Holiday Gift Ideas for Travelers

ts_Powermat_091116.jpg
Gadget-loving geeks might like the Powermat, which cuts down on the cords and chargers you need to lug around. It folds up (see picture below) for easy packing in your carry-on.  

Wondering what to get the travelaholic in your life this holiday season?  You might grab some ideas from this Associated Press article that compiles gift advice from the likes of Pauline Frommer of the Pauline Frommer guidebooks, Brett Snyder of The Cranky Flier, the gear experts over at Magellan's, and yours truly. The A.P. asked me to contribute gift ideas not only for road warriors (thus the Powermat recommendation) but also for families, so in the article you'll also find my tried-and-true gift advice for peripatetic parents of young children. Should your giftee fit neither profile, consider a couple more items I've used for years and swear by: the best travel pillow I know and the best women's laptop pocketbook. Happy Cyber Monday!
