RFID blocking/anti-theft travel wallet
This gift idea makes the perfect travel companion. There’s plenty of room to keep your cell phone and passport safe. It also blocks RFID readers to protect against electronic identity theft.
There’s room for 6 cards (or more) plus space for cash. Zip closed and drop it into your day bag or carry it as a wristlet (the strap is removable).
- Strap Drop: 5.5 inches; Pockets: 2 slip, 1 exterior, 6 card slots
Anti-theft crossbody bag
An anti-theft crossbody bag is an absolute travel essential for women in my book.
This Travelon bag has zippers that lock shut so that you know that nobody can just slip the zipper open while you’re not paying attention. There’s also an RFID-blocking compartment to protect your credit cards from electronic identity theft.
The bag body and strap are slash resistant making it far less likely that a purse snatcher will be able to easily cut the strap and get away with your bag. It’s also very lightweight and surprisingly roomy, holding all the essentials you’ll need for your day of exploring.
- The perfect sized bag for carrying everyday items as well as a small iPad or reader.
- This lightweight cross-body bucket bag is very comfortable to wear, it offers a slash proof strap that can be attached to a post or table with ease.
- The front and main locking compartments offer slash proof construction for peace of mind along with the RFID reader blocking card slots. The outside mesh panels easily store a water bottle and umbrella.
Sleep mask
This one is a great affordable gift for female travelers. A good quality sleep mask is a must for me on a long-haul or red-eye flight, and I sure love mine!
Look for an adjustable mask like this one so you can adjust it to the pressure you’re most comfortable with and completely block out light. And there’s plenty of room for your eyelashes so you can blink freely and won’t destroy your eye makeup.
It’s hand-washable and comes in a ton of fun colors and patterns to match your personality.
- ULTRA LIGHT WEIGHT: Our contoured eye mask is 3.5″ tall by 9.5″ wide, perfect for men, women and children
