Get ahead of the game

And never leave your phone charger or sunscreen at home again! The free PackPoint app, given just a few key details, will check the weather at your destination and serve up a customized packing plan with recommendations for clothing, electronics and toiletries.

Simplify getting through security

Everyone knows to transport their prescriptions in properly-labeled bottles, but what to do about those meds needing refrigeration? Packit lunchboxes and containers are meant to keep food cold and fresh, but they work well for medications too. These beauties keep their cool for ten hours, and the compact package handily slips out of your carry-on for smooth sailing through security checks.

Wine or whine

Have a special bottle of rum, wine or perfume you picked up as a memento for back home? We know suitcase handlers are gorillas, so protect your precious cargo (and save your clothes from disaster) with the VinniBag. This inflatable accessory provides ample cushioning for bottles and prevents leakage with a bottom flat that buckles up.

So much media

So few earbud jacks. With the intrepid Belkin RockStar, five pairs of headphones can be connected to one portable media device. Now no one is left out in the silence, and the whole group can enjoy the show.

Improve your image

Tattered paper postcards that never get mailed just don’t cut it. Make sure Auntie Em or Granny Annie know you are thinking about them, and send a Postagram. This brilliant app lets you choose a photo from your smarphone, Instagram or Facebook, and add a personal message. For just $2, an actual glossy postcard is printed and mailed to your peeps back home. So you can sit back and capture the kudos at the next family gathering!
