The well organized urbanite’s answer to the Swiss Army knife: a mini screwdriver, file, scissors, toothpick, knife, tweezers, pin, pen and ruler, all swiftly pluckable from their thick credit card-like home. As with the aforementioned knife, don’t try to carry this on, kids.

What differentiates this carryon-friendly clear quart-sized plastic baggie stand-in from the others now on the market? It comes bearing not only little 2.5-ounce product bottles, but an eye mask and a set of ear plugs to help you catch some Zs (or discourage seatmate chattiness). Also? It’s trimmed in leather. Fancy.

Yet another handy luggage scale to help you craftily dodge at least one of the airlines’ ever-multiplying fees. Luggage scales help you pack appropriately on the way out and then spread the souvenir weight out accordingly on the way back, making for a nice, streamlined process that doesn’t involve crossing your fingers and/or desperately rifling through your overflowing luggage in front of a line full of impatient fellow travelers. Side note: This one is sold by my favorite new online travel goods store wejetset. Check it out.

Protect packed clothing from nasty shoe bottoms. Also: All three pairs go from luggage to hanging in the hotel closet in one quick move.

Always thinking you should get one of those little pouches that unzips into a huge bag, to carry purchases on your return trip? Go for it: This nice, big duffel’s on winter clearance for less than half-price.

Portable tablets that transform an unassuming glass of water into a great-tasting, electrolyte-laden, carb- and sugar-free drink. Like popular sports “ade”s, but without the toxic colors and sugars. They dissolve quickly, sans fizz, and travel fantastically in their little plastic tube, ready for any vacation hydration situation (extreme heat, illness, mega hike, hangover). I’m a big fan of the Orange Ginger flavor.

To contain—or protect from—wetness in a pretty manner. Good for damp bathing suits, wet bibs, wee toiletries or small electronics. This one’s the smallest version, at just 8″ X 7″. Keep in mind that they’re all handmade, with lots of fabric patterns available.

Warm white wine? Puh-leeze. Deflates to pack flat.

Keep it packed with your essentials so it’s easy to move—no, transfer—them from bag to bag. While you’re out sightseeing, for example, slip it into your larger tote or backpack to keep iPod, phone, camera, keys and such handy in its many pockets and slots. When you’re ready to travel lighter for, say, dinner, or a night on the town, it’s cute enough to stand on its own as a clutch. Comes with a slim attachable strap, in case you prefer an over-the-shoulder style.

Kate Spade’s alternative to the clear quart-sized Ziploc required to house liquids and gels headed through the airline security. Of course it’s trimmed in cowhide, featuring 14-karat gold-plated hardware.
