Presents for work-related travel

Dec 16, 2006 16:03

I'd really like your help with this one, please. I need a present idea for people whose job is to travel for weeks at a time and inventory hospital pharmacies ( Read more... )

travel, gift ideas, free stuff

At first I was thinking that you should give them some of your free toiletry stuff, but then I saw "weeks at a time," so maybe that stuff would be too small.
I've seen travel candles in tins. Those would be nice for making a hotel room smell homey. Along the same lines are the small-size spray room fresheners--not big like lysol/febreeze, but about 6 inches tall. I don't know if those can be taken on a plane though.
Ummm, a travel clothesline and sink stopper so they can wash clothes in a sink?
I'm sure I'll think of some more stuff later...

I personally LOVE those airplane pillows they make specifically for flying. They cushion your neck just right and are so comfortable. For people who travel via plane a lot, those things are awesome.

A year or two back Walmart had these nice trael size pillows & flannel throw sets that are perfect size for traveling. I shove mine in my carryon. If you are crafty, you could probably buy seom flannel fabric and make them yourself.

Neck pillows! Durrrr, that should have been my first thought >_< They are *definitely* getting one each, that's a great idea. Thank you!!

ok, first i totally realize you didn't ask "what can i MAKE someone", and i have no idea if you have any sewing expertise ( ... )

I have one of those! I pretty much never fold it into a pillow, though.

Oooh, that's a fantastic idea! I'm a fairly good sewer, I just didn't write "make" because I was afraid I'd scare people off-- I need any/all suggestions I can get, I was totally stumped! Thank you so much!!!

I travel a lot (although not for business) and I would love a nice fluffy pair of bedroom slippers.

-A good bag for keeping things (like papers maybe) organized? Like one with slots or something.

-Maybe a mini teapot? (since most hotel rooms I've ever been to seem to have a coffeemaker but no teapot) Travel mugs?

-Perhaps a bag for keeping their toiletries organized? I'm think carry on size bag on wheels that they could put on the floor in the bathroom.

Oh well I'm all out of ideas.
