"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

When you think about it, you’ve been prepping for months. Plane tickets, car rentals, and hotels? Check. Museums, water parks, and restaurants? If not locked and loaded, you’ve at least gamed out almost every rainy-day contingency. You’ve even left just enough room for come-what-may serendipity, for those inevitable moments when the family accuses you of over-programming them. While the summer is all about lightening your load and feeling the grass between your toes, you know from experience that the season’s signature spontaneity takes some serious planning. And, of course, more than a handful of the right accoutrements.

Rather than letting you scramble for last-minute gear two days before departure and praying to the Amazon Prime gods, we put together the ultimate travel list: from workhorse mainstays like the perfect carry-on roller and featherweight packing cubes to in-flight godsends like travel pants that will take you from overnight flight to lunch and state-of-the-art noise-canceling headphones. Whether you are getting into a plane or a car, or enjoying the summer breeze in your own backyard, these evergreen picks will make you giddy for the time of year we have all been waiting for.

Multi-Zip Case in Panama

This pouch will be an all-star companion on any adventure. From a British brand known for its posh travel accessories, it’s made from a luxe and durable cross-grain leather and lined with fabric. As classic as it is, it’s also playful, with four colored zip compartments to help you keep different currencies separated. Choose from one of the 10 colors and monogram it, if you so choose.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

We sometimes go on vacation to shut out the outside world and gain perspective in peace and quiet. These state-of-the-art noise- canceling headphones (choose from quiet, aware, or immersion listening modes) will allow you to turn inward and enjoy a high-quality, natural-sounding audio experience. They can even block out interference from wind gusts! You’ll get up to 24 hours of listening pleasure with each charge. And as you can tell by their cushiness, they’re comfy to wear.

The Plasma Lip Compound

When it comes to travel, only multipurpose products need apply. This lip compound hydrates, softens, and smooths lips as it visibly plumps them in the most natural way. It comes in 14 flattering shades to give you a pretty sheer-and-shiny look for day or night.

Travel Pillow

Instead of waking up midflight on your seatmate’s shoulder, cozy up to this super-comfy travel pillow, which has its own snug carrying case and stashes easily in a carry-on. It’s made of memory foam that gives you 360 degrees of plush neck support. Adjustable “hoodie locks” make for a secure fit, and it even has its own pillowcase.

Solgaard Carry-On Closet Suitcase

Ever wish you could bring the organization of your closet with you on vacation? Well, you can with this carry-on-size roller suitcase that comes in two colorways. Inside, there’s a patented system with six shelves to keep your clothes in order, so you can designate each shelf to a category like shirts or undies, just like you do at home. And when you arrive at your destination, you can keep your things in the suitcase or roll it in all its organized glory right into the closet.

The Insider Packing Cubes (Set of 4)

Whether you are a flat packer or a roller, once you convert to the ways of the packing cube, you’ll never go back. They can not only free up some space but also keep things wrinkle-free and organized. Made of water-resistant nylon and mesh, which allows you to see what’s in them, this set of four fits easily into a standard carry-on case.

Apple World Travel Adapter Kit

No matter where you are on the planet, this adapter kit will keep all your devices fully charged. It comes with seven AC plugs with prongs suitable for North America, Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Korea, Continental Europe, Australia, Hong Kong, and Brazil—and it works with a variety of Apple devices (iPhone, iPod, iPad, and Mac notebooks). In case you forget which is which, they’re etched with the compatible region.

Ballet Flats in Poppy

A foldable flat you can actually walk for miles in, these flexible Oprah-approved staples have a foam cushioned insole that’s designed to mold to your feet. Deceptively trim, the shoes bury ample support in their signature vibrant blue shock-absorbing outsoles. The best part: They fold up to the size of a small wallet so you can change out of your heels after dinner and walk home.

Kindle Paperwhite

Can’t decide between Elin Hilderbrand’s Swan Song and Colm Tóibín’s Long Island? Bring ’em both! This 16-gigabyte Kindle upgrade has up to 10 weeks of battery life, so it won’t need to be charged even on a long getaway. The display, complete with an adjustable light that goes from white to soft amber, will stay glare-free even if you’ve found a sunny spot for lounging at the beach. And if it accidentally goes for a quick dip, no problem—it’s waterproof.

The Honeycomb Travel Containers (Set of 7)

Finally, a customizable system that allows you to decant all your lotions, potions, and pills or vitamins into color-coded, travel-size magnetic capsules. You can choose your colors, sizes, and labels and either stack them vertically on the side of a sink or snap them together into a flat honeycomb shape in your suitcase.

The Nori Press

Yes, it looks and acts a lot like a flat iron, swiftly smoothing creases and kinks out of fabric without having to flip your garment over: The two aluminum plates allow you to press both sides in one motion. Just like a traditional iron, there are multiple heat settings plus a steam option. The best part? There’s no cumbersome ironing board required!

Mee Audio Connect Air In-Flight Wireless Audio Adapter

Instead of waiting for the flight attendant to get to you in row 38 with plug-in headphones, you can use this little bit of brilliance to sync via Bluetooth with your own headphones. It also works with gaming devices and computers. And if the person next to you wants to watch what you’re watching, no problem. It’ll support a second set of headphones.

Sleep Tight Gummies

Travel can disrupt even the soundest of sleep schedules. These vegan gummies have melatonin, magnesium, and botanical ingredients like chamomile, lavender, and elderberry, which are all known for their calming benefits. Take two gummies to help you fall asleep—our creative director, Adam Glassman, swears by them. Though they are made with natural ingredients, you should check with your doctor first, especially if you have an existing medical condition, to make sure there are no contraindications.

The Fray Toptote Hat Clip

Which is why we can’t believe nobody ever came up with this ingenious clip with a magnetic closure before. Made with raffia detailing, it attaches to your bag (and makes a cute charm) and clips to your hat so you can be hands-free whenever the wind blows. It can even hold two hats if the brims aren’t too thick.

Fold-Up Bag

A good rule of thumb: If on the day of your departure you can barely shut your suitcase because you threw in an extra just-in-case dress, chances are good that you won’t be able to resist picking up a few things when on foreign soil. The key is to be honest with yourself—and to be prepared. This lightweight, water-resistant duffel is made from 22 recycled plastic bottles and folds up into a zippable pouch. Compact enough to tuck into a purse or carry-on, this secret second suitcase is even sturdy enough to check in a pinch. So go ahead, get those adorable handmade sandals in every color.
