Best Holiday Gifts for Travelers

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service

P: (631) 587-8500

Whether you are a Jetsetter by choice or by force (another business meeting, again?) - frequent traveling can be a whirlwind. Luckily there are plenty of things on the market that can make your time en route more bearable.
 

So in case you needed help on your holiday wish list this year - we rounded up some of our favorite items for travel:

A comfortable neck pillow - An ideal pillow for travel should keep your neck in a neutral position. The problem with many travel pillows on the market, and sold in airports, is that they are too thick and end up pushing your head too far forward (thus putting strain on your neck and back muscles). That’s where the Evolution Pillow by Cabeau outshines the rest. This memory-foam pillow has a flat thin rear cushion that wont push your head forward. What more? There’s a pocket to hold an MP3 player or phone for hands free listening, adjustable front toggles to keep the pillow in place, a machine washable velour cover, and it can fold down to 1/4 of its size! (Evolution Pillow: $35)

A portable charger - While some airlines have the added perk of chargers at the seats - others do not. And we can think of only a few things more frustrating than landing at an airport with no battery and limited charging options. The Zolt Charger ($100) can charge your laptop, phone, and tablet at once. The Anker Astro Portable Power Bank ($30 and up) however can identify your exact device type to deliver its fastest possible charge speed!

Noise canceling headphones - Nothing beats some peace and quite. Bose’s Quiet Comfort 25 headphones are well worth their higher price tag. With superior comfort, they also offer a deep, powerful sound to tune out the world around you. Compatible with both Apple and Android, the built in microphone and remote allows for you to use the headphones for phone calls as well. (Bose Quiet Comfort 25: $300)
 

A camera - Having something to document your travels is key. If your go to camera happens to be your iPhone, check out the Moment’s lenses ($99 each). They simply screw onto the back of your phone like a DSLR lens, giving you the option for telephoto lens and wide lens photos. For more action packed adventures or unique captures, the Narrative Clip ($200) or GoPro ($129+) may be more your speed.

Or, ask for the ultimate travel gift - the gift of Dynasty Limousine! We provide professional transportation services in Long Island, New York City, and surrounding areas 24/7 and are available for airport pick ups and drop offs at all major NYC airports.
