1. Best travel accessories of 2022
https://www.socialpilot.co?fp_ref=roshad51
As the world slowly starts to open back up and Covid-related travel restrictions
ease, you may find yourself planning to travel for the first time in a good, long
while. Maybe you’ve already booked the trip you’ve been dreaming about. Or
maybe work has you back on the road. Whatever the reason, constantly changing
pandemic rules and regulations can make traveling more stressful than it used to
be. The best travel accessories (along with some patience) can help even things
out, saving you time, space, and money. That way, you can enjoy the journey, no
matter how near or far you’re headed.
How we selected the best travel accessories
As a frequent and intrepid traveler, I’ve spent a lot of time on long-haul flights to
countries across the globe. I’ve pedaled my bicycle across Central Asia from
Mongolia to Turkey, over the Karakoram and the Caucasus Mountains, and
through most of Europe. My “day job” as a tailor and pattern maker for film and
television also sometimes sends me out of town to work for up to eight months at a
time. (I’ve spent an inordinate number of nights at Marriott Residence Inns across
the United States—which are decorated exactly the same.)
After logging so many miles, I’ve had the opportunity to road-test a lot of traveling
gear and gadgets over the years. And, like most regular globetrotters, I have a
tried and true list of travel accessories I carry with me on any trip. My preferences
skew towards things that can withstand being shoved into a bag on a bicycle and
2. bounced over rocky terrain for days on end and still work perfectly. (Thank you,
2017 12-inch MacBook.)
Different kinds of travelers will gravitate toward different kinds of travel products
(obviously). We combed through a variety of options to come up with the best
travel accessories that will hopefully be useful to the highest number of people on
the widest variety of trips.
Things to consider before buying travel accessories
The best travel accessories save you time, space, and money. There’s a lot of
uncertainty and a decided lack of control involved when you’re traveling, especially
by air. Being prepared with the means to make your trip easier and more
comfortable can go a long way to alleviating the inherent stress of the journey. And
while you may not be able to do anything about a flight that was just delayed for
five hours for no apparent reason, at least you know you can keep your phone
charged and watch your stories while you wait.
Design/usefulness
This may seem like a no-brainer, but the first thing to keep in mind when
purchasing a piece of travel gear is how it will fit into your routine on the road.
Does the thing you’re buying do what it claims effectively without unnecessary
parts or features that you can’t figure out how to use. We looked for travel products
that were intuitive, so you can think to yourself, “Gee, I wish this wallet had a place
3. I could easily store and access my coin euros” and then you discover that it
actually does have just that thing.
Versatility
The best travel aids offer solutions to many common issues on the road and are
helpful on many kinds of trips. While you may love the idea of having a “Paris
overcoat” or an “Aspen ski jacket,” we don’t necessarily think there are best travel
accessories for Europe or any other specific place. The best travel items are those
you take with you on every trip, no matter how where you’re going or how long
you’ll be away.
Durability
No one likes having things break, but travel gear that doesn’t stand up to the
normal wear and tear of life on the road can be especially annoying and
frustrating. Things like luggage wheels or handles breaking, zippers going off
track, or a bicycle handlebar camera mount coming apart in the middle of a rocky
downhill ride. These are not good things. Good travel gear survives baggage
handlers across the world, getting tossed out of tuk-tuks, and bouncing along in
the belly of a bus on an ill-maintained mountain road with amazing views.
Weight and volume
4. Packing is always a weight and volume game, especially since airlines charge you
more for what they consider “overweight” luggage. Thus, the best travel
accessories should be comparatively light and take up as little space as possible.
My own general rule is that anything that weighs more than 16 ounces must serve
a very important function. When packing for my multimonth Silk Road bicycle trip,
the only item more than 1 pound was my “travel” laptop, which weighed in at 2.03
pounds.
Best travel accessories: Reviews & Recommendations
The travel accessories on this list perform a variety of functions, but they are all
essential in their own ways. Once you’ve traveled with them once, you’ll probably
wonder how you ever made do without them.
Best travel wallet: Pacsafe RFIDsafe V150 RFID-Blocking Compact Organizer
Why it made the cut: The Pacsafe RFIDsafe V150 features designated spaces for
passport, credit cards and cash. Plus its strong all-around zipper closure prevents
things from falling out.
Specs:
Weight: 5.3 ounces
5. Dimensions: 6.7 x 5 x .8 inches
Price: $59.95
Pros:
RIFDsafe blocking material
Outer zippered coin pocket (great for coin Euros)
Detachable strap
Passport sleeve can hold multiple passports
Cons:
Awkward to open when worn across the chest
While many are partial to Fjallraven passport wallets—we like them, too—the
PacSafe travel wallet with RIFDsafe goes a step further, keeping credit cards,
sensitive documents, and data protected from any electronic-scanning theft
attempts.
6. The inside of the PacSafe V150 has a passport slot, multiple credit card slots, a
small zippered pouch, and a large section for paper currency and other
documents. On the outside is a zippered coin pocket so you can fish out change
without opening the whole wallet. The heavy-duty exterior zipper that encloses the
entire wallet is durable and holds up to repeated overstuffing.
The Pacsafe RFIDsafe V150’s larger size allows you to fit a smartphone inside (so
long as it’s not bigger than 6.5 inches tall) by simply placing it in the middle,
folding, and zipping. It’s great for when you’re just going out to eat and don’t want
to carry a bigger bag, or you’re wearing something with a glaring lack of
appropriately sized pockets.
That said, because of its size, the V150 forces you to live the “travel wallet
lifestyle,” with your money strapped to your chest. Unzipping the outer zip and
fishing out what you need while wearing the PacSafe can result in some awkward
maneuvering and things unsecured inside falling out so be cautious when
performing that trick.
Best travel accessory for long flights: Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless
Noise-Canceling Over-Ear Headphones
Why it made the cut: The Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling headphones allow
you to sleep, listen to music, or watch whatever you want in comfort and relative
peace.
Specs:
7. Weight: 9 ounces
Dimensions: 7.27 x 3.03 x 9.04 inches
Price: $298.00 – $349.00
Pros:
Comfortable
Long, 30 hour battery life
Intuitive touch sensor controls
Multiple device pairing
Cons:
Earcup cover material wears over time
Having spent the pandemic spring and summer of 2020 living in a New York City
apartment next door to a building undergoing a gut renovation (the entire time), I
can attest that Sony’s WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling wireless headphones not
8. only effectively drown out annoying background noise, but are also comfortable
enough to wear all day without becoming excessively warm.
A great Bluetooth headphone that multiple folks at PopSci cosign, the
WH-1000XM4 comes with a case, wired headphone jack, and an adaptor so you
can plug into the dual-pronged jack standard in most airplanes. The touch sensors
on each ear cup allow you to skip tracks, adjust the volume, and answer phone
calls. The Sony headphone companion app lets you personalize your settings and
helps connect multiple devices.
If you have trouble sleeping in hotels with hallway or street noise, these
headphones will successfully mask a lot, especially when coupled with a white
noise app. The padded headband and ear cups even make it possible to sleep on
your side with them on—though that does require positioning your pillow at just the
right angle.
Best neck pillow: Cabeau Evolution S3 Neck Pillow
Why it made the cut: Made with memory foam, this travel pillow has straps to
secure it to the back of any seat as well as an adjustable clasp for chin support
and raised sides that help prevent your head from bobbing and rolling.
Specs:
9. Weight: 11.6 ounces
Dimensions: 9.5 x 10 x 5 inches
Price: $39.99
Pros:
Has a washable cover
Has a flattened back that doesn’t push your head forward
Comes with a stuff sack that allows you to compress the pillow to half its size
Strap system to attach to any chair
Cons:
One-size-fits-all seat attachment strap may not work for shorter people
Along with a pair of noise-canceling headphones, a quality neck pillow is one of
the best air travel accessories you can buy. Conveniently, if you arrive at the
airport and discover you’ve forgotten yours—or if you don’t own one—neck pillows,
10. including the Cabeau Evolution S3, are sold in shops in almost every airport
terminal. I personally own three of them, all of which were purchased at an airport.
The memory foam in the Cabeau pillows provides the most comfort a person can
achieve while sleeping sitting up. The flat back and raised sides ensure that your
head won’t roll into some odd position that will result in annoying neck pain upon
waking.
The strap that attaches to the seatback is a useful feature as it keeps your head
from falling too far forward while you snooze. Shorter people may find the straps
aren’t a sufficient length to reach their head and shoulders when looped around
the seatback but we’ve found the Evolution to be quite comfortable and stable
even without using this particular feature.
Best power bank: Anker PowerCore 26800 Portable Charger, 26800mAh
Why it made the cut: The 26800 mAh of power charges most phones six times,
which is likely enough to get you through a full week without access to actual
electricity.
Specs:
Weight: 1.1 pounds
11. Dimensions: 7.09 x 3.21 x 0.87 inches
Price: $69.99
Pros:
Three USB ports to charge multiple devices at a time
Fast charging of devices
Quick recharging in six hours
Cons:
Wall charger not included
During a five-month bicycle odyssey from Beijing to Istanbul, which included
seven-to-10 days at a time without electricity, the Anker PowerCore 26800 was my
portable charger of choice. Those who didn’t show up for the trip with a power
bank to keep their phones charged scoured the markets on the way until they
found one. Many that brought one had to buy a second. Mine got me through the
whole trip, successfully keeping my phone and bike GPS charged between hotel
stops.
12. It’s especially helpful that this portable charger can recharge faster if you plug in
with multiple cables at once. You can fully recharge this beefy power bank in about
six hours, which is handy if you’re somewhere the outlet-to-human ratio is
something like 1:12.
Best travel adapter: Epicka All-in-One Worldwide Wall Charger
Why it made the cut: In the digital age, every globetrotter needs a multifunctional
travel adapter that can be converted to EU-, UK-, AU-, and US-type plugs.
Specs:
Weight: 5.5 ounces
Dimensions: 2.8 x 1.97 x 2.05 inches
Price: $22.99
Pros:
Four USB ports and 1 Type-C port
Internal spike and surge protector
13. Fits outlets in over 150 countries
Cons:
Doesn’t convert voltage
Doesn’t support Type D, H, or M (South Africa, India, Israel)
We like cleverly designed things that are useful in multiple places and
environments. The Epicka worldwide wall charger is one of those things. With a
series of buttons and slides, the Epicka transforms into various plug formations so
you can use it in different countries. With four USB ports and one C-type port, you
can charge your phone, Kindle, GPS device, noise-canceling headphones, and
computer all at the same time from a single outlet.
Best travel accessory (for anywhere): CamelBak Podium Chill Insulated Water
Bottle 21 oz.
Why it made the cut: A reusable water bottle means you don’t have to purchase
the high-priced bottles of water at the airport and an insulated bottle keeps your
beverages cold (and hot) longer.
Specs:
14. Weight: 3.5 ounces
Dimensions: 2.9 x 9.4 inches
Price: $15.00 – $16.00
Pros:
Double-wall construction keeps beverages cold longer
Made with BPA-, BPS-, and BPF-free polypropylene so doesn’t taste like plastic
Self-sealing cap
Lock-out feature to prevent leaks
Cons:
Only comes in 21oz and 24oz sizes
Reusable water bottles are Earth-friendly, sustainable, and mean that you never
have to pay $4 for a bottle of water in the airport again. Many airports these days
15. have dedicated fountains to fill your bottle, usually right next to (or part of) the
standard drinking fountains near the restrooms.
Remember that you won’t be able to take a bottle with water in it through security.
Once inside the airport, you’ll be able to fill it up and, in most instances, bring it on
board. If you’re flying to the United States through a major international hub like
Doha or Dubai, you’ll have to empty it before passing through security to the gate.
There’s always a drinking fountain on the other side where you can fill back up,
though.
This Camelbak water bottle doesn’t taste like plastic, even when brand new, and
has a self-sealing jet valve. To drink, simply squeeze the bottle. The drinking valve
swivels to a lock position so you can throw the bottle in your bag and shove it
under the seat in front of you without worrying about leakage.
At your destination, the Camelbak Insulated water bottle is perfect for hiking,
cycling (it fits into most bicycle water bottle cages), or exploring. While most places
have drinkable tap water, remember that there are still some countries that do not.
Best travel organizer: Osprey Ultralight Zip Travel Organizer
Why it made the cut: With numerous zippered storage pockets and a hanging
hook, the Osprey Ultralight Zip Travel Organizer is great for small toiletries, a first
aid kit, and/or your backpacking kitchen set up.
16. Specs:
Weight: 4.2 ounces
Dimensions: 6 x 9 x 3 inches
Price: $35.00
Pros:
Made from a stretchy, light material so you can pack for a variety of trips
Durable enough to withstand the tendencies of a chronic over stuffer
Available in colors other than black or gray
Has a removable see-through pouch
Cons:
Doesn’t have an easy clip or its own strap
17. The Osprey Ultralight Zip Travel Organizer ticks all of the best travel product
boxes: It can be used for your toiletries, a first aid/medicine kit, or a snack/utensil
storage kit, so it’s versatile. Its strong zippers and stretch mesh fabric on one side
allow for expanded capacity when needed without breaking or ripping, so it’s
durable. At 4.2 ounces, it’s very lightweight. And its many zippered storage
compartments plus a removable clear inner pouch are thoughtfully designed for
travelers.
We also love that this travel organizer comes in orange (both an attractive and
useful color), which makes it easy to locate when digging through a backpack or
suitcase.
Best travel suitcase: Osprey Sojourn 45L 22”
Why it made the cut: The Osprey Sojourn 45L fits most airline carry-on
specifications, features sturdy wheels, and can also be converted to a backpack
when needed.
Specs:
Weight: 8 pounds
Dimensions: 22 x 14 x 9 inches
18. Price: $320.00
Pros:
Osprey Daylite pack can be attached for additional capacity
Padded air mesh hip belt and backpack mechanism are both quick deploying and
removable
Internal compression straps
Chassis and wheels roll exceptionally well on cobbled roads and sidewalks
Cons:
Bag is on the heavy side on its own.
Like all things Osprey manufactures, the Sojourn 45L is an extremely durable bag
with zippers that will withstand excessive over-stuffing—which, as far as I am
concerned, is the true test of any backpack or suitcase.
The wheels and high chassis allow the Sojourn to happily thumpity-thump over
cobbled roads and uneven terrain. If the path becomes particularly roll-adverse,
19. you can easily transform the Sojourn into a fairly comfortable backpack. We
wouldn’t recommend any kind of hiking with the Sojourn in backpack mode, but it
is sufficiently doable for shorter distances—such as navigating through a place like
the medina of Chefchaouen, Morocco, where there are too many stairs.
The hip belt and backpack mechanism take up space inside the bag but you can
still fit enough gear and clothing for an extended trip if you are a light packer. You
can also easily attach a Daylite backpack to the front via clips for added capacity if
needed.
Best day bag: Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole Tote Pack 27L
Why it made the cut: The Patagonia Black Hole works as a tote or a backpack,
and is well-suited for sightseeing, shopping, or your daily commute.
Specs:
Weight: 13 ounces
Dimensions: 15.5 x 10 x 8 inches
Price: $89.00
Pros:
20. Lightweight.
Foldable and easy to store when empty
Surprisingly comfortable as a backpack
Versatile
Cons:
No cinch cords on the side mesh pockets
As a New Yorker and frequent traveler, I believe in having an extra bag on me at
all times. You never know when you’re going to need to haul something
somewhere. The Patagonia Black Hole tote makes an excellent shopping bag,
which you may need in a city where stores don’t offer plastic bags. It also easily
fits most laptops so if you’re on a business trip it’s a great way to carry your laptop
to your meetings. It also converts to a backpack, which is comfortable enough for a
day of sightseeing. In short, it’s an incredibly useful thing at home or abroad.
FAQs Q: How do you make traveling easier?
You can make travel easier (and less stressful) by being prepared and organized,
especially when it comes to packing and ensuring that you’ll be able to charge
21. your devices when needed. While it’s true that people used to be able to somehow
navigate the world before smartphones and GPS devices both of things make
traveling so much easier—even if it’s just to make sure that the taxi you just got in
is taking you to where you want to go.
Q: How much do travel accessories cost?
There are a lot of different kinds of travel accessories, so the prices will vary a lot
depending on what you’re looking for. Some things, like wall chargers and neck
pillows, can cost $20 to $50. Larger items, like suitcases and bags, can get much
more expensive because they’re manufactured with materials that will hold up
through rough handling and environments.
In general, we strongly advise avoiding the cheapest possible version of a travel
accessory. I don’t want to buy something that breaks and needs to be replaced,
especially mid-trip. In my experience, paying a little more for higher quality means I
won’t have to purchase that same thing again when it inevitably breaks.
Q: What accessories do you need to travel?
Honestly, the only accessories you absolutely need to travel are a valid passport
and a credit card with available credit. Everything else is gravy. But who doesn’t
like gravy?
Q: Where can I buy travel accessories?
22. You can buy travel accessories online. Websites such as Amazon, REI, and
Backcountry carry products from a variety of brands. You can also shop for
last-minute or forgotten travel gadgets and products in airport shops—though they
are almost always much more expensive there.
Final thoughts on the best travel accessories
Having the ability and the choice to travel to new places is a wonderful privilege. I
feel infinitely lucky to have been able to see as much of the world as I have.
Inventors and manufacturers are always thinking up new and interesting gadgets
and gear to make travel easier. Hopefully, these tools and tips will help you get out
there and have some amazing adventures too.

The 8 Best Travel Cord Organizers To Keep Your Tech
Accessories Tidy

You know the drill: No matter how neatly you fold up your earbuds, their cords
somehow transform into a labyrinth-like puzzle by the time you need to retrieve
them. This is where the best travel cord organizers come in handy, organizing
everything from earbuds to laptop chargers, wherever you might be headed. A
good cable organizer will not only keep your cords from becoming an inconvenient
jumbled mess but also keep them safe and secure. Many travel cord organizers
can even protect your cords from water damage.
When looking for the ultimate cord organizer, the primary thing to consider is your
specific travel routine. Do you fly frequently, with various cords in your carry-on
bag? A larger organizer, maybe even one with extra pockets for small gadgets,
would be helpful. Or, do you just have a few tech accessories — say, a laptop
charger and a pair of headphones — getting in your way at work, or that you want
to safely store in your commuter backpack? If so, there are simple, clever solutions
like travel-friendly cable clips and ties that can make a world of difference on your
desk and in your bag.
The best travel organizers will keep all your cords, earbuds, and chargers neatly
tucked away yet easy to access when you need them.
1 A Multi-Functional, Water-Repellant Cable Case With Tons Of Pockets
24. This durable yet lightweight cord organizer opens up to a single-layer interior with
a plethora of elastic bands, mesh pockets, and zippered pockets, giving you space
for cords, memory cards, small gadgets, cell phones, earbuds, and whatever else
you need to neatly put away. It has a heavy-duty nylon exterior, keeping your
electronics safe from spills, leaks, and bad weather.
Promising Amazon review: “Great product. Before I bought this I had cables all
over the house and me and my husband were always looking for the cables
without being able to easily find them. Now that they are all in this case we can
find them easily and stress less. Especially nice if you are traveling. Nice and
compact but lots of space for many cables. Highly recommend”
2 A Durable Travel Cord Organizer That Fits In The Palm Of Your Hand
This wallet-sized organizer has a zippered mesh pocket to store earbuds, USB
cables, and memory cards, as well as a separate compartment with a large elastic
strap, ideal for a power bank or other device. When zippered close, this case was
designed to take a beating and keep your electronics safe, thanks to its
shock-proof EVA shell. It also protects against water, sweat, and other spills.
Choose among 10 colors.
Promising Amazon review: “Perfect size to store a portable charger, a usb cord,
air-buds - everything I need in case my phone needs a charge. Also use this for
travel (I even keep the charging cube in this case) to keep everything together. It’s
a great size, fits in my purse. The zipper is sturdy. I plan to buy more as gifts for
my kids who travel.”
25. 3 A Compact Travel Cord Organizer That’s Surprisingly Roomy
This cable organizer bag is relatively compact in size and weighs just 0.24 pound,
but the interior is roomy enough to neatly store all your electronics. It features
several elastic loops for cables; two loops for larger devices, like a mouse or
phone bank; and both elasticized and zippered mesh compartments. The exterior
is made of water-resistant nylon, which is padded to keep your electronics safe
from jostling inside your bag.
Promising Amazon review: “I travel quite a bit, and have tried a variety of cable
organizers. This one is just right for me, with room for all cables, chargers, and a
battery. And it is compact and fits in my backpack.”
4 A Foldable Charger Cord Holder That Locks Everything In Place
If you’re looking for maximum storage but minimum bulk, look no further than this
heavy-duty nylon cable bag. It’s versatile, protective, and reasonably priced. When
open, it expands to roughly 9 by 8 inches, with an assortment of elastic bands,
mesh pockets, and zippered mesh pockets to keep all your cords, memory cards,
and small gadgets in place. Then, it rolls up neatly and fastens shut, allowing you
to stash it in your purse or backpack. With a 4.6-star rating on Amazon and more
than 2,300 customer ratings and reviews, this is one cord organizer that makes it
way easier to travel with your fave tech.
26. Promising Amazon review: “Bought this to take all needed cords and plugs when
we travel. Everything fits in there neatly so nothing gets tangled or mixed up. Folds
up so it stores nicely in my backpack or carry on if we are flying.”
5 These Reusable Cable Ties That Reviewers Swear By
If you’re looking for a simple, no-fuss solution to your tangle-prone cords, consider
these cord ties. They feature a hook-and-loop design that makes them super easy
to reuse. And with a 4.6-star overall rating amassed through over 13,400 ratings,
they’re a fan-favorite. The order comes with 20 multicolored ties in three sizes
(varying in both length and width), so you can roll thinner wires, like earphone
cables, into tidy, packable packages; as well as get a handle on thicker cords or
bundles.
Promising Amazon review: “These are very easy to use and you can’t lose them or
break them like rubber bands. Just attach one end to the cord and it is always
there when needed. Just took a trip and I have 5 cords that I take for charging my
electronics. Used the smallest Tie and it saved time searching for the rubber
bands that always somehow get lost. Take up practically no room.”
6 A Weighted Desktop Organizer That Keeps Cables In Place
This weighted desktop cord organizer is ideal for use on tabletops, desktops, and
nightstands to keep your various laptop and other tech cords in check. Its rubber
design prevents cords from falling to the floor, which means you’ll never again
27. have to crawl under your home or hotel desk to retrieve a fallen charger. And
unlike similar desktop cable organizers, it doesn’t have any adhesive — instead,
the weighted bottom keeps it in place. It includes four slots for your smartphone
charging cables, USB printer cords, twisted headphone cords, and other wires.
Promising Amazon review: “Completely solved my bed-side cable problems. All
cables now stay put neatly and conveniently on my bedside table. I especially like
the fact that I don't have to stick it down permanently. This way I can change its
location as needed or take it with me when traveling.”
7 A Strappy Travel Organizer For Cords & Chargers
This electronics organizer measures about 12 by 8 inches, making it the ideal size
to slip into a backpack, briefcase, or large tote. Its criss-cross design of rubber
elastic bands allows you to safely strap down countless cords, as well as small
devices and writing utensils. That means you now have a place to securely store
everything from your go-to tube of lipstick to your phone. And since the elastic
straps have good grip, your cords and gadgets aren’t going anywhere. It also has
a large, zippered pocket on the back for documents, tablets and small notebooks.
Promising Amazon review: “I’m a technician and I travel a lot through the country. I
have the tendency of carrying more than what I need, afraid of not being prepared
if the worst happens. For a very long time, I've been needing something to
organize all the cables, USBs, and other stuff that I carry in my backpack. This
organizer has cleared a lot of space and my bag doesn’t feel as heavy as before
because it uses space inside my bag evenly. I’m so happy with this product!”
28. 8 An Oprah-Approved Travel Cord Organizer That Folds Into A Stylish Clutch
This travel cord roll is the perfect blend of style and utility. It holds eight cords, two
plugs, and a few more various knick knacks (like earbuds, adapters, and writing
utensils) safely with a combination of straps and pockets. The compact storage
unit then rolls up into its clutch form that can be tied securely closed with a thin
cord. Best of all, it’s made entirely out of vegan leather and comes in multiple
colors. Even Oprah is a fan!
Promising Amazon review: “I love this product! Presently traveling and it is making
my life much easier! Seems strong and durable so far and is easy to find in my
backpack. Love it!”

Let’s clear the air: Being cheap is not a bad thing, and it also doesn’t mean you
can’t find expensive-looking items and gadgets that make your home feel super
bougie. It’s actually the opposite, thanks to Amazon. So, if you’re cheap but like

warmer for $12 that’s super sleek and has an extra-long cord to reach your favorite
cozy coffee spot. There’s also a rose quartz facial roller and gua sha set for only

$25 (and super bougie).
I’ve even found all of your new favorite getting-ready night-out essentials, including

2 A 20-Pack Of Luxurious Eye Masks With 24-Karat Gold
