From noise-cancelling headphones to humble thumbdrives, here are essential gadgets for your holiday.
Here's how you can save costs or keep yourself amused when travelling during the year-end holidays.

1 Walkie-talkies
If you are in the United States, each call to a fellow Singaporean traveller – even a 30-second “Where are you?” – will cost you $3.50. Receiving a call from him will set you back at least $1.80.
Do not forget that you are no longer in Ang Mo Kio but in Anaheim making roaming calls to a Singapore number.
Do not let your phone bill bloat up. Use walkie-talkies instead and enjoy free calls.
The hardy Motorola T7 (main picture, $168) has a 10km range. However, the range drops sharply when used inside buildings.
Available at Carrefour, Courts, Harvey Norman and Challenger.
