Gifts for Travelers

SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive

Have you ever been on a vacation, taking a lot of pictures on your smartphone and then the “out of memory” notice comes up?!? It is so frustrating. before we went on our cruise last year I picked up a 32 GB SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive. Each night hubby and I both downloaded all our pictures to the drive. We never had to worry about running out of memory! These flash drives are available in 32, 64, 128, and 200 GB sizes for $23.89-$86.09 based on size.

BorrowLenses

Do you know a traveler who is going on an epic adventure and needs a new camera or lens? Rent one! The Gear You Want When You Need It is the motto at BorrowLenses. Gift certificates are available and would make an amazing gift!

Traveler’s Notebook

All serious travelers need some type of traveler’s notebook to record their travels in. I recommend the affordable, recycled notebooks from Guided Products. Recycled notebooks come in 3 sizes and 3 finishes with prices starting at $3.49 you can’t go wrong.

Photo Books and Calendars

I have used Mixbook for years. I have made several Custom Photo Books at Mixbook and created calendars too. If you know someone who takes beautiful pictures of their travels a Mixbook gift card would be a very thoughtful gift.

Thinium ReCharge iPhone Charger

I’ve been using my Thinium RECharge iPhone Charger for a few weeks now. I think it is a good choice for travelers because you don’t need any extra cables. You can charge via the built in lightning dock or the attached USB. When you are back in your room you can plug the Thinium ReCharge into the wall outlet with the phone attached and charge both the phone and the battery pack at the same time. The ReCharge charges your iPhone quickly and can ReCharge your phone 1.5 times per charge. The ReCharge is available for $69.99.

Gifts for Making Packing Easier

TUO

You might remember back in April I introduced you to TUO the Travel Undergarment Organizer. I love my TUO and it travels with me everywhere I go. If you are going on an overnight trip you can use it to pack most of what you need. For an extended stay, TUO keeps your unmentionables clean, safe and easy to access. TUO comes in 5 designer styles and costs $49.50.

Miu Color Packing Cubes

Where have Miu Color Packing Cubes been all my life? I learned about packing cubes a while back when a friend of mine posted a video about how she packed her family of 7 (including 5 kids under age 6) to move to Europe with only 1 backpack each! I was amazed and intrigued. I got my set of packing cubes last fall in time for our week long cruise and that is when I fell in love. My suitcases are so much more organized and my clothes stay neater when they are packed in cubes. What makes this even better? These cubes come in 3 different colors and are only $15.99 per set of 4.

Shelfpack

I haven’t tried this product yet but it is on my list. Shelfpack – A new kind of luggage with built-in shelves!! How absolutely cool is this? Talk about luggage organizing at its finest. The Shelfpack would have been pefect for Jordan when he was traveling the country with The 99 doing missionary work and living in host homes for 2 1/2 years. Shelfpack retails for $349.

Easy2Pick Wireless Luggage Finder System uses a tag attached to your luggage and a keychain receiver. Attach the luggage tag to your luggage and turn it on. When you get off the plane turn on your keychain receiver and it will beep and vibrate when your luggage is within 100 feet of where you are! No more rushing to the baggage claim to wait in the mob with everyone else.

The Easy2Pick Wireless Luggage Finder is also great for kid’s backpacks or anything else that gets lost regularly. Are you always misplacing your keys? Put the luggage tag on your keychain and keep the receiver in a special place then when ever you can’t find your keys just activate the receiver!

Once you’re at the baggage claim do you have trouble finding your suitcase in a sea of look-alikes? The Easy2Pick Flashing Luggage Tag is the gift for you! The patented electronic device uses the latest super bright LED technology so travelers can pinpoint their bags in a crowded baggage claim. Four different LEDs flash a selection of 16 fully customizable color combinations so there is no mistaking which bag is yours.

Simply attach the tag to your suitcase and turn it on. By measuring factors like light, altitude and noise, the flashing LED tag’s built in photo electric sensor senses when it is in the cargo hold of the plane and won’t flash, thus saving your battery.

Whether traveling by plane, boat or bus the Easy2Pick Flashing Luggage Tag makes travel easier, and at $11.95 it makes a great gift too.

The Zhip (pronounced “zip”) uses a sturdy, “no-drop ,” three-foot extendable zip cord to anchor any smartphone to:

• The back of a car seat to entertain the kids while on the road with movies, music videos, and games (a great “tool” for busy Moms!)
• Exercise equipment at home or at the gym to make workouts more enjoyable
• The back of an airplane seat to enjoy personal entertainment selections on long flights
• To simply suspend a phone or iPod touch from any desired hard surface or work space for easy viewing and access

The Zhip expands to fit any mobile device and features special retractable, “scratch-free” grip handles with protective padding that attach tightly around a mobile handheld to safeguard and secure even the most expensive device. The unit is compact (it measures 27/8″ x 13/8″ x 3/4″) and can easily fit into a small pocket. Plus, the Zhip is made from 100 percent polycarbonate “bullet-proof” material – making it extra strong and unbreakable – and comes equipped with a desktop stand.

The Zhip is affordably priced at $24.95 MSRP. The Zhip is currently available at the eStore at www.thezhip.com and retails in Best Buy stores. “Zhip it. Clip it. Go!” to watch movies and more anywhere, anytime … and take your entertainment center on the road.
