Holidays are always an exciting time for any girl as they involve new clothes, new shoes and, of course, the most current gadgets for 21st-century living. Gadgets do not always have to be technical gizmos though and some of them can really enhance your holiday experience. There is a vast array of gadgets available for every holiday and this is my handy guide to the top five around at the moment:

Mendoza Panzer 1890 Trolley Case

An essential for any holiday is a fantastic suitcase and the Mendoza Panzer 1890 Trolley Case is perfect. It is extremely lightweight for a hard-shell suitcase, weighing a mere 6kg. The four 360-degree wheels provide the manoeuvrability which gives the bag a smooth ride around any corner. They are also solid enough to cope with any terrain. The designers have thought of women and their packing needs. There are accessory pouches and a hook belt that holds garments in place. Nice.

A Paracord Bracelet

A paracord bracelet is a must for any savvy female traveller. They are made from three metres of military-grade parachute cord, knotted in a specific way to unravel easily in any emergency situation. Particularly useful for any extended breaks or round the world trips where you may be away from busy built up areas for any length of time. The list of uses for a paracord bracelet is endless. They can be from the mundane, such as repairing a suitcase or handbag strap, to life saving when used as a tourniquet. Though practical, they are stylish and come in a variety of colours and styles. They are a very modern take on the friendship bracelet with an extremely practical use.

Josyflo Pursephone waist belt

Keeping valuables safe on holiday is always difficult and very often a handbag is impractical. The Josyflo Pursephone waist belt is the perfect answer. It is far more stylish than any money belt. What makes it so clever are the hidden pockets, two of which are credit-card sized, which are perfect for money, cards and keys. The phone pocket is large enough to take any modern-day mobile phone. All belts are handcrafted, embroidered and are extremely fashionable. They are manufactured in Bhopal, India and are Fair Trade products.

Wonderbag

On a camping trip with the girls, a Wonderbag is an essential. It is an insulated bag which can cook anything from stews and curries to steamed puddings. Food is initially heated in a saucepan and then placed into the bag and left to continue cooking. Meat, for example, is cooked for twenty minutes and left for a further five hours. This frees up a lot of time to do whatever else you want on your trip. They are extremely eco-friendly as they save energy and water and reduce carbon emissions.

Lifeproof iPhone and iPad cases

Lifeproof is a company that produces phone and tablet cases for the iPhone and iPad. These allow female travellers to relax and enjoy their holiday without the worry of accidental damage. They have been tested for high shock and impact to a military specification. The cases are fully sealed for protection against snow, sand and dust. They are also incredibly light, weighing less than 28 grams. When you are playing music aloud, the Lifeproof case also improves the sound quality as the back of the case works as a sub woofer. Protecting your phone or tablet against all eventualities will mean that you can enjoy a peaceful break.

For a bit of James Bond style, check out this lamp that comes with a gun shaped remote control. Just “shoot” it with the infrared remote to turn it on or off. When it’s on the lampshade is upright and when you shoot it off it falls to one side. Bang!
