6.Wireless portable charger
A teeny tiny wireless portable charger that’ll take up as little room as possible so you can doom scroll, text, and listen to SZA’s new album to your ~heart’s content~ without worrying about your phone dying before your flight has even taken off or while you’re out and about on your trip. This would be great for travel, long work days, bad service areas (eats up battery faster), or older phones whose battery isn’t that great (this worked on his iPhone 7 and my iPhone XR).

13.Alleyoop 4-in-1 makeup pen
I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! It’s so nice and convenient to have a tool for brows, highlighter, bronzing, eyeliner, and lip liner all in one. It’s a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It’s ideal to use for touch-ups come the end of the work day, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already overflowing makeup bag!”
