Although the name might be slightly deceiving, Amazon Prime Day is happening this week.

Whether you're looking to stock up on household items, invest in some new skincare or make up, or maybe even get a good deal on some bigger items like airfryers or coffee machines, this could be the perfect excuse.

You could be easily fooled by the event name, and under the impression that Amazon Prime Day is just one day, but it is actually an online sale celebration that takes place over almost a full week. Beginning tomorrow Tuesday July 16 and running until July 21, exclusive deals, including free shipping, are available to Amazon Prime members.

For any avid travellers, Amazon Prime Day is the ideal time to invest in a number of items that would make your travel experience more enjoyable, and smoother.

Here are the top items recommended by the List Team for anyone travelling this summer:

Apple Air Tags

I'm not sure I would be able to travel without Apple Air Tags any more. Pair these tracking tags with your iPhone and pop them into any piece of luggage you own, its a great way to keep track of your belongings. I always add one to my check-in luggage, and love to have one in my backpack and any other hand luggage too. When travelling for work, I also find its really handy to pop a tag in my laptop case too. Not only does it bring peace of mind, but it also allows for easy tracking should any go missing en-route, or not arrive on time.

Compression Socks

Sitting for long periods during flights or car rides can restrict blood flow in your legs, leading to swollen ankles and general discomfort, leaving your legs feeling tired and achy. Compression socks apply gentle pressure to the lower legs, helping your blood circulate more efficiently and reducing swelling. (Always check with your doctor first)

Multi-Destination Travel Adapter

Recommended by Tarek

There is nothing worse than arriving to a new destination, and none of your appliances fit into the plug sockets... A multi-destination travel adapter is a boring but truly necessary travel accessory. Not only ideal for your final destination, but also really helpful if you have any stop overs or long lay overs in foreign airports.

On-the-go Stain Remover

Tide To Go Pen via Tide.com

Recommended by Olivia

For me, traveling often means unexpected spills and stains, especially on my summery, light-coloured clothes. For several years now, a Tide to Go pen has been a travel essential that I just can't live without, because it allows you to tackle small mishaps on the spot, keeping your outfits fresh and ready for the next adventure - which is needed when you're restricted to what fits in your suitcase. This tiny pen packs a powerful punch, saving you from the stress of ruined clothes and ensuring you look your best throughout your trip - and best of all it fits easily in back pocket or handbag, ready to be pulled out when needed.

Portable Power Bank

As social media manager, running out of juice on my phone is not an option. In my opinion there is nothing worse than that dreaded low-battery notification, and with this in mind a portable charger, also known as a power bank, is my travel hero. Most people have one of these now, but it should definitely be on your travel check list - and make sure to fully charge the power bank before you leave home!

You've seen this one all over your TikTok FYP, and the hype is real. This high-tech bluetooth adapter allows you to use your favourite headphones or earphones on your flight. Forget the awful plane headphones, you'll be able to use those AirPod Pros to watch your favourite movie, and what's even better? This means you'll be able to use the noise cancelling functions. *cries with happiness*

Tower 28 Daily Facial Mist

Tower 28 Daily facial mist

Recommended by Lynda

Your skin can suffer with long haul travel, and a change of environment - from the heat to humidity, and even environmental pollution. A recent addition to my must-have travel skincare regime is Tower 28's SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. This mist, formulated with hypochlorous acid and it has been developed to soothe and calm angry or blemish-prone skin. Super gentle and suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin, a spritz of this throughout the day or during you flight will leave your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated, and will ward off any potential travel outbreaks.

A Multi-Outlet Extension Cord

Recommended by Robert

Hotels living is great fun until the unavoidable struggle to find enough outlets rears its head... That's why a small, multi-outlet extension cord is my travel must-have. It's a lifesaver for the bedside table, ensuring that you can charge all your devices overnight; phone, camera, earphones and fitness watch. No more fighting for space! And forget the "morning scramble" at the vanity dresser, plug in your hairdryer, straightener, and even your electric toothbrush – all at once – and get ready for the day with ease.
