An adhesive phone wallet pouch to keep your most important cards easily at your fingertips but still secure. Extra helpful for an airport where your hands are full of a zillion bulky things.

The material is a fabric and great quality! Just what I was looking for!" —AnnikaPrice: $6.99 (available in nine colors)
An Owala water bottle so you can stay hydrated no matter how far from home you are. Trips are when you arguably need to stay the MOST hydrated, and yet it's when I'm personally most likely to forget to drink water. If we have this in common, grab a special bottle to tuck in your bag to avoid my mistake.
Promising review: "Very sturdy, can handle being dropped and banged around without any damage or dents. It keeps the liquids and ice very cold, and the ice lasts for hours and hours. The price was a little high for a drinking cup, but cheaper than Stanley cups and same or higher quality. The top closes and inner straw is removable so it's easy to clean. The ability to close the lid is better than just a straw and lid-top open like the others." —linseyPrice: $27.94+ (available in six colors)

We plan on getting more in the future." —DaniellePrice: $8.75
A small pack of Clorox wipes for getting all those high-touch travel surfaces squeaky clean. Tremble, gunk on airplane trays! Your time has come.

A handheld fan that's a no-brainer for trips to hot locations, and also for days spent at amusement parks. A Mickey-shaped ice cream bar will taste even better with a handheld breeze blowing on your face.
Promising review: "Super cute, small but packs a windy punch. Stands up on table to be hands-free if needed. USB charging option, light for night vision, and cord to hang. Battery lasts very long so far." —PrincessPrice: $15.19+ (originally $26.99, available in six colors)

A Bluetooth transmitter that allows you to connect your Bluetooth headphones to the airplane audio jack. Not being literally tethered to the seat in front of you and covered in wires while you attempt to relax is gonna be a small but mighty improvement to the flying experience.

A waterproof car trash can so your epic road trip doesn't result in a totally trashed car. In this case, cleaning as you go is the easier option by far. Attach this baby wherever it's out of the way with its versatile strap and voilà! Clean car incoming.

A digital luggage scale to ensure your baggage is in compliance with your airline's weight restrictions, avoiding some nasty fees in the process. Bring it along with you if you want to make sure you're good to go on the way home, too! All those souvenirs add up.
Promising review: "I've had a few luggage scales over the years, and they all fail at one time or another. Usually, it's the battery. Not with this one. It uses regular AAA batteries. I compared what this scale was telling us versus our high-end bathroom scale, and it was very close. It also saved us from paying the overweight fees, which is easy to carry, to make sure your bags are under the required weight limit. It is surprisingly accurate, works great, compact, and easy to use. My husband loves this too and says it works perfectly for all the fish he catches. Can't beat it for the price." —MikePrice: $11.45
A pack of soap sheets so you never get stranded without a way to scrub-a-dub-dub again. Clean hands = happy trip.
Promising review: "Ordered a few of these packages. They're excellent for travel when you need soap to wash your hands and the establishment's bathroom doesn't have soap" —swalmartPrice: $9.95 for 50 sheets
A Master Lock portable safe that can help assuage some of your worry when it comes to traveling with valuables, especially solo. Equipped with a four-digit code and a cable to affix it to a secure spot, hopefully this'll allow you to feel comfortable enough to take a dip in the pool or ocean while leaving your essentials behind.
Promising review: "This is great for carrying personal items like jewelry and cash on trips. Has a way to connect it to your purse or luggage." —dianaPrice: $19.97 (originally $44.87)
Foot Glide anti-blister balm so your feet stay in tip-top shape even as you hop, skip, and jump all around the exciting city you're visiting for the first time.
Price: $9.98

An eight-piece packing cube set for anyone who's ever tried and immediately failed at keeping their luggage in check while on vacation. Vacation isn't the time to fret over organization — let the cubes do it for you.
Promising review: "These bags are perfect! They hold so many clothes. I bought these because they were machine washable. I've washed them a few times now, and they are holding up perfectly! I like being able to organize everything. It's so much easier to go through the luggage when everything is sorted into bags." —KristinaPrice: $14.99+ (available in two colors)
A Bluetooth sleep headband that can double as a sleep mask for anyone who likes to fall asleep listening to music or podcasts. I never want to travel without the dulcet tones of my favorite celebrity gossip podcast as my lullaby.
Promising review: "I was very cautious about buying earphones for sleeping, as I didn't think I'd like anything around my head while I slept. Instead, I found the headband very comfortable and the sound quality excellent. The speakers didn't need to be exactly over each ear in order to be heard well. I'm a side sleeper and didn't feel the speakers at all. They headband charged up in two to three hours and easily lasted through two nights. I like it very much." —ChinellaPrice: $8.99 (originally $12.79)
A four-pack of sand removers so wiping sand off your legs and feet — the most annoying tropical vacay task — is easier than you ever imagined it could be. Just slip your hand into the strap and wipe all those little grains away.
Price: $8.31+ (originally $13.79+, available in two color combos)

This Bluetooth Transmitter Lets You Finally Ditch Airline Headphones

If you fly often, you know the drill. You finally settle into your seat, scroll through the in-flight movie selection, and then it hits you: your AirPods won't connect to the seatback screen. That leaves you stuck with the airline's clunky wired headphones that barely work, don't block any noise and make everything sound muffled. It's one of the most frustrating parts of flying, especially on long trips when decent audio can make all the difference. Between the engine noise, crying babies and that one guy snoring in 14C, you need a better option. The good news is there's a simple device that fixes the problem completely and makes flying feel a lot more like streaming at home. If you travel often, you probably already know the struggle: You're settled into your seat, ready to dive into the in-flight entertainment, only to realize your AirPods won't connect to the screen. The airline's wired headphones? Practically useless. They're uncomfortable, have no noise cancellation and let in every engine roar and crying baby within a three-row radius. For long flights, it's a recipe for a frustrating, low-quality listening experience. That's exactly why the AirFly Pro has become a must-pack item in my travel bag. It's a simple Bluetooth dongle that lets you connect your wireless earbuds (like my AirPods Pro) directly to the airplane's entertainment system, no adapters or wired workarounds required. Since I started using it, I've stopped dreading in-flight audio and finally get to enjoy movies the way they were meant to be heard. If you fly often, this little gadget might completely change how you travel. The AirFly Pro lets me truly enjoy in-flight entertainment The AirFly Pro from Twelve South is a minimally designed dongle that lets me connect to the 3.5mm headphone jack on my flight to listen to in-flight entertainment on my noise-canceling earbuds. All I have to do is pair the AirFly Pro with whichever Bluetooth headphones I'm using, like my AirPods Pro, plug the AirFly Pro into the display in front of me -- and I'm all set. I don't even need to use my phone to connect the two devices. Geoffrey Morrison/CNET There are four versions of the AirFly: the AirFly SE, which costs $35 on Amazon and connects to just one set of headphones; the AirFly Pro ($55); the Pro V2 ($60), the newest version of the Pro; and the Pro Deluxe ($62), which comes with an international headphone adapter and a suede travel case. I use the AirFly Pro, and it's been a game-changer for me on flights. I've never had to worry about battery life -- the AirFly Pro lasts for more than 25 hours and can fully charge in 3 hours. I can also pair two separate pairs of headphones to a single AirFly Pro, in case I'm with someone else on a flight and want to watch the same movie or show. And if that's not enough, the AirFly Pro also doubles as an audio transmitter, so I can turn any speaker with a headphone jack, like my old car stereo, into a Bluetooth speaker. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Geoffrey Morrison/CNET The AirFly Pro makes a great gift The AirFly Pro is the perfect present to give to someone who's planning to travel this year. Besides my Anker MagSafe battery pack, the AirFly Pro really has become my most treasured travel accessory when I fly, which is why I consider it to be one of those can't-go-wrong gifts. For more travel gear, here are our favorite tech essentials to travel with and our favorite travel pillows.

Why I Use Apple AirTags to Track Everything From My Luggage to My Car

Not long ago, as I waited at baggage claim after a trip to Paris, I became increasingly nervous as bag after bag dropped onto the carousel -- none of them mine. I knew there was no need to panic though. Back at Charles de Gaulle airport, I had dropped a sophisticated little tracking device into my trusty rolling suitcase before handing it over and heading to my gate. So, I pulled out my iPhone and, with just a few taps, I could see that my bag had never left the City of Light. (Merde!) Over the years, I've come to depend on Apple's AirTags to keep track of many types of easy-to-lose valuables. They're not only good for luggage. I also use them to track wallets, bikes, keys and even my car. I tell everyone who will listen that you can never have too many of these handy devices. That's why I think it's worth taking advantage of the current deal at Amazon that slashes the price of a four-pack of AirTags down to $75. Here's how the Apple AirTag that was in my suitcase on that fateful trip works. It uses an ingenious method of tracking itself, detecting its location from nearby iPhones and using them to anonymously piggyback the coordinates to a secure server where I could look it up on my iPhone. Until just a few years ago, this would have seemed like a scene straight out of a spy movie. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Instead of wondering if my belongings were stuck on an abandoned luggage cart or strewn across the tarmac, I could see in almost real time that my suitcase was still chilling at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. I was able to calmly tell the airline my bag didn't make the flight, and it made arrangements to have it delivered to me a few days later. Apple AirTags are all about peace of mind By itself, an AirTag isn't much. A 1.26-inch smooth round puck that looks like a glossy white breath mint, it sinks to the bottom of a bag or dangles from a key chain (with a compatible key ring, sold separately). It's meant to disappear. CNET Activating the AirTag was a simple process of pairing with my iPhone. And then, because it obviously doesn't really do anything out of the box, I forgot about it. But the next time I couldn't find my keys? Sorcery. My iPhone didn't just tell me they were somewhere nearby -- it walked me directly to them, thanks to the AirTag's built-in Ultra Wideband chip. Suddenly, all that time I'd spent retracing my steps and overturning couch cushions in the past felt like ancient history. Now I have AirTags in or attached to every significant item I'd want to keep track of: My everyday laptop bag, my camera backpack, the suitcase I use most when traveling, my key chain, my car and a smaller sling bag I take on walks. I can pull up the Find My app on any of my Apple devices (or sign in to iCloud on any web browser) and see where my items are and the last time the AirTags registered their locations. Clip an AirTag onto a bag or bury it in the depths. Sarah Tew/CNET AirTags aren't just for my everyday items. People I know in the movie business tell me that AirTags are tossed into nearly every bag and Pelican crate, not solely to ensure that the valuable equipment inside doesn't walk away but to quickly differentiate equipment amid similar looking containers. Some of my friends also attach AirTags to their pets' collars (though experts say there are better ways to track pets). AirTags are also useful for things that you want to keep close by Being able to detect my luggage a continent away provided a sense of relief, to be sure. But at the local level, my AirTags will also trigger an alert when I get too far away from them. For example, if I accidentally forget my camera bag in the car when I stop somewhere for lunch, a Find My notification appears telling me I've left it behind. It works the same for newer AirPods models as well. Sharing is now a big part of AirTag tracking My family has two cars, and I wanted to be able to track them both. But it used to be inconvenient to pair the AirTag in the car my wife drives to her iPhone (and the one in my car to my iPhone). To guard against unwanted tracking, an AirTag will notify nearby iPhones of its existence, so whenever I drove my wife's car without her in it, I got a notification that an AirTag was traveling with me. (If the owner is near the AirTag, the alert does not appear.) However, ever since the release of iOS 17, AirTags are shareable, which solves this problem. I shared my AirTag with my wife, and she with me, so regardless of which car I'm driving, I can find it more easily in a crowded parking lot without getting constant, unnecessary alerts. Share an AirTag's location with someone you trust. Screenshots by CNET A more recent feature to AirTags that arrived with iOS 18.2 is the ability to temporarily share an AirTag's location with someone I trust. In my luggage example above, if the suitcase was in the airport with me, but the airport's staff hadn't yet been able to locate it (not uncommon during peak travel times), I could share its location with an attendant who could quickly retrieve it from areas inaccessible to the public. Apple Apple AirTag specs Diameter: 1.26 inches (31.9 mm) 1.26 inches (31.9 mm) Height: 0.31 inches (8 mm) 0.31 inches (8 mm) Weight: 0.39 ounces (11 g) 0.39 ounces (11 g) Splash, water and dust resistance: Rated IP67 (maximum depth of 1 meter up to 30 minutes) Rated IP67 (maximum depth of 1 meter up to 30 minutes) Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth 5.0 Battery: Replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery The only minor annoyance about AirTags An AirTag includes Bluetooth, the U1 Ultra Wideband chip and an NFC chip to share basic details when it's in Lost Mode. That's all powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery, which in my experience lasts roughly a year before I need to replace it. I get notified when a battery is starting to get low, although there's no gauge to see how much is left until it goes into the red. And it's easy to change batteries. But my small fleet of AirTags means I need to swap multiple ones each year. I buy them in packs of 20 that I slowly work through. The CR2032 battery in an AirTag can easily be replaced. Patrick Holland/CNET AirTags also make great gifts Apple AirTags consistently appear in our gift guides throughout the year because you can always find another use for one. They're often reduced in price when sold in packs of four. And there's an ever-growing ecosystem of ways to mount them, from sturdy vaults that adhere to a car to discrete fabric holders that will keep your favorite classic bomber jacket from flying away. Whenever I show someone how I use AirTags on a bag or keychain, I kind of wish I had a pocket full of AirTags to hand out because once someone sees how it works, they're sold. When will this deal expire? We don't know how long this deal will last. We see four-packs available at this discounted price pretty frequently throughout the year, but it could expire at any time without notice. I recommend placing your order while you can be sure to get this price because I'm confident you'll find new uses for them once you have a few.

'Absolute beast': This discounted power bank packs huge capacity for just $16

Getting stuck with a dead phone when you're out and about is never fun (and using public chargers can be a little sketchy). Make sure you're not caught at 0% again with the top-selling Iniu Portable Charger — it's down to only $16 right now. The handy little device is powerful enough to recharge an iPhone 8 up to 3.6 times and AirPods Pro about 13 times. The Iniu charger usually goes for $22, making it a juicy 27% off. Compared to similar power banks, this is an absolute steal, especially for something with 10,000mAh of power. This matches the best price on the web, so no need to look elsewhere. When your device is dead, having a power bank on hand can truly save the day. Iniu has a lot of faith that you'll love this portable charger (and the adorable paw print indicator goes a long way); a three-year warranty is included. The power bank supports fast charging and can boost an iPhone to 78% in just one hour. The gadget's 15-layer SmartProtect system eliminates the risks of overheating, overvoltage and other mishaps that might damage your devices. It features three separate ports (two USB-A, one USB-C), which means you can charge up to three devices at once. It's also a multitasker, and one that may come in handy as it doubles as a flashlight. And finally, that cute paw print? It's a charge indicator (and, in our and many reviewers' opinions, a serotonin-booster), letting you see how much power is left at a glance. Wild! More than 61,000 fans have given the Iniu charger a flawless rating. "This battery is an absolute beast," proclaimed a reviewer. "I've had it for years and it still works fantastically. Even dropped and cracked it; it outperforms other batteries I've had. They come and go and this has been ole reliable." One shopper said this gizmo made a family trip a much better experience. "I bought this for Disney and I would say it is absolutely the most valuable thing I bought for the trip," raved a grateful buyer. "I've since used this on long days at the zoo and on a long hiking trip where my phone would have died and my map would have disappeared." Another fan used it to express their sports fandom: "I've purchased at least six of these," one shopper said. "We are Penn State University fans and the paw print lighting up looks like a Nittany Lion paw. The battery charges easily, and it works great. The paw print shows how much battery power you have, and it's large. Very convenient! No more guessing or looking for little tiny lights. The flashlight has come in handy as well." Again, the paw print is a big hit: "I bought this to take on vacation with me. My grandson used it for his Oculus when his batteries died and it lasted for hours of him playing. ... It is quick to recharge [and] I love the paw print that shows how much of a charge it has as well." One reviewer said that while the power bank works great, it can take a while to charge. "Great bang for the buck," the shopper wrote. "The only downside is that it takes a long time to charge fully (about two hours), but it's something I can sacrifice for the price." Another said that the power bank is just a tad heavier than they expected. "I have had this charger for three years, and it is still holding up perfectly. It takes a while to charge (I usually charge it overnight), but it's worth it. The only complaint I have about it is that it is a bit heavy, but I guess it comes with the power it holds." And while you're saving your devices, you may want to keep track of them too with this incredible Apple AirTags deal. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
