15 Things Not to Buy During Amazon's Cyber Monday Sale-and What to Shop Instead, From $10

"Every year, Cyber Monday presents the best opportunity to stock up on the travel gear you've been eyeing over the last 12 months, much of it now available at a significant discount. But while there are countless deals that are absolutely worth taking advantage of during this seasonal sale, there are also items better left behind so as to not add clutter to your packing list."

"you should leave the standard bags on the shelf, and instead opt for a compressive option. This set of six pouches from Bagail will save up to 40 percent more space in your suitcase in comparison to standard packing cubes (according to the brand), and you'll even receive a number of bags in different sizes so you can pack everything from delicates to bulky sweaters."

Cyber Monday offers deep discounts on travel gear, but some purchases add unnecessary clutter. Standard packing cubes waste space compared with compression packing cubes, which can save up to 40 percent more room and include multiple sizes for delicates and bulky items. Compression cubes are especially useful for cold-weather travel because they compress bulky winter clothing. Cozy indoor slippers are low utility while traveling since they cannot be worn outside; outdoor clogs provide comfort and versatility from airport to destination. Choosing functional, multipurpose items such as compressive organizers and wearable shoes improves packing efficiency and travel convenience.
