14 Items Under $25 That You Should Never Travel Without

Who says essential items have to be expensive? When we’re traveling, it often seems the things we rely on the most come with the smallest price tags. This list of items you should never travel without for $25 or less is the perfect example. 

Royal Moist Wet Wipe Towelettes 

If you’re traveling with kids, Royal Moist Wet Wipe Towelettes are a must. They’re great for wiping grimy hands and faces or cleaning off tabels. They’re also good for cleaning up after a drive-through meal or freshening up on the airplane without standing in line for the bathroom. Buy this 1,000 pack and toss them in your bags, glovebox, suitcase, and pockets so they’ll be there when you need them. 

Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus 

“I want to iron my clothes when I travel,” said absolutely no one. But that doesn’t mean we want to walk around looking like crumpled messes, either. Luckily, there’s an easy alternative. Just spray your garment with a light mist of Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus, give it a couple of quick shakes, and your garment is crisp and presentable again. The travel-sized bottles are even small enough to fit in a purse or carry on. They’re a must for trips where you’ve brought at least one dressy outfit. 

EcoVessel Water Bottle 

Bottled water is expensive, especially at hotels and airports. Perhaps more importantly, more than a million plastic water bottles are purchased every minute around the globe and less than half of them are recycled. This is why it’s important to bring a reusable water bottle when you travel. The EcoVessel TriMax Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle is triple-layered with food-grade stainless steel and copper to keep drinks cold for 100 hours and hot for 20 hours. It’s also leak-free and sweat-free so you can throw it in a bag with electronics or other valuables without worrying about moisture damage. The design is smooth, sleek, and as stylish as it is practical. 

Singer 00279 Sewing Kit In Storage Box 

There was a time when sewing kits were part of the standard hotel vanity package. Those days are over. Sure, there are a few places that still offer them, but they’re few and far between. If you lose a button, or worse, split a seam while you’re away from home, a small sewing kit like this is a lifesaver. The Singer 00279 Sewing Kit in Storage Box fits easily into a purse or carry-on bag and it comes with 20 small spools of different colored thread, needles, replacement buttons, miniature scissors, and more.
