These include aromatic bitters, cane sugar, a muddling spoon and a linen coaster. Everything is packaged in a stylish travel tin.
Beoplay A1 Speaker
No one wants to be in a hotel room without some good tunes. The Beoplay A1 Speaker ($249) allows you to listen to some tunes all while getting some work done. You can connect two together to get even more sound or use it as a speaker for your phone.
MiniPresso GR Espresso Maker
The MiniPresso GR Espresso Maker ($50) is all you need to make your favorite cup of joe on the run. This MiniPresso comes equipped with a built-in espresso cup and scoop and allows you to use a variety of coffee beans giving the flexibility to try new flavors.
Oasis Waterproof Kindle
The Oasis Waterproof Kindle ($250) is the perfect gifts for someone who loves to take the regular vacation. Read on the beach or by the pool without concern. The Oasis has all the goodies that come in a Kindle but is also completely waterproof and can survive the accidental dunk in the pool.
Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Headphones
The Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Headphones ($349) are perfect for the traveler who wants a little peace and quiet when they travel. The Noise-rejecting dual-microphone system gives you clear phone calls and voice access to your phone’s default virtual assistant, like Siri. You can also adjust the level of noise cancellation to suit your environment. While volume-optimized EQ makes your music always sounds its best, whether you turn it up on an airplane, or turn it down while at the office.
Hardgraft Passport Holder
Every traveler needs a place for their passport, id, cards, and cash. When not do it in style. The Hardgraft Passport Holder ($111) is the perfect solution. This stylish vegetable tanned leather passport holder includes two card slots and room to hold up to two passports. It measures 11 x 15cm in size and is made from high-quality Nappa leather with a felt wool interior.
DJI OSMO 4k Camera
The DJI OSMO 4K Camera ($465) is the perfect gift for those who want to capture silky smooth 4K video on their vacation. Capture video at 24 or 25 frames per second. You can also capture 12mp still images. The handle has gimbal controls for panning and tilting along with wi-fi monitoring and remote operation. Perfection for those exotic locations.
Tile Wallet and Key Trackers
The worst thing that could possibly happen on your vacation is losing your keys or wallet. Give the gift of peace of mind with the Tile Wallet and Key Trackers ($25+). Just clip them on your keys or place them in your wallet, install the app and if you lose your item just activate the find function in the app and they’ll make a sound. There are other functions including community locate and a phone locator. So check their site for more details. I own the Tile and it’s saved me hours of searching over the years.
Engraved Leather Earphone Organizer
I don’t know about you but I hate digging into my backpack on a trip only to come up with a rats nest of cables and cords. The Engraved Earphone Organizer ($19) is the perfect solution to that problem. No more messy cords. Just coil the cables and snap them snuggly in place. The organizer is made from genuine leather and includes buttons made from real brass.
Monocle Travel Guides
Whatever country or state you want to go there’s a Monocle Travel Guide ($14) that will show you around town. Aimed at people who do not want to be tourists but rather feel like locals when they travel, these are books for those who want to mix the classic with the contemporary, want to get beyond the cliches, and know they can get a feel for a city even if they only have a few days. And they are full of surprises and quirks: the books will guide you to a grand hotel but also to a cozy two-star and will leave you drinking in a local corner bar or being served by a great waiter who knows his craft-while being wary of pushing you into the newest, hippest, soulless bar.
$14
Anker PowerCore 10000
The worst is searching for a power bank in an airport. Of course, they’re always full and you’ve got to wait for someone to give up a spot. Fix all of that with the Anker Powercore 10000 ($36). For the price, you don’t get much more bang for your buck. The PowerCore will charge your iPhone up to 3 times and it comes with the battery, travel pouch, Micro-USB, and a great 18-month warranty.
