Large toiletry items, like shampoo bottles, take up a lot of precious suitcase space. Skip the hassle, and invest instead in TSA-approved travel containers. When you use these containers to tote your essential liquids, you'll free up room in your checked suitcase, and, at the same time, stay under the mandatory liquid limits for carry-ons.

When you're traveling, a sturdy, roomy backpack doubles as an essential carry-on and carry-all. This backpack is 16 inches tall -- that's large enough to fit most laptops, tablets and any other personal belongings. The zippers are covered by thick, water-resistant flaps, making it that much harder for water -- and pickpockets -- to get in.

The Fjallraven Kanken backpack is available in 39 colorways on Amazon (prices vary), so it's easy to find one to match your style.
