The 8 Best Amazon Finds I Use for Summer Travel

Summer is my favorite time of the year to travel. From weekend trips upstate to week-long beach vacations down south, I’ll take any chance I can get to kick back and relax. And no matter where I’m headed, Amazon is always my go-to spot for travel essentials. 

I’m not alone either, because Amazon’s Customers’ Most-loved hub is filled with shopper-approved finds across a range of categories. These picks include popular traveler-loved items like Supergoop! Sunscreen, Adidas sneakers, Hydro Flask water bottles, and Ouai leave-in conditioner. Several of these Amazon finds are also on sale, and everything is under $50. 

Amazon Customers’ Most-loved Travel Essentials

Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen

If there’s one step in my skincare routine that I never skip in the summertime, it’s applying sunscreen. This Glow Screen from Supergoop has become my favorite product thanks to its dewy formula that not only protects my skin but also doubles as a makeup primer. Along with an SPF 40, the sunscreen includes nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and niacinamide. It’s no wonder more than 30,000 shoppers have already snagged one in the past month. 

Adidas Grand Court 2.0 Tennis Shoes

Since I live in New York City and walk just about everywhere, my closet is filled with sneakers. Adidas is one of my favorite shoe brands and these Grand Court tennis shoes are the best for long travel days. They’re lightweight and comfortable so I can wear them for hours on end without any aches or blisters. Plus, they go with everything so I can easily dress them up with a skirt or down with a T-shirt and shorts. 

Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is always a priority of mine, especially when I’m traveling. I’ve had this stainless steel Hydroflask water bottle for years, and it always keeps my water ice-cold. The bottle’s sleek design makes it easy to throw in my tote or backpack, and I don’t have to worry about any spills thanks to its leakproof lid. An extra bonus? It’s 38 percent off right now. 

Toughergun Mini Wallet

No matter where I’m traveling to, I love to have my passport, ID, and credit cards easily accessible. This mini wallet is the perfect way to keep your essentials together, and it’s currently on sale for $12. The wallet has secured more than 35,800 five-star ratings from shoppers who rave about its compact design and durable leather material. One shopper wrote that it’s “slim, efficient and able to hold everything.” 

Eomenie One-piece Swimsuit

It wouldn’t be a summer vacation without a dip in the pool or a trip to the beach, so I always make sure to have a swimsuit on hand. This best-selling one-piece swimsuit is designed with adjustable shoulder straps, a wrap top, a cutdown design on the front, a ruched waist, and a full-coverage bottom for comfort and versatility. Choose from 24 vibrant colors and patterns, or grab a few of each for different occasions. 

Ouai Leave-in Conditioner

Between the heat and humidity in the summer, I make sure to keep my hair hydrated with Ouai’s leave-in conditioner. The two-in-one formula detangles my hair, deep conditions it, and protects it from heat and UV ray damage. I just spray a few squirts in after I wash and condition my hair at night and ta-da! I wake up in the morning with smooth and shiny hair. I use the 4.7-ounce bottle at home and pack the 1.5-ounce in my carry-on. 

Yyw Straw Handbag

A classic straw handbag is a must-have for the warm-weather season, and between the months of May and September, I never leave for a trip without packing one. This woven handbag is designed with a straw material that feels durable and looks luxurious. And its spacious interior can easily hold your beach read, sunglasses, wallet, and other summer essentials. Pro tip: I love tying a bandana along the handle for an extra pop of color and personality. 

Sojos Round Polarized Sunglasses

Sunglasses are always at the top of my packing list, and this popular style from Sojos is on sale for $15. The sunglasses are designed with polarized lenses to protect your eyes from the sun, comfortable nose pads help them stay securely in place, and durable frames ensure you can wear them for a variety of occasions. One shopper wrote, “I am in love with these! The fit is great and they are very lightweight but sturdy!”
