Pluto Pod 
The relentless search for the perfect airplane neck pillow can seem like a lifelong quest, but the Pluto POD may finally prove the solution. Offering the 360-degree support of a neck brace combined with a pillowed hood for ultimate leaning anywhere and a built-in convertible eye mask, this powerhouse pillow was created with input from sleep researchers, flight attendants and frequent travelers. The result is a cool-touch plush collection of support and sleep-aiding features in one compact pillow, and you can use as many or as few as you need at a time, with the hood and eye mask easily tucking without detaching. The POD snaps down into compact travel mode and includes a small carabiner for easy hooking to your carry-on bag. $145.

Memorí Eyewear

Quality eyewear is a must for the constant traveler — and for everyone else, too. Memorí sun- glasses are handcrafted in Italy in small batches, with a maximum production of 100 pieces per style (many styles offer fewer), so you’ll likely never find another person wearing your pair. Lenses provide 100 percent UVA/UVB protection with antiglare coating, and each pair comes in a case handmade in León, Mexico’s renowned leather capital. Intricate metalwork around the frames and elegant touches like hand-pressed gold leaf embellishments are hallmarks of the detail-centric brand that guarantees your shades will never slip down your nose again. Pictured: $330.
