Gifts to Blow Wanderlusters Away

Oakland-based Cincha is on a mission to solve one of the most annoying aspects of travel: When the purse or backpack you thought was safely perched on top of your rollie falls to the ground in dramatic fashion. Their adjustable, Shark Tank–approved travel belt ($40) wraps around any personal item and secures it with a quick-release buckle to the luggage handle of a suitcase. They’ve got more than a dozen belt colors and patterns to choose from, plus a version with an attached bag that can double as a sling bag. It’s truly the travel essential they never knew they needed. // Shop online at cinchatravel.com.
