Planning your next trip or wondering how to make your commute a bit better? You might want to think about investing in some gadgets that are worth it and will make your life so much easier. We saw plenty of gadgets at this year's Consumer Electronics Show [1], that are ideal for anyone who's a frequent traveler. Check it out for yourself and start breathing a sigh of relief.
Bibelib
Keep track of your luggage wherever you go with Bibelib [5] ($57-$60). The Bibelib is a slip for your suitcase that tracks your luggage and comes with insurance. If it gets lost, a QR code on the luggage helps people identify who it belongs to and how to get it back to you.
Modobag
Don’t walk in an airport ever again with the Modobag [6] ($1,495), the suitcase you can ride. It looks like a regular suitcase, except that it comes with charging outlets [7] and can go up to eight miles per hour.
Movpack
If you like the sound of the Modobag, the Movpack [8] ($799, originally $999, preorder) is also right up your alley. It’s a backpack that comes equipped with an electric skateboard. It goes up to 15 miles per hour, comes with a remote and antitheft alarm, and so much more. You can buy it in six colors and two different weight models.
Hybrid Smartwatches
Don’t want to wear a smartwatch or travel with it anywhere? Consider investing in one of Fossil Group’s many hybrid smartwatches. Many of them, like the newest one from Armani Exchange [9] ($175), will track your steps and sleep and alert you of any notifications from your phone.
Reliefband Neruowave
Control your nausea anywhere with Reliefband Neurowave [10] ($150). The newest addition looks like a fitness tracker and comes with 10 “intensity settings” to help you feel less nauseous. It’s perfect for anyone who gets queasy on their commute or on planes and boats. You can also get the previous version of the product for $95.
Kérastase Hair Coach Powered by Withings
Anyone who’s ever traveled knows that you’re never sure what the weather somewhere else will do to your hair. With the Kérastase Hair Coach Powered by Withings [11] ($200), you can learn more about what’s happening to your hair and how to fix it. The brush can track a variety of factors [12] like how you brush your hair and if you’re combing too vigorously, and it takes into account the humidity and wind levels in your area. With all this information, it gives you a score and recommends tips on what you can do to help your hair.
