We all have friends who are always on the lookout for the best travel deals, maximize their credit card rewards, know their passport details, and stay up in the wee hours of the morning to book cheap flights. They’re always hopping to the next destination and trust that they will have an itinerary ready in a jiffy for your trip. We love them because they make our hard-earned vacation even better! This yuletide season, show your appreciation for these “kaladkarin’ friends with these practical travel-related gifts:

Momax Pinpop Tracker (P650)

Horror story: you made it to your destination, but you left one of your pieces of luggage behind. While this is every traveler’s worst nightmare, you can travel with the peace of mind from knowing where your checked-in baggage is when you place a Momax Pinpop Tracker. At just P650, it’s the more affordable option for Apple’s AirTag.

TESSAN Universal Travel Adapter (Starts at P583)

When traveling abroad, one of the first things you need to check is the type of plug that they have, so you can charge your devices and use your tools. You’re lucky if your hotel provides an adapter already, but in case it doesn’t, it’s practical to bring your own instead. The TESSAN Universal Travel Adapter has interchangeable plugs for the US, UK, Australia, Japan, etc., and can charge up to 6 devices at once.

P.S. The Paper Bunny is finally in the Philippines, with its first international store right at Uptown Mall in BGC.
