$27.99Foldable Wireless Charger
It’s a well know fact that my home is in a constant state of contention over chargers.
Where’s my charger? I need a charger? Who took my charger?
We say charger 400 times a day.
I bought this for one of my girls for a recent trip she was on and it’s fantastic if you have all Apple products.
(I should note, they do, I don’t.)
It folds up neatly into a little square so you can throw it in your bag and then leave it on your nightstand to charger your iPhone, AirPods and Apple watch all at once.

$39.99Compression Packing Cubes
If you are trying to maximize space, pick up a set of compression packing cubes.
I use this exact set, also from Bagsmart, and they free up so much room while keeping you organized.
When I don’t need compression, I have a set of these in various colors for everyone in the family. They are incredibly helpful when packing the kids.

$25.49Collapsible Mesh Foldable Hamper
One of my most brilliant packing strategies revolves around this collapsible hamper.
Last summer, we started renting a place at the shore for a month (we’re doing it again this summer), and packing up a family of five,
including two teenage girls and a five-year-old, for four weeks was insane.
Part of the system was that each girl got one of these hampers, which we filled with their toiletries, hair stuff, favorite blankets, towels, pajamas, underwear, and bathing suits in packing cubes. The hamper and a clear storage container acted as their suitcase.
And then, when we unpacked, this was the hamper in their bedrooms.
They collapse flat when you don’t need them, so they take up no room when stored.

$6.99Kindle Paperwhite
I can read three books, front to back, on a kid-free long weekend.
I learned this a few years ago in Miami (who reads three books in Miami? Me.) when I tore through the two books I brought and wanted another one.
But bookstores are only a little on every corner down there.
I eventually found one, but when I got home, I ordered the Kindle Paperwhite so I would never have to leave the pool to find something else to read.
It’s so lightweight, and takes up no room.
Now, I use it every day, not just on vacation.

$49.99Raycon The Everyday Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds
picked these Raycon Earbuds up during Amazon Prime Days last year and I can’t recommend them enough.
I go for long walks every morning when we are on vacation, and these are wonderful.

I would pick them over AirPods every time.
