ReliefBand
Motion sickness can quickly ruin a trip. For travelers who suffer from nausea on boats, planes, or trains, the ReliefBand offers an effective alternative to medication. Worn like a watch, the device delivers patterned pulses that stimulate the median nerve on the inside of the wrist. This neuromodulation reduces nausea and has been used in clinical and hospital settings for more than a decade. The band is subtle and comfortable, and it begins working soon after the user activates the pulse, helping make travel more enjoyable.
Scarves from Centinelle
Centinelle scarves are both witty and beautifully crafted from 100 percent silk. Designer Cristina Rose-Guizar draws on a lifelong passion for scarves and creates bold, eclectic patterns that are perfect for stashing in a carry-on or wearing on a flight. Sold through museums and specialty retailers, the scarves come in multiple sizes and feature playful names such as Coyote Raspberries, Circus for Tigers, Origami Bunny and Housing Crisis in the North Pole. Standouts include whimsical designs like Cat Abduction, which depicts startled felines being lifted by flying saucers—an eye-catching travel accessory with personality.
Travel Journals and Letterpress Goods by Elum
For travelers who appreciate paper over pixels, Elum Designs offers elegant journals, sketchbooks, notepads and notecards printed on 100 percent cotton-rag paper with soy-based inks. Their selection includes desk accessories, gift bags and event décor, and their custom letterpress is available for invitations or special-occasion stationery. A thoughtfully written note or a hand-sketched journal entry adds a personal touch that digital messages can’t replicate, making Elum’s goods ideal for the traveler who values tactile, well-made paper products.
Mujjo Phone Cases and Touchscreen Gloves
Netherlands-based Mujjo offers premium leather phone cases designed with travel in mind. Many cases include a convenient credit-card slot and are available in a new olive shade, with leather-covered buttons, a raised bezel for screen protection and soft Japanese microfiber linings. Mujjo also produces high-quality touchscreen gloves in single- and double-layer leather, leather crochet and knitted silver-coated nylon fiber, available in several colors. These items help keep devices safe and usable in cold weather, making them practical gifts for tech-savvy travelers.
Comrad Compression Socks
Compression socks can be both functional and fashionable. Comrad designs travel-friendly compression socks intended to improve circulation, reduce swelling and fatigue during long flights, and speed post-workout recovery. Created by frequent traveler Andrew Ferenci, the socks come in unisex styles and a range of colors and patterns, including tipped solids and stripes. They make a practical gift for anyone who spends hours sitting on planes, trains or in transit.
Moroccan Magic Lip Balms
Moroccan Magic lip balms are a travel staple for dry climates and long-haul flights. Made with USDA organic ingredients and argan oil, and naturally flavored with essential oils, these balms deeply moisturize lips and cuticles without the heavy, waxy finish common to many products. Petroleum-free and child-safe, they are enriched with antioxidants, omega-6 fatty acids and linoleic acid. Available flavors include rose, peppermint eucalyptus, lemon thyme, coconut almond and lavender vanilla—a compact, nourishing option to tuck into a carry-on.
