The armchair traveler
We all know people who want us to bring them back a magnet or shot glass from every city we’ve ever visited, but sadly lots of tchotchkes lack imagination. Enter keychains by Neighborwoods ($8 at bezar.com), laser-engraved key chains molded into the shape of the city they’re representing and even including neighborhood demarcations. Favorite American cities like Austin, Brooklyn, San Francisco and others are represented, as are international destinations including Rome, Berlin and many more.
The glamper
There are plenty of people who love the great outdoors, but if you ask them to pitch a tent all they will do is pitch a fit. Enter the Cinch pop-up tent ($226.65 at cinchpopuptents.com), a chic and durable tent available to in size that can accommodate up to four people. Ir erects in seconds, and we love its sleek design and cool features such as the spacious living areas, solar power capabilities, side windows, storage pockets, lantern points and more. Now if only they’ll build a pop-up four-course gourmet dinner to go with it.
The shutterbug
If you thought the selfie-stick revolutionized the art of picture taking, have we got a treat for you. We love cataloging our travels through photography, but it’s no fun lugging around an expensive camera plus a bulky lens just to get that perfect shot. Enter the Olloclip 4-in-1 Lens ($79.99 for the iPhone 6 at olloclip.com) which fits handily over your iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices and features four advanced optic quick change lenses that promise to make the perfect group selfie possible.
The business traveler
If there’s one thing the workaholic on the go needs it’s efficiency and organization and that’s why we’ve become obsessed with the Cocoon Innovations Graphite 15″ Backpack ($74.99 at citizengoods.com) which thrills us not only with its sleek style—check out the nylon, heather-grey color, gunmetal hardware and wooden zippers—but also its handy storage compartments for all our tech gear including space for a 15″ laptop, headphones, chargers, USB cords and so much more.
