Can't decide which of your favorite scents to take with you on the road? This silver-plated atomizer lets you take two. The double screw-top vials measure a compact 2 1/8 inches high by 1 5/8 inches wide by just 7/8 inch thick. With its black velvet carrying pouch, it costs $23 through the She-Works catalog (800-201-3669) or online at www.she-works.com.
A wrinkle eraser
Rowenta's Steam 'n Press combines a great travel iron with a gentle steambrush for safely taking the wrinkles out of almost any fabric, no matter where you are. A transparent, removable water tank and dual voltage capabilities make it perfect for traveling. It costs $39.99 and is available at Linens 'n Things (866-568-7378) and Sharper Image stores (and through the SI catalog, telephone 800-344-4444), and online at www.lnt.com, www.sharperimage.com, www.cooking.com, and www.joann.com.
Brush up, down, anywhere
One of the nastiest parts of long-distance traveling is that fuzzy-mouth feeling of having gone too long between brushings. Toothettes can help remove the fuzz. These individually wrapped, disposable toothbrushes require no water – your saliva activates the minty cleaner in each slightly abrasive, pink foam head, and there's no need to rinse. They cost about $5 for a package of 20, and are available in the Magellan's catalog (800-962-4943); and online at www.magellans.com.
