If you’ve ever used cheap drugstore toiletry bottles, you know the struggle: You can never get all the product out of them, they’re prone to leaks, and they’re a pain to clean and refill.

There’s a better way: These chic toiletry containers are great for transporting anything you might need—from skin care to shampoo to vitamins. They have twist-off lids with wide mouths that make transferring products a breeze. And their magnetic, hexagonal design lets them clack into a compact honeycomb that significantly declutters travel bags.

Plus, they’re pretty to look at, delightful to use, and make packing less stressful. Take it from newsletters editor (and famously bad packer) Brittney Ho: “When I’m at home, my skin-care routine is a familiar, calming, and lovely ritual. These preserve that experience, even when I’m hundreds of miles away.”
