Practical Makes Perfect
Holiday gifts put functionality first.
Finding the right present for the frequent flier in your life
may be a little easier this year.
"Holiday gifts for business travelers are going to be very
practical," predicts Baltimore creative sales and trends
consultant Joyce Baker. Among the favorites are watches that
display multiple time zones so travelers can adjust to new
destinations without tinkering with their timepieces.
Another popular present is the carry-along pillow. Designed to
replace the flat, uncomfortable pillows in hotel rooms, products
like Latex Foam Products' executive travel pillows can be
rolled up and transported compactly inside carry-on luggage. The
latex headrest ($29.95) offers more support than hotel pillows and
resists bacteria and dust mites.

Travel-friendly cigar holders and cutters are also in demand.
