The Story Hybrid: A Suitcase in a Backpack

Have you heard about The Story’s Suitcase-in-a-Backpack sold exclusively at Target? Wear it as a backpack, but open and pack it as a suitcase. It’s 35L in size and has a water-resistant polyester exterior with a zip-around closure. It has padded shoulder straps, an outside zipper pocket, and holds up to a 17-inch laptop inside. The hybrid travel backpack features interior mess compartments and pockets to separate and store all your items.

What gives this hybrid travel backpack its hot internet buzz and makes people want it is this: The combination backpack-suitcase is spacious yet small enough to qualify as your personal bag, to take along with your carry-on luggage unchecked aboard an airplane. In other words, you can board with 2 unchecked bags and no fees! It fits under an airline seat! As a bonus, when you’re pushing it to your gate to board your plane, it has an integrated trolley strap that slips over a wheeled suitcase.

Available in 5 colors, customers buy it to take an extra unchecked bag on an airplane, but the travel hybrid backpack also makes a great lightweight weekend suitcase that holds lots of stuff you can organize! So roomy that if you stuff it to the brim, it gets heavy.

Mini Refillable Perfume Atomizer Bottle

Although I lean towards botanicals and don't spray myself with perfume often, I still recognize a clever, practical innovation when I see one. The portable Mini Refillable Perfume Atomizer Bottle is a travel tool for perfume mavens. Made of an aluminum case and with a glass interior receptacle, you hook it onto the small cylinder hose under the lifted-off nozzle of your full-sized perfume bottles to fill the mini up, then carry it with you leaving your cumbersome perfume bottles at home. Without the atomizer mechanism, it would be impossible to remove the perfume from a spray bottle. The mini travel-size atomizer bottle is a durable and leak-proof slender aluminum case. 

Since I don't own many bottles of perfume, perhaps I could fill it up with sanitizer or rubbing alcohol ... saving the costs of having to buy travel sizes. This slender spray cylinder will lighten your load on the road. Genius spray tool and a definite for perfumes!
