With today's security restrictions, even your innocent nail file or clipper may be suspect. The Travel-Safe Security-Friendly manicure set complies with stricter carry-on luggage regulations. It contains a rounded, chrome-plated plastic file with coarse and fine contoured sides, rounded-tip tweezers, and nail clippers without that problematic mini-file, all tucked neatly inside a black leather travel pouch. The 2-ounce set measures 2-by-4-by- inches. It costs $19.95 through the Magellan's catalog; telephone 800-962-4943 or order online at www.magellans.com.
Minimize and glamorize
Presentworks.com offers a trio of enameled accessories that are great for the guy or gal on the go. The tiny pillbox holds your vitamins or medication for the week; the business card holder can double as a mini-wallet when you're out at night; and the mirrored compact is slim and sturdy. They come in a variety of colorful designs, from the Star of David to rustic leaves to whimsical cats and bugs. They cost $19 to $30 each and are available by calling 800-376-3344 or online at www.presentworks.com
Clean out your mouth
Listerine PocketPacks are tiny, translucent tabs of mint for your mouth. They come 16 to a pack and dissolve almost instantly in a cool burst. The carrying case is about the size of a half-stick of gum. A pack costs $1.10 to $1.50 at Target, Wal-Mart, and most grocery and drugstores. You can also buy them online at www.cvs.com.
