If you want to see me at peak happiness, put me in a room with Amazon travel accessories and leave me there for an hour. I truly believe that the right travel accessories can make a journey significantly more pleasant. Amazon is a mecca for random stuff, and I always find things I didn't even know existed but once I do, I don't know how I traveled without them.
The catch is that there are an overwhelming number of things to choose from when you type in the words "travel accessories" in that trusty Amazon search box. But it was my pleasure to search through hundreds of them. The below items, along with more than a few that I can personally vouch for, are the fruits of my labor.
Packism
Clear Toiletry Bag 3 Pack
There are tons of uses for these bags, but I find them to be especially great for travel.
Steripod
Steripod Clip-On Toothbrush Protector 2 Count
Do yourself a favor and protect your toothbrush.
Skyn Iceland
Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels
These eye patches are amazing. Pop them on for 10 minutes and you'll look incredibly refreshed (without even disturbing your makeup).
E-Senior
Collapsible Water Bottle
I was delighted to learn that collapsible water bottles are a thing (and they're perfect for travel, for obvious reasons).
LeanTravel
Compression Packing Cubes for Travel, Set of 3
The only thing better than packing cubes is compression packing cubes.
Anker
Portable Charger
I did my research and this seems to be the best of the affordable portable chargers.
Ursa Major
Essential Face Wipes 20 Count
These suit all skin types and cleanse, exfoliate, soothe, and hydrate in one fell swoop.
