Promising review: "Every time I travel miscellaneous items seem to gather at the bottom of my tote bag but no longer with this device. It fit perfectly in the bottom of my tote and it also fits in some of my larger purses (that were like black holes!). Being organized makes life so much easier — grab one or two of these to organize your life too!" —Michele W. Gibson

Promising review: "I love this bag. No more riffling through a black bag trying to find stuff. My poor husband has suffered through many years of digging trying to find stuff. The orange liner is awesome. I love that my coffee thermos and water bottle are easy to reach. While it is deep, it doesn’t feel that way. Everything is at the touch of my fingers. I highly recommend it!" —Chantal R.

Promising review: "These soap sheets are perfect to keep in your purse or your car. They foam up really well after being in contact with water. One sheet is enough for a thorough hand wash. Just make sure to grab a sheet, with dry hands! So that the other sheets don’t get damp. The scents are very calming and not strong. Loved this product!" —R

Promising review: "My daughter travels for work, I always worry about her safety. One day she called me from her car on her way home from work to let me know this “chirper” she calls it really works! She was on her way out of the courthouse and an unhappy man was following her, yelling at her. She kept telling him she understood his frustration but he needed to back away from her. He did not listen, she used this product and he was so taken by surprise he just turned and walked away. Thank you!" —Lisa M.

Promising review: "This was in the top two best things I purchased and used for backpacking!! When I wasn't using it, I could collapse it and keep it in my side pocket of my pack. And when in use, still fit in my side pocket well due to its malleability! Plus it's a good place to filter water into. You won't regret bringing this bad boy on a multi-day hiking trip!" —Taylor

Promising review: "I've been on all kinds of mediation my whole life and gone through so many pill boxes. They are super easy to sort the pills into. They click shut and slide into its own case. I travel a lot and these are great to put in your purse and carry on. I'm ordering my 4th set today. I have a long trip coming up and I want to make sure I have enough for the trip. They are my go-to pill box" —Libby W

Promising review: "I got this little case for storing my charging cables in my backpack. My backpack is much less chaotic now, and I'm personally finding it easier to put my cords back where they belong now that they have an official home.

Pikore is a small business based in Ukraine that specializes in small leather bags and accessories.

Promising review: "This was a life saver on our trip to France. Air conditioning is a luxury in France and many shops are pretty warm inside. This little fan helped me keep cool in the warmest of locations. The power bank also came in useful for charging my phone, when my main power bank ran out of battery one day. Love that it also has a flashlight. Even my daughter who had made fun of me for purchasing it, ended up using it to keep her makeup intact during a photo shoot in Paris." —Maylen Alfonso

Temperature ranges from 95–131 degrees F.

Promising review: "Very small, but very hot. Don’t be fooled by my small hands, this hand warmer is about the size of a computer mouse BUT it gets very hot. Perfect for camping, sporting events, hunting, or in my case, a chilly office. It’s small enough to easily fit in my purse so I can tote it with me when I need it. I am highly satisfied." —AO

Promising review: "I'm outdoors quite a bit, and this product not only provides a cooling effect when I spray it on, but I also notice less irritation and redness by the end of the day. I like the tiny travel-sized bottle so it can accompany all my adventures (hikes, music festivals, city exploring, etc). I have oily/acne-prone skin and did not experience any breakouts. This spray also works well with the other skincare products I have, including my tretinoin." —Erin

Get it from Tower 28 or Sephora for $12.

Promising review: "Our lives are always so busy. This make up pen is perfect for on the go, busy lives. Just in case maybe you forgot to put your make up on or don’t have time, this at least gives you a little bit of something to where you don’t look like a total zombie. This make up pen is super convenient because you can keep it right there in your purse or in your car or wherever and very handy to use it whenever you need to or whenever you need a little extra flair!" —Miller

Promising review: "I've used Tide pens for years and always kept one in my purse, but it has been difficult in the last couple of years finding them in the stores. So glad I found them on Amazon. My husband and I love eating out and invariably, one or the other of us will drop a little something on our clothes. This product has saved many a date night. It removes the stain and dries quickly allowing us to continue and enjoy our outings instead of returning home due to soiled clothes." —Sharron Fritts

Promising review: "What a difference over standard earbuds! I don't know why I waited so long to make the investment, the sound and noise cancelation are incredible. I also appreciate the 'findmy' app so I can locate them when I forget where I put them. I was always nervous about spending the money on something I thought I was just going to lose. The app leads you right to them. I wore them on a plane recently and couldn't believe how noisy the plane was when I took them out. They made my trip much more comfortable and enjoyable." —Christine

Get it from Amazon for $99.

Promising review: "I always carry one of these cups in my sling pack, backpack, or whatever I'm using on walks with my pup. We live in a warm climate so it's super important but even in cool weather, dogs need water on a long walk. These foldable cups are so handy — I pop one of them open, pour in some water from my own water bottle, shake it out when he's done and we both continue on! Great for travel as they stow so easily. An inexpensive investment for something that's so super convenient." —Andromeda

Get a pack of two for $5.99 (available in 14 colors).

Promising review: "These are amazing! They are easy to use, do a much better job at absorbing oil than other products, and leave my skin feeling great. For people without oily skin, I can see how this may dry your face out, but for those of us who truly need this product, it’s awesome. I wear way less makeup now and never have to touch it up. I can just use these sheets to get any excess oil in the middle of the day and my face looks like I just redid my makeup!" —Megan

Get it from Amazon for $6.95 (available in charcoal, green tea, and rose).

Promising review: "I love this product. I took it on a recent vacation and it really is a time saver. The moisturizer bar it comes with is soo nice. I usually get a little itchy after shaving but the fact that you can rub in the excess product on the shaved area has helped with itch and ingrown hairs. Now that I'm not on vacation I use it right before I go the pool, I seriously take this thing everywhere." —Karlie Hanson

Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I really like how accurate the tracking is. I used to lose my keys a lot and I didn’t want to buy an AirTag because I thought they would be expensive and wouldn’t be accurate tracking but I was completely wrong the price is amazing and linking it to your my phone was super easy. Overall I really recommend if you lose your keys a lot or your wallet." —Beatriz

And to attach your AirTag to keychains or bags, get this silicone AirTag Case for $11.88 (pack of four).

Promising review: "I was skeptical, I used it and immediately it sucked the mosquito juice out! I couldn’t believe it. Immediately I felt relief. Please take it everywhere you go during this mosquito season! The bites I get turn into welts and literally bruise me. I wish I had gotten the bug bite thing sooner. 😭😭😭" —Olga

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in seven colors)

Promising review: "Purchased two of these for our one-week Disney World trip. I knew I’d be walking around A LOT and my feet aren’t used to the many miles of walking a day in the hot and humid environment so I didn’t want to be uncomfortable. Happy to say I put it on once in the morning, slipped on some socks and comfy shoes and I didn’t get one blister or issue with my feet! Wish I knew about this a long time ago!" —Michelle

Get it from Amazon for $9.

Promising review: "I always end up having dry hands after walking to my classes in the cold weather, this is perfect because it’s a great travel size to slip into my backpack or purse. The quality of the lotion is very rich, good non-heavy scent, and very moisturizing." —Amazon Customer
