Another year, another reminder to please try to be thoughtful in your purchases and not just buy because things are on sale! Like many of you, we try to focus on experiences over things, but there are certain items that have helped make those experiences easier and more fun over the years. These are things that are useful, durable, and stand the test of time when it comes to family travel.
I’d always prefer to get them on sale when possible, so I’m sharing in case it helps save you some time and money, and make it easier for you to enjoy some amazing family adventures, too!
Travel Prime Day Deals 2025
Here are a ton of really good deals on items we use and love – I hope it saves you some money while addressing a need. They’re perfect for an upcoming trip, to save for winter holiday gifts, adding to a friend birthday gift bin (I hate having to run out for a gift last minute!), or holding onto for a special summer day.
Travel Items
- Universal Travel Adapter – A must if you travel internationally – we have several we always take. Love that this one has USB & USB-C ports, too. THIS is the one we usually take for our whole family, while I like THIS one when by myself or with a kid or two because it’s smaller.
- Mini white noise machine – my favorite tiny white noise device that’s amazing for travel! We also have and really like this one that’s just a couple dollars more. We own two of each kind and use them daily at home and when traveling. I gifted this at a favorite things party and it was a big hit!
- BEST travel sleep pillow – I slept for 7.5 hours straight with this on
- Mini portable charger – super small and lightweight and plugs directly into phone without a cord (this one is my favorite because the plug folds in and it charges really quickly, but there’s also this 2 pack for iPhones before 15, iPhone 15 / android mini portable charger)
- Lightweight expandable suitcase – durable and doesn’t use up a ton of weight for the suitcase itself.
- Packable waterproof rain jacket – honestly the best affordable rain jacket out there. Very nearly as waterproof as my expensive one and packs into it’s own stuff sack. It’s absolutely fantastic.
- AirFly – my fave device for being able to listen to an airplane movie with my own wireless headphones. Makes a terrific gift.
- Hanging Toiletries Bag – love containing everyone’s toiletries, and we have another that is the very best way to organize kid travel activities
- Magnetic phone ring holder – helps me drop my phone less 😉
- 4-pack of AirTag holders – we use these all the time for our AirTags
- No Eye Pressure Sleep Mask – Dan swears by these and sleeps with them at home and when traveling
- Folding 3-in-1 Travel Charging Dock – I love taking this along to charge my phone, AirPods, and watch all in one spot
- Cincha Luggage Strap – super helpful for keeping a bag secured to your luggage
- Raycon Earbuds – these are super affordable and high quality and what I chose when I unfortunately lost my AirPods. They’ve been just as good and comfy, and have a way longer battery life. 30% off!
- 3 FREE months of Audible – great for adults and kids alike
Road Trip
- Portable Jump Starter – an absolute must for every single car, especially if you’ll be on a road trip (but we keep one in ours for everyday). So helpful in an emergency.
- Portable Tire Inflator / Air Compressor – amazing deal on this one that we love and that has saved us more than once when we’ve had a flat on the road. 88k positive reviews don’t lie.
- Digital Tire Pressure Gauge – keep one of these in the glove box!
Children’s Items
- Boba Air lightweight baby carrier – our favorite travel carrier – weighs less than a pound and folds up into a small pouch
- Car seat luggage strap – This strap is so simple but amazing for attaching your car seat to a suitcase to make it easy to get it through the airport
- Bubblebum Inflatable Booster – this is super convenient and lightweight and perfect to keep kiddos safe in the car when traveling. Really good deal.
- Kids Kindle – An absolute MUST for us, both at home and while traveling. The Kids version is the exact same as the regular version but comes with a case and Kindle Unlimited.
- Our favorite hypoallergenic medical-grade wound spray
- Yoto Mini – absolutely love this little audiobook player at home & especially when traveling. Comes with a starter pack of cards. (You can also purchase directly from the Yoto website where they’re matching the discount.)
- Visual timer – We use these all the time for music practice, clean up, screens, and more.
- Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza – One of our VERY favorite family games and perfect for travel. Says ages 8+ but we’ve had kids as young as 3 play and enjoy it.
- LCD Drawing Tablet – These are so great for travel – my kids use them constantly. Under $3 each – grab extra for gifts!
- Soft toddler headphones – comfy and stay on
- Mini magnetic tiles – we love the regular version at home, and the minis are perfect for travel. Great deal and would make a perfect gift.
- Door Stop Alarm – we once had a toddler manage to get out of a hotel room in the wee hours of the morning. Fortunately, everything was fine, but having one of these is a very good idea.
Outdoor Gear
- Ultralight camping shovel
- Dan’s Favorite Sun Hat at stocking stuffer price
- Headlamps – absolutely wild deal and always a good idea to have a few of these on hand
- Portable soap sheets – super convenient for travel or when outside
- Laundry detergent sheets – perfect to take along when traveling
Women’s Skincare & Fashion
- Favorite eyelash serum (code PREETHI15)
- Favorite no-show socks that DO NOT slip down
- Favorite lightweight foundation – smoking deal on this
- My absolute favorite shampoo
- The combination of these gel heel socks and this heel cream saved my heels that were cracked and bleeding
- Laniege lip mask – I’ve used it for years and it really is terrific
- Dime clean skincare – I’m a massive Dime fan and this is a crazy deal on some of my favorite skincare items. I use the ones I’m listing every single day
- Hyaluronic acid serum – I put this on before my moisturizer in the morning
- Dewy Day Cream – this is the moisturizer I use every morning
- Blue Facial Oil – if you’ve been around for more than a day or two, you’ve probably heard me sing the praises of this magic facial oil. I use it at night after my moisturizer and it keeps blemishes at bay and immediately heals ones that are starting to pop up.
- Madewell up to 70% off sale
- Half-sleeve midi dress – such a great basic dress that I’ve owned and loved for years
- Fave swim cover up that doubles as a top when traveling
- The maternity swimsuit I LOVED
Home
- BEST pillow in all the land – I seriously love this thing so much. I’ve had mine for years and brought it with me to London because it’s just that good. Truly life changing.
- Fave multipurpose scissors
- BEST vacuum. Bought a 220V version here in the UK. None better, I will die on this hill.
- Splendor – amazing price on my favorite game of all time
- Nesting glass food storage containers – we’ve LOVED these and have switched over most of ours
- Absolutely adore our little frother
- Bentgo stainless steel leak-proof lunchbox – these are our faves and we even brought them to London with us
