Another year, another reminder to please try to be thoughtful in your purchases, and to please not just buy because things simply because they’re on sale. 🙂 Like many of you, we try to focus on experiences over things, and these are some of the items that we’ve used over and over that have helped make those experiences easier and more fun. I hope these family travel items are useful, durable, and stand the test of time for you as they have for us!

Travel Prime Day Deals 2025
Here are a ton of great deals on items we use and love – hope you can save some money while addressing a need. These are all perfect for an upcoming trip, to save for winter holiday gifts, to add to a friend birthday gift bin (I hate having to run out and grab a gift at the last minute!), or to hold onto for a special summer day.
Travel Items
- BEST Travel Blanket – my very favorite super packable travel blanket that snaps in the back (so it stays on hands free!) is up to 50% off and my code PASSPORT stacks (small business!)
- Mini white noise machine – my favorite tiny white noise device that’s amazing for travel! We own four and use them daily at home and always pack them to travel even if we’re only taking backpacks – helps kids settle down and drown out other noise. Lowest price I’ve seen in ages!
- BEST travel sleep pillow – I slept for 7.5 hours straight with this on
- Ring cap markers – we’ve been obsessed with these all year – the caps are attached to a ring so they don’t get lost and can’t roll away!
- 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, and I’m planning to purchase this one that also charges a watch
- Quick dry beach towel – we love these lightweight and quick drying towels for summer beach trips – also don’t hold onto sand!! (code PREETHI for 35% off)
- 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 and this is a smoking deal on it. Dan also owns and loves the men’s version, and I also have and love their rain trousers (also pack down super small and are very waterproof).
- FAVORITE travel pants – I’ve worn these on literally every trip for 4 years. Lightweight, super comfy, dry in a flash, dress up or down. The best. On huge sale!!
- AirFly – my fave device for being able to listen to an airplane movie with my own wireless headphones. Makes a terrific gift.
- No Eye Pressure Sleep Mask – Dan swears by these and sleeps with them at home and when traveling
- Tiny compressed facial sponges – I absolutely love these for washing my face when traveling. They pack so small (I just grab the correct number and pop them in my makeup case) and work so well – I love that they’re gently exfoliating and keep my skin clear when on the go.
- 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.
- Hanging Toiletries Bag – love containing everyone’s toiletries, and we have another that is the very best way to organize kid travel activities
- 4-pack of AirTag holders – we use these all the time for our AirTags

- Folding 3-in-1 Travel Charging Dock – I love taking this along to charge my phone, AirPods, and watch all in one spot
- Menstrual cup – look, this might be my favorite travel item. Makes traveling while on your period (or just day to day) SO MUCH BETTER.
- Cincha Luggage Strap – super helpful for keeping a bag secured to your luggage
- Anker Earbuds – I got this cheap pair of earbuds after I unfortunately lost my AirPods and was shocked at how good they are. Super comfy, great sound quality, have a little strap on the case so I’m less likely to lose them lol, and under $20.
- 3 FREE months of Audible – great for adults and kids alike
Road Trip
- Portable Jump Starter – So glad this is on sale!! 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. 105k positive reviews don’t lie. This one also
- Digital Tire Pressure Gauge – keep one of these in the glove box!
Children’s Items
- Bubblebum Inflatable Booster – this is super convenient and lightweight and perfect to keep kiddos safe in the car when traveling. Really good deal.
- Inflatable toddler bed – we got 2 of these and they’ve been so helpful when we have guests and for big road trips. We use it a ton when we need an extra bed (currently using it right now for M while my mom is with us!).
- 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.
- 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

- 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

- Madewell up to 70% off sale
- Fave swim cover up that doubles as a top when traveling
- Modest bikini – this is my favorite mom swimsuit – two-piece for convenience (and easier to pack) but still really good coverage
