Traveling is exhausting. There’s a reason that people come home complaining that they need a vacation after their vacation. The airport is mentally taxing, sightseeing is physically draining, and all the overeating leaves us feeling lethargic. The last thing anyone wants to do while traveling is work. If only there was a device that could eliminate some of the everyday tasks that waste our time and energy while on the road. Without a doubt, stirring things is the biggest time burglar of all. Think about all of the hours you’ve spent on vacations stirring your coffee, tea, baby formula, mixed drinks, and protein shakes. You could have used all of that time to go sightseeing, explore ancient ruins, or watch television. You’ll never get that time back! It’s one thing for me to sit around stirring things at SkyMall Tuesday headquarters; but I can’t be bothered to waste that time (and risk injury to my wrist) when I’m away from home. Thankfully, SkyMall saw the problem and found a solution. The next time you need to mix solid into liquid (or combine any number of liquids, for that matter), be sure to use the Auto-Mixing Travel Mug.

Most of us who have had to fork over a buck or two for bottled water or coffee on US Airways – the only major domestic airline to implement such a charge (back in August of 2008) – would agree that it was one of the hardest of the new “à la carte” airlines fees to swallow. Happily, the airline announced today that, beginning March 1, it will reinstate complimentary beverages on all of its flights. Read more
