Top 5 Travel Gifts
1) MedPlanner Medicine Organizer

The MedPlanner Medicine Organizer neatly and discreetly corrals medication, medical devices, and other healthcare essentials. The hardshell, ringed case holds seven zip-top pouches (that you can write on) and has a stretchy grid which works together to organize medication, vitamins, or small devices like an inhaler, EpiPen, or insulin. An easy-open loop was made for folks with dexterity issues in mind.
2) Rechargeable Portable Fan

On the go, at home, or at the office, this portable, rechargeable fan handily provides a cool-down when you need one. Its small but powerful design can be used handheld or in its stand that sticks (and can be moved and re-stuck) to surfaces—even upside down. The fan can also give a device a quick power-up thanks to an integrated USB charging port.
3) Plantar Fasciitis Compression Socks

OS1st: Plantar Fasciitis Compression Sleeve Natural - Medium
4) Near-Ear Bluetooth Speaker

You don’t have to negotiate between wireless speakers or earphones. These Bluetooth beach speakers create a personal, near-ear listening experience to give you the best of both. They’re heat-, sand-, and splash-proof—and they work beyond the beach, too. Listen to your favorite tunes, still hear what’s going on around you, and leave others free from hearing your music.
5) Kozikicks Women's Slippers

From the work day to work outs, these versatile shoes can go anywhere with you. The flexible, form-fitting design contours to feet and provides comfortable support, no matter what you’re doing—relaxing, running errands, or walking the dog. Pull on a pair with plush, fleece-y lining perfect for cooler weather or perpetually cold toes.
