If you’re someone who needs darkness when you sleep, you’ll definitely want to check out the Grand Trunk Hooded Neck Pillow. It’s got memory foam neck support to keep your head balanced and in a comfortable position, but it’s also got an attached eye shade that pulls down and adjusts in place via the adjustable cord lock. The pillow comes with a sack to help keep it clean and available.

The water bottle has tiny anchors to help keep it in place, and is, of course, made of non-BPA material.

Okay, this isn’t exactly a water bottle, but the raw Personal Water Filter something you might want to consider bringing along if you’re traveling somewhere that you’ll be hiking.

Packing cubes are some of the most useful things you can use in packing. And the Ebags option is a great one. They’re made of lightweight fabric, with ultra-light zippers that only add a few ounces to your luggage weight.

They have mini-frames to keep their shape for easier packing and come with mesh tops for easy visibility and ventilation.

One of the most challenging parts of packing is getting the weight right on your luggage. The Travel Smart Compact Luggage Scale helps you meet that requirement easily, without the hassles of trying to load and unload your luggage at the airport to shift things around.
