This year, Amazon Prime Day will take place for the second time! On October 8 and 9, Amazon will host a two-day Prime Day full of sales and deals so you can plan your holiday shopping. Or, in this case, shopping for your next upcoming trip! Prime Day is the perfect day to stock up travel needsbut this list has some brilliant items that will take your traveling skills to the next level!

Toiletries

First, remember to pack your toiletries! There are fewer and fewer amenities in hotels, so it’s worth taking care of cleanliness after returning from a day full of adventures!

Traveling dries out your skin, so it’s a good idea to have a nice face spray on hand (no pun intended), especially one with aloe. Not only does it combat dry, flaky skin, but it can also help soothe your skin after prolonged exposure to the sun!

The best underrated travel gadget is a good shower scrubber. Choose one called sapo, which has a natural antibacterial effect and air dries quickly, so you’ll be ready to pack it back up when your trip is over… or when it continues to your destination! Best for cleaning hard-to-reach places like your back!

Who wouldn’t want to have bright teeth for all the fun photos you’ll be taking? Crest Whitestripes are a must-have for that last-minute fix when you’ve had one too many cups of coffee at work. It’s a quick and easy way to feel more confident in your photos while you’re on vacation. They are on great sale for Prime Day 2024!

Clothing and accessories

Traveling isn’t always comfortable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make up for it with your outfit. Here are the most popular clothes on sale on Prime Day that everyday travelers need.

OK, technically compression socks are pretty standard travel gear, but this is one of the best deals on compression socks I’ve seen in a while! Compression socks are great for keeping your blood flowing on long plane or train trips, so you’ll definitely want to buy yourself (or someone else) a pair.

Why wait until you reach your destination to feel confident? Frequent travelers swear by their airport/travel attire. This cuts down on the time you have to plan your outfit, but looking put together (even in the most comfortable outfit) can really pay off when you upgrade to business or first class because you look AND feel the part!

This one is aimed more at women (and can also be used as a security feature), but in some places, wearing a fake wedding ring can help ward off nosy (and persistent) men trying to hit on women who would otherwise just be trying to enjoy the trip when you’re traveling alone ! It’s also helpful to lie that your significant other is nearby or on the way and you’re not alone. 9 times out of 10 it will annoy you!

Sometimes there is simply no time to do a hairstyle. Whether it’s before or during your trip, having a quick wig on hand can really save you time and energy while giving you peace of mind when your hair just isn’t cooperating but the show (i.e. your travel itinerary) has to to last! In addition, part of the hat also serves as a shade on sunny days. Two birds with one stone.

Security

Traveling itself isn’t more dangerous, but it doesn’t hurt to be vigilant. Along with following a few others basic safety tipsThese two gadgets will help give you peace of mind when you’re away from home.

Not all hotel deadbolts are created equal, especially if you are staying in older hotels, motels or rental homes such as Airbnb. Having a clever door security wedge on hand can keep you extra safe while you’re sleeping… or doing anything else people do in hotel rooms.

And when you’re walking, it’s a good idea to have a personal audible alarm to turn on if you feel threatened or anxious. Items like pepper spray and stun guns are not usually allowed on airplanes, but a personal audible alarm is perfectly acceptable if you can take it with you in a checked or carry-on bag.

Tech

And finally: where would we be without our technology? Certainly not on a plane, that’s for sure. Here are some tech items you can get during October’s Prime Day 2024!

Suitable for cars, trains and planes, this mini portable air purifier helps keep germs away even in the most confined spaces. It also works well as a general air purifier if you’re traveling to a city with high air pollution or even outdoors when wildfire smoke is blowing towards you!

Children may have a short attention span… and even shorter patience when it comes to traveling. Help keep them entertained with the Amazon Fire tablet, which is currently on a great Prime Day sale. You can pre-download your child’s favorite programs to make the “journey” part easier.

In most hotels and accommodations that have upgraded TVs, you can take your Amazon Fire TV Stick with you to plug it in when you get to the hotel and relax after a long day. Whether you’re traveling for work or pleasure, you no longer have to avoid spoilers from your favorite shows – you can stay up to date wherever you go!
