Beis has developed a strong following not only for being a celebrity-founded brand, but for creating sleek and trendy luggage that’s durable and easy to take on a plane. Its luxurious design and spacious interiors have landed it a price range in the $100s, but that’s where this dupe comes in to provide practically the same look and benefits for less than the designer price tag.

It’s no secret that quality carry-ons come at a higher price point, but Target is offering luggage deals that’ll give you enough space to pack all your travel necessities and then some. What caught our eye though, was a Target weekender bag that looks almost indiscernible from the Shay Mitchell brand’s viral bag.

The original Beis Weekender Bag is typically priced at $108+, but you can pickup Target’s version for only $80, which is basically a 26% off discount.

Open Story Signature Weekender Bag

Open Story’s Signature Weekender Bag comes in two colors — black or taupe — which you can mix and match to your luggage. The design has gathered a 4.7-star rating (out of five), with Target shoppers applauding how it “fits perfectly under the plane seat [even when] completely full.” The bag also comes with many pockets, including a main compartment that can fit 35L of items such as your clothes, as well as an interior zip compartment, padded laptop compartment, side slip pockets and an exterior zip pocket. Its versatile design enables it to go from a tote or duffle, while the built-in back slip can slide onto your carry-on handle to roll it from one place to another.

For those curious about the original style, it’s become popular for frequent travelers — especially for the bag’s standout bottom compartment, which can unzip to store shoes and toiletries, or for keeping your clothes separate.

Beis Weekender Bag

You can pick from nine shades ranging from neutral colors of beige, black and gray to statement colors such as pink, blue and green. The Weekender Bag is a functional carry-on, providing an easy-access tote opening and a trolley sleeve to attach to your rolling luggage to help keep your hands free.

The travel bag has earned a 4.8-star rating on the brand’s website from more than 12,000 reviews. Shoppers have praised its interior, with one person saying “it’s spacious, deep and functional.” In our experience, the compartment on the bottom of the bag is quite spacious too, and you’d be surprised just how much fits in this bag.

Kane Brown has been having quite a year.

He’s got an entertainer of the year nomination at next week’s ACM Awards plus a sold-out opening weekend for his In the Air Tour — which you can still buy last-minute tickets to through ticketing sites like Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats (get $20 off orders of $200 with the code BB2024) and Seat Geek (first purchases get $10 off orders of $250+ with code BILLBOARD). While traveling on the road, though, the “Thank God” singer has determined what travel necessities he always needs with him — and ShopBillboard was able to learn what he can’t leave home without.

Walking into his dressing room, you can expect to find it stocked with Olipop tonic soda — especially in the flavor orange, the country singer’s favorite. “We drink a lot of Olipop in our house,” he said in an interview with Billboard about his partnership with the brand. The beverage aims to help with digestive health and also includes vitamin C, prebiotics and no artificial sweeteners.

I usually just put it on a playlist and go through it. There’s been a lot of TLC, randomly. The Black Eyed Peas usually gets us pretty hype.”

DJ Khaled clearly lives a life. In a recent interview he reveals what he needs with him at all times during a trip.

As he prepares for the release of his fourteenth album DJ Khaled is even more busy than usual. During some of his most recent maneuvers he spoke to GQ Magazine and gave the world an inside look on his travel essentials. And as expected his pieces and more so his explanations did not disappoint. When asked what he packs first he made clear that hygiene is always top of mind regardless where he is going. “I mean, you got to have the gold toothbrush. Got to have that. Personally, I love Dove deodorant” he said. “Also, I got to throw some cigars in there because I might hit the golf course. Need some lighters in there because I got to light the cigars, so we’ll need the Djeep lighters, for sure. I love to flick lighters when I make music, when I hear something hot.”

The music mogul also is very specific when it comes to his white t-shirts. “Now the white T’s—very important. There’s two different types of white T’s. One is the new fresh one, just in case you need to throw something on, you can never go wrong” he added. “But then you have the white T’s that you wash every single day. I would hope you wash your clothes every day. My white T’s, I like to wear the washed ones when I go to bed. I love those. It’s just a different feeling, and I sleep so much better.”
But surprisingly his tour rider is very straightforward. “You know we got the Diptyque candles. The Beats Pill. Djeep lighter. Gum. Fresh towels. Hand sanitizer. I ain’t gonna lie to you, we got a little chocolate. Just in case I get in that zone, I need something chocolate, some Hershey’s. But then we also got granola, the healthy pack,” he said.
You can watch the official trailer for DJ Khaled’s forthcoming album Til Next Time below.

Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs X EDC Las Vegas

Eargasm’s High Fidelity Earplugs come with an expected noise reduction rate of 21 dB (decibels) and a NRR of 16 dB. The clear material helps make it almost unnoticeable when placed inside of your ears while the built-in pull tab makes it easier to take the earplugs out when you’re done using them.

As you start packing your festival gear and other travel necessities, you’ll want to make sure Eargasm’s earplugs are one of the things stocked in your luggage.

Do Earplugs Actually Work At Concerts?

If you’ve ever left a concert or music festival with ringing ears, then you’ve probably experience Tinnitus, which is described by the Iowa Carver College of Medicine as the “perception of sound in the absence of it (such as whistling, buzzing or roaring sounds within the ear or head).” This is just one of the symptoms from music induced hearing loss, which occurs when you’re exposed to high volumes of noise.

Concert earplugs work to minimize hearing damage by muffling sounds and reducing the noise, so your ear cannel doesn’t experience it at full force.

How to Get EDC Las Vegas 2024 Tickets

Tickets for EDC Las Vegas 2024 are still available at VividSeats, Seatgeek and StubHub. Ticket packages on resale sites start at $382 and you can choose from three-day passes to single-day tickets as well as VIP packages. Learn more about the festival including its lineup and tickets here.

Outdoor festivals and concerts are just some of the perks that come with warm weather, but sitting on the ground can come with its risks if you don’t have the proper festival gear. Whether you’re resting after dancing to your favorite artists or are enjoying sunny weather with friends at the park, a good picnic blanket is essential to avoid ending up with a wet bottom — or worse, grass and dirt stains on your jeans.

Adding a picnic blanket to your packing list will not only add some cushion to the hard ground, but will keep you dry and comfortable, no matter your location.

Trending on Billboard

There are a number of good outdoor blankets you can choose from online, but which ones should you actually be buying? To help make the decision easier, Billboard Shopping has broken down the best picnic blankets below to help narrow your options.

What Is the Best Material for Outdoor Blankets?

Sure, you could use any type of blanket outdoors, but the best picnic blankets are made from a waterproof material that won’t soak through if the ground is wet. You’ll want to be on the lookout for fabrics like polyurethane laminate (PUL) and nylon to prevent any water soaking through. Plus, if you go to the beach, these materials are smooth enough to easily brush off sand without trapping it.

What Is the Best Size for a Picnic Blanket?

If you plan on using a picnic blanket for yourself and another person you’ll want to opt for a blanket that can fit you, the other person, as well as additional space for snacks, drinks and more. Outdoor gear brand Kamui suggests using a blanket 50 inches x 60 inches to comfortably fit two people. For five or more people you’ll want to consider an outdoor blanket that measures around 80 inches x 80 inches.

What Are the Best Picnic Blankets?

From beach-friendly designs to budget-friendly picks, below we rounded up some of the best picnic blankets on the market that’ll easily become a travel necessity.

Putting a portable charger or cable into your backpack can sometimes feel like throwing the device into a black hole — you’re usually left spending an unnecessary amount of time digging around for your charger as you race to juice your smartphone up before the battery dies. And it’s not just chargers that get lost either; the same goes for most compact tech, including your Bluetooth earbuds.
