Summer travel season is upon us, so here's to hoping you have an exciting getaway planned in the coming months. Whether you're flying halfway around the world or staying a bit closer to home, a strategically packed bag will help you start your trip on the right foot. Of course, you'll need reliable luggage and smart travel gadgets, but that's not all. How about comfy kicks for navigating the airport or exploring a new city? Fab shades to block the sun while you're at the beach or the pool?

If you need a little help deciding what's worth the investment, take a cue from celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Pamela Anderson. Below, we've rounded up a few of their travel must-haves, and they're all under $100.

Follow in Jennifer Aniston's stylish footsteps and snag these European-chic Superga sneakers for strolling through the airport and so much more. The simple design means they pair well with lots of different outfits, and the size range is impressive. Choose from sizes 4 to 12.5 in more than 20 colors.

"Perfect basic white sneakers," a reviewer declared. "I love these shoes so much. They are my go-to all spring, summer and fall. I have purchased the exact same shoe multiple times. They look great with pants, skirts and shorts and match with so many things. They fit true to size and are comfortable to walk in all day."

"I love this candle," Jennifer Lopez revealed in a Vogue video. "I take it everywhere I go, when I go traveling on the road to hotel rooms. It's kind of a signature scent for me."

Described as an "aristocratic scent" with "spicy, leathery and musky notes," Santal 26 has also captivated plenty of shoppers. "Wonderful candle," one Nordstrom reviewer declared. "[It has a] lovely gender-neutral scent of light wood, not too perfume-y, with a subtle hint of spice. I keep one in my bedroom." 

Another loyal lighter shared, "I've bought at least 10 of these candles in the last five years. It's been my go-to signature home scent."

Sure, Beyoncé can afford any designer sunglasses she wants, but she opted for this affordable Le Specs pair while on a tropical getaway back in 2024. The singer's black frames are a smart investment, but there are other fun colors to choose from, including timeless tortoise.

The unisex style features scratch-resistant lenses, and the lightweight frame won't weigh down your ears or nose. More than 200 shoppers have given them five stars, praising their versatility and comfort.

The Nizza sneakers didn't make it onto Drew Barrymore's packing list just for being cute. It turns out that their chunky soles are actually hiding an EVA sock liner that feels like memory foam, making them perfect for all-day walking, whether you're exploring a new city or just getting your steps in. These canvas lace-ups are undeniably adorable and timeless. Pair them with jeans, leggings, joggers, shorts, dresses — anything!

"Cutest and most comfortable platform sneakers!" one fan raved. "I'm so happy that I purchased these for my Europe trip. They are not only cute but so comfortable, supportive, and a great price!"

Gearing up for a warm-weather getaway with lots of lazy beach days on the itinerary? Grab this affordable straw stunner that Kyle Richards called "amazing" on Instagram. It's spacious enough to fit a pair of flip-flops, shades, sunscreen and a book — basically, all of your waterfront essentials.

Like Richards, shoppers on Amazon have lots of sunny things to say about this tote. "This purse is deceptive. It holds a lot for its size! Great for summer," one fan noted. And another added, "I got many compliments on this purse and really enjoyed it. It is lightweight, which means a lot to me as I get older."

Spotted in one of Pamela Anderson's Instagram posts from a trip to Rome (and seen in her Instagram story, according to Glamour), this hydrating lip balm appears to be one of the actress' beauty go-tos. (It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise — she is one of Sonsie's co-founders.)

If you're new to the skin-care brand, Sonsie is all about "mindful, minimal skin care." Says Anderson on the brand's website: "Through many years of trial and error … I have found that simplicity and accepting all that we are is the key to an effective skin-care and beauty routine."

Sonsie's Basic Balm is a vegan and cruelty-free formula that can soften your lips and lock in moisture. It's formulated with squalene to hydrate lips, while the included sunflower seed wax gives you that shiny, gloss-like finish.

As a Birkenstock diehard myself, I immediately recognized the low-profile sandal in this pic on Salma Hayek's Instagram page. Sure, the Arizona is probably more popular these days, but there's something very chic and elevated about the minimalist design of Hayek's pick.

While Hayek's traditional leather Birk Gizehs are usually over $100, you can snag the EVA version of the sandal for half that — and it's hard to beat the washable, waterproof material for practical fun in the sun.

Jennifer Garner has a sweet tooth just like the rest of us, so it wasn't surprising to see her pull not one, but two packs of Smart Sweets out of her bag in this video. Designed to satisfy cravings without all the calories, these tasty bites only have 3 grams of sugar per pack and are made without any artificial sweeteners. They're also gluten-free and vegan.

"I used to truly be addicted to candy, like I would run to the store to get my gummy sugar sour patch fix 10 minutes away when cravings hit. I found these at local retailers and gave them a try. My first and favorite was the peach rings. I still absolutely love them. They're all so good. They taste really true to the candy they're supposed to replicate," one snacker shared

Another wrote, "Bought these for a guilty pleasure to have while making some lifestyle changes with food. Great taste and texture without all the guilt."

Courteney Cox's Homecourt line includes lots of yummy-smelling laundry essentials, but there's also this gorgeous perfume oil that the actress calls her "favorite thing."

With notes of coconut water, cedarwood, vetiver and sweet cardamom, the scent is designed to remind you of walking on a beach at sunset. 

"It smells so good," Cox says about the fragrance. "And I like the fact that it's gorgeous and it's small so you can take it places." (Like on vacation, of course!)

Like the rest of us, Eva Longoria loves a casual, comfy shoe when vacationing. In 2023, she was spotted wearing these Allbirds kicks while exploring Spain. She's not the only famous fan who adores the brand — Ina Garten also owns a pair, and says they're "incredibly comfortable." We suggest snagging a pair in white that'll match everything in your closet.

"Life-changing for bunion sufferers," one now-comfy customer shared. "I ... deal with daily foot pain. These shoes are a real help to me. I am 15 years into my career as a teacher, which requires that I’m on my feet most of the day. I haven't tried these for athletic use, but I can attest to their comfort through the workday. I find myself reaching for them and planning outfits around them at least a couple days a week, (and) they wash well in the washing machine."
