They say that necessity is the mother of invention. With airlines making travel more difficult than ever, here are some travel gadgets that can help you get the most out of your carry-on.

One of our favorite off-the-wall gadgets is the Scottevest, which has 22 pockets that you can stuff full before climbing onboard.

And remember to fill that vest with some Pocket Shots: these are 1.6-ounce plastic packets full of—you guessed it— liquor.

Or, beat the liquid restriction with MySmartPac a $10 all-in-one personal product kit.

Each kit has resealable packets of lotions, toothpaste, and shaving cream, which last up to six uses.

And, if you don’t want to risk the airlines losing your favorite sweater, try a Just for the Weekend bag.

For $150, these luggage kits come with wrinkle-free clothes that you can mix and match.

If the airline loses it, no big deal—your regular clothes are safely at home.
