Essentials for the vacation

The coastal grandmother trend is taking over the summer fashion scene, and Old Navy's long-sleeve shirt is one piece of clothing you can buy to make the trend yours. The shirt is soft and the "better-than-his" button-down that you need for your vacation, according to the brand. Glazer sees the top as a classic wardrobe must-have whether she is traveling for business or pleasure.
Bumkins Wet/Dry Bag Hearts
Bumkins' wet and dry bag elevates beach bag technology with two zipper compartments that separate wet and dry items using waterproof fabric and heat-sealed seams, the brand shares. Whether you are carrying a wet swimsuit or your little one's pool toys, this bag can keep those dripping items secure in one compartment, while organizing your dry belongings in the other. Glazer loves the product's ability to snap onto a suitcase or stroller.
Portable Mini Refillable Perfume Atomizer Bottle
Glazer doesn't waste an ounce of her favorite fragrance when she travels with these portable perfume bottles that keep her perfume safe, portable and TSA-approved. Since the container is made of high-quality aluminum and durable glass, you can take a broken perfume bottle off your worry list.
Rechargeable Travel Makeup Vanity Mirror with 72 Led Lights
A reliable mirror is a necessity to create your sun-kissed vacation glow. However, Glazer says most bathrooms aren't designed with beauty in mind. This affordable travel makeup mirror has 72 LED lights that can glow in white, warm and cool settings. Now you can do your makeup anywhere and everywhere.
Apple - AirTag (4-Pack) - Silver

Unidapt Universal Travel Adapter
Whether you have a lot of devices to charge or need to convert to a foreign outlet, this universal travel adapter will satisfy your charging needs while fitting in thr palm of your hands, according to Glazer. In addition to including five USB ports, the adapter can charge devices in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, the brand shares.
