Researched intensively. Still used extensively. Asked about frequently.
From elegant design to enviable functionality, this is a short list of the things I'm proud to carry, use, and share. If something is here, I still use it and believe you would love it too.
The Best Travel Pillow, Finally
I’ve tested my way through the internet’s favorite travel pillows—the quirky-shaped ones, the inflatable contraptions—none worked. Too stiff, too flimsy, too awkward, too restrictive. None of my travel pillows were perfect for me.
Until that is, I happened upon Coop’s AirJustable travel pillow.
Travel Charging Station
Extra ports for plugging in when you are out—all while ditching the big MacBook power brick.
Cable Winder
Simply smart product design that wrangles piles of cables and adds thoughtful design features.
Wired Earphone Case
With a satisfying snap and substantial edge flip, this case is the fastest, easiest, and awesomest case yet (while still having a low price that betrays its top-notch quality).
Perfect Passport Wallet
Super slim. Super soft. Shockingly rare sleeve form factor.
Plus RFID protection.
I hunted far and wide to find this wallet.
Damn, it was worth it.
Travel and Laptop Backpack
From trips to the coffee shop to being the only bag I carry for multi-day international work trips, this backpack’s thoughtful, nuanced design and incredible quality continue to bring me “travel gear joy.”
