The superhero of tripods. It wraps! It hangs! It balances!

The perfect “Blend in with the Locals”-style purse/daypack (magazines, water, purchases—no problem) in an adorable pink-and-white bird-on-a-wire print. I get compliments from strangers on mine practically every time I leave the house with it. It’s washable, too.

Airline Travelers Against Checked Luggage, unite! Upgrade that TSA mandated quart-sized Ziploc to this clear 3-D bag, with little handles and a real, live zipper. Comes with five fillable pumps, 3 ounces or less, for your various gels and liquids.

Get loaded in a worldly manner.

Prone to wanderlust? The two-page spreads on each and every country feature just enough in gorgeous photos and well chosen insights to give you a taste. A deliciously alluring taste.
