Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Amazon almost always has Prime Day deals on their own products. If you don't already own a Kindle but are in the market for an e-reader, this is a great opportunity to pick one up at a discount.
The Kindle Paperwhite has a larger, higher-resolution display with a built-in adjustable light. Even better is that this generation is now fully waterproof, with a bigger display and 2x the storage as older models. It's normally $149.99, so you can save $15 by picking this up today!
Even if you swear you need a physical copy to read, travelers should give this deal a long, hard look. I'm a Kindle Paperwhite convert, and this $134.99 price is lower than we've seen in a while.

EPICKA Universal Power Travel Adapter
Long gone are the days when you needed a four-piece system to stay plugged in across the globe. There are plenty of single-unit options that allow you to charge your devices no matter where you rest your head. Our favorite is the EPICKA Universal Power Travel adapter, a compact cube that offers not just a power port, but four USB ports as well – plus even a fast-charging USB-C slot.
Unless if you’re traveling with heavy-duty electronics, this can be the one-and-done solution for staying powered up on international travels. It's the one I have in my bag at all times.
