Summer is right around the corner, which means you probably have your summer travel plans booked and your summer sundresses out of storage. But whether you’re jet-setting across the country or planning to hit the road for a road trip, packing your dresses and other outfits into a carry-on or weekender bag almost always results in them get wrinkled. Even those who pack meticulously and tidily (using hacks like handy packing cubes) face unsightly wrinkles sometimes. But don’t worry. We have you covered.
In 2022, Oprah named the Nori Press as one of her favorite things. A handheld iron and steamer and iron in one, the Nori Press works by using two aluminum plates that clamp down on the fabric to deliver even heat and easy on-the-go ironing. Think of it like a hair straightener for your clothes. It's compact and truly efficient—we tested it and were able to iron a cotton shirt in about five minutes flat—making it an ideal travel companion for someone who doesn’t want to rely on those famously lackluster hotel irons.

The device also features an elongated arm for maximum coverage across your garment and a steam reservoir for controlled steam release on more delicate items. When it comes to temperatures, the Nori Press has six settings for poly, silk, wool, cotton, denim, and linen to tackle item of clothing—from button-downs to dresses. The Nori Press retails for $120, and for the price, it has all the versatility and duality you need (plus it comes in a variety of fun colors!).

Don’t just take our word for it. Oprah says the Nori Press is great for its quickness and its transportability. “This gadget quickly presses both sides of a shirt, dress, or pair of pants and reaches its highest temperature in three minutes,” she said. “You can also use it to steam or refresh clothes. And with people traveling again, it’s ideal to throw into your suitcase.”
Whether you want to keep your clothes nice and tidy while on the go or to avoid looking like a walking wrinkle while vacationing, Nori Press offers a solution that doesn’t take up much room in your home or luggage, and does the job efficiently and compactly.
