your luggage. The steamer takes just 35 seconds to heat up, and has a removable water tank that’s easy to fill and an adjustable steam head so you can get wrinkles out no matter how your clothes are hung up. Leave this at home if you’re headed on a cruise, though; these portable steamers are not allowed on any cruise line.

Whether you’re traveling internationally or domestically, having a travel adapter is always a good idea. The universal adapter allows you to plug in your devices to outlets, no matter what country you’re in. There’s also a built-in surge protector and two USB ports so you can charge your phone or watch without having to unplug something bigger like hot hair tools or a laptop.

There’s nothing worse than misplacing something or finding out that your luggage got lost in transit on the way to your hotel or Airbnb. With an Apple AirTag , you can have constant eyes on your belongings, even if they aren’t technically with you. The tiny puck-like devices pair with your iPhone or iPad and use geolocation to let you know where your belongings are. I like that I can check on the location of my luggage, purse, or whatever else I've dropped an AirTag into with the Find My app. This is especially helpful after a plane lands and I want to be sure my luggage made it to my final destination.

Is there anything worse than checking into a hotel room and tossing and turning all night because of loud noises from neighbors or city streets? With this portable white noise sound machine, you can easily drown out the sounds of people, cars, or snoring companions. The machine has three sound options, and multiple volume settings so you can find the option that’s best for you. And because it’s so small at just 3.5 inches in diameter, it can fit in a backpack or carry-on bag with ease.

travelling gadgets amazon

An electric handheld luggage scale is without a doubt one of the best travel gadgets, especially if you’re prone to overpacking and always have a checked bag at the airport like me. The handheld scale uses a strap to attach to the outside handles of your suitcase. Then you simply pull up with both hands using even force for the scale to display how much your luggage weighs. This is my easy way to avoid overweight fees or having to open my luggage on the airport floor to take things out and squish items into my backpack before racing off to my gate.

After flying through the friendly skies and making your way to your perfect vacation destination, your phone is likely showing that annoying red battery indicating that it’s almost out of power. With this wireless portable charger , you never have to get below 10 percent charge again. The charger can support wireless charging or charging with a connecting cable and can support Apple and Android products. iPhone users will be glad to know that with one full charge of the power bank, the device can charge an iPhone 12 at least eight times.

Keeping your personal information safe should be a top priority while traveling. One easy way to do that is with an RFID-blocking wallet, so skimmers in the pockets of nefarious patrons can’t get your credit card info just by walking by you. The wallet has multiple slots for credit cards, plus two zip pockets that are great for coins and paper money. Everything is further protected with a snap that covers both zippers and keeps the wallet closed.

travelling gadgets amazon

Another popular travel wallet option: the Slim Mint ultra-thin RFID-blocking wallet. The compact case can hold cash and whatever essential cards you need on you—credit cards, hotel room keys, metro cards—so that they are easily accessible. When empty, it weighs just 3.2 ounces.

The AirFly allows your AirPods or headphones to be used to watch movies on your plane's in-flight entertainment center. We like the pro version of the AirFly, as it allows up to two people to connect to the same in-flight screen and watch at the same time. No more having to use the corded headphones that are passed out.

Groove Life Groove Belt

Groove Belt

Making sure you look presentable while traveling is a subtle style move that will make you feel good and leave a positive impression on others. Ditch the pajamas and aim for a comfortable casual look. For keeping your pants in place, the Groove Belt is your best friend. It's wildly comfortable and simple to clip on and off, and it stretches enough to provide movement in all ranges of motion.

MATEIN Electronics Travel Organizer

Electronics Travel Organizer

There are a zillion electronic organizers out there, and really you can't go wrong with most of them. Our favorite, however, is this simple water-resistant pouch from MATEIN that has over 5,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. It's got enough space to hold all your charging cords, as well as a space for small e-readers or small tablets. Best of all is the fact it's less than $25.

INIU Portable Small Power Bank USB C in/Output

Portable Small Power Bank USB C in/Output

Portable chargers are a must for every traveler, but traveling with a clunker is no fun. This super-portable power bank packs enough juice for full charge to your phone (10000mAh) and will slip into a small pocket for easy storage.

Pluto POD Travel Pillow

POD Travel Pillow

If you think all travel pillows are the same, think again. The Pluto POD acts almost like a sensory deprivation mask that works to block out sound and light with smart design notes like a slide-down eye mask and a deep hood. This travel pillow is perfect for promoting relaxation in the air and on the road.

LifeStraw Go 650 ml Water Filter Bottle - 22 fl. oz.

Go 650 ml Water Filter Bottle - 22 fl. oz.

The LifeStraw Go is like any other refillable water bottle , except for the fact it's got a near-perfect filter built into, you guessed it, the straw. The LifeStraw can protect against a whopping 99.999999% of bacteria and 99.999% of parasites, making it a safe option for drinking water that comes from sinks and water foundations, and even some outdoor streams and rivers.

Kodak Luma 150 Ultra Mini Pocket Pico Projector

Luma 150 Ultra Mini Pocket Pico Projector

It's better to think of using this mini pocket projector at the hotel to watch your favorite shows or films, but in the rare chance you get stuck in a flight delay the projector can also be useful in helping entertain your kids. Regardless if you're a parent or not, this is an entertainment option that's fun for everyone.

For today's traveler, a packing list includes not only their daily wear and toiletries, but also tech gadgets: a phone, maybe a laptop or tablet, and possibly a smartwatch. You may also be wondering, what other gizmos are worth lugging around? As it turns out, there's a lot to consider. 

Whether you're on a long-haul flight, a never-ending road trip, or just jetting around your destination, there are plenty of travel-appropriate tech gadgets that can make your next trip a breeze. 

From gear to ensure you're charged up to a TSA-approved massage gun to ail the aches of travel, here are our favorite travel tech gadgets and accessories to ensure you're ready for anything that comes your way.

travelling gadgets amazon

For keeping an eye on your valuables, put a Tile Pro or Apple AirTag in your checked baggage. We recommend Tile because it works for both Android and Apple devices, while utilizing the Tile user network to help you locate things that are much further away.

On the flipside: Apple's AirTag offers the same features, but only works with Apple devices. The AirTag connects to the Find My app built into every iPhone and iPad, which theoretically means it taps into a wider network of users to locate your item. Whichever you choose, consider a tracker in your luggage as personal insurance.

Insta360 X3 Camera

travelling gadgets amazon

Sure, the best camera is the phone that's in your pocket, but if there's a reason to bring along an additional shooter, make it the the X3. This 360-degree camera works alongside a companion app on your phone and captures everything surrounding you. No longer will you need to choose what to frame. But what makes this camera truly fun are the special effects you can create, which will make your vacation photos and videos stand out from the crowd.

Sony WH-100XM5 Headphones

travelling gadgets amazon

If you want the latest and greatest in over-ear noise-canceling performance, it's the Sony WH-100XM5s . The XM5s sport an updated design with a narrower headband and wider earcups for a roomier fit. The drivers have been updated and the ANC (active noise cancellation) performance has been kicked up a notch thanks to two processors and eight noise-canceling microphones, up from the four microphones found on the previous-gen XM4s. Speaking of the XM4s, they're still a great option and cost $50 less .

Beats Fit Pro

travelling gadgets amazon

The Beats Fit Pro was released back in 2021, but they continue to be one of our favorite wireless earbuds. It packs the same features you'd get in the AirPod Pros, but in a more secure, sweat-resistant package. This year, Beats introduced three new eye-catching colors: coral pink , volt yellow , and tidal blue . 

Panasonic ErgoFit Wired Earbuds

travelling gadgets amazon

It's a good idea to have a pair of wired earbuds to toss in your bag for a flight, especially since most in-seat entertainment systems have yet to roll out support for Bluetooth. And while there are plenty to choose from, Panasonic's ErgoFit is a tried-and-true budget pair you won't regret. Available in more than 15 colors, these earbuds are as basic as you can get, but they'll get the job done for under $20. Just note that you'll need a Lightning adapter for Apple devices .

Anker 622 Magnetic Battery

travelling gadgets amazon

If you own an iPhone 12 or newer and want to take advantage of MagSafe technology, this portable battery pack from Anker has a capacity of 5,000mAh, which is more juice than Apple's MagSafe battery pack , which is rated at 1,460mAh. The 622 is capable of wirelessly charging your phone at a max of 7.5 watts, but its best feature is the travel-friendly built-in kickstand. If you're looking for more power, Anker also sells a 10,000mAh version . 

For more picks, check out our guide on the best MagSafe battery packs . 

Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe

travelling gadgets amazon

Apple stans will appreciate Mophie's 3-in-1 charger , which has dedicated charging spots for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. We're not sure what we like more: the convenient carrying case or that it comes complete with a 30W USB-C wall adapter.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 12

travelling gadgets amazon

 The Instax Mini 12 is Fujifilm's newest camera, and just like its predecessor, it's a one-button instant camera that's so easy to use that even kids can operate it. The Instax Mini 12 improves on the lineup's winning formula by adding a new lens that you can twist to enable "close-up" mode. The entry-level instant camera works with Instax Mini film , which is widely available. Plus it runs on replaceable AA batteries, so you'll never have to worry about running out of power.

Anker 747 Charger

travelling gadgets amazon

If you're a frequent traveler, you need a multiport charging hub. And Anker's GaNPrime-powered 747 Charger is one of the best you can buy right now . With three USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and 150W charging capacity, this compact charger can charge multiple devices — laptops, tablets, smartphones, or other small devices — quickly and all at once. And thanks to GaNPrime technology, the 747 is  smart enough to identify how many devices are connected and how much output each device needs.

Native Union Belt Cable Universal

travelling gadgets amazon

When it comes to cables, it pays to have a spare just in case you lose one. For that, we recommend this universal cable from Native Union. Measuring at 6.5 feet long and made from braided nylon, the cord can quickly transition between micro-USB, USB-C, and Lightning connectors.

Bellroy Tech Kit

travelling gadgets amazon

A dedicated tech bag can turn the roost of cables, cords, and techy accessories you travel with into a well-organized mobile workstation. While you should shop around to find a tech organizer bag that suits your particular needs, the Tech Kit from Bellroy is a quality option. It features a soft-shell body for added structure and protection, along with loops, pockets, and compartments to neatly store your essentials. It's also available in a compact size .

For more options, check out our guide on the best tech organizer bags . 

Nimble Champ Portable Charger

travelling gadgets amazon

The Champ Charger is one of Nimble's smallest and lightest power banks, but it still packs a punch. It's designed to top up smaller devices, and supports up to 15W of charging through one USB-A port and one USB-C port. The battery's 10,000mAh capacity is enough to charge your phone or tablet for a weekend of use. Bonus: Nimble is a certified B Corp with a commitment to sustainable consumerism currently unmatched in the consumer tech industry, from using non-traditional materials and plastic-free packaging, to its free e-waste recycling program.

DJI Osmo Mobile 6

travelling gadgets amazon

Unfortunately, nobody wants to watch your vacation videos if they're nauseatingly bouncy, no matter how beautiful the scenery is. To capture rock-steady footage with smooth pans and tilts — think Hollywood-style cinematography — put your phone into what is the best gimbal for consumers. It's easy to operate, and the built-in telescoping pole lets you capture selfies with a wider view.

Moft Invisible Laptop Stand

travelling gadgets amazon

When you're on the road, ergonomics is a challenge. Moft's "invisible" laptop stand is an ultra-thin portable stand that won't add any weight to your laptop, and only takes a second to put into action. It has two elevation angles (15 and 25 degrees), which you can adjust to whichever is more convenient for your sitting posture. Moft also sells stands for other devices, including the iPad and iPhone .

Epicka Universal Travel Power Adapter

travelling gadgets amazon

If you're jet-setting across the world, a universal travel adapter is a must. And you won't find one that'll meet most simple charging needs than Epicka's all-in-one adapter. This handy plug is designed for phones, laptops, and other smaller devices. The retractable prongs allow it to work in more than 150 countries, and it has six charging ports: four USB ports, one USB-C port, and one universal AC socket. 

Backbone One Mobile Controller

travelling gadgets amazon

For gaming on the road, we recommend the Nintendo Switch . But if you're looking for an alternative with even better portability, we highly recommend the Backbone One Mobile Controller, which can turn gaming on your iPhone or Android phone into a first-class handheld console experience. The Backbone One gives you joysticks and buttons, so it's comfortable for long playing sessions, and it works with mobile titles as well as cloud-gaming services like Xbox and PlayStation Remote Play.

Yogasleep Rohm Travel Sound Machine

travelling gadgets amazon

With Yogasleep's Rohm Travel Sound Machine , you can rest easily wherever the road takes you. It features three modes: bright white noise, deep white noise, and "gentle surf." And unlike other portable sound machines, it's powered by a rechargeable battery instead of disposable batteries. If you're looking for something more baby-friendly, the Hushh Compact Sound Machine features a soft LED night light and child-safe locks.

GoPro Hero 12 Black Action Camera

travelling gadgets amazon

If you can only pack one camera for travel, make it the new GoPro Hero 12 Black. An evolution of the already impressive Hero 11 Black , it's small enough to fit in the tightest corners of a bag, yet it is on par with much larger cameras, thanks to 12 generations of innovation. This latest version of GoPro's storied Hero camera can shoot high-dynamic-range video for improved contrast and coloring, a wider field-of-view lens to capture more of a scene, and Bluetooth support for headphones. Plus, it has the best in-camera stabilization yet. It's built to withstand bumps, drops, and splashes, and a great smartphone app lets you upload your footage to social media wherever you are.

Kensington Privacy Screens

travelling gadgets amazon

When you think of tech privacy while traveling, you might think of VPNs , which allow you to connect to the internet through a secure server so you can work securely and remotely. But for added security, don't overlook privacy screens. Kensington sells a number of reliable privacy screens  — some attached with magnets, others by an adhesive, depending on your laptop or tablet — that reduces viewing angles and filters blue light .

Etekcity Luggage Scale

travelling gadgets amazon

Overweight baggage fees can cost an arm and a leg and who knows what else, and they're especially tricky when traveling internationally. Etekcity's luggage scale is reliable and accurate, plus it's ultra portable and weighs under five ounces to easily fit in your bag.

TwelveSouth AirFly

travelling gadgets amazon

A tiny dongle that lets you use your wireless headphones for in-flight entertainment? How smart. TwelveSouth's AirFly plugs into the audio jack so you can hear airline TV screens using your own personal headphones. And with more than 20 hours of battery life, it could last even the most long-haul flights. If you've got a travel companion, the AirFly Duo lets you connect two pairs of headphones at once. And for car rides in older vehicles, the AirFly Pro lets you stream from your phone to the stereo's aux-in port.

Logitech K380 Keyboard

travelling gadgets amazon

Logitech's K380 keyboard is an excellent portable set of keys that has a small footprint that will make working even in the most cramped spaces a little more comfortable. It connects to any device that supports Bluetooth and pairs with up to three devices, which is perfect if you're switching between a laptop, tablet, and phone. It's ultra quiet, and can last two years one just two AAA batteries.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3

travelling gadgets amazon

The newest ultra-portable speaker from Ultimate Ears, the Wonderboom 3 is a 360-degree speaker that should fulfill your travel needs. It has battery life of up to 14 hours on a single charge. There's an "Outdoor Boost" mode that cranks up the bass, and it can float if you throw it in water. This is a versatile little speaker that can also pair with another Wonerboom speaker for stereo sound.

Kindle Paperwhite

travelling gadgets amazon

Easily one of the best Kindles you can buy right now , the 11th-generation Kindle Paperwhite includes a larger 6.8-inch, high-resolution display, adjustable warm lighting, responsive page-turning, and USB-C charging. The base Paperwhite comes with 8GB of storage, which should be plenty for most people (that's around 3,000 e-books).

Hypervolt Go 2

travelling gadgets amazon

A must-have for preventing and easing the aches and pains of traveling, the Hypervolt Go 2 weighs just 1.5 pounds and lasts up to 3 hours on a single charge. With three speeds and two interchangeable heads, it can do wonders for a stiff neck, sore muscles, back pain and more. It's also surprisingly quiet. The Go 2 is TSA-approved, as long as it's packed in your carry-on. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a travel case. 

Manfrotto Pixi Mini Tripod

travelling gadgets amazon

Whether it's for timelapses, self-portraits, or video calls, a phone tripod can be surprisingly handy when you're on the go. Manfrotto makes some of the best travel tripods in the world, and its Pixi Mini Tripod folds up small (you can also use this tripod as a grip) and weighs less than a pound. Unlike some tripods, the Pixi Mini can be used with different types of phones thanks to its universal clamp.

Roku Streaming Stick 4K

travelling gadgets amazon

If you're not traveling with a streaming stick, you're missing out on a simple travel hack. You can plug it into your hotel room or Airbnb's TV and stream your favorite movies and shows. Roku's Streaming Stick 4K is well-suited for travel, and will give you great picture quality, whether streaming in HD, 4K, or HDR. Just don't forget to bring the physical Roku remote.

There’s A Reason Why Flight Attendants Love This $20 Outlet Extender For Travel

Shopping Writer for HuffPost

The Belkin outlet extender is surge-protected to keep charged your plugged-in gadgets safely.

HuffPost and its publishing partners may receive a commission from some purchases made via links on this page. Every item is independently curated by the HuffPost Shopping team. Prices and availability are subject to change.

Around gift-giving season last year, we reached out to frequent travelers to learn what the wanderlusters in our lives really wanted as presents — and in the process we learned of this traveling outlet extender that one flight attendant never jet-sets without.

Hunter Lihas is a Tampa-based flight attendant and travel vlogger who previously said that he chooses the Belkin portable power station out of all the other outlet extending options out there because of its unique ability to rotate 360 degrees in-socket.

According to many reviewers , this kind of versatility means that this three-prong port can fit into 3 AC outlets either vertically, horizontally or diagonally, so if power points are already crowded or are in awkward tight spaces, you can still find a way to juice your devices. It’s also helpful if your device’s charging cords and cables don’t reach a socket, then the swiveling ability of the extender may be able to give you a few extra inches, depending on which way you position it.

Some reviewers claim that, at first, rotating the plug might seem harder than expected, but it’s important to press a button under the plug while rotating and to keep the included plastic prong cover, which can help aid in the rotation. Once at the desired angle, it will click and stay securely in place.

The face of the Belkin features three standard power points compatibility with any two- or three-prong plugs, whether it be laptop chargers, hair dryers and more. Then, along the topside of the extender, there are two fast-charging USB ports perfect for quickly powering up cellphones and tablets. (If this still isn’t enough charging potential for your needs, there’s a six-outlet wall-mounted option that doesn’t rotate.)

Another aspect of this single-source outlet that should give peace of mind to both frequent- and non-travelers alike is that it offers reliable surge-protection, so your expensive electronics are safeguarded against things like overloading, short circuits, power spikes, lightning strikes or power fluctuations.

Grab this compact and incredibly useful travel companion before your next trip or if you’ve had enough of that confusing cluster of cords in your home. Of course, it always helps to read the convincing words of fans other than ourselves, which you can feel free to read below.

Promising Amazon reviews:

″A frequent traveler recommended this to me. Although I am a frequent traveler myself, I never considered bringing a power strip on a work or vacation trip. Then I saw this small/compact little miracle and had a “duh” moment. Why didn’t I think of that?! The little strip is about the length of my open hand and the plug in the back (wall plug) can rotate so that if you need the device to be horizontal or vertical, it can be. We recently took a trip to Alaska which was part land tour and part cruise tour. Each night of the land tour was a different hotel room. We just took our little Belkin out and charged all our phones, iPads, cameras, etc.; easy peasy. I loved it so much for traveling, I bought a second one for in our home (permanent spot) for where we have a lamp and soundbar plugged in near the couch but frequently have to unplug one to charge our phone or iPad (or let a guest do the same).” — Filberty-jibet “ This charger is great. I can use one outlet to charge a ton of things. So many times I have been in a hotel or airport where electrical outlets are a hot commodity which makes charging anything a pain. With this charger, not only do you only use up one outlet but you can charge up to 5 devices at once. I have only noticed a little bit slower charge time if you have both USB ports filled but if you use the 3 outlets and one USB port it seems to charge at a normal rate. Another nice feature is being able to swivel the charger thus allowing that perfect fit in a tight spot or getting a few extra inches out of your cord when you need it most. I highly recommend to KEEP THE PLASTIC COVER that fits over the prongs to help aid in the rotation, it gives you something a little more solid to grip when you are rotating it. Its a little tough but I like that, I want it solid and rugged, not something that overtime will start to rotate unexpectedly. Overall a must have for someone that has a need to charge more than one device at one time. Even just using it in hotels to plug in my laptop and phone it comes in very handy because normally just one outlet is available.” — Topperharley “ This unit has changed my travel routine. It is a little large and I could do with the two outlet version if they ever made one, but let me tell you this is so nice to have. Minimizes items you need to carry and allows for great versatility. The two USB ports charge quick and still leaves room for 3 110v outlets (with current limitations of course). The best feature of this is the plug that rotates with a push of a button. No matter of the outlet situation you come to, it can rotate and lock into a new position to allow sturdy and variable access. Can’t ask for more.” — DasGoob “ Perfect and in constant use. It has been on five trips with me over the last few months. When I’m home it becomes a charging station for the family. I’m thinking of buying a second one for upstairs. Best feature: Plug rotates so that it does not block other outlets. I have used it on multiple trips and it has worked with every idiotic hotel plug situation I have run across. I worried this would be a weakness before it arrived but I’ve had no problems at all with it. It is very well made. Trade off: plug doesn’t fold for travel. Between the two options I’ve found the ability to rotate much more important. It fits in my small Ebags packing cube along with all my power cords, power bricks, head phones, and so on. Sturdy, fairly compact, and does everything a mini surge protector with 3-outlets and two USB ports ought to do, charged whatever combination of things we plugged into it overnight, even when overnight meant six hours, iPad mini, iPad 3 and two iPhone 5s were the devices that might have used the USB ports.” — Bb8

If you forgot to charge your headphones ahead of your trip (totally understandable!), you’ll get 3 hours of juice with just 10 minutes of charging time. Plus, they feature Active Noise Cancellation — a necessity when traveling (and also when you’re not, TBH.).

If you’re heading out of town soon and can’t imagine traveling without the ability to listen to music, podcasts, or movies and TV shows, we recommend cashing in on this major deal while you can.

Versatile $35 Amazon dress is 'great for travelling' but 'dressy enough to wear to dinner'

It comes in several summer-ready colourways.

I'm a 47-year-old mom, here are the best summer dresses on Amazon Canada right now

These dresses are great for weddings, beach days and more — starting at just $25..

As a mom of two young boys, I'm lucky if I get 15 minutes to myself each morning. Normally, I leave the house in my sleep sweats and a baggy T-shirt, shuttling the kids to school or one of their numerous extracurriculars. But when the warmer weather rolls around, I like to put a little more effort into what I wear. A flirty sundress or a casual T-shirt smock are easy ways to add style to my busy days.

Summer Boho Split-Thigh Midi Dress

Cupshe v-neck self-tie dress, prettygarden one shoulder ruched bodycon dress, famulily cap sleeve v-neck dress, prettygarden spring midi dress, prettygarden sleeveless midi summer dress, amazon essentials jersey slim-fit tank mini dress, jocafiye v-neck shift dress, misfay summer maxi dress, grecerelle summer dress, havansidy short sleeve maxi dress.

Of course, I (along with so many others) have so little time to shop in person, which makes Amazon a great — and affordable — place to buy spring and summer essentials. Scroll below to see my top 11 picks for warm-weather Amazon dresses that are stylish for summer weddings , parties, beach days and more.

The tie front and tie back detailing of this dress deliver a customizable look. Falling mid-calf and featuring a slit, this dress is ideal for when you want coverage but also some shape. I’m very into its corset-esque bodice, which helps hold my mommy-middle in, if you will. Available in five colours, this dress and a cute blazer will take you all the way into fall.

You can never have too many floral sundresses . This one from Cupshe will surely be a summer fave with its V-neck front and sexy open back. You'll be comfortable and chic in this ankle-length maxi dress, which comes in several different patterns and is also available in a shorter knee-length option. Plus, it's a cute pick for wedding season .

Asymmetrical dresses are perhaps my favourite style of dress ever created. This one from Prettygarden comes in 16 different colours and features a sexy cutout on the front and back. The front slit also adds a bit of adventure to this fitted and more formal summer dress.

This Famulily smock dress has summer fun written all over it. The cap sleeves and the ruffled hemline give it an added dose of sass. Grab your favourite flats or a casual pair of summer wedges, and you are all set for your next girls' night out.

You always need to have a long-sleeved dress in your closet for those unpredictable spring days, and this ankle-length one from Prettygarden is a great choice. I just love the flow of the pleated high-waisted dress, perfect for that spring party or outdoor wedding .

Prettygarden's flowy, ankle length dress is also available in a sleeveless design, ideal for summer weddings . I wonder which of the seven colours and patterns you will pick?

Your summer wardrobe isn’t complete if you don’t have at least two or three tank mini-dresses in your closet. This one from Amazon Essentials can be dressed up or down and comes in seven colours.

I'm a huge fan of dresses that can take you from season to season. This knee-length summer dress from Jocafiye can easily be accessorized with a woven belt or cute cardigan for fall. Its loose design also prevents it from feeling too tight around your waist.

Cute, casual and chic. This dress from Misfay checks all the boxes. And it even has pockets! With side slits and a little opening at the neck, this coverup is great for a day at the beach or a fun night out. Available in 30 different colours and patterns, I dare you to order just one!

With its empire waist and rayon/spandex fabric blend, this Grecerelle dress is great for all body types. Available in over a dozen different colours and patterns, the versatile summer dress is also available in short and long-sleeved options.

Looking for a cute and comfortable T-shirt-style dress? This Havansidy Short Sleeve Maxi Dress has you covered. Pair it with a baseball cap or straw hat and your outfit is complete. The side slits give it a little edge, as does the rounded bottom. Oh, and did I mention it also has pockets? Whether you have a coffee date with your bestie or are off to the beach with the kids, this cute pullover dress is a great ‘fit.

I Spend Every Summer in Europe, and These Are the 15 Items I Always Pack — From $20

They have a permanent spot in my bag, whether I'm headed to Greece, Italy, or France.

Travel + Leisure / Tyler Roeland

It’s almost that time of year: when the shorelines of the Amalfi and Dalmatian coasts welcome sunbathing bodies, outdoor cafes serve up spritzes, and winsome medieval towns spill over with pedestrians. I travel to Europe each summer , and despite the crowds, I’ve never grown tired of the Caldera views at sunset in Santorini, the whitewashed buildings of Puglia, and streetside people watching from some of my favorite French bistros.  

As a travel writer, I've observed the effortlessly chic fashion of Europeans as they welcome the summer months, from neutral linens to mixing and matching cotton with colorful silk accents and tailored blazers. Their stylish takes have helped inform my travels over the years, including wearing fabrics that are light enough for long days of walking and battling the summer heat and crowds. 

I’ve also learned to be more mindful of packing with my itinerary in mind for each trip. During a recent food-fueled visit to Verona, where I dined in the revered open kitchen of Michelin-starred Chef Giancarlo Perbellini, I was very thankful to have worn loose-waisted pants that could withhold a few stains once the seventh divine course made its way to my table. On a particularly rainy day through the majestic grounds of Hotel Royal Victoria on Lake Como, good sneakers with traction prevented my Italian dream from ending in a nightmare with a trip to the hospital from a bad fall — more proof that small choices while packing can lead to big saves later on. 

Below are a few of my favorite travel companions for a European jaunt, from tried-and-true packing cubes and portable fans to breathable one-piece swimsuits for beach days and versatile clothing pieces that can go from day to night. 

Linen Shirt Dress

Summer days call for easy-to-wear fabrics. Made with 100 percent eco-friendly linen fiber, this shirt dress from Quince is breathable and lightweight. Two pockets make it convenient to store things in, and it can be dressed up with a belt, or even used as a cover-up on the beach. Also part of Quince’s recently launched European line, this Scoop Neck Midi Dress comes in a variety of colors, from blue pinstripe to martini olive, and it's perfect for city strolls, sightseeing tours, and whatever else is on your itinerary.  

Portable Fan

Rising temperatures in Europe each summer make a portable fan a necessity, whether you'll be spending your time outdoors or indoors (remember: most Europeans don't use air conditioning systems). This nifty option from Duolz has five speeds with a battery life of up to 12 hours. A nice bonus to this fan is that it comes with aromatherapy tablets that can be dropped in to emit relaxing aromas. It can be used as a handheld device or foldable neck design to prop on surfaces. An LED light display shows how much power is left, so you're never caught by surprise when it's time to recharge. 

Breathable Shorts 

Known for its breathable activewear, Fanka delivers with these sculpting bike shorts, made with durable, elastic fabric. The targeted compression points on the shorts can help with blood flow and tired muscles, particularly on long walking days while traveling. I like to pack them for trips where I intend to get a hotel gym workout in, and I'm a big fan of the 360-degree smoothing waistband and snug fabric to prevent them from sliding down while exercising. Also included in my workout packing checklist anytime I travel are Columbia’s Konos Outdry Shoes , which are particularly useful during rainy city days or uphill walks, as they are waterproof and provide optimal traction. 

Mini Portable Charger

Carrying a mini charger has been a game-changer while traveling abroad, particularly on long walking days where I’m relying on Google Maps to get me to where I need to go. This mini portable charger power bank from Lanluk is lightweight and small enough to keep in your pocket. I love not having to lug a chord around to charge my phone as well. Plus, it comes in handy in hotel rooms, Airbnbs, and vacation rentals with limited outlets; you don't have to fight with your fellow travelers to recharge your device at the end of the day. 

A perfect accompaniment for any beach day, the Graham Tote from State Bags is my colorful, spacious pick for sunbathing days. Made with 100 percent recycled cotton, the tote features a main compartment that can hold a few books, a laptop, or even a pair of shoes, and an interior pocket for a cellphone and wallet. Beyond the beach, it also makes a great everyday purse, as well as a trusty personal bag for flights; it has a trolley pass-through sleeve that allows it to slide over luggage handles for hands-free convenience. 

Packing Cubes 

On my last trip to Europe, I managed to get nine dresses, and a handful of pants and shirts into a carry-on — all thanks to the power of packing cubes. This compression set from Bagsmart helps me sort my favorite summer clothing without any wardrobe compromises or leaving anything behind. The cubes come in a variety of sizes and are made with durable polyester to withstand any wear and tear. But, what sets them apart from other packing cubes is the detachable crossbody strap for ease of travel. 

One-piece Bathing Suit

I adore a classic one-piece swimsuit, and this new option from Vuori delivers with its removable cups, a slightly cheeky fit, adjustable straps, and a very clutch hip phone pocket to store your phone. The elastane fabric provides ultra-stretch and fast moisture-wicking capabilities for hot beach days. The cut of the piece is also versatile enough to wear as a bodysuit and pair with a skirt or pants.

Beach Towel 

Light enough to easily pack into your luggage, this beautiful beach towel from Coyuchi has a diamond-woven pattern inspired by vintage African ikat textiles and ensures that any spot on the shore is the best. A soft velour and looped terry fabric offers ultimate softness and maximum absorbency. I love the sea mist and persimmon color options, as they remind me of an idyllic day on the Mediterranean. It also doubles as a picnic blanket when needed, and depending on your accommodations, you can use it as a bath towel. 

Travel Wallet

This multi-functional wallet from Calpak is perfect for travelers who like an all-in-one organization solution. You can safely store your cards and cash in the designated compartments, and there’s also a space to hold your passport (in addition to extra slots and pouches for other miscellaneous items that need safekeeping). It’s equipped with an RFID-blocking lining for security and the removable straps allow it to be worn as a fanny pack, purse, or clutch. I love the chic croc material and range of colors, which include emerald green and cognac brown. 

Standout Dress

If you’re looking for vibrant colors to inspire a seaside European escapade, there are plenty of stunning dresses to help you do so. Personally, I'm a fan of Nigerian designer Andrea Iyamah’s summer collection — specifically the Turi Mesh dress that evokes Grecian goddess vibes with a lightweight bodycon fit and one-shoulder draping. It's only available for pre-order now, so allow me to direct you to the Farm Rio White Floral Sketch Midi Dress that will help you channel the same energy. Over at Amazon, you can get a similar look with the Zesica Crossover Halter Dress and the Blencot Long-sleeve Maxi Dress , both of which are on sale for under $50. 

Relaxed Jeans

A pair of comfortable, breathable jeans is essential for any European trip. Paired with a breezy tank or linen shirt, these cropped denim pants from Mother have helped me navigate any temperature with their loose, ankle-length fit. On nights out, I like to dress them up with these comfy Kinetic Wedges from Sorel and pair them with this lightweight favorite V-neck blouse from Mother for a pop of color. 

Comfy Flats

I’ve suffered far too many injuries on my feet after long days of walking to ever choose cuteness over comfort again. When the itinerary calls for something a little dressy, I reach for these Melissa Campana flats to achieve a casual or glammed-up look; they can ease me from day into night with an interwoven cutout design and cushioned footbeds. For a pair that instantly evokes Parisian style, opt for the Madewell Greta Ballet Flats . Shoppers rave that they're packable, versatile, and "comfortable right out of the box." 

MZ Wallace Crosby Crossbody Sling Bag  

I will forever sing the praises of this classic crossbody from MZ Wallace. It’s been by my side for long-haul flights, casual walking tours, and dressed-up dinners. That versatility is thanks to its detachable crossbody strap that can be swapped out for a fashionable, gold-embedded chain strap that adds a touch of luxury to any outfit. This sling bag is large enough to fit your daily essentials for a day out and fits comfortably anywhere you adjust it. Amazon is stocked with equally intriguing, stylish, and functional options — like the Anck Checkered-printed Fanny Pack ($30), the Cluci Mini Everywhere Crossbody Waist Bag ($25), and the Bagsmart Quilted Waist Pack ($20). 

Foldable Hat 

This wide-brim straw hat from Amazon-loved brand Lanzom is foldable and can be packed without taking up any luggage space. Made with a soft yet sturdy material, it's a comfortable style that can fit all head sizes thanks to its adjustable, internal strap. For another fun pick, this Sahara Guide hat from REI Co-op has breathable mesh side panels to keep you cool and an adjustable chin strap so that it doesn’t fly off. It particularly delivers in environments like Athens’ Acropolis and Rome's Colosseum, where the summer heat can be unforgiving. 

Curel Oil Control Weightless Gel Face Moisturizer

Humid days in Europe call for adjustments in skincare, particularly when the sweat kicks in. This gel moisturizer from Curel’s recently launched Skin Balancing Care Collection — exclusively available on Amazon — combats excess oil sebum and is fragrance- and oil-free. I always travel with it because it provides great moisture to the skin without feeling too heavy.

Memorial Day Apple iPad deals

The stand-out deal right now is on Apple’s 10th-generation iPad, which is down to $300 when you clip the on-page coupon. The entry-level iPad has 64GB of storage, Touch ID, and an expansive 10.9-inch display. Despite being marketed as an entry-level model, the iPad looks similar to Apple’s pricier options. It comes equipped with a USB-C port—the same one found in the iPhone 15 series and latest iPad Pro—and a powerful A14 Bionic processor.

The latest iPad Pro with M4 chip , iPad Air , and even the iPad mini are discounted, saving you up to $50. The Pro and Air models just received a refresh, so it’s an incredible opportunity to save on these brand-new releases.

Another standout deal is on the 13-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip , bringing the price down to an all-time low of $1,349 ($150 off). The discount applies to the configuration with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, making it a powerful option for tasks beyond simple web browsing and sending email. Meanwhile, you can save up to $149 on the 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip after clipping the on-page coupon, dropping the price to $1,150. Apple unveiled the new 13- and 15-inch MacBook Air at the beginning of March, so these devices are the top-of-the-line right now. You can also save $149 on last year’s iMac with M3 chip and $199 on the MacBook Pro with M3 chip , the latter of which offers 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
