There’s no place like home. Except for a holiday home. And, whether your holiday ‘home’ is a caravan, a cottage in the middle of nowhere, or a series of cute Airbnbs, these days it’s easy to take the comforts of home with you wherever you go.
To help you vacation in comfort this festive season, we’ve done some research and found some nifty travel gadgets you didn’t know you needed – until now. You’ll even appreciate some of them if you’re stay-cationing, says Trevor Brewer, Director of Air Treatment Specialists, Solenco.
Keeping in touch:
- Walkie talkies will help you communicate in areas where cell-phone connectivity is poor.
Technology:
- Noise cancelling headphones are a must, especially if you’re going to be flying somewhere.
- A mini surge protector for your appliances and gadgets is a no-brainer, because loadshedding is still a thing.
- A clip-on lens set for your smartphone camera can up your photo-game with fisheye, super-wide and macro options.
Luggage:
- Fingerprint padlocks will secure your bags without you having to remember a code (or forget a code, as the case may be).
Health and wellbeing:
- A portable, rechargeable air circulator will keep you cool and help keep mosquitos at bay, even if there’s no electricity.
Brewer says, “It’s possible to stay cool no matter what level loadshedding is on, and wherever you happen to be. Solenco’s MeacoFan 260C Cordless Air Circulator is perfect for power outages as it doesn’t rely on a constant power source. Secondly it comes with a light and is very quiet which makes it the perfect addition to the bedside table. It can be charged via a standard USB port and runs for 14 hours on a single charge. In addition, most battery and inverter backups will run the Meaco Fan 260c bigger siblings including the Meaco Fan 650, 1056 and 1056 Pedestal Fan due to their low energy consumption.”
With its long ‘battery-life’ and compact, lightweight design which will fit into your hand luggage, this air circulator is perfect for accompanying you on your holiday. Bush, berg or beach, it will keep you cool, and won’t disturb your much deserved peace and relaxation.
