Pretty and practical, they’re excellent for personalizing any hardshell — ‘gram-worthy and great for standing out at the baggage carousel.

Sleek and lightweight, it’ll be in your bag every time you hear “bless you.” You’ll thank us later.

If toting around a giant wallet on vacay makes your cringe, we invite you to consider the benefit of joining the keep-it-separate club.

Italian brand Moschino is known for their 80s-inspired popping eye-candy graphic prints. If you can’t afford to fork over more than $800 for a shirt (we can’t either), then this travel umbrella is a way to grab a little bit of luxury. Bonus for the glitter-embossed, neoprene zippered carrying case.

For most of us, obtaining a bottle of Le Labo’s ubiquitous Santal 33 eau de parfum—which cost $82 for half an ounce —is no small purchase. All of the brand’s fragrances are similarly priced, but this tube of this shea balm lip balm is a comparative steal. Swipe some on in flight to battle dryness in the cabin and keep your smackers moisturized.

Let’s be real. We don’t care about protecting the outside of our passport. It’s nearly impossible to rip, and isn’t like an iPhone, which has a decent chance of breaking if dropped caseless.
