As a shopping writer, I’ll admit that I will take any excuse to add new items to my cart. So, when I saw that Amazon had started their Big Spring Sale discounts early (and just in time for St. Patrick’s Day weekend), I couldn’t resist doing a scan of the site to find the best deals to shop before they sell out.

Purchasing clothes is one of my favorite types of shopping to do, but with so many exciting trips on the horizon, travel accessories are also at the top of my list for the season. If you’ve been looking for some shopping inspiration to capitalize on the Amazon deals, I’ve rounded up my top 17 on-sale must-haves that you’ll feel good about snagging this weekend. Whether you’ve been on the market for a new pair of white sneakers, some reliable noise-canceling headphones, or even a new checked bag, Amazon has it all, and with prices starting as low as $13.

Travelpro Maxlite Air Hardside Expandable Medium Checked Luggage

I’ve been on the lookout for a new checked bag for a while, and now that I have several trips right around the corner, the need for a fresh piece of luggage just became slightly more urgent. Seeing as Travelpro bags are famously loved by flight attendants, this lightweight yet incredibly durable suitcase immediately caught my eye — in large part due to its under-$200 price tag. However, its sturdy polycarbonate shell is another major selling point as it is strong enough to withstand being tossed around while displaying minimal scuffs, and the bag is even designed to expand up to 2 additional inches for maximum packing space. In short, it’s perfect for an overpacker like me.

Merrell Women’s Moab 3 Waterproof Hiking Boots

Hiking is one of my favorite springtime activities, and with several designated trips planned for the year, it’s time for me to invest in a new pair of boots to take on the trails. Seeing as I was named after the brand, it’s only natural that the Merrell Moab 3 boots would be at the top of my list to shop for — and right now, they’re even on sale for a staggering 46 percent off as we head into the holiday weekend. The waterproof exterior is essential for trekking across muddy or slushy terrain (which I’m expecting to run into during a trip to Norway later this year), and they’re even made with uniquely supportive insoles that will cushion my feet with every step. 

Zesica Women’s Bohemian Flowy Midi Dress

I’m a dress gal through and through, and this darling prairie frock is the perfect addition to my spring wardrobe as I continue my quest to never wear another pair of shorts in my lifetime. The midi length of this dress is long enough to comfortably travel in or wear during a day of sightseeing without feeling restricted by a too-short hem, while the puff sleeves add stunning detail to this vacation-ready dress. I can already picture myself wearing it while frolicking around in New York City this spring, so it’s sure to become one of the most reached-for pieces in my closet when packing to travel, as well. 

Bagail Compression Packing Cubes

The day that I began storing my clothing in packing cubes while traveling was the day that my experience changed for the better, and I truly believe that compression cubes are exactly what I need to make even more space in my bag. This compact set from Bagail has earned more than 14,500 five-star ratings at Amazon which assures me that they’re worth the investment, and with four different sizes in each set, I’ll have no trouble stowing away everything from my bulkiest sweaters to delicate undergarments with ease. Best of all, they’re on sale for a mere $20 right now, meaning that each bag is just $5. 

Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones

After recently enduring a flight alongside the world’s chattiest seatmate, I’ve decided that it’s long past time to invest in a pair of noise-canceling headphones to hopefully make myself appear just slightly less approachable. Right now, this wireless pair from Sony is on sale for $100 off and boasts an impressive 30-hour battery life so I can enjoy my carefully crafted playlist even throughout an hours-long layover. Plus, they’re well-cushioned for optimal comfort, while a 10-minute charge nets an additional five hours of listening time, so I’ll never be stuck listening to unwanted chattering ever again.

Vecave Carry-On Backpack

My beloved travel backpack is unfortunately on its last leg, meaning that I need to start taking stock of my options ahead of my next trip. This spacious and durable bag from Vecave instantly caught my eye seeing as it unzips like a suitcase, offering a more organized packing experience while still allowing me to head through the airport with my hands free. A waterproof exterior will keep my belongings protected against the inevitable spring showers ahead, while it’s also small enough to slide under the seat of most commercial airlines. Not to mention that it features a built-in wet bag to store dirty laundry while you’re on the go, making the unpacking process easier than ever.

Libin Women’s Lightweight Hiking Pants

I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many comfy pants in your wardrobe, which is why these Libin hiking joggers are calling my name this weekend. Currently sitting at just $35, these lightweight outdoor pants will make the perfect addition to my suitcase during my Norway excursion later this year, and the water-resistant, breathable material only further solidifies their spot in my closet in the meantime. An elastic waistband promises full-day comfort (which means that they can also be worn as a part of your new favorite travel outfit), and they even come in 13 colorful and neutral shades (which is important to note if you’re anything like me and want to snag multiple colors).

Westbronco Fanny Pack

At just $13, I would be remiss not to add this surprisingly spacious belt bag to my shopping cart for the long weekend — especially seeing as it’s the ideal place to store all of my travel essentials while trekking through the airport. A subtle pocket at the back of the pouch is secure enough to hold onto my passport safely, while the primary compartment is large enough for a phone, wallet, keys, and other important documents. With 29 spring-ready colors to choose from, it’s safe to say that my airport look is about to get a major upgrade.

Teva Women’s Original Universal Sandals

I’m a shameless sandal collector, and it’s long overdue that I add a pair of traditional Tevas to my closet. Thankfully, the decision was made even easier by the fact that certain colors are currently on sale for as little as $35 at Amazon. These multi-functional sandals are made with cushy and contoured EVA footbeds that will effectively make every step feel like walking on a cloud, while hook and loop closures keep them firmly on my feet during walking tours, travel days, and more. And with more than 18,200 five-star ratings, it’s safe to say these sandals will never go out of style.

Dokotoo Women’s Corduroy Button-Down Shirt

Layering is the name of the game when it comes to traveling during the spring, and this casual corduroy shirt from Dokotoo is positioned to become the most valuable item in my closet this season. The simple design of the shirt means it will be easy to pair with nearly every pant option I already have tucked away in my drawers, plus it’s easy to slide on and off in accordance with the ever-changing temperature of airplane cabins. Honestly, at just $30, I’m about to pick up more than one of the 37 available colors.

Bcozzy Neck Pillow

Over the years, I’ve learned that if I want to get any sleep while traveling, I need to have a sturdy neck pillow in tow that will keep my head from bobbing around while I’m dozing. My current pillow is a flimsy little thing that I picked up at the last minute in the airport several years ago, which means that it’s certainly time for an upgrade, and this Bcozzy option fits the bill. The wrapable design will provide exceptional support for my head, neck, and chin during the longest of flights, plus it’s available in several different sizes so, rest assured, I’ll be able to find my perfect fit. Best of all, this memory foam pillow is completely machine washable.

Altra Women’s Rivera 3 Running Shoes

While running shoes are excellent for, well, running, they’re also an incredibly important piece of any good packing list for active travelers. These sleek and highly-cushioned sneakers from Altra caught my attention thanks to their thoughtful design that absorbs impact and makes for a comfier day of sightseeing, so I know that these sneakers will have two roles throughout my trip: outfitting walking tours and my morning jog. It certainly doesn’t hurt that they’re on sale for a whopping 48 percent off right now. 

S-Zone Carry-On Weekender Bag

There are certain scenarios in which it doesn’t make sense to bring a full rolling suitcase on your vacation, and a weekend getaway is one of them. So, that’s exactly why I’ve been contemplating snatching up the S-Zone Carry-On Weekender Bag, and now that it’s on sale for 44 percent off, I’m sold. The lightweight design makes it easy to pack to the brim without weighing me down, while leather detailing alongside sturdy rivets add simple touches that ensure this bag is built to last for years to come. Plus, it’s the perfect size to bring along as your carry-on tote if you prefer a weekender to a rolling bag in general.

Apple AirTag

If I’m going to check a bag, you can rest assured that I will not do so unless there’s an Apple AirTag firmly tucked inside. Right now, the shopper-loved device is on sale at Amazon for a mere $24 (unfortunately the four-pack is currently out of stock), and is the simplest way to maintain peace of mind that you’ll always know where your belongings are — even from your flight. Not to mention that when you’re not traveling with your AirTag, you can simply place it inside of your favorite purse or onto your key ring to make sure that your belongings will never go missing for long. 

Reebok Women’s Club C 85 Vintage Walking Shoes

You can never go wrong with adding a solid white sneaker to your repertoire, and my pick for spring is the Reebok Women’s Club C 85 shoes, which are now on sale for $70 and are guaranteed to add an effortlessly cool air to any outfit you pair them with. The leather exterior is durable enough to wear during long walking days without getting run down, while supportive midsoles are built to absorb shock for a more comfortable day spent on your feet. Trends may come and go, but these white shoes will be in style forever.

Peak Gear Nylon Crossbody Purse

I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t afraid of being pickpocketed while traveling, and while I can’t entirely eliminate that threat, an anti-theft purse will certainly provide me with some peace of mind. This nylon bag from Peak Gear is made with several sneaky, spacious pockets to safely store my essentials, while a handy RFID-blocking pocket is the ideal spot for my cards and ID to keep electronic theft at bay. Best of all, the crossbody design is a surefire way to keep the bag safely attached to my body.

Nfsion Women’s Casual Sleeveless Jumpsuit

It’s difficult to strike the balance between comfort and style when getting dressed for the airport, but that’s exactly why this stunning jumpsuit from Nfision is a must-buy during this long weekend sale. The flowing, relaxed fit will never leave me feeling restricted after long hours of sitting, however, the sleek and flattering fit of this piece means that it can be easily dressed up or down, upping its value in my suitcase. It’s an excellent base layer for spring under cozy sweaters and lightweight jackets, and after seeing that there are 15 colors to choose from, I may just have to snatch up more than one while they’re on sale for $25.
