With Thanksgiving behind us, we enter the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
Of course that means surprising friends and loved ones with something special, so we thought we’d share a few of the handy and helpful travel items that we discovered this year.
After a week of biking across France with Backroads Travel, we totally fell in love with these shades from Cocoons Eyewear.
They fit right over our regular glasses and kept the wind out of our eyes no matter how fast we glided across Normandy…
…and no watery eyes meant that we never missed an important sign like this one.
Not only are these pants and tops from prAna nearly wrinkle-proof for easy packing, they are all made from sustainable materials such as hemp, organic cotton, and recycled wool.
This means way less energy, pesticides, and fertilizers go into creating every outfit.
We found that they are also more than comfortable enough for hiking or riding bikes all day, then good looking enough to hit the town after dark.
Safty is always an issue while globe trotting, and the TARRISS GoDark Privacy Bag provides an added measure of it.
Inside the stylish cover an industrial strength Faraday cage is hidden and it stops hacking cold by blocking ALL incoming and outgoing signals to our smartphones and tablets.
We realize that life isn’t all about travel, so we have these fun and festive…

We wish you a happy, humorous, and healthy, holiday season – filled with the joy that an advent of avoiding the crowds and ignoring how many shopping days are left until Christmas can bring.
And remember… when reaching to place a star upon the highest bough, that Bumbles bounce!
