It’s vacation time! Excited? You’ve already got your plans locked in and now you’re probably just crazy with anticipation. Still, there are a few essential items you need to pick up before you can take off. InStyle.com curated a check-off list of 20 Travel Must-Haves. Ever been jealous of the girl who packed early and seemed to bring every essential known to man? Take this as a reminder of items to buy before boarding and avoid having to borrow her brush for the thousandth time. A few of our favorites from the list below.

A non-iPod

Leave the iPod, iPad or whatever swanky and incredibly expensive device in your use right now at home. If you don’t want to risk having it get lost, damaged or stolen, we suggest taking the smart route and cranking your playlist to something that’s a little cheaper. Geeks, $15.

Messenger Bag

You can sling this messenger bag across your body while keeping all of your items together. That includes dangling change, room keys, and that map you keep misplacing. Liz Claiborne, $10.

Body Wipes

As an essential item should be small and easy to use while traveling. A long flight from coast to coast will result in discomfort and unwanted sweat build up. The best way to ward off the glands is by giving your skin the periodic swipe. Herban Essentials, 20 for $15.

Passport Cover

Seriously, how cute are these? Allow your passport to brave the elements in style. When you touch down back in the states and flash this vibrant case they’ll know you’ve been somewhere exotic.  satinbox.com, $20.

Ballet Flats

These adorable silver flats make traveling light and fun. They’re so convenient you can roll them up and stick them in a tiny side pocket. Clunky footwear is no longer required. Target, $10.
