I have to admit: I spend way too much money on Amazon, even though I try to encourage the local economy when possible. That said, Amazon Canada is a gold mine for finding specific products, and it saves me valuable time instead of going to crowded stores. And if there’s one type of product that I love ordering on this platform, it’s travel essentials, because we’re always a little all over the place when leaving for the airport.

Brita Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Built-in Filter
Brita Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Filter.
Amazon Canada
Discount: 30% ($12)
Sale price: $27.99 (39,99 $)
This bottle, available in charcoal gray or pale pink, is perfect for those who want an ecological and economical solution. We tend to forget how spoiled we are in Quebec with our free drinking water! The filter is integrated into the straw, allowing you to drink filtered water anywhere. It can hold 591 ml and keeps water cold for 24 hours thanks to its double insulation. It’s not the lightest, as it weighs around 1.1 lbs empty, but it is waterproof, and its format allows it to be inserted into cup holders, making it easy to carry anywhere.
Personally, I paid $40 for it, and even at that price, I found it to be a great investment. With a $12 discount, I recommend adding it to your cart without hesitation!

2 in 1 Travel Pillow/Blanket
EverSnug Travel Blanket and Pillow.
Amazon Canada
Discount: 36% ($16)
Sale price: $27.95 (43,95 $)
When you fly, it’s hard to feel good. You never know if you’re going to be hot or if you’re going to be frozen during the flight, and if you’re going to be able to find comfort or not. This super soft microplush blanket can open fully, measuring 65 inches long and 40 inches wide, and keep you warm throughout the flight, or fold up to convert into a cozy pillow. I love that the product has a carabiner, allowing me to attach it to the top of my backpack and carry it easily.
You can then use it as a blanket at your destination, or even as a pillow at the beach, and it’s easily washable. In short, a favorite for me, available at a discount in black, gray, pink or blue.

Expandable Compression Packing Cubes
Expandable compression packing cubes for suitcases.
Amazon Canada
Discount: 16% ($6.08)
Sale price: $31.91 (37,99 $)
Packing, especially for a long trip, can get chaotic. Although I’m a big fan of vacuum storage bags that help remove all the air and compress clothes, I find that the option can be less practical to use in some cases, especially if you don’t have different formats.
This 8-piece set includes 5 cubes of different sizes, a laundry bag and a shoe bag, allowing you to efficiently store and compress your clothes while letting them breathe thanks to the mesh design.
I admit I was impressed with how much clothing can fit in it, although I also use a vacuum storage bag for my jackets and coats, as the larger cubes in this set can’t hold any a lot. According to Amazon, these cubes save 60% space thanks to the double zipper.
When traveling, I also find it very practical for separating clean laundry from dirty laundry without everything getting scattered.

Vacuum storage bags
Vacuum storage bags.
Amazon Canada
Discount: 25% ($6.88)
Sale price: $20.64 (27,52 $)
After having mentioned them above, they must be in the list. Good compression bags are always practical, especially for large items like fleece jackets, denim jackets, pants or sweatshirts which take up a ridiculous amount of space.
I have to admit: I don’t exactly own this model. I bought mine almost 10 years ago, and they are still in excellent condition after traveling to four continents. Nonetheless, these, measuring 48 by 32 inches, seem to offer good value for money, being sold in sets of four.

Travel toiletry bag with a hanging hook
Travel toiletry bag with a hanging hook.
Amazon Canada
Discount: 20% ($5)
Sale price: $19.99 (24,99 $)
You probably don’t need me to understand the usefulness of a good toiletry bag when you travel. This one is my favorite because it’s quite spacious, allowing you to store large items like your shampoo (standard size), skin care products, and even a hairbrush or makeup.
Although Amazon says it’s “perfect for trips of around seven days,” I confirm that it can hold enough products for much longer getaways. The built-in sturdy metal hook makes it easy to hang on a towel bar, which comes in handy in tight spaces.

They are also very practical for water activities, such as paddleboard or kayaking, or even to keep your valuable documents safe from water during backpacking trips.

Ensemble de type « lounge wear »
2 piece set. Casual style tracksuit.
Amazon Canada
Discount: 24% ($15.55)
Sale price: $48.44 (63,99 $)
I have long searched for the perfect set of typelounge wear which will offer comfort and elegance to take the plane, and this kit which makes the buzz on TikTok is completely worth the expense.
This set, made from 48% viscose, 46% polyester and 6% elastane, is surprisingly soft. The fabric is thick and quality, offering a fairly clean style even if you are “soft”. The top can easily be tied at the shoulders for a more stylish look. preppyand used when traveling while the neat looking textile makes it versatile.
The only downside to note, in my opinion, is that the pants are not very long. It’s perfect for someone 5’2 to 5’6, but will be a little short for those who are taller if worn at the waist (not dropped at the waist).
