Not just cute. Actually useful.
We’ve all been there, doom-scrolling through your FYP at 11:37pm thinking, "Do I need that foldable gadget everyone’s obsessed with?" The answer? Sometimes yes. Sometimes... absolutely not.
But at Allies of Travel, we’re all about cutting through the clutter. We’ve done the testing, the trial runs, and yes, the slightly chaotic last-minute packing. These six TikTok-viral trending travel products are not just pretty to look at, they actually earn their place in your suitcase.
Let’s get into it.
Biodance Bio Collagen-Real Deep Mask
Why Allies Love It
The in-flight glow-up you didn’t know you needed. These viral sheet masks from Biodance are our long-haul lifesavers. Deep hydration, visible plumping, and pore-refining goodness in one ultra-luxurious sheet. Whether you’re fresh off a red-eye or heading straight to a wedding, these clinically tested, EWG-verified masks are your glow-to secret weapon.
Apply once cruising altitude is reached and nap while it works its magic. Your skin will thank you at baggage claim.
Rae’s Verdict
These masks are that girl. I wore one halfway through a 10-hour flight to Orlando and woke up dewy, plump, and looking suspiciously well-rested considering I’d just endured Heathrow. I won’t fly long-haul without them now. They’re skincare meets self-care. Top Tip: don't attempt the dupe loves. It's the real-deal or nothing for me.
Pink Flamingo Pool Float – Inflatable, Iconic, and Extra in the Best Way
Why Allies Love It
No poolside photo dump is complete without her. The Pink Flamingo Pool Float is the ultimate TikTok-approved summer accessory. Oversized, Insta-friendly, and unapologetically extra. Whether you're floating in Mykonos or sunbathing in your mate’s paddling pool, this flamingo brings main character energy to any setting.
Details Worth Knowing
Large enough to lounge on, small enough to fit in your suitcase
Size: 1.78 x 1.35m. Yes, she’s got presence
Where It Belongs
Poolside in Ibiza. Lakeside in the Cotswolds. Rooftop hotel pool in Barcelona. Or, you know, your friend’s garden party with three paddling pools and a speaker blasting 2007 Rihanna.
If you’re going to float, do it fabulously.
LED Travel Mirror – Portable & Rechargeable
Why Allies Love It
This isn’t your average compact mirror. The LED Travel Mirror is ultra-thin, folds down flat, and lights you up like your own personal backstage moment.
With three colour light modes (cool, warm, and natural), 72 dimmable LEDs, and USB rechargeability, it’s made for hotel touch-ups, on-the-go glam, or just checking your SPF reapplication in an Uber.
Rae’s Verdict
Listen, if you’ve ever tried to do your makeup in a badly lit airport lounge loo, this mirror is your redemption arc. It gives ‘main character energy’ even when you’ve had two hours’ sleep and a croissant for dinner.
360° Rotating Phone Holder – Foldable & Clip-On
Why Allies Love It
No more wrist cramps or awkward arm balancing acts. This 360° phone holder clips onto airplane trays, car seat pockets, or even your hotel bedside table. It folds flat, rotates fully, and works with every phone size. Whether you’re bingeing Bridgerton or FaceTiming your dog back home, this gadget brings comfort to your content.
Features We Love:
360° rotation (vertical or horizontal)
Sturdy clip for secure grip in-flight or on the road
Fits in your handbag (or even your coat pocket)
Rae’s Verdict
I once tried to hold my phone between two Pringles cans to watch Netflix on a flight. Never again. This clip? A game-changer.
Compression Packing Cubes (6pc Set)
Why Allies Love It
Packing cubes are no longer just an organised traveller’s secret, they’re a full-on packing revolution. These Compression Cubes help you pack more while keeping things neat. Think: five outfits in one cube and room left over for that emergency beach kaftan you forgot you impulse-bought.
Why They’re a Vibe:
Compress bulkier clothes to save space
Easy-to-clean, lightweight, and durable
Perfect for overpackers (aka all of us)
Keeps outfits sorted, even after a mid-trip panic unpack
Rae’s Verdict
I used to be a sit-on-the-suitcase-and-hope-for-the-best kinda girl. These cubes changed the game. You’ll feel like an actual adult with your packing life together… even if you still pack 3 pairs of sandals for a weekend away.
Flight-Approved Travel Backpack with USB Charging Port
Why Allies Love It
This is the backpack you take when you don’t want to look like a tourist, but still need the functionality of one. It’s sleek, structured, fits under the seat, and comes with a laptop sleeve, USB charging port, adjustable straps, and a trolley sleeve to slip over your suitcase handle like a dream.
Why You’ll Rate It:
Cabin-sized and carry-on compliant
Charge your phone mid-adventure
Ideal for digital nomads, weekenders, or anyone planning a cheeky WFH-from-Bali moment
Rae’s Verdict
You know when you find a backpack that doesn’t ruin your outfit, fits your laptop, and doesn’t kill your shoulders? This is it. I even used it as my personal item for a 4-day trip. Everything fit. It’s giving Mary Poppins.
