The Flight001 Bi-Annual Sale started today, with 30 to 75% off tons o’ stuff, all Flight001 web exclusives. There are a dangerous amount of covetable totes and suitcases and overnighters and duffels with prices slashed. I’m currently trying to rationalize purchase of this Orla Kiely lovely like the bagaholic I am. Even though it’s on sale, it would be the most expensive bag I own. On the other hand? Would last forever! Goes with everything! On sale!

Hello, lovely travel chopsticks! Such a great multi-purpose on-the-road tool, good for working the (low heat) grill, general cooking, serving and, of course, eating. This stylish, inexpensive pair can withstand temps in the high 200s. I am now craving sushi. Who am I kidding? I’m always craving sushi.

Made of material that blocks 98 percent of the sun’s UV rays. Plus, you can crush, crumple or fold it into your purse or suitcase. Not bad for thirty bucks, eh? This one is really cute, cuter than the photos portray, even, but if it really isn’t your style, check out the dozens of others. Plus a bunch for dudes.

Maggie’s awesome Spork Roundup over at MightyGoods reminded me that I had yet to post about the spork I tested a while back. This one I can vouch for. They come in lots of lovely colors, yes, but that wee knife that’s actually a part of the fork—total bonus. Good for camping and budget backpacking. There’s a discount if you buy a four-pack.
Gives the current time in twelve international cities at the touch of a button (or rather, buttons). There’s a travel alarm and a calculator, too. My favorite feature, though, is that you can program in the current exchange rate for up to two countries—good for big-purchase bargaining or when your brain is so overloaded that math is not an option. Even though the temperature feature on mine petered out over a couple of years, I’d still recommend it. Nice price.

Y’all loved you some keychain totes when I posted about ‘em way back when. Now, the joy of extra storage unfolding from a surprisingly teensy pouch comes in backpack form. Yee-haw!
By god, you will not miss the game. This four-pound unit re-directs your home TV—DVR, satellite or digital cable and all—to any computer, anywhere.

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.
