6 tech gifts for travelers under $30

For those of us who travel a lot, tech is it's own gift. It's our lifelines, our memory preservers, our connection home to our families (thank you, universe, for video chat, on behalf of all parents who travel). And sometimes, tech is our way of keeping our families happy so we can get a little vacation out of our vacation too.

While these are all $30 or less, at any price, we'd love love to get all of them under the tree this year.

 

Nikon LensPen
Found this handy camera lens and screen cleaner recently and loved it so much, it's in our Holiday Tech Gift Guide for photographers. But anyone on the road will appreciate the handy size that's made for travel. ($7.99, Amazon)Coloud In-Ear Heapdhones
We've learned that sometimes the most expensive headphones aren't the best headphones for travel. Especially when you have the tendency to leave them on the plane. Ahem. Sweden's Coloud makes some very cool, affordable earbuds in great colors.  ($14.99, Target)


Belkin TuneCast Universal
When you find yourself in a rental car without Sirus/XM it's nice to have a gadget like this, which lets you play all your MP3s through the car's FM tuner. ($29.99, Belkin)
