We all know the drill when it comes to packing for a vacation: the perfect outfits, your skincare essentials, sunscreen, and, if you’re anything like me, a just-in-case outfit (or three)... here's our new vacation collection just in case you're like me! But let’s talk about the unexpected, will-be-missed if you forget them, items to pack in your suitcase—those small-but-mighty items you’ll be thanking yourself for when the time comes. Here are five things you probably didn’t think to pack, but absolutely should.

1. A Bluetooth Speaker

Sure, your phone’s speaker technically works, but a Bluetooth speaker takes your vacation vibes from “meh” to “main character energy” real quick. 🎶 Whether you’re setting the mood with some chill beats while sipping wine on the balcony or starting an impromptu dance party in your Airbnb kitchen, this little gadget is your secret weapon for turning every moment into a scene from a movie. Bonus: It’s great poolside 👙 for a little extra fun vibe or bring on the golf cart for a guaranteed good time!

2. A Yeti Mug

Not all heroes wear capes; some are insulated and keep your coffee hot and your margaritas cold for hours. Imagine this: You’re sightseeing, and your iced coffee is still actually iced three hours later. Or, you’ve poured your wine into it to take to the beach (no judgment, it’s vacation). The Yeti Mug is a versatile MVP that earns its spot in your carry-on every time. Plus, it’s spill-proof, so it’s toddler-approved—or just clumsy-adult-approved. And, pack your sunglasses in it and shove in your suitcase - they’ll arrive unharmed and ready to rock!

3. Perfume Roller

You know that magical, intoxicating scent that lingers in chic hotels? Bring your own version with a perfume roller. This tiny, TSA-approved item takes up zero space and lets you freshen up on the go. Whether you’re masking the scent of airplane snacks or just want to feel a little fancy on your hiking adventure, a quick swipe on your wrists or neck can keep you smelling good the entire day. And no more leaking, hard to pack perfume bottles! Here's a link to our favorite perfume roller!

4. Mini Scissors

Before you roll your eyes, hear me out. Mini scissors are like the Swiss Army knife of vacation essentials. Need to cut a tag off a new outfit? Snip away. Fighting with that impossible-to-open plastic packaging? Problem solved. Want to turn an old shirt into a last-minute beach cover-up? Boom, fashion designer. These little lifesavers can do it all, and they’ll have you feeling like MacGyver by the end of your trip. Just don’t forget to stash them in your checked luggage to avoid awkward TSA conversations.

5. A Few Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are the unsung heroes of travel—and I’m not talking about the grocery store kind with holes in them. Pack a couple of sturdy ones for those “just in case” moments. Wet swimsuit? Toss it in a bag. Souvenirs that somehow doubled in volume? Plastic bag to the rescue. Sandy, dirty shoes to haul home? Hello, makeshift shoe bags to save your clothes. Honestly, you might find yourself wondering how you ever traveled without them.

So there you have it—five unexpected, yet totally brilliant, items to pack for your next getaway. They’re small, practical, and downright genius. Throw them in your suitcase and thank me later. Your vacation just got a serious upgrade.🌴😎🌊
