Spring break is almost here, and your vacation is calling! Whether you plan to hit the surf, slather on sunscreen, and lay on a beach blanket in the sand, or take an epic road trip with your friends, the point is to relax and have fun.

If you tend to pack more than you need for a getaway, that’s okay—outfit and shoe choices matter, don’t they? Or maybe you like to travel light and take as little as possible to get by. Whatever your packing preference, there are some critical items you should never leave home without. Before you zip that suitcase or strap on that backpack, make sure these spring break 2022 must-haves are going with you on your trip.

If you’re spending spring break at a beachside, sunny destination, sunscreen is one of the most critical items to toss in your bag. Your skin is delicate, and you must protect it from harmful UVA/UBA rays of the sun.  Banana Boat Sport Ultra Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 helps prevent sunburns and skin damage from sun exposure during outdoor activities like volleyball, hiking, or a day at the beach.

You can’t leave home without essential toiletries like makeup, deodorant, shampoo, hair products, moisturizer, and more. This exceptional  Toiletry Bag Travel Bag from BAGSMART folds up small like a purse and extends to reveal four large compartments to store all your must-haves. The convenient space-saving hook allows you to hang it on the back of the bathroom door for easy access.

It’s critical to prepare for unexpected mishaps—even on vacation. That’s why a  Mini First Aid Kit is crucial for a spring break trip. This compact first aid kit contains 110 pieces, including a CPR respirator, an emergency foil blanket, 20 cleaning swabs, sterile gauze pads, saline solution, scissors, bandages, sterile gloves, and more.

A smartphone is essential for any trip. You might need it in case of an emergency, to get GPS directions, find interesting tourist points, or translate a foreign language. But the device won’t do you any good if the battery dies. This StinkLight  iPhone Fast Charger, USB C Fast Charger quickly powers up your iPhone and is compatible with various iPhones, iPads, and Airpods.

Instead of scrambling around for a free outlet in an airport, on a bus, or when you’re in the middle of the wilderness hiking, powering your phone via a power bank like this  Anker Portable Charger 313 Power Bank (PowerCore Slim 10K) is much easier. This slim unit easily stows in your pocket, purse, or backpack. It features a standard input, C input, and USB input. It also includes overcharge protection and is compatible with multiple iPhone and Samsung devices.

The bright stripes on these  Kaufman Soft 100% Yarn Dye Cotton Oversized Beach Towels give spring break sun and sand festivities a colorful boost. They come in a six-pack, so there are plenty of towels to use as a spare or share with your friends and family members.

Hopefully, you won’t work on vacation. But you might want to document your adventure. This  Matein Travel Laptop Backpack holds your laptop, electronic devices, and accessories and keeps them secure with a hidden anti-theft rear pocket. It also features a handy built-in USB charging port and plenty of room for extra spring break essentials.

Whether you’re at the ocean, your favorite lake, or spending time at the pool, you’ll want to protect your smartphone from the water. This  Universal Waterproof Case does just that! The two-pack set features one for your phone and one for a friend or family member. The see-through cases are compatible with multiple phone models and are IPX8 certified waterproof up to 100 feet/ 30 meters.

Any adventure is better with music, and this sweet  JBL Waterproof Clip 3 Bluetooth Speaker delivers 10 hours of playtime so you can stream your favorite tunes wherever you go. The noise-canceling and wireless streaming technology deliver high-quality sound and clear communication on a call.

If you’re traveling to a foreign locale, you need to make sure you can charge and power your electronic devices. This comprehensive  Universal All in One Worldwide Travel Adapter and Power Converter from NEWVANGA provides universal worldwide charging in over 150 countries in the U.S., Europe, United Kingdom, and Australia.

Before you take off to have some spring break fun in the sun, make sure you take these essential items wherever your adventure leads.
