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.
