11 essential travel gadgets I'd pack this spring — here's my top deals from $8

The best way to ensure you're travelling light is to weigh what you've packed. And rather than leave it up to chance and take the hit for overweight charges, travelling with this luggage scale takes all that stress away. It's literally small enough to fit into your pocket and costs just $8. So, while it's not burdening you, it's also making sure you're confidently weighing up your luggage every single time.

This ultra-compact power bank is small, but mighty. I should know, I've got this exact one and it has saved me on several occasions. Containing enough power to charge up most phones three times, it's as small as a credit card and will slip into your luggage with ease. It's also got dual charging ports that can handle USB-C and USB-A, which makes it compatible with iPhones, iPads, Samsung, Android and more.

It's rare to catch an Apple deal, but there's $5 knocked off the price of the popular and incredibly handy AirTag right now at Amazon. You can track your valuables, your entire luggage, or even yourself and friends with this gadget. All you have to do is simply connect it to your iOS device and use the 'Find My' app. This location data will keep you safe, as well as giving your friends and family peace of mind, too.

We voted the Tribit Micro 2 the best for travelling in our best bluetooth speakers guide, and while this is its predecessor, it's still a great alternative that's also $20 off right now. With around 10 hours of battery life, it'll play out your tunes with clarity and confidence. And weighing it at just 0.65 pounds and fitting in the size of your hand, it's a perfect pocket companion for travelling with a soundtrack.

We gave this the best portable charger for iPhone spot in our best power banks guide. Why? Because it utilizes the phone's MagSafe technology, comes with an extra USB-C port to charge other gadgets at the same time, and fits incredibly snugly and compactly into your luggage and onto your phone. It's everything you want from a travel charger to make sure you're always connected.

Working with both iOS and Android, Tile's safety trackers will, like Apple AirTag, keep track of your items and you. With a phenomenal 3-year battery life, 350ft range, and an SOS button, it's a wonderful companion for your spring break trip. Plus, for just $55 you get four Tile Mate's to use, which is $13.75 per Tile. An epic deal and one I'd seriously suggest looking into.

When you're travelling in noisy airports and aboard busy planes, trains, or buses, what you really want your wireless earbuds to achieve is noise cancellation — and that's where these Beats Studio Buds + step in. With the charging case, you'll get 36 hours of use, so you can do all your travelling with music in your ears. Plus, spatial audio will make sure you're staying safe while keeping aware of your surroundings.

If you want to document your trip and make a saving, then the GoPro HERO is a pocket-sized, high-quality camera that'll capture everything in 4K. It's 35% less volume and 44% less mass than its counterpart the HERO 12, hence why I'm recommending it. Plus, it's built to endure a busy trip, so whatever fun you're having, the GoPro can ride alongside you.

If you've not already got yourself a smartwatch, investing in one for your trip might be just what you need. This superb offering from Garmin will last up to 11 days, keep you on the grid with GPS, and monitor all kinds of health data from sleep score to hydration to energy levels. That way you can keep yourself in check to make sure you're not running down your body battery to trip-ruining status.

Depending on where you're headed, you might have a lot of spare time as you go from A to B. For long distances, having a Kindle by your side instead of cumbersome books is a perfect way to travel light. I've never regretted my Kindle Paperwhite purchase. The only thing I'm regretting is I didn't get it on this awesome deal — that also comes with a wireless charging dock to last longer on your trip.

These are some of the best over-ear headphones on the market right now and finding them for a discount is a bit of a rarity — especially one of this magnitude. With over $100 off on the Cloud Gray model, you're getting 30-hours playback, enhanced ANC and crystal clear call quality. Plus, they're a super comfy fit which makes them perfect for travelling.
