Gifts for light travelers

Gift-giving time is rapidly approaching and some who visit OBOW may be looking for can’t-miss gift ideas for that strange, light traveling person in their life. OBOW readers, please share your travel item wish lists - or even those of your light traveling spouse - so that others may benefit.

I have two simple suggestions. The metal-free belt from Bison Designs is just terrific. It can be left on through the metal detector and can be discreetly loosened on those long plane rides. I wear mine about four days a week and couldn’t live without it. Another easy idea is the shoulder strap upgrade. You can find the comfort king, the Tom Bihn Absolute Strap, here along with lots of other geeky, high-quality travel accessories. A cheaper, similar version by the company that makes the Absolute is available here

Don’t forget wool - the smart and dumb kinds. Premium lightweight wool undies are something many would like to try and winter is a great time to start. This type of personal item is probably best handled with a gift certificate. 

Share your bright ideas…
