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!

Here are a few deals from other places this week!

Prime Big Deal 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.

Things I Personally Bought

  • Toothbrush Covers – we need some fresh ones of these toothbrush covers
  • Foil craft – We gave this set to M for Christmas last year and it was a huge hit with her and her friends. We’ve gotten another set since and it’s been just as fun – and last for ages of craft-making. I’m grabbing a few more sets to stock up for birthday gifts.
  • Shashibo cube – my kids got this a few years ago and played with it ALL the time. It’s strangely soothing! Ours sadly got accidentally broken recently by a visiting friend so I’m grabbing another one.
  • Wool socks – My favorite winter socks! Honestly have lasted as long and maybe even more comfy than my expensive brand name wool socks (they’re stretchier and softer). A couple of my kids also use and love them. Great stocking stuffer and cute with boots. Under $9 for 5 pairs.
  • Food stain remover – I’d hear about this from several friends and finally got some. It works! Really does make stains magically disappear.
  • Disinfecting wipes & other cleaning supplies – go ahead and laugh but it’s a great time for buying basics! LOTS of other cleaning supplies on big sale. If you have the space to stock up and store items, this is a great time to do so. Or to purchase some for your child’s classroom!
  • CC cream – I’ve used this foundation for nearly 15 years. Lightweight but great coverage.
  • Concealer – this is my FAVORITE concealer that provides great coverage and that I’ve used for years and years. I use the color tan sand.
  • Wax craft sticks – I restock these for my kids’ stockings every year.
  • Water flosser – I’ve wanted one for ages and now’s the time
  • The rain pants to go with my favorite affordable air jacket
  • Another pair of my favorite workout leggings for K!

Hot Deals

  • 20% Off Old Navy Gift Card – I was surprised to see this on here, but it really works! Buy a $50 gift card for $40, and then you can use it with any discounts on the Old Navy site. This is a lightning deal so grab it quick if you want it!
  • Lightweight hardside suitcase – this is our go-to hardside suitcase because it’s durable but still lightweight (don’t want lots of our weight allowance going to the suitcase itself!). Also the lowest price in a year+.
  • Kids Kindle!! Great deal and the lowest we’ve seen since last holiday season. An absolute MUST for every one of our reading kids when we travel and at home.
  • My favorite affordable rain jacket! Very rarely goes on sale – this is a fantastic deal. Super waterproof and packable. The men’s version also has a few colors on sale, and the rain pants are also on sale (I just purchased these!).
  • 4-pack of AirTags for under $65!
  • 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.
  • Human Body Activity Book – an activity book is always a winner and we really love this one about the human body. Fun and also educational. An amazing deal right now!
  • Stem activity book – got several of these books (they have chemistry, construction, etc.) years ago and they’re still in use. We even shipped them to London!
  • Favorite no-show socks that DO NOT slip down – have gotten SO many messages from all of you on how much you love them, too
  • Wool blend kids socks – we need some new warm socks for upcoming travel and these are the best combo of super comfy and VERY affordable.

  • 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.
  • Raycon earbuds – I heard glowing reviews about these for years and finally took the leap last year. I’ve loved them!
  • Fave travel pillow – My beloved favorite travel pillow that allows me to sleep hours on end on a plane!
  • Metal mixing bowls with lids – I purchased a set of these metal mixing bowls with airtight lids a few months ago and LOVE them – I find myself reaching for them constantly for mixing and storage
  • THE Shoes! I wear these nonstop at home and have taken them on almost every trip for years. So comfortable and have walked miles and miles in them. Lowest price I’ve seen on them!
  • The zip front floral rash guard that I’ve loved for a few years. Great deal!!
  • Airfly – This little Bluetooth transmitter is my fave to use on airplanes. Smoking price.
  • Silicone oven mitts – have had these about a year and am still absolutely obsessed. Weird? Maybe. But so functional. Best price I’ve seen.

  • Fave multipurpose scissors
  • AA Batteries
  • Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum – my 7th child lol. I’ve owned one of these for 8+ years and love it so much. This is an older model but it works great and does the job. Same price at Target, or this refurbished one from Walmart is even cheaper.
  • Bentgo stainless steel leak-proof lunchbox – these are our faves and we even brought them to London with us

  • Battery organizer – who knew I’d get so much joy from having contained batteries?
  • Food stain remover – I’d hear about this from several friends and finally got some. It works! Really does make stains magically disappear.
