1. A Clever Pouch That Gives You A Secret Place To Stash Your Valuables

Braza Secret Stash Pocket, $9, Amazon

Now you don't have to shove your drinks money in your bra — because you can shove it in this hidden bra pocket. The Braza is a lingerie-styled pocket that attaches with a Velcro-sealed loop to the plunge or the wing of your bra or the hip of your panties — wherever you feel most comfortable keeping your most prized possessions safe and sound. The 3-inch band is stretchable for easy placement, and should you find yourself in a sweaty situation while you're sneaking, the Braza is hand-washable, too.
