$57 Inateck 20L backpack (for personal size flight dimensions) One drawback is that the exterior water bottle sleeve is too tight for large bottles, but good size for collapsible umbrella. I'm using the Felipe Varela toiletry bag, and two Vorspack toiletry bags below to fill it as packing cubes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8SYYQ2P
$20 Felipe Varela foldable Duffle Bag (40L, 60L, 85L, 115L. with toiletry pouch). This is pretty thin material and I'm not sure it would survive many checked bag trips but it folds down into a self-contained zipped up form, and the additional toiletry pouch is one I use a lot as the lightest one I have.
$20 Bagail compression cubes (4 or 6 set, mesh or solid) for carry on or checked bag. Much less expensive than other compression sets. These are unstructured and light, so the benefit of the 'compression' zipper is more about organizing and holding the mass from moving more than it is about actually compressing clothes (that you'd be able to compress by pushing your luggage down anyway). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081JSFHZK
$13 Vorspack toiletry bag - multiple sections and pockets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3WY2N53
$9 Vorspack toiletry bag - one large compartment. This is my favorite storage bag because of the wide base is self-standing and the volume (10" long, about 3L) stores a lot. I use the organza bags below as my micro packing cubes in this bag. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NCD92ZM
$14 "TSA Approved" clear quarter toiletry pouches (5). The zippers on these are nice and I like that they are self-standing so I've used a bunch of these for organizing my bathroom and tools closet shelves. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085QMV3LQ
$10 Mesh Zipper Pouch bags (24 in 8 different sizes). I like these over ziplock bags because of the sizes and the stiffer plastic keeps the smaller ones from folding over what's inside, even though they are less see-through than ziplocks. I've been using these a lot. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CC67GJSK
$6 Organza bags (50 4"x6" and other sizes) These are super lightweight and see through, so I use them to combine toiletries (travel toothpaste, travel toothbrush, and floss) or tech (headphones). The drawstring works surprisingly well. Not incredibly durable (I had two out of the 50 break a seam) but easily replicable. I'm using a bunch of these for foreign coin collection without any issue. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXP9TVBD
$20 Magnetic Dry Erase Whiteboard (18" x 24") I stuck this on my closet mirrored door to map out some of the quarterly events over the next five years I posted about a month or so ago. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSXHNM6Z
$14 Mini foldable fan. Folds for both handheld and self-standing. I haven't tested out the battery life but it's compact for cases where a room is stuffy and I just want a little breeze. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097BJKSHM
$30 Treva (previously O2COOL) 10" box fan. Maybe pricy compared to other fans but it's pretty quiet and pushes the right amount of air for low or high speed. D batteries or included AC adaptor power plug. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ATSHMIQ
$17 BESIGN LS10 adjustable laptop stand. I went too long without having one of these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097BJKSHM
$13 Anker Nano USB C GaN 30W foldable wall charger. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2MM1W65
$68 AOHI 140W USB GaN USB C/C/A foldable wall charger. Heavy weight, but it can charge a laptop and other devices simultaneously. https://www.amazon.com/AOHI-Magcube-Charger-MacBook-Foldable/dp/B0C4GWH7KL
$10 INIU USB C to C 240W 6ft cable (2). Overkill on the power to ensure fast laptop charging. The threaded cable is nice. https://www.amazon.com/INIU-Charging-Charger-Braided-Samsung/dp/B0C2V1512F
$27 Anker USB C to C 100W/8k 2ft Thunderbolt cable. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Thunderbolt-Supports-Transfer-Certified/dp/B095KSL2B9
$17 Darn Tough Run Coolmax low height socks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWW371C
$18 Smartwool Run Zero Cushion Low Ankle socks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQ3V71XZ
both are super comfortable but I'd give the edge to Darn Tough.
$28 iHealth Track Smart Upper Arm Blood Pressure monitor. At a 4.4 rating there might be better ones available but this works fine and is easy to read. I've had some fun making family members try it out at the same time to see who could get the lowest number, and it actually alerted my brother to an issue he's now being treated for. Everyone should have and use one between doctor visits. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C5QS1T8
$16 Haokry cordless hair clippers. Nice and light, holds the charge well. Charges with an included micro (1/8"?) AC adaptor power plug. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SB4VCMQ
