Top 5 Travel Gifts
1) Urban 21 Commuter Backpack
This water-resistant and travel-ready backpack will let you arrive to any destination in style—while keeping you cool under pressure. Padding on the back of the bag helps regulate heat and keeps you dry while a top hard shell compartment protects your most delicate items from a rough commute.
2) Cedar & Birch State Inlay Journal
Woodchuck USA: Cedar & Birch State Inlay Journal - Michigan
3) Stitch-Your-Travels Leather Wallet
Every adventure becomes hands-on with this leather travel wallet. Thoughtfully crafted to house your on-the-go essentials, the cover is specially perforated to enable crafty, colorful stitching. Tick off every destination with the included needle and thread, marking memories as you meander.
4) Water Purification Pod
Use this little water enhancer to purify tap water in a bottle for on-the-go drinking or in a pitcher for the whole family. GoPure’s porous ceramic absorbs impurities and releases trace minerals to balance the pH levels. And it uses an all-natural, fine-grain rock (Diatomite) to filter out lead, arsenic, chlorine, and other contaminants you don’t want in your system. It’s a portable solution for potable water.
5) Smart Air Quality Monitor
The Smart Air Quality Monitor instantly displays real-time air pollution so you know when it's safe to exercise or spend time outdoors. Use the included mounting strap to attach to a bike or stroller when on the go. This device stores data for up to 30 days so you can conveniently identify pollution hotspots.
