To cover hotel pillows, or to stuff with your sweatshirt for a swanky impromptu pillow in train, plane or auto.

Check out the world’s largest cities as depicted by Czech artist Miroslav Sasek back in the ’60s. Footnotes bring things up to date.

Also: Congrats to Janice, Pam and Lisa, who won HazelMail 12-packs. Happy postcard-sending, ladies!

Lined, and includes a “wonder city” subway map. Notes on architecture not required.

So many situations the world over you can navigate smoothly with the double whammy of cash and compass.

Love these new wipes for freshening on the go. They’re biodegradable and scented with essential oils—half are spicy-orangey bergamot (meant for hands and body) and the other half are fresh yuzu citrus (meant for face and neck). Perfect post-flight.

BONUS: Flight 001’s having a supersale to celebrate its 10th birthday through this Sunday, April 19th—30 percent off all purchases over $50. (Use the promo code “birthday” online.) Of course, you’d have to buy two of these to get the discount, which effectively knocks them each down under $20. One for you, one for your traveling friend.

The new pima cotton (and therefore more affordable) version of White+Warren’s cashmere travel wrap. A nice, big all-weather scarf, blanket and wrap in one, it comes in a rainbow of colors.

‘Tis the season for openers—what a perfect time to feature these city maps printed on handmade professional-standard baseballs. So far, there’s Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Jerusalem and “Ballparks of America,” which features some of our most famous parks.

My latest gear roundup, Born-Again Bags, is in the current issue of Frommer’s Budget Travel. It was tons o’ fun to track down the latest in green carryons, but one of my very favorites got cut at the last minute. So, here it is, this great little clutch made out of pop-tops crocheted together in all sorts of colors (bamboo shown here). I use mine as a purse organizer that makes my business cards, pen and lipsticks easy to find and to transfer from bag to bag. I love that I can just remove it from the bag, as I did recently before hitting the town in Vegas, and bam! It’s a fancy stand-alone clutch. All designs are more refined versions of what’s apparently a common souvenir in Brazil, where the owner took inspiration while on vacation. All Escama bags are made in Brazilian women’s cooperatives—you can see the ladies’ profiles and send the maker of your specific bag a thank-you email via Escama’s website. You’ll likely feel inspired to thank. I get compliments on mine all the time.

Another great Travel Goods Show find: Malcolm Fontier, who designs carryalls with creative urban travelers in mind. The Mojito, for example, is a nice little travel wallet with a flat pocket for folded-up currency and a main compartment that holds four cards in place with a colorful little elastic strap. Great for traveling light. Also, Industrial Designer Fontier and his fiancee/co-founder are vegetarian and so worked hard to find a material for these that looks and acts like leather but isn’t.

GIVEAWAY ALERT: Win Malcolm Fontier gear through March at malcolmfontier.com. Click on the “Important Notice” on the bottom of the home page to sign up. They’re giving away bags to the first five names drawn and wallets to the next five.
