If you need to get some rest while you travel, or anytime that you’re sitting upright, the TravelRest pillow from HiGear Design may be just what you’re looking for.

The TravelRest pillow is an inflatable travel pillow, with a patented ergonomic shape and tethered design.  Tethered means that it can be either tethered to a seat back (for in the car use) or to the user, messenger bag-style.  Nestle it up against your shoulders and neck, tuck it between you and the armrest, drape it across your chest, or just cuddle up with it.

Works in any airline seat, automobile, train, bus, chair or sofa, or even when sitting against a wall, allowing you to sleep anywhere, anytime in comfort and with support.

Although I haven’t personally tried out this travel pillow, and my favorite way to sleep while flying in on a lay-flat seat in Business Class, this looks like it might just do the trick for all those times that Plan A doesn’t work out.

Cuddly Travel Pillow Provides Support

That’s what I think about the Canvas Tool Bag from Klein Products.  Klein has been around for over 150 years, originally making pliers, and now selling a broad product line for the construction, electronics, and mining industry.  They make things that will stand up to hard use and last.

Their Canvas Tool Bag comes in a heavy duty #8 natural canvas, with a moisture resistant vinyl bottom and lower sides.  This baby is durable enough to carry tools – and tools are heavy.  Along with those heavy duty features, some nice touches include a nice wide opening (all the better to pack and unpack your things), stitched and riveted leather handles and restraining straps (these babies aren’t going to rip off), and there are non-scratch studs on the base to protect against wear (and make sure that this bag doesn’t scratch anything else either).

If it’s strong enough to tote around a bunch of tools, just think how it would stay up to miles and miles of air travel. Put your laptop in a sleeve, and pack it and all your other electronics gear in the tool bag.  Or you could use it to pack for a weekend away.  It would work as a gym bag, shopping tote, or even a fun weekend bag.

The tool bag comes in varying sizes, starting at 14 inches and going up to 20 inches, and is available in fun colors of blue, orange, and yellow, as well as natural canvas.  Look for a Klein Canvas Tool Bag at your favorite online or local hardware store.  Prices start around $70.

Canvas Tool Bag Makes Good Weekend Tote

Magellan’s Travel Medicine Case will allow you to pack all your medications, vitamins and medical supplies, in one place, keeping everything handy and available for security clearance.

The frame of the bag is structured, so everything is protected and stays in place.  There are three movable dividers to keep everything organized, and a spot for a cold pack if you need to keep medications refrigerated.  A zip-out vinyl pouch allows you to separate small items, or to divide up medications for a short day trip, and a separate zippered pocket is perfect if you need to carry syringes.

When you need to open the bag it zips completely around to open, and lays flat, making it easy for you to get into, as well as to display the contents should you need to when going through security.  All your meds are securely packed away, organized and safe, and handy to get to when you need them.

Don’t let health issues, and the need to travel with substantial amount of medications, keep you from enjoying travel.  Carrying your meds in a dedicated case is one of the products that can help make your trip a little easier.

On sale now at Magellan’s, $19.85.
