These cool wallets are made from either bison or moose leather and are perfect for keeping your possessions safe…not to mention feeling much more comfortable.

Speaking of comfort, are you interested in a little added comfort for your long plane, train, or automobile rides? A Trtl Pillow (AKA Turtle) is just what you need! This cozy neck wrap is specially formed to cradle your neck and jaw. Imagine falling asleep totally relaxed and supported while still sitting upright. And you wake up without a crink in your neck!

Do you know what to wear? When you’re traveling, there’s nothing like wrinkled clothing to crumple a whole day. But at The Popinjay, you can find an assortment of travel friendly wrinkle-free clothing that will make your trip smooth. Whether you are drawn to bright, flowy floral patterns or cool, solid dark items, you are sure to find something that will survive your whole trip tucked away in a suitcase and be ready for a night on the town in an instant. And these fabulous pieces are made right here in the US.

We all know traveling can feel a little bit chilly, no matter how warm your destination may be. A cozy duster from Barefoot Dreams solves this in a heartbeat. The buttery soft material is like a cloud. You can totally imagine wearing it out and about, looking great, or cuddling up inside it like a blanket while sitting in a plane or car.

Or a nifty lint roller that fits right in your bag and twists up like a lipstick. And don’t forget a cute microcloth or popular Peeps eyeglass cleaner. Need some new sunglasses or readers? Well, at The Popinjay, you can get either – or both! They even have fun sunglass readers so you are set for a day by the pool.

Of course, no day by the pool is perfect without a good book and a cold drink. Here, you can find a fun assortment of books that are sure to entertain and educate. And their water bottles are designed to keep drinks hot or cold for up to 12 hours.

Traveling somewhere that is more wet than sunny? Look no further than Popinjay’s rain slickers, some of which are designed to fold right into their own pockets. Not to mention their classy water repellent capes.
