Summer break, festival season, major post-grad plans...whatever staycations or getaways you may have planned during your time off, it's never too early (nor too late!) to shop for them. And if you decided to splurge on a plane ticket, hotel room, or luxury yurt this year, there's a chance you might be feeling stuck.

Never fear: I'm here, and I have 17 vacation must-haves that won't break the bank. Just because your budget is lower than it was a month ago doesn't mean you can't have an underwater camera, a portable badminton set, and anything else you need to make your break a true break. 

After all, "summer break" means different things to different people. For some, it may represent traveling across the country to party for a week. For others, it might mean looking for ways to transform their backyards to keep kids occupied. However you choose to celebrate (or just try to push through it), it's totally doable with the essentials and a budget.

Scroll on for 17 vacation must-haves under $50, and remember: Reapply sunscreen after swimming!

"The lightweight, everyday version," of UnSun Cosmetics' "hero powerhouse," the Everyday Sunscreen has a "silky finish" and provides sun protection, minus the "white residue" that's all too common in most sunscreens.

"Designed for adventure and made to last," the Sierra Sport Canteen will help you stay hydrated and eco-conscious throughout the week.

Everything you need to get a little friendly badminton competition is right here, and it's all in a convenient neoprene carrying case.

Crafted from easy-to-clean canvas in a stylish windowpane plaid, this trio is perfect for keeping your essentials organized when you're on the move.

Some purses and outfits just don't call for a full-sized wallet, and that's doubly true for vacation looks. The solution? This slim (yet useful!) "front pocket" wallet. Sure, it's technically designed for men, but whatev.

A quality rum punch deserves the perfect acoutrements from which to enjoy it.

It's a soft beach towel that doubles as not one, but two game boards. So, triples, technically.

Vibrant, luxe, and best of all, on sale, the Beverly Hills kimono from Kenny Flowers finishes seasonal looks with ankle-skimming style.

Whether you're disengaging from society, screen time, or an argument, do it with emphasis thanks to this hat from RHOSLC's Meredith Marks.

Per the tennis superstar's brand: "A fun twist to our fan-favorite race day tank, this racerback tank features a snake skin print and includes a shelf bra for extra support. The fabrication is both breathable and moisture-wicking." What a serve.

Add some razzle-dazzle (and convenience) to every bottle-opening moment with this Flamingo-topped bar accessory from Joanna Buchanan.

I mean, what's an afternoon outdoors without a set of bubble wands to go with it?

This too-cute underwater camera from Sunnylife ensures you don't have to stay in the shallow end to capture your group's most joyful moments.

Rains' petite version of their classic tote includes all of its best features — including a light weight and water resistance — now in a travel-friendly size.

There's no need to keep using a ratty old beach towel for tradition's sake. This sophisticated one from Laguna Beach Textile Company is an instant and effortless upgrade.
