Contact lens case by Beyond Optics


Not sure why I get so excited about interesting-looking travel cases for contact lenses, as I don’t wear them. Empathy? Love how these give the ubiquitous white cases a sleek overhaul, using color to separate left and right.

Reed’s Peanut Butter Ginger Chews

PB ginger chews
I know I’m not the only one who habitually drinks ginger ale when flying. It’s a logical compulsion, as ginger has been proven to prevent motion sickness. Reed’s new ginger chews add peanut butter to the mix, a tactic that’s been proven to improve candy. Slip some into your travel pack for your next flight or road trip. They’re so good they’ll have you “preventing motion sickness” often.

NOTE: Right now, you can only purchase large quantities online. I’ll update the link as availability broadens.
