Spring is here! It’s breezy, sunny, and warm enough to enjoy everything from the mountains and forests to the beaches or farms. And while it’s the perfect time to start planning the next couple of months’ worth of vacations—from weekend getaways to long holidays—it’s also important to start stocking up on everything you need a little in advance (because we want to avoid last minute errands, correct?).

This list is almost as important as planning your itinerary or booking your tickets. Oh, and the best part is that they’re all packed in tiny bottles that are designed to not take up too much space in your carry-on bag—ergo no airport security restrictions.
