Amazon Favorites | Travel Chargers that Are Fast!

September 4, 2024 Jaine Kershner

For this month’s September Amazon Favorites, I wanted to share what I’ve purchased for when I travel for destination weddings including the best travel charger for wedding photographers. Let’s jump right in…

The BEST Travel Charger - I have been looking for a small travel charger to bring with me that will charge my Macbook Pro and iPhone at the same time in record time and boy, I think I found it. The MINIX NEO P3 100W Turbo 4-Ports GaN Wall Charger is incredible and will fully re-charge my depleted MacBook in under an HOUR. Yes, I’m not kidding! I love that it has a very small footprint in my travel gear AND I can use it internationally as well. It’s a MUST have in my book!

Travel Electronic Cable Organizer - I finally found a nice-looking travel case to organize my cables, cords, chargers, hard drives, and adapters. This one from FYY on Amazon is perfect for me. I was carrying two pouches before I found this cute little guy online AND it comes in many wonderful colors. Highly Recommend!

The Smallest Sound Machine - Ever since the birth of my daughter, I cannot sleep without a sound machine. I used to use my cellphone throughout the night but worried I’d drain the battery and end up with a dead phone. I saw this Mini Sound Machine from Babelio, I KNEW I instantly had to add it to my cart. It’s wonderful and so tiny! It doesn’t take up any space in my travel kit and is USB-C chargeable. It has 15 different sounds but I prefer the white noise the best.

Best Makeup Remover - I wear waterproof mascara (this one is my fave) every single day. I do not want to have raccoon eyes EVER at the end of a wedding day so waterproof was my solution. I needed a way to take off my makeup without tugging at my undereye skin, which is very sensitive. No Crow’s feet, please! I have been using Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water for the last 4 years and truly cannot use anything else. It’s on my subscribe and save too!

Additional Power Outlets - Ever walk into a hotel room or AirBnB and wish you had more power outlets? yeah, me too! So I decided to bring my own each time I travel now. I love these 3-way Flat Wall Power extender AC adapters. They come in a pack of 3 - which kind of feels like a steal. I keep one in my Travel Electronic Cable Organizer Case at all times.
