Top 5 Travel Gifts
1) Urban 21 Commuter Backpack
This water-resistant and travel-ready backpack will let you arrive to any destination in style—while keeping you cool under pressure. Padding on the back of the bag helps regulate heat and keeps you dry while a top hard shell compartment protects your most delicate items from a rough commute.
2) Expandable Travel Organizer in Green
More than an expandable cosmetic case, this organizer has features that help you keep track of everything whether you’re traveling or at home. Customize the compartments to meet your needs, then unsnap and slide them into a surface area that fits seamlessly over your sink. Use it to store makeup, toiletries, craft supplies, camping essentials, or to keep your stuff separate in a shared bathroom.
3) Mini Zip-Around Card Wallet
A small zip wallet is just what you need to travel lightly. With room for up to ten cards, the accordion-style holder closes neatly even when at full capacity. Smartly designed to store both cards and folded bills, it's a colorful and compact way to carry just what you need.
4) Scratch Off World Map

5) Silicone Organization Band 6-Pack
Organize, wrap, and corral with packing bands that can help out with many jobs. This set of durable and stretchy silicone bands comes with two of each different size. The bands can be linked to work together, or secure one to itself—there’s no metal parts to cause any scratches or snags. A band fits the bill for tasks like keeping clothes tidy in luggage (there’s even indicators for clean and dirty laundry), sealing open bags in the pantry and more.
