Maybe a handy Card holder would be a good choice to gift traveler. I recommend Cascade Wallet by Mani Wonders.
Hi Donald, thank you for sharing your great suggestion for a travel gift!! 🙂
EXCELLENT list, not just for the male travellers amongst us….I travelled with a SteriPen through Latin America and the Carribean last year and not once did I get sick from the water I treated. So many fewer plastic bottles too – every long term traveller should invest in one of these handy little gadgets! I rate the Olympus Tough camera highly too….it took a few hard knocks but still takes great photos!
Hi Ingrid 🙂 I learned about the SteriPen last year from a couple in Guatemala. They gave me the whole breakdown. What a great device!
I’ve also met many travelers that are very happy with their Olympus Tough. Happy to hear you’re one of them!
Thank you very much for your feedback and for enjoying the list!
I never saw that silent alarm before. Very cool list!
Thank you! Glad you like it 🙂
