Travel Gift Guide: Safety on the Road

Just as many of us were finally feeling more comfortable about travel, and the holidays approached, whiplash! Another Covid-19 variant, another round of juggling of travel plans.

Although US borders recently reopened and many travel restrictions eased, I am staying domestic. And these items can help make local travel safer.

The cute package could encourage kids to clean their hands

Better Wipes

Keeping hands clean is important whether or not there is a pandemic. But many wipes and hand sanitizers irritate skin and dry out hands. Yipes! – “Made for kids. Great to Share with Adults.” are a water based wipe that safely and effectively clean hands – and faces – without harmful chemicals. The hypoallergenic wipes are made without parabens, phthalates or petrolatum and are not tested on animals. Aloe vera keeps skin from drying out.

Clean Hands, Clean Food

Lentil Crunchers, for protein on the go

After you wipe your hands, you can have a snack. Lentil Crunchers are a protein packed savory snack that travel well. The lentils come in 3 flavors: salty, sweet hickory and dill pickle. They are great for satisfying hunger pains on a hike. But I also like them at home, sprinkled on a salad. Much healthier than croutons.

GPS tracker

Keep your valuables safe with a cellular GPS tracker. This lightweight device can help you recover a stolen backpack, bicycle or car. You can even put in your kid’s backpack and keep track of him at a theme park or other crowded setting where he can be separated from you. In the photo at the top, I’ve attached one to my dog’s collar – she didn’t notice the tracker, which weighs just a couple of ounces [word to the wise – don’t try this with a cat].

Some of the ways you can keep track with Invoxia

The Invoxia GPS tracker includes a one year data plan. The tracker can be slipped into your suitcase if you check it when flying – no more lost luggage! The battery lasts for four months, so you don’t have to worry about running out of juice on vacation.

Better Sleep

The wrinkled, satin Sweet Dreams Essentials Set

Are you the type who can’t sleep well away from home? Or at home?

The Sweet Dreams Sleep Essentials Set lets you bring the comfort of home on a plane or to a hotel. The Sweet Dreams Sleep Essentials Set includes a soft satin eye mask to nap on the plane, or block light at home or at a hotel. The satin pillowcase helps decrease frizz or hair breakage. And a satin scrunchie keeps your hair out of our face when you wash it at night or in the morning.

Note: I was sent samples of these products. Opinions are my own.
