I've been in the market for a new portable charger, so when I saw this Blijab option was on sale, it caught my attention. The slim, compact size will fit perfectly in a small purse, and it even has the charging cords for different devices built-in, so you don't have to pack those separately. Not only can you charge five devices at a time, but it will also alert you when the battery pack needs to be recharged.

Contigo Autoseal Stainless Steel Travel Water Bottles, Two-Pack
Staying hydrated is super important, which is why I always have a travel water bottle with me everywhere I go. I plan on stocking up on this two-pack of Contigo options while it's marked down because they use a double-walled insulation system to keep cold drinks chilled for up to 28 hours. What's more, the dishwasher-safe lid has an auto-seal button that keeps the mouthpiece closed, so you can throw it in a bag without worrying about any leaks. With smart details like that, it's no wonder more than 31,000 shoppers have given the flasks their seal of approval.

Ninja Foodie 5-in-1 Indoor Grill
I love cooking food on the grill, especially in the summer, but living in an apartment doesn't make it possible for me to have an outdoor grill. That's why I plan on snapping up this Ninja indoor grill while it's on sale, so I can make my favorite BBQ foods inside. The handy device also works as an air fryer, dehydrator, roaster, and baking appliance, meaning you get five kitchen appliances for the price of one. Customers also say the compact indoor grill is a great item to use on car camping trips, since you can get so many uses out of it.

I'm always on the hunt for comfortable sneakers, and this popular pair by Lamincoa caught my eye — especially now that they are nearly half off. In addition to a non-slip outsole that provides excellent traction, the walking shoes also boast a cushioned foam insole that has moisture-wicking capabilities to keep your feet cool and dry. The sneakers are also super lightweight and breathable, thanks to their mesh knit upper.

I wear sunscreen on my face all year round, so whenever I see one of my go-to brands on sale, I make sure to stock up.

My current toiletry bottles have been looking a little worse for wear, which is why I'm using this early Prime Day deal on these Teapile bottles as an excuse to get a new set.

The travel set also comes with a clear carrying case that's big enough to hold all the bottles, so you can store them all in one place.

I hate when my blankets and towels get super sandy at the beach, so I finally plan on investing in this Popchose sand-free blanket while it's only $20. Not only is it sand- and water-resistant, but the beach accessory also has five sand pockets built-in to weigh it down and prevent it from getting blown away in the wind. It's big enough for four people to sit on, and it folds up into a small compact size that's easy to carry.

The nylon, spandex blend material is soft, stretchy, and moisture-wicking. The best part? There are two hidden side pockets on the shorts underneath — a perfect place to stash my phone, valuables, and even tennis balls.
