APPAREL / PERSONAL
I've lost way too many pairs of nice sunglasses on vacations. I love having a couple pairs of "cheap" sunglasses that I won't be heartbroken losing on a cruise or a plane. These have been my go-to's for a little over a year now.
We have used these for years! Don't worry about losing your expensive/ sentimental rings on vacation, just get silicones! I hate the feeling of not having my wedding bands on my finger, and not-so-secretly love the tan line I get on vacations. These help so much and are a GREAT price.
This watch is AWESOME to have on vacation. Track your heartrate, don't miss any calls or texts while you're not holding your phone, and always have the time on hand (we know how easy it is to lose track of time on vacation). Waterproof, great for any activity, AND a phenomenal price!
Great hat for being out in the sun without having to worry about it getting blown off in the wind! Plus, bucket hats are making a comeback!
Monorail Please Stand Clear Of The Doors English Spanish T-Shirt
LOVE this Disney monorail tshirt! Available in different colors, mens or womens, AND up to a 6X and in Tall! As a family with a couple 3x and 4x shoppers, this was a GREAT find!
Roma Leathers Cross Body Purse - Premium Quality Leather - Designed in USA
This is mom's go-to bag ANYWHERE we travel! She loves it and it's held up very well! LOTS of pockets and all zip shut for security. So perfect for a safe, small bag and comfortable walking around for hours - put your wallet, chap stick, a fan, and your phone. Done!
We have used these for our family for a while now. They work very well and are always great to have on any trip around water.
SaphiRose 5 Pack Rain Ponchos Disposable Ponchos Thick Emergency Raincoats
If you're heading to the Orlando theme parks, ponchos are ALWAYS good to have. Storms can come out of no where and often disappear fast enough that it makes sense to just grab food while it passes. Ponchos help cover your clothes AND your belongings while you wait out the storm!
Again, ponchos are a MUST HAVE in Orlando or on Alaskan cruises where you may be doing waterfall tours! We love these color ones, too, as they're easier to see your crew in the crowd and their closed wrists are awesome!
We found out many years ago that having a pop up hamper makes SUCH a difference when driving on vacation. Doesn't take up room on the way there and you can separate your dirty laundry for the ride home, ready to go straight into the washing machine! So simple but such a game changer!
Freshly Picked Classic Park Pack, Fashion Waist Fanny Bag, Mom Hip Bag, Cognac
Sling or waist bags are so awesome for travel. They're the perfect size to carry your essentials without having to track everything with you. This brand is awesome, too, and great quality!
I've got a couple items from this brand now and love them! High waisted, quick-drying joggers are perfect for the parks, exploring at a cruise port, or just lounging around the resort!
I always laughed at people who used packing cubes until I became a mom - haha. These make a big difference and will help keep your head on straight when traveling with littles (or husbands lol). We fill them by type of garment (underwer/socks, tshirts, shorts, etc) but I have friends who sort by types of outfits instead!
A hair tools bag that also has a heat pad? Done and done. (Take it from someone who has burned the counter at a resort before because I didn't know the material wasn't heat proof)
Was given this bag last year and use it CONSTANTLY. Waterproof/easy to clean. I always keep it in the car ready to go for anything (random playground, pool day, parks, heading to a friend's house, etc) and keep extra clothes for both kids, swim stuff, sunscreen, extra diapers, wipes, and snacks.
These are a MUST if you get the above bag (or any knockoff), they make it so much more usable! So good for created sections to hold everything better and if you're bringing food or drinks that you don't want to get smushed it can be turned horizontally! Cheap and easy? That's a win!
These are a MUST if you get the above bag (or any knockoff), they make it so much more usable! Perfect for keys, water bottles, hairties, etc especially so you're not digging around trying to find small stuff with a kid on your hip!
I use these everywhere. I have them in my car bag, in my personal bag, in my living room, in the boys' playroom, the list goes on. They are the perfect size and easy to see through so you know what it is.
