Suunto's Kailash watch

Bottoms up ... and away

Great for wannabe Don Drapers, the Carry-on Cocktail Kit lets you mix up an Old Fashioned at 30,000ft. It includes a cabin friendly bottle of bitters, sugar, recipe card, spoon and specially stitched linen cocktail napkins – just add whisky and stir. £19.99 (thefowndry.com)

Clocking up miles

Watches aren't just for telling the time any more. Suunto's Kailash watch also comes with GPS, tells you what time the sun rises and sets, and records how many countries you've visited and miles you've travelled. Download the app to sync it with an iPhone. £650 (suunto.com)

Put a label on it

With clean lines and bold colours, Nick Cranston's eye-catching wall art evokes the nostalgic golden age of travel. The blown-up luggage tags include destinations such as Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Hong Kong, New York and London. £10, unframed (johnlewis.com)

Mapped out

Test travel geeks' knowledge with Mark Ovendon's Transit Maps of the World: Every Urban Train Map on Earth. The Penguin book covers every rapid transit system on the planet, illustrated with graphics, historic maps and photos. £16.99 (stanfords.co.uk)

Tip your hat

Christys' Natural Jessica Liberty Panama hat is a tropical update to a classic design. Woven from Ecuadorian toquilla straw, the wide-brimmed hat is brightened by a colourful Liberty-print band. Durable and lightweight, it can be rolled up when in transit. £95 (liberty.co.uk)

Save for a rainy day

Tag along

From smart suitcases to battered backpacks, a good tag will dress up any luggage. Chambers & Beau will hand stamp its leather tags with your choice of words, and add an extra message to the small silver plate on top. £32.00 (chambersandbeau.com)

Art therapy

Colouring books are no longer child's play, and Rough Guides has a new travel- themed edition for adults. Colour The World features illustrations of famous sights, including Machu Picchu and Istanbul's Blue Mosque, all waiting to be coloured in. £8.99 (roughguides.com)

On the case

Spotting luggage on the carousel won't be an issue with Tripp's Hibiscus collection. A bright floral print is splashed across the 10 different types of luggage in the range, from hard and soft cases to hold-alls and wheelie duffel bags. Prices from £13 to £59 (tripp.co.uk)

In the bag

Kate Spade's simple but stylish Wash and Wear travel pouches offer a solution for mixed-up clothes on the move. Made of canvas with black drawstring ribbons, they keep clean and dirty clothes separate while stowed in your suitcase or backpack. £20 (amara.co.uk)
