This bright-red organizer has a hook to keep it handy in your hotel bathroom. It comes with two 3-ounce plastic bottles to fill with your favorite shampoo and conditioner, a plastic soap holder, and plenty of room for your other toiletries. It costs $5.99 and is available at Linens ’n Things stores (telephone 866-568-7378) or online at www.lnt.com.
Your own twilight zone
It’s hard to see what’s at your feet if you can’t see where you’re going. This double-headed flashlight addresses the problem by shining one light directly ahead of you and another angled down at your feet. Its energy-efficient krypton bulbs are extra bright. Eight inches long by 1. inches wide, the flashlight costs $20 at www.redenvelope.com (or telephone 877-733-3683).
Cushy way to walk
These terry-covered flip-flops are great for protecting your feet from any problematic floors, and are comfy on sandy beaches or around the pool. Made by Mella in blue and pink, they cost $27 to $29 per pair, and can be purchased at the Splash spa at The Sports Club/LA, 4 Avery St., Boston (telephone 617-375-8580). Online they are available at www.flipfloptrunkshow.com; www.mybeautyfarm.com; www.p45.com; and www.mellausa.com.
