Wiholl Long Sleeve Thermal Shirt
Amazon
A good layering shirt is the unsung hero of winter travel, and just for $10, this one from Wiholl is an absolute no-brainer. It’s lightweight enough to layer under sweaters, jackets, or even a dress, yet warm enough for chilly planes and cold-weather destinations. The fit is simple, with some stretch, making it ideal for long travel days. Plus, it comes in a ton of colors, so you can stock up and rotate without anyone realizing you’re a bona fide outfit repeater.
Delsey Paris Chatelet Hardside Carry-on
Amazon
If you want your suitcase to look as polished as your travel outfit, this Delsey Paris carry-on delivers. Its vintage-inspired design somehow feels both timeless and modern, and it’s guaranteed to stand out in a sea of black luggage at baggage claim. Beyond looks, it’s lightweight, smooth-rolling, and thoughtfully organized inside—checking all the boxes I personally look for as a frequent traveler.
Charmast Portable Charger with Built-in Cables
Amazon
In my opinion, there’s nothing more stressful than watching your phone battery dip below 15 percent while navigating a new city. This portable charger eliminates that panic thanks to its built-in cables, meaning you don’t have to remember to pack extra cords. It’s compact enough to toss into a crossbody or backpack, but powerful enough to keep your devices alive all day. Once you travel with it, you’ll probably be left wondering how you ever traveled without one.
Bagsmart Toiletry Bag with Hanging Hook
Amazon
I originally bought this Bagsmart toiletry bag for my mom, and she loves it so much that now I want one for myself. The hanging hook is a game-changer for small hotel bathrooms, keeping everything visible and off the counter. It’s thoughtfully organized with plenty of compartments, so you’re not digging for your moisturizer after a red-eye flight. Consider this a practical upgrade that somehow feels like a luxury.
Apple AirTag 4-pack
Amazon
AirTags are one of those travel upgrades you don’t realize you need until you have them. Slip one into your suitcase, backpack, or even your wallet, and suddenly lost luggage feels a lot less intimidating. They’re especially comforting during busy travel days when bags tend to wander. This four-pack deal is perfect for covering all your essentials and heading into the new year with some extra peace of mind.
Casly Lamiit 2-piece Lounge Set
Amazon
On travel days, I want to feel like I’m wearing pajamas while still looking like I tried—and this 2-piece set nails that balance. The fabric is cozy, but the matching silhouette instantly makes it look intentional. I especially love the high neckline, which feels very on-trend and polished for airport outfits. It’s the kind of set you can wear on the plane, out to coffee, and straight to your destination without changing.
Lillusory Oversized Sweater
Amazon
This is the kind of sweater that earns its keep in a travel wardrobe. It’s classic, cozy, and just oversized enough to feel relaxed without looking sloppy, making it perfect for layering over tees, tanks, or thermals when you’re hopping between climates. With multiple colors available, it’s easy to build a mix-and-match winter travel capsule wardrobe you’ll wear long after the trip ends.
Gladdon Crossbody Shoulder Bag
Amazon
This is one of those bags that looks far more expensive than it actually is—which is always the goal. The silhouette is timeless, making it easy to wear with everything from travel-day loungewear to dinner outfits. Plus, it’s the perfect size to keep your essentials secure and close without weighing you down.
Bagail 8-set Packing Cubes
Amazon
I genuinely never pack without packing cubes, and this set makes staying organized feel effortless. They help keep outfits separate, maximize suitcase space, and make unpacking at hotels much easier. I love knowing exactly where everything is, especially when moving between destinations. Once you use them, chaotic suitcase digging becomes a thing of the past.
Hydro Flask 24-ounce Water Bottle
Amazon
I hate to admit it, but my Hydro Flask is basically my emotional support water bottle—I bring it everywhere. It doesn’t leak, it’s easy to sip from, and it keeps water cold for hours, which is essential for long travel days. Plus, as a solo traveler, the durable stainless steel design feels like an extra layer of protection (if you catch my drift).
Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneakers
Amazon
When a sneaker is both podiatrist-approved and Oprah-loved, you know it’s worth adding to your cart. Now marked down below $100, these Dr. Scholl’s sneakers are made for getting in some serious steps, whether you’re sightseeing or sprinting through an airport. These have also been editor-approved for over 100,000 steps, making them a go-to for trips spent exploring on your feet.
Dlooda Wide-leg Jeans With Elastic Waistband
Amazon
Premium brands like Rag & Bone have gone viral for their sweatpant-style jeans, but if you’re shopping on a budget after the holidays, this Amazon pair is a seriously good alternative. Reviewers swear they feel just as comfortable as sweatpants which is exactly what most travelers want on long days on-the-go. The elastic waistband makes hours of sitting far more bearable, while the on-trend wide-leg silhouette still looks polished and chic. They’re the ultimate in-between when leggings feel a bit too casual but you can’t bother to wear stiff denim.
Etronik Overnight Duffel Bag
Amazon
With over 4,000 bought in the past month alone, this overnight duffel clearly has a fan club. It’s spacious enough for a quick getaway but still compact enough to work as a personal item. The built-in USB charging port is especially clutch for travel days when outlets are hard to come by. It’s practical, popular, and ideal for weekend trips or spontaneous overnights.
Koolaburra by Ugg Burree Platform Slippers
Amazon
If Santa didn’t leave these under your tree, consider this your second chance. These cozy platform slippers are still marked down, making them an easy post-holiday win. They’re plush, warm, and elevated (literally) thanks to the platform sole. With a durable sole, it feels like the socially acceptable way to wear slippers outdoors. Whether you use them for lounging after travel days or for running errands, they’re a great addition to bring into the new year.
