Hello everyone, welcome
back to my channel.
Today I am very excited
to be bringing to you
some of the hottest Amazon stuff
that I've ever, ever, ever, found.
I've done a couple of
these favorite Amazon
or Amazon favorites on my channel
so I will link them down below
as well as up top here.
If you want to check out
any of my other Amazon essentials,
but this is really exciting
because this is going to be entirely
kind of travel themed.
Believe it or not most of
you watching this video
will be traveling somewhere
in the next year,
whether that's international or domestic,
or just a like a road
trip to a nearby town,
you're still going to be traveling
and you're going to find something here
for you that's going to interest you.
And this stuff is mind-blowing.
This stuff is like game-changing stuff
and you happen to be able
to get it within two days
prime shipping, it's incredible.
Let's get started.
For my plane aficionados out there
let's start off with something
you haven't seen before,
okay are you ready for this,
'cause this is not
going to be your typical
toiletry pouch type of situ--
although there is a really
good TSA toiletry pouch
in today's video.
This is the Flight Flap Pro.
Now what this is is basically
it comes like this nice and
straight but you can bend it in
and conform it into different
configurations so that you can watch
movies from your phone or your tablet
from the seat in front of you,
so you know using that
tray and all that stuff,
like trying to find a case that has
a kickstand or trying to prop your phone
up onto a book or some sort
of can of coke or something,
whatever you're trying to
do, it's really uncomfortable
and you're watching movies like this.
What you want to do is keep field-of-view
kind of right at eye level right,
you want to watch the movie at eye level
as if you had one of
those built-in screens.
Some planes don't have them,
especially on domestic flights.
So that's where this
really comes in handy.
I love this because this just slots.
It's so lightweight but it's just,
it's so thin, but it just
slots right into your carry-on,
you don't even have to think about it,
you can even just leave this
into your typical carry-on bag
that you always take for
the seat in front of you
or whatever, like under
the seat in front of you.
Just bring this because you
will never regret a time
that you have it but you regret
the times you don't have it.
It is so genius, they do
come in a bunch of different,
I think there's another
size for specifically,
for large iPads but this one
works just well with iPad Mini,
a regular phone, any other kind of tablet,
like a normal sized tablet, totally fine.
I think if you have the
giant art-sized iPad Pro
or something, that may not cut it.
It could, but it may not.
So anyway, this is amazing
and you can get it on Amazon.
Everything will be linked down below,
as well as for multiple
different countries,
so don't worry, it's okay
if you don't live in the US,
I got you okay?
I got you.
Next up we have some
really, really amazing,
this is a hero product.
And I'm not just saying that
because it has hero in the name.
It's the Heroclip, have you
ever heard of this, guys?
So this was actually developed by a mom,
who found it really frustrating
while traveling with her kids
that she didn't have
something that was kind of a
all-purpose hook that she could use
for multiple different things.
So she developed the Heroclip.
So this really interesting,
and it's sold on Amazon,
and you can get it with
the Prime shipping.
And basically what you can do
is use this as a carabiner.
Normal carabiner, and the
kind of thing that you can
stick onto a loop onto your backpack,
or onto your luggage or whatever,
and carry whatever you want on it.
So you can carry your water
bottle or what have you.
And I do have something
coming up that you'll see
that you can hook up to
this, which is amazing.
But here's the really cool part.
It also un-swivels, let me show you.
So it looks like a
normal carabiner, right?
But it also can un-swivel.
You can actually just
kind of pop this out.
And it can act as a purse
hanger, or bag hanger
from a table.
You can also use it to add an extra bag
onto your rolling luggage,
your rolling carry-on luggage
to hold your purse or
your backpack or whatever,
and I'll insert a picture
of what that looks like.
But this is, what size is this?
The medium size?
This is the medium size.
They also have a smaller size,
they have a bunch of different sizes,
don't quote me on that.
This one is, they have three sizes.
This one is the small, and
I think they have a mini,
so I think it's medium, small, and mini.
And this one, it kind of tells
you when you're ordering it
on Amazon, what each size is best for.
This would be the add-a-bag size,
or hang it from your table in the airport
so that your bag doesn't
touch the airport floor
type of scenario.
And then this would be for
your water bottle, formula,
whatever you want to do
to keep handy access.
A diaper clutch, just to
kind of clip that onto your,
I mean it's not just for parents okay,
this is just really handy in general.
And then they have a really small one,
which I would guess is just
for really really small things.
Helpful, Christina.
Way to go.
Also if you're watching
this video on your phone
through the YouTube app,
there's something that I
wanted to share with you
to make your life easier.
Because I've found that
whenever I would watch
these Amazon videos, it
got a little frustrating
because it would open
up a new browser window,
and then I wouldn't be signed in,
and so it would just take time
and it was really cumbersome.
So what I recommend that
you do is you either,
I'm going to show a screen here,
what you do is you click on the link,
and as you're clicking on the link,
this browser window's going to pop up,
especially if you're on an iOS device.
And you click on the
bottom right hand corner,
where it has the little Safari icon,
it will open up a new window,
and either one of those
windows should bring you
a little banner at the top that says,
"Open in the Amazon app."
If you click that, it's
going to open up the link
straight away into the
app, which is very helpful
because you're already
signed into the app,
you already got your shopping cart there,
you got your, you're logged
into your Prime account,
it's just so much easier.
And if you don't have the app,
at least if you push that
Open in Safari button,
then usually your Safari,
if that's what you use on your iOS device
should have you already logged in.
Whereas that first window
that initially pops up,
you won't necessarily be logged in.
So just something to help you out
because I know that can
kind of frustrating.
And you don't want to have to sit there
and keep switching back
and forth and logging in.
So that's what I do whenever I
watch Amazon Favorites videos
and I do buy a lot of things from Amazon,
watching Amazon Favorites videos,
it's just a really nice
way to get some nice hacks
for your daily life.
And hopefully if you are
finding these travel hacks
helpful in today's video,
then you'll smash that Like button.
I would love to see if you
like this type of video
'cause I will make more videos like this
if you like these, so
definitely hit that Like button
if you're enjoying it.
And if you're new, make sure
you hit the Subscribe button.
All right, I did allude to
something that you could hang on
to your Heroclip, more specifically
probably the small one.
And that is this, you're probably like,
"What the heck is this?"
I don't know.
What could it be?
It's...
Well let me show you.
Prepare to have your mind blown, you all.
It's a water bottle.
It's a collapsible water bottle.
Now I searched,
let me tell you the
amount of research I did
into collapsible water
bottles was endless on Amazon,
there are so many different options.
But I did the testing for you.
I did the research, I did the testing.
This is the best one.
Why?
Because this requires the
least amount of effort.
It doesn't look super strange.
It has structure in the inner part,
which a lot of these roll up
silicon bag-like water bottles
don't have.
And I just don't know how that's stable,
it just doesn't seem very stable.
It doesn't seem sleek to me.
I wanted sleek, I wanted sophisticated,
I wanted good design.
This is good design.
So basically it has this
ring in the inside here,
so you can hold it and it
maintains its structure
and its function, it's BPA free.
It has metal ring and
plastic on the bottom.
Metal ring and plastic here.
And a nice wide mouth opening,
so you can drink from it.
It's great.
It's just a great design.
So what you do is once
all of the water is gone,
you just plop it down.
And then you hook this
little silicone top back on,
and that's it, I mean that's
your collapsible water bottle.
Why would you want this for example?
Because airport water is very expensive.
They know, thanks to
TSA, that you can't bring
your own water bottle in from the outside.
So they count on you
hurriedly chugging your water,
dumping it in the trash
just before security,
and then going and
buying another overpriced
bottle of water.
Not only is this wasting you money,
but it's also bad for the environment
'cause now you're just putting another
extra piece of plastic
into the environment
and into our oceans.
So for the price of one
overpriced bottle of water,
you can have this, and you can fill it up
at many of the convenient
water bottle filling stations
that most airports have nowadays.
So this is the one you want.
For all my content creators, Instagramers,
business people, anybody who
works with a lot of tech,
batteries, memory cards, cables,
and just need a little bit
of organization in your life,
I got to say.
This is the best tech
pouch that I've ever seen.
And if you want something
a little bit more sleek
and compact, this is a really good one.
The first one is the Peak Design,
they come in two colors,
this is the sage color,
but it also comes in black.
And this one is the one from Nomad,
I have a couple other products.
No I'm sorry, this is from Native Union.
I'll link both of these down below,
but I just can't say
enough about having a good
dedicated tech pouch.
Because once you have everything that you
live and work out of, you can
throw this from bag to bag
and you know you're not
missing this charger cable,
or this battery, or this extra SD card,
or this battery charger.
It's all in there.
My power bank is in here,
all of my different
possible cables is in here,
like USB8, USB C, USB C to
USB C, USB C to Lightening.
It's just all in here.
There's even slots for pens.
So when you're traveling internationally
and you need to fill out customs
forms, you know you have it
because it's in your tech pouch.
So this one is the best
design that I've come across,
and I'll tell you why.
It's because it has so many
different compartments.
There's like 35 different
compartments in here,
I didn't actually check,
but there are zippers,
there are little tiny
stretchy compartments
to just securely hold an SD card or two,
and there's multiples of those.
There's just a lot of organization,
and I like that no matter
how much you stuff it,
if it fits in the pocket, it will close.
So it just has that structure,
that form and function.
The only thing I would
say, and if Peak Design,
if you're watching this, which you're not,
I would say could you
please add a second zipper
'cause I would love to be able
to unzip it from the middle,
from two, and just grab something
and then zip them back up.
I think the whole one zip around
is a little bit inconvenient.
That would be my only gripe.
Literally the only grip 'cause
otherwise, this is amazing.
It even has a little handle there.
And a handle there apparently,
so you can grab it from either end.
Let's continue with tech.
I don't actually know if
these are available on Amazon,
so I'm going to cheat here a little bit,
but I just had to show this to you guys
because I think it's
really really helpful.
These two cables are pretty much
all you ever need in your life,
you probably don't even need this one
if you don't have an iPhone.
You would only need this one.
So these two cables alone.
Kind of a splurge.
But they are made from
Kevlar on the inside and out.
They're braided cables.
This is an extra long
one, how useful is that?
The first one is,
what I purchased is a USB
C to Lightening cable,
and what this will do is
allow me to connect and charge
my Apple iPhone 11 Pro.
Because it uses a USB
C to Lightening cable,
but this is just going to last forever.
Actually the cable will last longer
than Apple's Lightening port will.
Because I hear that the
Lightening port is going away.
Not any time soon, but it will be.
The next one is this longer version of the
USB C to USB C cable.
Now this is great for MacBook
charging, iPad Pro charging,
any Samsung Android device
usually uses a USB C now.
And they usually have USB
C to USB C connections.
But if you don't and you're unsure,
or you want to use a cable
for more than one purpose,
this one is the universal version.
So you can connect one side
and have a little adaptor
for the USB A, which is kind
of like your standard USB port.
You can hook this on,
and it stays attached.
So you don't have to fiddle
with little adapters and stuff
and remember which one you brought.
It's just attached to the cable,
you can use it or not use it, right?
And this one is USB C, and
there's also a micro USB there.
So that's really useful
for charging a GoPro
or charging a power bank.
Usually they use these little micro USB,
so you have everything in
one cable, it's amazing.
I wish everyone that is watching this,
I wish that would have one of these
because you will always
have the right port
if you have this cable.
And then if you happen to
need a Lightening cable
like I do because I'm an iPhone user,
then this is also helpful,
it's just an added expense.
All right I'm ready to blow your mind
with a little bit more yellow
than you've already been seeing
[laughs] in this video, I'm
sorry it's a lot of yellow.
I'm having a moment apparently.
This is the most amazing travel wallet.
I actually, this comes in
like 45 different colors.
I picked the yellow 'cause
it's easy to see in your bag.
But you could get anything
from two different shades
of mint green to two
different shades of gray,
and black, and basically
they look like these Saffiano
textured wallets.
And it's like an envelope style wallet.
It's rather large.
It's meant to hold your
passport, your boarding pass,
and let me show you.
It comes even with a little packing guide.
It has little compartments
for credit cards,
or business cards.
Here's more compartments for credit cards.
A space for your ID.
And I think even, actually I
don't know what that's for.
I'll have to look that up.
I don't know what this little slot is for.
But it might be another memory
card thing or something.
I'm not really sure.
It has a zipper compartment
for loose change.
It has stuff to hold your
different types of currency.
There's so many pockets,
there's so much organization in here
that it's just wonderful,
you can even fit a large iPhone in here.
Which is pretty amazing.
It's just a really nice and
well thought-out wallet,
and the nice thing is when
you know if you have this
that everything is in your hand,
and you're not fumbling
around for your passport,
which pocket in my bag
did I put my passport in,
and then you start to sweat a little bit
'cause you're rapidly
approaching the customs line
and you're like, oh my
God, oh my God, oh my God,
where's my passport?
You don't have to worry
'cause you put it all in here.
And if you could see this
bright yellow wallet,
you know that you got what you need.
And the second thing is what I have in it,
which is this tiny cute
little, itty bitty travel pen.
It's like a little baby unicorn.
Like can you even see it
on camera, it's so small,
I love it, oh my God.
It comes in a pack of two,
it comes with refills.
And it's called the Narwhal.
So yeah, there's that.
It's so cute and it fits
right in this little
pen loop pocket, so especially
for international travel,
you've got your pen,
you've got your passport.
You know on those little US customs forms,
you have to fill out your passport number
and so you need to take out
your passport at the same time,
you've got your pen right there.
You don't have to, I've been that person
that has been like, I don't have a pen,
does anyone have a pen?
There was one time where
nobody on the plane
had a pen extra.
And so we were just literally
like passing it down,
seat by seat, and starting
to break out in a sweat
as we're landing, we're like, oh my God,
is it going to get to me in time?
Want to treat yourself to
something to help you sleep
on the plane, especially if
you're going to be sleeping
in a cramped economy seat,
and it's a red-eye flight,
or it's an overhaul, overhaul?
No, overnight, long haul flight [laughs].
Let's call 'em overhauls, why not?
You can't do any better
than getting yourself,
treating yourself, to
a really nice eye mask.
And the really cool
thing about this is that
silk is really good for
your hair and your skin
because it doesn't tug.
For me, I have lash extensions,
and you really don't want
to be using something
that can be as abrasive as even cotton.
They're going to, they have
these microscopic texture
in the weave of these
fabrics that will actually
tug at your skin or your hair,
or your eyelash extensions.
So you want to go with
something like a silk mask.
And this one, for as
much as it's hyped up,
it really is nice.
I particularly liked this color.
I like it because it
has little lashes on it.
So this is the mask, it's
so soft, like you just--
you want to wear pajamas made by them.
Do they make pajamas?
That would be amazing.
Or does anyone know or
recommend of any good,
preferably Amazon silk pajamas?
Because that would be amazing, but anyway,
this is what they look like.
And they come in a bunch
of different colors,
they don't all have lashes on them,
so they're not like all,
there's definitely a discrete
version, or one for men,
or whatever, there's black ones.
And all sorts of different colors.
But I really like that this
band is not super tight.
It'll fit any head size, or any hairstyle
you can possibly think of.
And I feel that that's really nice,
that it's just a nice
little thing to throw in
your carry-on, and you know that you can
pop this on, pop in some Bose sleepbuds,
or some noise canceling headphones,
and you are literally
blocking out the world,
you are not even on a plane anymore,
and that to me is worth the extra price
that it takes to get this in your hand.
All right let's move back
over to another tech product.
And that is this.
Now this is something that
you might want to store
in your check in bag 'cause
it is on the heavier side.
Now if you're someone who has,
you're going to be traveling
and you're going to need
your MacBook Pro charging brick,
your iPad Pro charging brick,
your iPhone charger,
and all these power bricks,
and you're like why?
Why do I need to take three
pounds worth of power bricks,
charging bricks to hook up
for each individual device,
I got you.
This is genius.
For about the same weight as
a normal laptop power brick,
even the new MacBook Pros,
which are bigger and larger and heavier
than their predecessors,
this is the same weight,
pretty much the same size.
But it has USB C, two USB C
ports with power delivery,
one is an 18 watt, which
is appropriate enough
for fast charging an iPhone
11 Pro, any iPhone 8 or later.
But you get the fast charging
benefit for iPhone 8s and up.
And you can also use this
for an iPad Pro, or iPad,
iPad Mini, it's kind of like
that bigger, larger brick
that you're used to.
And then there is a 90 watt charger,
which is appropriate enough
to charge a MacBook Pro.
Which is insane.
You can hook up your USB C cable,
including this one that I just mentioned.
And you're good to go, you can
hook everything up with this.
With this combo, you can charge
pretty much any device out there.
On top of that, you have some USB A ports,
and they are the higher amp.
Anyway they're the fast charging version
of the USB A ports in
case you have a cable
that you need to use that
has USB A, don't worry,
it's got you covered.
This is not a hub for data transfer,
so it's not going to be
something that you hook up
to add extra ports to your computer.
This is just for, basically a power brick
with a bunch of different options for you.
And you only have to take one.
Which is amazing.
And then you could hook
this up to an adaptor
if you're traveling internationally,
and you should have no issues with that,
let me see if it's dual voltage, yes.
So all you need is an adaptor,
you don't need a converter.
It's really nice.
Moving on, let's go with
something pretty classic.
Pretty stereotypical, but hear me out.
This TSA toiletry bag.
This, if you don't know.
If you don't live in the US.
Any time you travel to or
from the United States,
you have to put all of your
liquids, three ounces and under,
you could only carry it
for in your carry-on,
three ounces and under has
to go in a clear quart-sized
TSA approved carry
whatever, clear bag, okay?
So it used to be we just
used a quart-sized Ziploc.
But that doesn't really have gussets
and TSA has updated their
guidelines so you can have,
there's certain dimensions
that you can have
for a clear bag.
You can't just take any clear bag
and stuff it with 25
different three ounce bottles
of shampoo and what have you.
It can only be a certain size.
And I found this one to
be the most luxurious,
the most durable, and meets
the exact requirements
without going under.
So some of these will play it safe
and will just kind of go
undersize the TSA requirements.
And this one does exactly on the dot,
the exact measurements
for the TSA guidelines.
And it has these nice gussets,
so you can really pack
some bottles in there,
which is really really nice.
And it is made by a
company that is known for
their leather products.
So it has leather piping
around all of the,
this comes in a million different colors,
I just liked white because
it's kind of a classic.
And it has leather band
across the top here.
It has a really nice YKK zipper,
so some of these toiletry bags
you're going to find on Amazon
will have this cheap ass zipper
that you know is going to break
within a few uses.
This has a genuine YKK zipper,
which is kind of the cream of the crop.
And costs like an extra, it
costs extra for manufacturers
to use this patent or something.
I don't know the exact specifics.
It also has a snap loop here,
so you can just grab
it, use it as a handle.
This is amazing 'cause
I can fit so much more
in this toiletry pouch
than I could with my previous versions,
and I have a lot.
Like I have an entire drawer
full of clear, TSA approved
pouches, and I'm just
getting rid of all of them
because this is the best one
and it's the most durable
and it's the most well made one.
And it's just, there's some
craftsmanship involved,
it came in this beautiful
presentation box.
Which, I mean, that's
crazy, it's just a TSA clear
toiletry bag.
But.
It came in a beautiful presentation box,
it was almost like opening
up a Smithson diary,
you know what I mean?
It was a really nice experience.
And it just goes to show,
it comes from a company
that is focused on their
manufacturing process
and leather, non-leather goods.
So yeah.
Really really appreciate
the attention to detail
and durability with this pouch.
And I'm really glad I found it
because I had to go through,
I had to kiss a lot of frogs
to find the perfect toiletry pouch.
So again, you're welcome.
You can't go wrong with
a silk mini scrunchie.
So this is going to help your hair.
Like if you get a headache
from your hair being pulled
too tight for too long,
especially when you're traveling,
this is really helpful.
I really really like these.
I found nothing works as good
as a good silk scrunchie.
But I find the thicker
ones a little bit too '80s,
it's a little bit too,
it's a look that I don't
always want to have.
Like sometimes I just want
a discrete little hairband.
So this one has this
beautiful bronze color,
the black and then a
polka dot black and white.
Listen, you can't go wrong with this.
It doesn't pull or snag you hair,
you don't get a headache when you use it.
It holds all of the hair.
And, I mean if someone with my fine hair
can wear this without it slipping it out,
I know it can hold your hair.
All right this is not an Amazon purchase.
But I just got to show you this
because it's so good for travel, you guys.
These are the ROAV sunglasses.
Now you guys know from a previous blog,
which I'll link up here,
that I had been interested in finding
some folding Ray-Bans.
And I found they're either
just really hard to find,
or they just didn't have a
good selection of styles,
like I just didn't really
care for any of the styles,
and the case that they
come in is act quite thick,
like it's a folding case and it's smaller
than a normal sunglasses case,
but it's still like a, it's a good size.
And there's no real protection involved
from traveling with them.
They are still as breakable,
if not more breakable
with more moving parts and screws
than a normal pair of sunglasses.
So I looked to ROAV,
and I went ahead and splurged on a pair.
These are not cheap sunglasses,
but I will link some really
good folding sunglasses
on Amazon, I have not tried them myself.
But I almost bought them.
I just didn't want to spend
the money to buy those
since I had already bought these.
But I literally almost pulled the trigger
on these Amazon ones.
They're a legit brand, and they make these
basically Ray-Ban dupe folding wayfarers.
So I will link those down below for you,
again for multiple countries.
But let me show you the ROAVs
because in the videos on their website,
they show that someone is
driving over the sunglasses.
So there's no moving parts.
Like all of the hinges,
they're machine hinges
and everything is metal and glass.
And they all come polarized,
so you don't have to pay
extra for a polarized version.
And there's just no, I
don't know how they do it.
But there's no screws anywhere.
So these are basically
the club master version
of the ROAV sunglasses.
And they're just a polarized jet black.
They come in a million different colors,
a million different styles.
I'll leave the website down below.
The only thing you have to get use to
is they're kind of flat in the front.
So you know,
you might see more of
your face from the side.
But I think they have
quite a bit of attitude
and they're just kind of a classic look.
They're like a classic shape,
they're a classic look.
I really enjoy them,
I'm really glad that I went
ahead and spent the money
on a pair of sunglasses.
And you just fold them down like this.
Pop those down.
Pop them like this.
And look at this, I mean, this
can go in your back pocket.
That is really small.
That's sunglasses.
In my hand is a pair of sunglasses.
That looks really nice.
I think it's genius.
I love genius design.
And this definitely fits the bill.
