What's New What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, the Tiki Ultra-Compact USB Mic. Great for travelers who depend upon Skype and the like for phone communication, the Tiki is engineered to make sure that it is your voice being heard, not background noise. Similar in size to a standard USB flash drive, it plugs into a laptop's USB port and easily switches from speech to recording mode.

From the Steven Joseph company comes this scaled-down version of mommy and daddy's wheeled suitcase, just a lot more colorful and fun to take on trips. About 18 inches in height, the ideal size for globe-toddlers, this bag has multiple zippered pockets, an extendable handle and two wheels for easy transport. The eye-catching exterior, which can be monogrammed, features numerous design themes, among them Butterfly, Dino, Owl, Sports and Airplane.

This 27-incher is one of several serially sized bags in the Tribe line from the London-based luggage brand Carlton. Incredibly light at only 7 pounds, this "trolley," measures 27 by 17 by 11 inches yet features collapsible construction for easy stowaway in tight hotel rooms or cruise ship cabins. Other attributes include a wide-opening arched front pocket, lockable zippers, padded handles and a global lost-and-found ID service.

This messenger bag, equipped with a personal alarm system loud enough to discourage any would-be thief, is designed to keep safe your electronic gear, important documents and valuables. Measuring 18 by 7.5 by 15 inches, the ISafe Laptop Bag has seven easily accessible compartments, a padded laptop compartment with an elasticized compression strap that can accommodate laptops with screens up to 15.4 inches and durable zinc die-cast hardware.

"Let's Eat Out! Allergy Free Passport" could literally be a life-saver for travelers with food sensitivities or allergies. A clear how-to guide, the book provides a full range of information about cuisines, ingredients and preparations and provides questions to ask about food requirements (and how to ask them in the necessary language), providing readers with the tools to avoid 10 of the most prevalent allergens.
