Dirty duds carrier
So you don’t want to pay exorbitant hotel drycleaning prices, but you also don’t want your dirty duds to odorise your suitcase, either. Enter the Genius Pack Carry-On Spinner suitcase. While it doesn’t do your laundry for you, it does compress it to take up less room, expelling air through a valve integrated into one compartment of the luggage. Once you’re home, all you have to do is pull the dirty laundry bag compartment out and throw it directly in the wash. About PGK817; geniuspack.com.

Travel scooter
For those travels close to home, the electricpowered Emicro One scooter might become your go-to runabout. It’s motion controlled, meaning it knows when you’re moving before its 500-watt motor kicks in to propel it up to 25kmh. The battery takes one hour to recharge, it weighs only 7.5 kilograms, and there are three modes: eco for a leisurely pace, standard, and sport for when you’re hurrying.
