Top 5 Travel Gifts
1) Cotton Mask & Stretch Cord Holder Set

LA LOOP: Cotton Mask & Stretch Cord Holder Set - Black Mask & Black Cord
2) Travellr Dopp Case

Based on a traditional dopp kit, this handcrafted men’s travel accessory is scaled down to streamline bulk while providing enough room for essentials. Full grain leather is pulled together with copper rivets and brass hardware for a traditional—and durable—finish.
3) Urban 21 Commuter Backpack

This water-resistant and travel-ready backpack will let you arrive to any destination in style—while keeping you cool under pressure. Padding on the back of the bag helps regulate heat and keeps you dry while a top hard shell compartment protects your most delicate items from a rough commute.
4) Men's Natural Rubber Sandals

These natural rubber sandals are made from soft, sustainably grown latex that conforms to your feet—so you’ll almost feel like you’re barefoot. Inspired by 5, 000 year-old traditional Indian wooden sandals, the angled strap hugs your foot to give a secure fit and prevent that flip-flopping sound, too. For every pair bought a tree is planted in Africa, suited to the specific needs of a community.
5) X2 Dual USB Car Charger

Charge two devices at once—at twice the speed of a regular wall charger. One of the ports uses intelligent recognition, reading your device then charging as fast as possible from 2 to 2.4 amps. The remaining charge port powers up with two amps. Compact, lightweight, and pocket-sized, you'll be able to charge your devices on the go wherever you are.
