Portable Door Locks
Pros: These easy to use door locks are perfect for on the go security. It’s conveniently small but will hold your door shut firmly. It provides a peace of mind without the need of screws or nails and in case of an emergency you could remove the lock in seconds while still being in the dark. This is the perfect gift for those who travel, stay in dorm rooms, hotels, or cabins.
Cons: We found out that they don’t fit every door to hotel rooms, however for Airbnb, college dorms, or cabin rooms this is an easy solution to make sure unwanted guest stay out your room. They also have door jammers, and door stoppers for dependable security.
3-in-1 Retractable Chair
Pros: These amazing chairs came in handy for us at the beach, park, football tailgating, golfing, and waiting 2 hours in line to board our flight at the airport. Everyone always says how smart we are for bringing them with us. This bundle comes with a detachable cup holder and a cushion. They are light and don’t take up space at all. Just open the bag, pop your seat open, and twist for an instant chair or stool to enjoy. Your feet will thank you. There are also new versions of pop up tables with cup holders and adjustable leg rest.
Cons: This chair is made of tough plastic so it may break if you are not sitting on it correctly.
Portable Electric Kettle
Pros: Do you know how many times the coffee machine is cleaned and sanitized in a hotel room? Not as much as you think. This 700ML electric kettle can heat water in within 5 minutes. You can even make your noodles in it for a quick snack, or dinner on the go. This is also perfect for small spaces like dorm rooms, camping trips, hotels, and cabins.
Cons: This kettle can get very hot. Make sure to only grab the kettle by its handle to prevent accidents.
Compact Oversize Umbrella
Pros: It rains everyday in hot Florida and everyday people forget to bring their fans or umbrella to the parks. When opened, this 62″ umbrella can fit 3 adults underneath without stepping on each other comfortably. When it’s closed you can easily fit it in a small bag. Unlike other large umbrellas this one is also lightweight. So upgrade your umbrellas.
Multi-Use Portable Steamer
Pros: Ready in 25 seconds, this portable steamer can continuously give you 10 minutes of soothing steam to gently iron all your clothes, drapery, bedding, and more. Having a portable personal steamer lets you have access to the perfect iron when it’s needed most.
Cons: Bring this on with your carry on luggage to avoid being taken during cruise traveling. The steam gets very hot so be careful when the steamer is in use. The alternative would be a good wrinkle release.
Portable Espresso Maker
Pros: For all our coffee enthusiast, you can now have an espresso anywhere in the world as long as you can boil some hot water. Simple to use, cleanup up is easy, and no battery or electricity is needed, because this espresso maker helps you pump 18 bars of pressure (261 PSI) for the best coffee extraction you can get anywhere you travel.
Cons: Is not automatic, the portion size is enough for 1-2 espressos before you have to refill the container again, or you could get the double espresso separately.
Portable Cereal Cup
Pros: Late for school or work? This is the perfect companion for any student, parent, business professional or lazy people that just want to take their cereal to go. No spoon? No Problems. You can drink and eat your cereal in one hand on the go without ever having to use a spoon to eat cereal again.
Cons: The only con we found was that cover caps are bought separately. Enjoy your utensil free cereal cup.
Collapsible Silicone Bowls, with lids
Pros: We take these bowls with us while we cruise. That way we can bring as many yummy snacks to our room for late night cravings. These bowls are collapsible so they fit in small spaces when you don’t need them. They can also be used in everyday life for lunch boxes, picnics, camping, and so much more.
Cons: Not many color or size selections to choose from. There are plenty to choose from on Amazon though.
4 in 1 Wireless Charging Station
Pros: You only need one plug for this folding charging station. If you have the setup (smartphone, smart watch, and earbuds) then we highly recommenced upgrading to a charging station for traveling or just to have at home. You can’t always trust that convenient plug in the lamp of the hotel. Here you just have to bring one plug for all you devices. There’s even a nightlight and and extra USB port out for additional charging. Anker a well known charging company also has a version but not night light feature.
Toiletry Bag with Hanging Hook
Cons: Can’t over fill it or it won’t close properly.
Electric Air Pump
Pros: Save your lungs and get rid of bad experiences with the latest air pump that has a built-in battery so your not tied to any cords. This air pump can inflate and deflate. It’s perfect for camping trips that need air mattresses filled or take it with you at the beach for small or large inflatables.
Cons: Is not waterproof so, you may have to bring a waterproof bag if you’re bringing it to the beach for inflatables.
Cryotex Massage Gun
Pros: This is your sign to upgrade your old plug in the wall massager. You don’t have to be stuck by an outlet anymore. Instantly have a deep tissue massage anywhere you go. Traveling, and everyday life can be hard on our muscles and this really gives them a relief while promoting muscle repair.
Cons: Some attachable pieces are not soft. So use the correct piece for the correct body part. Also, don’t put you finger between the motor and assembly piece, if you don’t want to get pinched.
2-Pack Flat Sheets
Pros: For those who have sensitive skin it’s always a must to bring your own sheets when traveling. Sometimes those harsh laundry detergents really irritate our skin causing breakouts and rash among other things. That’s why these are perfect for traveling to make sure your trip is comfortable without waking up to irritating skin from hotel, or cruise cabin bed sheets. The sheets don’t have to be white so you can also tell which sheets are yours so make it a fun color to go with your trip.
Cons: We didn’t have any cons for these great sheets. Wash them thoroughly before use to test your detergent.
Pros: Don’t let this speaker pass you by. This speaker can survive submersion of water, displays colorful lights you can control and has an extras BASS button for a real party at the beach, camping, at the park, and anywhere you go. Take it with you everywhere for an amazing well-balanced sound with virtually no distortion.
Cons: You can’t change the volume of the connector voice. So if you are in a quiet place people will know you’re trying to connect to your Bluetooth speaker.
Pros: We’ve all been there when you didn’t bring enough clean clothes for your trip. With the help of this wash bag you can wash your clothes with out a machine and without hurting your hands scrubbing clothes together for hours.
Cons: The only con we saw was the price, there are smaller wash bags that also provide a great cleaning.

The additional bed sheets was a great idea and came in handy for my son’s sensitive skin. Now we can enjoy all days of our trip without his skin being irritated and breaking out in a rash. So Thanks for sharing that tip.
We love using our portable kettle and we take it everywhere. It’s great for hotel stays that have dirty coffee pots, and camping trip for quick access tea, noodles, soup. I just bought one for my daughter who is a big nature enthusiast, and she loves it.
