Cool & hip travel gifts to buy for yourself and others

There’s no need to wait for the holidays; let’s go shopping for fun travel gifts now. A mention of the Flight 001 Organic Mobile Foodie Kit in today’s julie b e-news is what inspired me to go hunting for other unique travel gems. Here’s a roundup of fun gifts we could buy for ourselves, or give as gifts if we were feeling generous.

Organic Mobile Foodie Kit: Bring your own spices when you travel. Great for backpackpackers staying in hostels, house swaps and vacation rentals too. ($35, Flight 001)

DreamSack: Do you raise an eyebrow at motel sheets? Bring your own silk sheets. DreamSack has them in various sizes and colors. ($75-$130, DreamSack)

Pack This! notepad: Forget what to pack? You won’t with this handy checklist. Don’t worry if you change your mind; just rip off a sheet and start again. ($6.95, Franklin Covey)

Powerstick: You think your laptop, iPod, camera or cellphone is out of batteries — but then, shazam! Pull out your Powerstick portable charger for an extra 90 minutes of juice. ($69.95, Powerstick)
