It's the time of year for giving and, in this economy, for saving. If you have any travelers on your list, thank them now, because finding an affordable gift for globe-trotters is not too hard to do. Here are a few quick ideas, all for items costing $25 or less:
* This year, baggage fees became a weighty issue for many fliers. A digital luggage scale from Balanzza is the perfect gift for those pack rats on your list. It's stylish, compact and easy to use. All you do is attach the strap to your luggage, lift the bag by the strap, wait for the beep, put the luggage down and read the weight. $24.95 at Target.com or Balanzza.com.
* Urban Mapping's Panamap offers three distinct views - street grid, subway routes and neighborhoods - in a single map depending on the angle at which you view it. The only problem with this map is that it's limited to two cities for now: New York and Chicago. $18.95-$19.95 at Panamap.com.
