TikTok users aren't gatekeeping their favorite travel products this year.
zoppen / reimot / klipsta / touchland / boshkuTikTok has a magical way of turning a simple product into a must-have item. With the summer travel season getting close, you might have already picked out where you and your family are going on vacation this year, but you likely haven’t thought about what you’re going to pack.
No matter if you’re taking a road trip or flying across the country, packing the must-have items is important, and TikTok definitely knows what those must-have products are. After scouring the social media app for trending travel products, we gathered 15 that are perfect for summer travel. From new suitcases and organizational products to hair accessories and hand sanitizer, these are the top "TikTok made me buy it" travel products for your summer vacation.
Bagsmart Compression Packing Cubes
Packing cubes have become a necessity over the years, especially for over-packers who are constantly trying to close their suitcase by sitting on them. TikTok loves this brand because it has two zippers: one that closes the bag, and another that compresses everything down to a smaller package. The bags come in sets of two, four, or six in various colors. Get a set of these convenient cubes for everyone in your family so everyone’s suitcase is organized from the start to the end of your vacation.
Hair claw clips are back, and we couldn’t be more excited. TikTokers are sharing how easy it is to throw your hair up during long travel days or look more put together after stepping off of a long-haul flight. This eight-pack of claw clips are all neutral colors, but if your aesthetic is more bright and vibrant, there is a neutral and light colors option. The matte finish is super trendy and can be paired with just about any outfit.
iWALK Magnetic Wireless Power Bank
There’s nothing worse than your phone dying on a plane or as you’re trying to order dinner at your hotel room through Door Dash. With this wireless portable charger, your phone will always be at 100 percent battery. The power bank sticks to the back of your phone with a strong magnet and has a finger ring attached to make it easy to carry around. (Note: The charger is only compatible with iPhone 12 and newer.)
Zoppen Rfid Blocking Travel Wallet
This all-in-one passport holder and wallet is ideal for international travel. The trifold wallet folds nicely to look like an envelope. On the inside, there are plenty of slots for credit cards, luggage tags, and IDs, along with a dedicated passport and phone opening. The wallet also has a small D-ring to attach any keys you don’t want to lose, and a pen clip. The wallet is RFID-blocking, so you don’t have to worry about your credit cards getting skimmed, either.
TikTok can’t seem to get enough of this hat clip that perfectly secures almost any hat to a bag or backpack with extra-strength magnets. The hat clip would be great for beach vacations, where you want a hat while reading in the sun, but don’t want to have to fuss with it while walking to or from your vacation rental. The clip comes in six different colors, so you can pick the one that suits your style best.
Béis Weekender Water Repellent Tote Bag
Not only has Béis as a brand gone viral multiple times on TikTok, but the brand’s Weekender bag is also a social media sensation. The water-repellent bag has a removable shoulder strap and a padded laptop sleeve. There are two main compartments on the bag: one that zips around the bottom of the bag for shoes, and one larger compartment on the top of the bag for everything else. There is a small pocket on the front of the bag, which is a great spot to store a phone or passport. (Read our full review of the Weekender bag here.)
Tessan Universal Power Adapter
Universal power adapters are essential for travel. This one from Tessan has integrated converters for over 150 countries. Along with the general plugs, there are four USB ports on the bottom of the adapter that can be used to charge smartphones and watches. The lightweight and compact design means it won’t take up much room in your luggage, and can easily be stored in a carry-on bag if needed.
We all love our wireless headphones, but on planes, they sometimes don’t connect to the seat-back entertainment systems. That’s where this TikTok find comes in handy: The Twelve South AirFly Duo is a transmitter that can pair with two sets of headphones via Bluetooth, then be plugged into any headphone jack for easy listening. With one charge, the transmitter can last up to 16 hours, which should be plenty for a long travel day.
By now, you’ve likely heard your travel buddies as well as TikTok influencers raving about Away luggage. The carry-on bag is known for its compression interiors, allowing travelers to fit even more items into their luggage. The suitcase has 360-degree spinner wheels, so it’s easy to navigate the airport or busy streets. With six different colors to choose from, you can find one that fits your needs, even if the need is to easily spot it in the overhead bin amongst all of the black and blue suitcases.

Travel TikTok can’t get enough of this hanging toiletry bag. The easily foldable bag comes in 10 different colors, but each of them has the same interior setup. The bag unfolds to reveal four compartments, all of which have a clear lining over the top so you can see what’s in each individual section. The two larger compartments have elastic straps that hold bottles upright, so you don’t need to worry about anything spilling. The integrated hook is a non-slip, swivel hook so you can hang this up anywhere in a bathroom.
riemot Luggage Travel Cup Holder
Traveling through the airport just got easier with this cup holder that easily slips over the top of your suitcase handle. The cup holder has two openings that can either hold two cups or a cup and a cell phone, making for easy hands-free walking — or running — through the airport. The TikTok favorite comes in a multitude of colors so you can match it to your suitcase. When you’re done using the holder, it folds up flat for easy storage in your carry-on bag or backpack.
Fashion influencers who also dabble in travel have a lot of great things to say about this sunglasses organizer, which can come with three or five slots. The organizer folds up into a compact design that also protects sunglasses from getting broken or scratched. Each slot has a strap that goes over the sunglasses so they don’t move around, giving you the extra insurance that your glasses stay in pristine condition.
Plush Velvet Travel Jewelry Box Organizer
Instead of throwing all of your jewelry into a small box or a padded bag, why not actually keep it organized with this jewelry box organizer. The velvet bag has three built-in trays for bracelets, necklaces, and larger earrings. It also has six slots for rings. There is a mirror that divides one side of the box from the other, revealing hooks for more necklaces or bracelets. The jewelry box comes in colors ranging from neutrals like navy to bright orange.
Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer
Touchland hand sanitizers seem to be all over TikTok lately. The compact design makes these great for fanny packs or purses, no matter if you’re visiting theme parks or grandma's house this summer. This set comes as a pack of three, with three different scents, so everyone in your family can pick which one they like the most.
One of the more unique items that TikTok loves is the Ponyback Everyday Fit Hat. While it may look like a regular baseball cap, it actually has a large slit at the back of the hat where you can pull your perfect ponytail or top bun through and still wear the hat comfortably. The hat does come in youth and adult sizes and has a large selection of colors to choose from.
