Calpak / Summer Fridays
We all have that person in our lives who shows up to the weekend getaway with checked luggage, and easily wastes hundreds (if not thousands!) of dollars each year on overweight baggage fees. Maybe that person is you!
And while once an overpacker always an overpacker will likely hold true (some habits are practically encoded in our DNA), there are so many cute and practical gifts out there to, ahem, subtly help them out. Think: game-changing packing cubes, smart organizers, travel-size beauty products, and so many more finds that make packing lighter feel almost effortless.
In fact, you might even be able to change them without them even noticing. Their suitcase will slowly become a minimalist’s dream and they won’t even realize it’s happening.
Keep scrolling to shop our favorite stocking stuffers for your favorite overpacker (or just downright travel-obsessed friend)—all under $50.
Bagail 8-Piece Packing Cube Set
I hate to be that person, but packing cubes really will transform the way you travel. And this $15 set on Amazon set includes everything you could possibly need: a cosmetic case, accessories pouch, shoe storage, underwear organizer, laundry bag, and mesh cubes to consolidate clothes.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Essentials Set
This travel-sized beauty set from Summer Fridays is perfect for a weekend getaway or longer vacay—the mini bottles will save so much space and make it through TSA. Plus, it’s a steal! You get the Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer, Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist, and Jet Lag Deep Hydration Syrup, along with the cult-fave eye patches, all for $34.
Block Print Quilted Travel Jewelry Case
This roll-up jewelry case is the only way to pack your earrings, necklaces, and bracelets for a trip. It won’t take up too much space in your luggage but still keeps everything secure and organized. Add a cute little personalization (initials or maybe a name) for just $15.
Calpak Tech Organizer
Organize your charging chords, tech accessories, and other miscellaneous gear with this efficient storage case that gives everything its rightful place. Shoppers say it makes “traveling so much easier” and has enough room for “cords, AirPods, power bank, and even [their] laptop adapter without everything getting tangled.”
PakAway Starter Jet Set of 3 Travel-Size Bottles
If you can’t survive even a two-day trip without your holy grail shampoo or the moisturizer that leaves your skin with a post-spa glow, these travel-sized bottles are a no-brainer.
Sweetcrispy Carry-on Luggage
This 21-inch carry-on spinner—which is an absolute steal at $41 right now—is shockingly spacious and has tons of practical storage, including wet and dry mesh areas and compression straps. It even expands out if you need extra space.
ILIA Minis for Any Mood Set
ILIA’s Minis for Any Mood set is not only the perfect way to test out new products (without fully committing) but also conveniently sized for travel. It includes the Mini Multi-Stick in Whisper, Mini Limitless Lash Mascara in After Midnight, and Mini Lip Stretch Hydrating Crayon in Genre.
