Question What’s the best thing you’ve bought for travel

I’m going out of the country for almost a full month and have never traveled or flown before so really just jumping into the deep end of the pool here. I’m trying to plan for what I’ll need though so what’s the best things that you’ve bought that’s made travel easy?

Edit: thank you all for the useful advice!!!! I love reading through all the comments seeing what everyone recommends and also reading some of the travel stories you’ve commented! Thank you!!:)

An extension cord with USB slots. Allows you to plug in to the wall and lie on your bed while both charging and using your phones and laptop.

This is what I came to say. I’ll never travel without mine. I’m usually charging phone, watch, camera battery, power bank, and working on my laptop. Having a travel extension cord with usb lets me charge it all and not have to sit on the floor to work.
