Remembering to pack everything for a trip can be pretty stressful, especially if you don't have a list prepared. We *all* know that feeling of getting to your destination and realizing you've forgotten to pack something. Don't worry, whether you're traveling local or worldwide, we've got you covered so you won't make the same mistake twice. 

1. Sleep masks

Sleep masks are amazing for travel, especially if you're trying to catch some zzz's during the daytime. This sleep mask from Target is the best for blocking out sunlight. It's also made from 100% silk which is great for giving your eyes a comfy surface to rest on. 

2. Neck pillow

4. Sunscreen
