26. An overnight bag full of clever features for travel

O.G. 2 Large Overnight Travel Bag, available at Lo & Sons, $338

The O.G. Overnight Bag is my go-to personal item on flights. Its suitcase-handle sleeve is a game-changer and inside are some even cooler features, like a padded laptop sleeve, a separate shoe compartment, and tons of pockets for organizing all my odds and ends.

It also comes with a messenger strap for easy and comfortable carrying across your body or over your shoulder, and it's made of a durable and water-resistant nylon, so there's no need to worry about it being ruined by coffee spills or bad weather.

Similarly, the Edgemont Convertible Backpack Tote is my ideal work-to-gym bag; it fits all the essentials for both purposes, but still manages to feel fairly light and very comfortable on my back or shoulder. —Ellen Hoffman, director of content strategy
