A few of our favorite picks to pack in your Summer suitcase.
Charleston Mahjong Travel Set

Southern Stationery
Submitted by GG Mag contributor Christiana Roussell
“I travel with stationery because thank-you (or just-because) notes are ALWAYS appreciated, and de rigeur for any Southerner. I am partial to cards from Birmingham-based artist Arden Upton or New Orleans-based Alexa Pulitzer. I keep a stack on hand whenever I travel!”
Where to Buy: Arden Upton | Alexa Pulitzer
Ironton Portable Air Inflator with Power Bank
A good idea for any road trip, this portable air inflator can handle vehicle tires and sports equipment and includes a power bank to charge small electronic devices. Compact enough to fit in the glove compartment and powerful enough to keep the wind in your sails. It also makes for a great graduation gift.
Rowe Casa Organics
Built in Texas, Rowe Casa Organics creates clean, thoughtfully sourced wellness essentials rooted in the belief that families deserve natural products they can trust. For summer days spent outside, we love their seasonal lineup: Sun Shield for natural sun protection, Swim Spray to help wash away chlorine and pool chemicals, Stop the Itch Cream for bites and irritated skin, and Bronzing Lotion for a little sun-kissed glow without the sun damage. Toss them in your beach bag or road trip tote, and you’re ready for whatever the season brings.
Krewe Sunglasses

No summer road trip is complete without a great—and stylish—pair of shades. We’re partial to New Orleans–based Krewe, whose hand-crafted, small-batch frames are built for sunny days, and their Second Chances guarantee means if you break them, the first replacement pair is on them.
Poncho Father/Son Set

Made by a small team in Austin, Texas, Poncho produces premium shirts for guys who value functional fashion in the field, on the stream, or out for date night. Their Western line features signature breathable, lightweight, quick-drying fabric along with built-in sun protection, a vented back, lens cloth, hidden zippered pocket, and sunglasses holder — details that will delight the outdoorsman in your life. We recommend The Bonito paired (adult) with The San Carlos (kids), a perfect Father’s Day gift.
