In our Journey Issue we explored some of the zanier travel gizmos and gadgets out there for consumers. Here are a few more of the APEX media team’s favorites:

TOOTHETTES

Had to include this one. These are so clinical-looking and swabby, I don’t think I’d want to pull them out in public…but anything for the sake of fresh breath, no water needed?

CHIN STICK

I want this chin-stick so that I can both relax while waiting in a queue and have a handy weapon on the ready to keep any budgers in line – pun intended!

MICRO LUGGAGE FROM SWISS MICRO MOBILITY

This is great for those of use whose bodies give them heck during the travel experience. Not only do the wheels take a load off of your back and arms, but the built-in scooter gives those tired feet a rest and also makes you look *super cool.*

My penchant for travelling with a mini-library’s worth of books tends to always put me in the danger zone as far as weight limits go, and this little gizmo helps me balance my baggage (and anxiety) much more easily than past attempts at using the bathroom scale went.

SKYREST TRAVEL PILLOW

I always dream of bringing my own pillow on a flight but not only is it the most inconvenient item to carry around, I also feel like a sever-year old child dragging around a teddy bear. Enter the SkyRest pillow since it inflates and deflates for convenient storage and you’re only really embarrassing yourself in front of a select few passengers.

VECTOR CUP HOLDER

Nothing makes me more nervous on a flight than the unpredictable occurrence of liquids being spilled on me or my belongings. Instead of chugging down my drink as soon as it’s handed to me, this handy cup holder can secure my beverage of choice for hours if needed, as I work away on laptop.
