For women travelers, here’s an extra safe way to store money and small valuables. A bra stash is a tiny wallet that hooks to your bra strap and keeps your valuables safe.

I have to say that these gifts are very unusual and unique. The bra stash wallet is something my wife could use as she hates using her purse all the time. The silk sleep sack would come in handy at the airport thru the long delays. Great Ideas. Thanks for the tips.
I think that Portable Solar Charging Kit is the best gift for travellers.
