Before you leave for the airport, must you wash all dishes, clean all floors, hang fresh hand towels in the bathroom and triple-check your stove’s burners to ensure they are, in fact, off? Yes? Then man, do I have the suitcase for you. It weighs just 5.5 pounds, unzips completely flat and is small enough to fit under the airplane seat in front of you. Plentiful extras include a laptop pocket, lipstick slots and a clear quart-sized toiletry pouch that clips to the inside of the bag with its own leash. Super for those who are, or aspire to be, hyper-organized.

Sixty master packing lists ready and waiting with the usual trip necessities, for business or pleasure, urban or remote. The reminder at the end of each page is all too true: “Bring half of what you think you’ll need, and twice as much money.”

Listen up: Radio chips embedded in new passports, credit cards and drivers licenses constantly transmit your personal information. This means a thief can nab it, wirelessly. Enter Kena Kai’s new wallets and passport holders, lined with material designed to block radio frequency identification (RFID) transmission. Smart and good looking. Nice combo.

I’m pretty psyched about the arrival of camping season, as well as my new camp-out essential. It’s a weather, AM or FM radio; LED flashlight and emergency phone charger, all in one easy-to-hold, eco-friendly little package. Uses energy generated via the hand crank, solar panel or USB port.

Comes with a valve, for your meticulous little sandcastle builder. Collapsible = travels well.

Represent—your home airport, or perhaps a favorite or dream destination—with one of these sexy new urban bags by Jason Solarek. Each bears a unique international airport code, city name and latitude. There are sixty places so far, but if don’t see yours, request it. Solarek will likely add it to his list of offerings. Check out the T-shirts, mugs and notebooks, too.

A handy LED reading light that clips to book or nightstand, yet also plugs into any USB port to illuminate your laptop or PDA. Love how it snaps into itself for easy transport.

Looks like a little present, all rolled up and tied with its sweet silk ribbon, waiting for you in your luggage.

Even if you are a weary traveler, best not look the part. Carry-on friendly.

I must be extraordinarily picky when it comes to travel pillows. I don’t quite get those U-pillows, and the wacky SkyRest? C’mon. So I’m always unnaturally excited when I come across a travel pillow I can stand behind, such as this one, which offers a compact padded landing for your lolling head while keeping your neck cramp-free. It Velcros up nice and tight, too.
