Tech essentials
The right travel gadget can make any trip run a little more smoothly: A universal adapter is a must for international travel, a portable charger keeps your phone powered through long days out, and an AirTag makes it easier to keep track of checked luggage. For long travel days, Bose’s best-selling noise-canceling headphones help tune out the commotion; a Kindle—and a hands-free page turner for the particularly devoted reader—can make hours in transit fly by.
Travelers who like to keep up with their routines wherever they are will appreciate the latest Ōura Ring for tracking sleep and activity. While too bulky to travel with, Hatch’s Restore—one part sound machine, one part reading light, and one part alarm clock that gradually brightens to mimic the sunrise—will make winding down and waking up at home easier, even if post-trip jet lag persists. (And if they become attached to the noise machine aspect, you can also follow up this gift with a Hatch Go!)
