1. Hooded Travel Pillow
This is the product we would have invented had we not seen it online first. It eliminates the need for an uncomfortable eye mask and is therefore the perfect neck pillow for travelers who want a little shut-eye in transit.

2. Scratch-off World Map Poster
A great gift for those who can barely keep track of where they’ve been! This world map allows you to color the countries you have visited by scratching them off. How cool is that?!

3. Ten-Liter Dry Bag
They’re not just for divers! The benefits of a dry bag for travelers cannot be understated. It will protect your belongings (especially electronics!) from the sun, sand and rain. We used our 5-liter dry bag when kayaking, scaling sand dunes and walking around in the heat of the day. Sometimes we felt it was a little small, so we would recommend upgrading to a 10-liter bag.

4. LifeStraw
Want to help the traveler you love save money on the road and keep them hydrated? Buying bottled water can really add up. Help cut out that expense with this amazing water filter!

5. World Travel Adapter with 2 USB Outlets
Anyone who travels with electronics will love this adapter. Not only will it plug into outlets in 150 countries, but it also accepts multiple plug styles and has a pair of USB charging ports that allow you to simultaneously charge a smartphone, camera battery, and more.

Great list 🙂 – coincidentally, we have received number 2 already this year as a gift and have purchased number 5 for someone else!
Thanks 🙂 Sounds like our list officially has the traveler stamp of approval!
Oooh, I would love the scratch off map!
Right?! So cool.
