Shopping for loved ones who travel just got easier. With so many cool travel gift ideas, there’s no reason to give a single boring gift this year.

Go-Comb

Everyone wants to look good while they’re taking traveling photos. This is where the Go-Comb comes in. This travel-friendly product is made from high-grade stainless steel and fits easily in your pocket or in your wallet along with your credit cards.

Heather Burkman came up with the idea for the product when she spotted her uncle using a plastic comb that didn’t fit his wallet and was “awkwardly hanging out on the side.” She ran a kickstarter campaign for a new and improved every day comb, and the rest was history.

 This comb works for all hair types, long and short. It’s also useful for beards and mustaches. It comes in a variety of choices ranging from fine tooth to wide tooth depending on what works for your hair. It doesn’t just stop there.

It’s not just a comb, it’s also a bottle opener! The little hooked part acts as a handy opener for your favorite bottled beverage. It can also double as an emergency teeth-checker after that spinach salad.
