TRAVEL SCRABBLE

Road trips, train rides, cruises and camping are more fun with a classic board game. With this magnetic Scrabble board (meant to resemble the 1948 board design) you will never lose a game piece. The metal case (about 20 cm by 11 cm) gives it an industrial look, though it also makes it a bit heavy ($49 at restorationhardware.com).

F1 PAPER SOAPS

It's hard to travel and not get dirty. These 25 sheets of soap are lightweight and dissolve in water, be it from a plastic bottle or an airplane sink ($5 at flight001.com).
