A TSA Approved lock is located on the side of the bag. Not sure that you would need to use this lock, however, it will give you peace of mind, if you need to use it.

This jewelry organizer doesn’t take up much room. It does a great job of keeping your necklaces and other jewelry pieces from becoming tangled.

5) Skogfe Mini Refillable travel perfume bottles

It’s difficult to fit a full bottle of perfume in a carry-on bag or a small purse. You take a chance that it may break or leak while in transport. Or you may spend extra money on a travel-size bottle of perfume.

That’s not an issue anymore thanks to Skogfe’s compact bottles for perfume. Whatever fragrances you love the most may now go with you wherever you go.

Skogfe’s design is compact enough to carry in a purse or a pocket like a pen. More than one or two fragrances can fit comfortably in your carry-on, purse or pocket, or can be kept at your desk.

6) Etekcity Luggage Scale

Having a baggage scale as part of your travel necessities is a must. It will serve as a useful tool for keeping track of how many belongings you’ve packed for your trip.

The time and money you save at the airport check-in counter, will be minimized by weighing your luggage before you leave. Making it an item that you absolutely must have.

7) iWALK Mini Portable Charger

When you travel, you spend a lot of time in transit, whether it’s on a train, bus, plane, or car. And then there’s all the time you spend waiting at airports, bus stations, and train stations. You may not have access to a power bank to recharge your gadgets very often.

But, a portable power bank will put an end to your battery woes. Portable power banks are available in convenient sizes for use on the go.

8) Kindle

We all know how stressful air travel can be at times. We deal with passports, packing, and remembering to carry miniature shampoo bottles. And then there are layovers and delays. Although layovers and delays are something that everyone has to deal with, they don’t have to be a drag.

Innovations in technology have greatly improved the Kindle. You can now listen to music, view movies, play games, and so much more on it, in addition to reading books and listening to audiobooks. Though not a tablet, it offers many of the same conveniences for far less money.

9) Eddie Bauer Women’s Charly Jacket

Rather than lugging about two separate jackets, one that can be worn in wind and rain is the way to go. This style of jacket is suitable for all except the coldest months of the year. The ideal jacket for all four seasons is lightweight, windproof, and water resistant.

Wear it with a suit or jeans, this Eddie Bauer jacket works for every occasion. One of the finest features of this jacket is that it can be washed and dried in a conventional washing machine. This is my go-to outerwear since it always looks great.

10) Fitbit Versa 4

It’s easy to make excuses for not working out. You may be away from your regular environment, or can’t use an exercise facility. But a smartwatch can help you stay on track.

Besides being a smartwatch, the Fitbit Versa 4 serves as a smartwatch/fitness tracker. Not only will you have access to smartwatch features, but you will also be able to track your fitness.

15) Hilbalm Travel Sunglass Case

The best way to travel with your sunglasses is to wear them, but when you’re not wearing them, they should be kept in a hard case.

If you put them in a soft case, other things in your carry-on can easily crush them, or they could get lost or broken in your checked luggage.

Sunglasses cases from Hilbalm come with a hard shell carrying case to keep your favorite pair safe at home or on the go. And if your sunglasses didn’t come with a case, it’s a good idea to keep one of these cases close by.
