Heavy layers, it’s been fun, but it’s time for flowers and blue skies. Just don’t forget — spring’s grand entrance comes with a splash of rain. Checking the forecast is easy, but staying prepared on vacation? Not so much. Enter the Baodini Travel Mini Umbrella. It's super compact, purse-friendly and on sale for just $12 (down from $22) — that’s 40% off.
Smaller than a paperback book, this tiny umbrella fits in your purse and opens with the press of a button. Plus, it comes with a sleek carrying case to keep your bag dry.
Why is it a good deal? ????
You definitely can't put a price on having an umbrella when the sky opens up and dumps buckets on you in the spring. But even if you never see a drop, $12 is a pretty good deal for this compact umbrella. It also happens to be the lowest price we've seen for it since last spring.
Why do I need this? ????
Folding down to just 7 inches, this little guy slips easily into your purse and comes with a protective case — that means your stuff stays dry and the umbrella won't snag anything. It also happens to be an all-weather gadget. It has a UV-protective canopy to shield you from the sun and it has reinforced fiberglass ribs that stand up to unexpected wind gusts.
Small but mighty, this travel-friendly gadget tucks neatly into any bag or pocket, ready to go for any surprise rain or too much sunshine. (Amazon)

"Used this during a recent trip to Disney and it was perfect," shared the Happiest Place on Earth enthusiast. "No sunscreen. No burn, and I typically burn very easily. Hot 90-degree sunny days and I was not nearly as hot as others. Lightweight. Easy to stuff in my pocket or bag on rides. Durable. Honestly just perfect."
"Super small but kept me dry!" wrote a storm-ready traveler. "Didn't get a chance to use in Europe but here at home put it in my purse & surprise showers didn't catch me off guard. Perfect!"
Cons ????
Some shoppers weren't impressed by the carrying case.
"Packed it in my purse," shared one shopper. "Traveling when the weather report expected rain! I just opened up the umbrella, nice and dry! The umbrella comes with a carrying case. I suggest only using the case if you have a large bag/backpack."
Another shopper wrote: "Too difficult to package back up to fit in the case though."
With a wind-resistant frame, quick-dry canopy, and one-touch open-close button, this compact umbrella is your go-anywhere shield against wacky weather.
