2) Cloth Travel Mesh Bag

3) H Shape Inflatable Travel Pillow

Each and every traveller you meet will vouch that if there’s any downside to travelling, it is the sore neck on a long-haul flight. Inflatable travel pillows make one of the best gifts for travellers.

Each time they move their neck around smoothly after a ten-hour flight, they’ll appreciate your thoughtful gift. After all who wouldn’t like to be able to doze off on a flight without neck jerking off every few minutes.
