Comes with a free 24/7/365 lifetime service—if an upstanding citizen anywhere in the world finds your bag, he or she can call the number listed on this tag, collect, and Victorinox will arrange its return to you. Back-up insurance is always a good idea, no?
Faraway places? Fancy costumes? These travel tins may hold the power to penetrate Disney princess-land.
You’ll feel like a supertraveler when you’re on the road, the need for a needle and thread arrives, and bam! There you are, saving the day with your big button.
It’s more difficult to get upset at storm clouds when they’re depicted with cartoonish fangs and a cute little thunderbolt tail. Nice tactic.
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.
I’m setting aside my hatred of cheesy word fusions for the love of these outdoor learning games—bug bingo, beach quest, star quest and others—printed on bandannas. Small, engaging, easy to pack. And if the game doesn’t hold their attention, it’s a hat or a napkin. A hatkin. Hapkin?
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.
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.
Good news for the well organized traveler: Now you can customize your own carryon-friendly toiletry bag. Choose a zipable, 3D, clear quart-sized bag in black or white trim. Then, fill it with your perfect combo of jars and airless pumps, all of which hold three ounces or less.
