There are tons of great travel items on the market to make any trip more organized. If you know me, I am very budget conscious so I only buy things that I think are absolutely necessary for a trip or items I will gain a lot of value from them. These are my top travel purchases from Amazon that are not only affordable but also have longevity for my trips today and in the future.
1.Fanny Pack
I’ll be honest, when I saw the fanny pack trend coming back I was a little appalled. I bought the “knock-off” version on Amazon because I didn’t want to pay the Lulu prices. Utilizing it for the last few months, I am obsessed. I love that I can use it in my day to day life with walking Juno and running errands. They aren’t tacky if everyone is wearing one right?
2. Hanging Toiletry Bag
For a while I just threw my toiletry products in a plastic bag and called it a day. This past year when on a bachelorette trip a friend recommended this hanging toiletry bag and I am changed. It has pockets for everything I need. When I am not traveling it stays filled up underneath my sink ready to go for the next adventure. It is durable and fits in my backpack easily as well for weekend trips.
3.Travel Jewelry Box
I’m wearing more jewelry, especially necklaces. Similarly to my toiletries, I would just stick them in a ziploc bag and call it a day. Shockingly, the jewelry tangled in the bag and would be a pain to untangle when I arrived at my destination. This simple little box keeps everything organized and takes up minimal space.
4.Tie-Top Shirts
When traveling to Europe last summer, I really wanted to find a way to make my long dresses multipurpose. I tried on many different button down shirts, but none fit the way I wanted to. I stumbled upon these tie-top shirts and they are perfect for converting your dresses into a skirt + shirt combo. These tops are great because I can wear them to school as well!
5.Biker Shorts
My thick thigh ladies know that wearing dresses in the summer is a struggle due to chaffing. The best thing that has helped me with this issue is a solid pair of biker shorts. These ones are especially great as they are very light weight and they have a pocket on the side so you can store your belongings in there as well. I wear these with my dresses to work and the biker shorts to work out as well.
6. Minimalist Wallet
A few years ago for a secret Santa gift exchange, my friend gave me the most beautiful travel wallet. It was a great purchase and I still use it on occasion but I wanted something smaller to fit in my fanny pack. I found this minimalist wallet that is perfect for summer travel and running errands. The wallet has RFID protection as well.
7. Portable Charger
For Christmas a few years ago my mother in law gave us these chargers. At first we were a little confused by them, but they have been so reliable for on the go travel. I love that I don’t have to have any cords to hook it up or carry around. These portable chargers give me one full charge when needed!
8. Silicone Rings
I immediately went on a 6 week international adventure after getting engaged in the summer of 2019. Worrying about my ring getting stolen and wearing it during many hikes, swims and other adventures, I purchased these silicone rings. They work perfectly for my adventures and also in the summer when my fingers get too chubby.
