X-mini II Capsule Speaker (Price: $30) Road Warriors spend a lot of their off hours in their hotel room catching up on worked missed. Whether it’s reading emails, writing proposals or simply relaxing from a long day of work on the road, speakers seem a more plausible option then headphones. One thing that many hotels lack is a nice speakers system to listen to your favorite tunes. The X-mini II Capsule Speaker offers an option for music lovers that is easy to pack.

The 128GB Magnum USB 3.0 Flash Drive comes with a 5 year warranty. Powermat Portable Charging Mat (Price: $99) The Powermat Portable Charging Mat can be plugged into a single traditional outlet. You will now be able to charge three electronic devices at the same time. Why did it make the list? The mat folds perfectly to fit in any travel bag or suite case.
