Holiday season is here again, and for the friend, family member, or colleague who’s obsessed with travel, gift buying can be a dilemma. Not many of us can afford to send our loved ones around the world, but we can make their trips a little more convenient and enjoyable through travel gadgets. Here are some of our favorites.

Flight 001 Travel Fitness Kit $48

Unless you’re heading off on an adventure-packed vacation, staying fit while on holiday can be a challenge. It’s not always easy to find a gym, or the time to work out. The Flight 001 kit solves that problem, offering an easy way to work out in a hotel room or outdoors, almost like taking a gym around the world with you.

Micro Luggage $299

Getting around airports is a huge hassle, so why not make it more entertaining and a workout too? Micro Luggage is one of those special pieces of luggage that doubles as a scooter as well. So if you’re close to missing your flight you can hop onto your luggage and glide to your gate, being the coolest/most annoying person in the terminal at the same time.

Dodow Sleep Aid Device $59

Sleep in an unfamiliar place can be elusive, and when you add jet lag into the equation, you can end up spending hours of your holiday staring at a hotel ceiling, willing yourself to go to sleep. The Dodow Sleep Aid Device could be the answer to that problem. The device is a metronome with a light system that teaches you to fall asleep naturally. According to the manufacturers, people who usually take 60 minutes to get to sleep take no more than 25 minutes with the Dodow.
