A. Saks Carry-on bag
Did you know that Mary Poppins used an A. Saks Carry-on bag? Not really, but just how much stuff you can fit in one is pretty astounding, thanks to its expandable sides that almost double its capacity. Its measurements match the maximum size allowed by airlines, so you’ll never have to worry about jamming it into the overhead compartment. The bag also folds completely flat like a pancake when it’s empty, making it convenient for storage. And wait, there’s more: It’s on sale for $70 through September (normally $145), at Lexington Luggage (793 Lexington Ave between 61st and 62nd Sts (212-223-0698).
Travelon Sheets
The restricted liquids carry-on regulations have left many travelers feeling less than fresh, but with these postage-stamp–size Travelon Sheets, there’s no need to skimp on hygiene. Like those “magic” sponge capsules that grow into giant foam shapes in water, these tiny biodegradable strips transform into cleansing suds when wet. Available in soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream and laundry soap. $2.95 each, at packinglight.net.
Ohso Marko Pocket Toothbrush
Combine two travel essentials into one with this pocket-size toothbrush. The hollow body holds a week’s worth of toothpaste, just turn the knob and it oozes out, right onto the brush. $20, at x-tremegeek.com.
Lush Solid Shampoo
They may look like space cakes, but these delectable products are no hallucination: Just one bar can wash your hair, clean your body and launder your clothes—with no water required. They’re even environmentally friendly: One bar is equal to three 250ml shampoo bottles. $9.45, at lush.com.
Everyday Minerals Cosmetic Wet Wipes
Your travels may be full of reckless abandon, but don’t apply that devil-may-care attitude to your face; neglecting to take off makeup can wreak havoc on your skin. Keeping you face makeup-free while traveling is easy with these wipes. They won’t spill, don’t weigh a ton and they’re all natural, 100-percent biodegradable and flushable. $4, at everydayminerals.com.Bottle ’Biner
Being stuck on a beach with cold Coronas and no bottle opener has kept unimaginative cartoonists in business for decades. But that scenario would prove completely horrifying in real life. Fortunately, this combo bottle-cap and wine opener fits on a key ring and will make you look like MacGyver if you’ve got a 12-pack that’s already sweating and no opener for miles. $12, at Flight 001, 96 Greenwich Ave at Jane St (212-989-0001, flight001.com).Kiehl’s Summer Fridays
You brave the summer heat and sweltering temperatures, and if you’re lucky, you’re rewarded with summer Fridays. For those escapees heading out of town to sunnier pastures and shores, Kiehl’s is making it easier to stock up on necessary essentials like sun-care and hair and body products. Every Friday from May 23 through August 29, Manhattan customers ordering more than $50 worth of Kiehl’s products can call its Upper West Side outpost (212-799-3438) from 9am to noon, pay for their order over the phone and have their products delivered before they leave the office at 1pm.
