GREAT TRAVEL GADGETS
By Madelyn Miller
BE A LIGHTWEIGHT TRAVELER
Everyone knows you should pack light, but that is easier said than
done. I have found some travel “miniatures” that do a big job for a minimum
amount of space and weight in your suitcase (that is how I measure value
when I travel)
The Mini-Cyclone Hair Dryer
What is 10 oz.. and fits in the palm of your hand and helps create
super-hair? The Mini-Cyclone Hair Dryer is the smallest hairdryer in the
world. This amazing little hairdryer includes optional high and low speeds,
a detachable micro-concentrator and it all fits neatly into a zippered
travel pouch. Even though many hotels have in-room hair dryers, the Mini-Cyclone
Hair Dryer gives me a lot of peace of mind for just over half a pound.
Garment Steamer
Even if your hotel offers irons…you will probably have to call down
for an ironing board. And I think it is so much easier to use a steamer
because it never presses in wrinkles (and I am a lousy ironer) The Travel
Smart Garment Steamer is the best one I have found. It weighs just
over a pound..but most important it is designed so there is no accidental
water spillage (even if the unit is turned upside down) At $35, it is about
the cost of getting a suit pressed 5 times. And I use mine at home, too.
Mini-Masseuse Massager
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a massage every time you checked into a
hotel room? Or even a small shoulder rub? For about the cost of 10 minutes
of massage time, you can get your own lightweight, battery operated Mini-Masseuse
Massager. And it only weighs 8 oz.
These products are available at Walmart, Kmart, Brookstone, Sharper
Image and most luggage and airport gift shops.
Waterpik™ Flosser
Some people have to have their special pillow. Other people
always take pictures of their family. Some people sleep better with their teddy
bear. But I have a new "must take" travel accessory--my Waterpik™
Flosser.
Both my Mom and the dentist must be proud of me.
Because I not only take it everywhere, I use it. I am now a
completely flossed woman.
