Traveling can be a real pain. Delayed flights, unpredictable TSA security measures, and jet lag are just a few reasons the trip of a lifetime can take a sour turn. One thing we do have control over, however, is our travel gear. Call it a desire for control amid the chaos or simply a love for the finer things, but we’ll take any accessory that’s stylish, functional, and makes life easier. Enter the new Popsugar travel accessories collection, available exclusively at Walmart.
Available now, the lineup features all the essentials that, once you have them, you’ll wonder how you ever traveled without; that’ll become as crucial to your next packing sesh as your carry-on luggage is for a quick trip and your noise-canceling headphones are for a long flight. At the top of my (slightly biased but well-traveled) lineup: the Popsugar Passport Holder ($18), that fits everything: your passport, ID, credit cards, Chase Sapphire Reserve membership (if you’re as lounge-obsessed as I am – not sponsored, just a fan), and even cash, so you don’t have to lug around a separate wallet.
Other standouts in the colorful collection include the Hanging Travel Toiletry Bag ($20), which lets you stash all your essentials in one place and hang it up with the built-in hook to save precious counter space (and, consequently, mental space when your setup looks less chaotic). While you’re at it, you can fill it with the Travel Bottles Set ($16) – made of soft, squeezable silicone – perfect for anyone who prefers to bring their own products on the go. (I get it.) On the topic of staying organized, the Packing Cubes Set ($25) is just as covetable. It comes with large and medium cubes, plus a cosmetic bag and a drawstring laundry or shoe bag that can double as storage for just about anything.
In the rare case you’re still with me and haven’t skipped ahead to shop the products (no judgment, TBH), I’m rounding out this list with the less “sexy” travel essentials we zhuzhed up, because everything you own deserves to be as fun to look at as it is functional. Case in point: the Travel Pill Organizer ($12), complete with customizable labels you can mark by date, time, or both, depending on your needs. And let’s not forget the TSA Locks ($22). which come in a set of two and are genuinely the prettiest ones I’ve ever seen.
And, according to the reviewers, I saved the best for last. The Travel Neck Pillow ($20) has already earned plenty of praise from Walmart shoppers, who call it “the BEST.” It’s made of bouncy, supportive memory foam and even has a washable cover – because when you’re traveling, that feels essential, doesn’t it? That, and everything on this list, TBH.
