Small but Mighty: Holiday Gifts for Travelers Who Never Check a Bag

They say it's the journey, not the destination that counts. But when it comes to the rigors of being up in the air and on the road, the journey is usually the worst part.

Your traveler friend probably wants to avoid being slammed with annoying fees and waits at the baggage claim. He/she probably would like to pack everything and still pass the dreaded size check. These gifts have to get squished into a suitcase or bring through security in a carry-on bag.

Fortunately, everything from toiletries to electronics and necessities to luxuries are now being down-sized to meet TSA requirements. These gifts for travelers are great as stocking stuffers for Christmas, and they barely take up any room in your shopping cart.
