Thu, 11/17/2011 - 22:03 — Anonymous It's the holiday season – which
means it's time to buy some gifts for the favorite traveler on your
list.Here are our top picks for this year.1. Travel Gift CardsOn Cardpool,
you can buy gift cards for your favorite airline or hotel. They have gift
cards saving you from 4% to 17% for places including Disney, Southwest,
American Airlines, US Airways, Jet Blue, Mariott, Hyatt, Four Seasons, and
more. For a traveler who is spending from $100 to $2000 at one of these
places, the savings for such a card can be up to $350! We've previously
written about how you can essentially get a 10% off coupon for American
Airlines by buying gift cards at a discount.2. Touch Digital CameraThe
Olympus Tough Digital Camera is waterproof, shockproof, and freezeproof –
what more could a traveler ask for?3. Universal Power AdapterThere's
nothing like arriving in a new country, trying to plug in your laptop, and
realizing you brought the wrong travel adapter with you. The Universal Power
Adapter gives you an all-in one option for less than $4.4. xShot Camera
ExtenderPerhaps one of the coolest gadgets I got to try out this year was a
pocket xShot. It's pretty much an extendable arm or handheld tripod so
you can take better shots when there's no one around to ask for assistance.
A highly recommended stocking stuffer for only about $19.5. Travel JournalWe
love our Moleskines. There's nothing like the feeling of pen to paper.
One can never have too many blank pages to fill with all their memories. Here
are some more travel journals.6. TuGo Cup HolderWhat an awesome invention, as
when you're rushing through the airport, you never have enough hands. The
TuGo Cup holder ($15) attaches to your bag and allows you to keep moving with
your favorite beverage until you reach the waiting area.7. Any Food Related
