After all, travel gives us geeks an excuse to buy more-mobile versions of things we already own, hunt for new solutions to travel problems we didn’t know we had and feel like giants when we use our travel-sized deodorants. (Yes, some of us do use deodorant.)

To that end, we put together a list of some of our favorite products to take with us — for business and pleasure — and a few brands and Websites you’ll want to check out when you go shopping for travel-related accessories, both tech and otherwise.

Another noteworthy accessory site is The Franzus Company. Franzus sells a big assortment of accessories — from locks to toilet-seat covers to some of the best power converters we’ve seen.

a ton of other mobile accessories as well.

Brookstone and The Sharper Image we had in mind. As travelling gadget lovers, it’s tough to resist things like the M1 TracLite, for example. We have a ton of flashlights, but none of them are like this $20 keychain LED one that has a magnetic swivel base.

BargainCell.com. They stock accessories for a broad assortment of phones and other mobile devices, including batteries, chargers and cases, and everything is easy to find on the site.

Kingston DataTraveler Reader. The $34 2GB thumb drive has a built-in SD/MMC card reader. Put in a card and plug the drive into your laptop and it appears as two separate drives. You can transfer the photos either to your hard drive or to the flash drive.

Drugstore.com’s Travel Store. If shopping online for tiny bottles of mouthwash doesn’t make you a big geek, we don’t know what does.
