Travel

As much as we love our homes, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting out and seeing the world. These gifts will help keep your loved ones safe no matter where they are while also making the most of life on the road.

Smart Lock

There’s no better way to keep an eye on the house while you’re on vacation than with a smart lock, especially when it’s paired with another device like a security camera. With Schlage smart locks, your loved one can check the status of their deadbolt from anywhere, receive notifications on their smartphone if the built-in alarm detects a breach, and provide trusted friends and family with access to their home to check on pets or drop off the mail. Perfect for homeowners on the move, security-conscious travelers and pet lovers.

TWIST Plus World Adapter DUO

If your loved one is a world traveler, they know the struggle of charging standard American electronics in international outlets. This adapter provides options for a variety of devices in a variety of countries. Perfect for intrepid explorers, backpackers and business travelers.

Phone sanitizer

Your loved one’s phone picks up germs no matter where they go, maybe even more so when they’re on the road. This UV-CLEAN Phone Sanitizer claims to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses using UV-C germicide LEDs. It’s compact for easy travel with no wipes to throw away.

Perfect for day trippers, globe trekkers and anyone who likes their hands free for the next adventure.

Noise Cancelling Headphones

Long flights, chaotic bus terminals and noisy hostels are all things your favorite traveler might encounter on the road.
