Plus, even though they’re away, your gift will make them think of you.

So, here are the best gifts for travelers:

Ororo Heated Jacket

When you’re traveling, you don’t have space to bring lots of layers for different climates — that’s what so great about the Ororo jacket. On a cold morning, you can turn on the heater in the coat. When it heats up in the afternoon, turn off the heater and you’ve still got a light jacket to keep you comfortable. Best of all, this coat isn’t going to take up a lot of space in your carry on.
