It’s the most wonderful time of the year. And it’s our favorite time of the year. We recently did our annual Travelers Gift Show on The Traveling Eye. This year we featured stocking stuffers for the traveler. Travelers want something that is functional and that will aid them in their travels. None of that cute stuff that is only cute and you will never use.
We immediately went to our friends at Magellans, your trusted source for travel solutions and gear. Magellan’s was started by two Pan Am employees so they know what a traveler needs.
Here’s our top picks for this year.
Electronic Accessory Case: On sale now for $21.60
This is perfect for organizing small electronics and the Velcro tabs inside are adjustable.
THE DUAL VOLTAGE POWER STRIP:
Hotels never have enough outlets and the airport power stations are always full. This power strip has three plugs and USB. You’re sure to make friends at the airport.
THE DAY TRIPPER BACK PACK:
We love this for numerous reasons. It’s light, it’s compact and it gives you an extra bag, weather your on the plane or for just traveling about. It folds into itself and weighs only 9oz.
THE MINI EMERGENCY KIT:
This is the size of a mini cupcake and holds everything. Excellent stocking stuffer and item to have in your purse or carry-on. Nail polish remover, clear nail polish, pain reliever, tampon, emery board, breath freshener, band aids, dental floss, hairspray, sewing kit, safety pin, deodorant towelettes, lip balm and stain remover. whew.
WATERPROOF PONCHO:
Better than an umbrella. Folds into itself so it’s easy to pack. It’s polyester but it’s breathable! Here’s a tip. You can use it as a blanket or underneath your blanket if the ground is wet.!
DOOR STOP ALARM:
Not just for the ladies but a great idea for the ladies. Not only is it a door stop that you can wedge under any door to stop unwanted entry, it will also sound an alarm. What a great gift!
THE GOTOOB:
These silicon tubes are great for flying because they are less than 3oz. They’re great for the purse or the car and Magellan’s tell us you can put a snack in there. Like peanut butter or honey so that makes them great for picnics too.
EMERGENCY PHONE CHARGER:
Who doesn’t need one of these? The reasons are endless. Battery operated, 90 minutes of talk time, six connector tips and a retractable usb cord.
RIDGED ALUMINUM WALLET:
Has RFID blocking protections which makes it great for protecting your information while you travel. It’s sleek, looks good and is durable.
