Cool Gifts for the Traveller in Your Life
Marianne Rogerson – Mom on the Move
What do you buy the traveller that has everything? We give you ideas for some cool gifts guaranteed to put a smile on any frequent flier’s face.
Up & Away Original Multiple Passport Holder
The multiple passport holder from Up & Away lets you carry up to three passports plus boarding passes, frequent flier cards and other documents in a streamlined, stylish wallet. The leather passport holder is available in seven vibrant colours, with a choice of three patterned linings, and comes packaged in a beautiful white cloud gift box.
Bose QuietComfort 25 Noise Cancelling Headphones
A pair of high quality noise cancelling headphones are almost a necessity for the frequent flier these days. Hushing out ambient sound, you can listen to music, or your inflight movie without all of the distractions of the cabin around you. The Bose QuietComfort 25 version is widely regarded as the go-to product.
GoPro Hero4 Session
The GoPro Hero cameras have changed the face of home videos forever. The world’s most versatile video cameras can be strapped to a surfboard, mountain bike or helmet to film yourself in action. The latest model is the GoPro Hero4 Session, their smallest, lightest model yet, which is durable and waterproof and comes with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth.
SuitPack
The SuitPack suit carrier has been scientifically designed to ensure you arrive at your destination with a wrinkle-free suit. This daddy of suit carriers has a rigid hollow cavity, which isolates and protects your suit in a way not provided by typical soft-sided suit carriers, and includes internal sleeve supports and shoulder pads. It is suitable to be used as carry-on luggage, and small and light enough to be packed into your suitcase.
11+ World Clock
This fun gadget allows you to see the time in 24 time zones around the world by simply rolling the clock along your desk. With hands and face moving independently of one another, you simply roll the clock until the city you want is at the top, and the hands will show the correct time for that time zone. Comes with 3 color variations: Modern Gray, Midnight Blue, and Orange Passion
Freelance writer Marianne has been an expat all her life, having lived in such diverse places as Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica. Becoming a mum to two active children hasn’t dampened her wanderlust – but instead of trekking up the Himalayas or white water rafting in Peru, these days she’s more likely to relish the opportunity to kick back on a Hong Kong Junk with a glass of wine in hand. She writes for a range of magazines and websites and edits the family travel blog Mum on the Move.
