Best New Travel Finds at Amazon Overall
Abyliee Hidden Camera Detector
Amazon
Solo travelers can have peace of mind with the help of this handy hidden camera detector. Simply turn on the device, then sweep your hotel room or Airbnb, and if there are any hidden cameras in the space, an alarm will sound and the LED signal will light up. One traveler said it’s about the size of a smartphone and can easily fit inside a jacket pocket.
Amazon Essentials x Sofia Grainge Quilted Toiletry Bag
Amazon
Featuring a paisley pattern and pretty tassel zipper, this toiletry bag will carry your skincare and makeup essentials in style. It has a smaller pocket inside to help organize your belongings, and even though it looks compact, shoppers confirm that the roomy pouch can hold a lot of stuff.
Velaybor Compression Packing Cubes
Amazon
Overpackers will appreciate how the compression technology of these packing cubes helps optimize suitcase space. The set comes with eight different-sized pieces, including a separate shoe bag to keep them separate from your clothes. Each bag is made from a waterproof material that’ll help keep your clothes and accessories dry (even if your toiletries leak).
Epika Travel Plug Adapter
Amazon
If you’re traveling internationally, you’ll need a solid plug adapter, like this one from Epika, to make sure you keep your phone and earbuds juiced up. You can charge up to five devices at once (so you don’t have to hunt for more than one outlet), and you can use it in several countries, including China, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.
Hiquodin Anti-theft Carabiner Clips
Amazon
These carabiner clips can help protect your purse, suitcase, travel backpack, sling bag, and other double-zipper bags from pickpockets. They come in a set of 24 with two sizes to choose from. Just attach a carabiner to your bag’s zippers, making it difficult to pull them apart.
Fioretto Hiking Backpack
Amazon
Whether you’re going backpacking in another country or trekking up a local mountain, you need this packable hiking backpack. It’s foldable and comes with a small phone pocket and water bottle pocket, so you don’t have to take the backpack off every time you need to hydrate or check your texts.
Twelve South AirFly Pro 2 Bluetooth Transmitter
Amazon
I personally don’t own wired headphones, and not every airline offers free ones to watch in-flight entertainment. Thankfully, AirFly has this compact transmitter and receiver adapter that will connect to up to two wireless headphones. Plug it into a headphone jack and enjoy a movie on your long flight without worrying about tangled wires.
Android Bluetooth Tracker Tags
Amazon
These Bluetooth tags give Android users the ability to track checked bags, wallets, purses, and more. It comes in a four-pack and easily pairs with the Google “Find My” app on your phone, so you can check the location of your bags with just a glance.
Pritent Crossbody Sling Bag
Amazon
This sling bag is compact in size, but has plenty of pockets for storing all of your in-flight and sightseeing essentials. It has three front pockets and a main compartment that’s large enough to hold a 12-inch tablet, your phone, portable charger, wallet, airplane snacks, and more. Plus, the two side mesh pockets can hold your umbrella and water bottle, so you can stay hands-free.
Vorspack Travel Shoe Bags
Amazon
It’s risky to pack your shoes and clothes without a layer of protection, especially if they’re a pair of gym shoes. Rather than open your suitcase up to smelly clothes, use these travel shoe bags to make sure your sneakers or sandals are separated from your outfits, to help keep them clean. The bags are made with a waterproof material that’s also transparent, which makes it easy to grab shoes without having to unzip each bag.
