Each and every item that he decides to bring, is another thing that he must carry around through the airport or on the train or in a cab. Bring too much, and he might become exhausted.

Travel gifts for men that help them stay fully charged
In this day and age, keeping all of your gadgets charged is perhaps the biggest challenge for frequent travelers. If you’re staying in one place, you can always plug your phone into a wall outlet. But, if you’re on the move, you might not have that luxury. Of course, for a lot of people, being on the road means nearly constant mobile phone use. Whether you’re looking for a restaurant, using the GPS, texting, calling, or emailing, chances are your phone battery will soon be drained. There are a couple of great solutions to this problem. One is a portable charger. These are fantastic since generally, they can be used to charge any device. The only disadvantage is that if you give this to someone, he must carry it around, but these are fairly small so that is somewhat mitigated. The other great solution is a phone case that doubles as a charger. With these, there is no need to carry an extra item around since it fits right onto the phone. Just be careful to get the right one since these cases need to fit the phone to function properly.
