A few things for the armchair traveller or the bona fide jetsetter.

Luggage, $220
Every day, thousands of glaze-eyed travelers traipse through the concourses of the world's airports dragging black, rectangular suitcases. Fairly depressing, really. That's the beauty of these two bright neo-hatboxes: Like a colorful mid-flight cocktail, they cheerfully break the monotony that can take the fun out of jet-setting.

Travel Clock, $395
When you're traveling, jet lag and boozy nights spent sampling the local drinks make it easy to sleep the trip away. But you can rest when you get home. Carry this sleek new alarm clock and you won't miss a moment of exploration. You'll also add a much-needed element of style to drab hotel rooms and sterile train cars.

Private-Jet Share, $987,000
Sure, first class is nice. But having your very own plane is even nicer. The Gulfstream IV-SP-the aircraft of choice for multiple Fortune 100 companies-seats 13 and boasts leather seats and a premium liquor cabinet. What's more, you don't even have to buy the whole thing. For a mere fraction of the purchase price, you get to use the plane for 75 hours per year-wings and all. Just give them 10 hours' notice, and show up. They'll also throw in two pilots-who may even have Air Force One experience-and, of course, a flight attendant. (Marquis Jet Partners, 866-538-1400, marquisjet.com)

Passport Holder, $495
The Holland brothers of San Francisco started their careers making leather gun cases. Thankfully, they have moved on to classier accoutrements like this hand-stitched, alligator-skin case that'll keep your passport safe and well-dressed. Plus, we've stuffed it with $917 for walking around. (Mulholland Brothers, 877-685-4655, mulhollandbrothers.com)

Travel Journal, $30
You're sitting at a dusty cafe in Marrakech, eyeing the woman alone in the corner-the one wearing dark sunglasses, reading a French newspaper as the smoke from her Gauloises disappears into the ceiling fan. You're thinking she might be a spy, but you can't just snap a picture. No, at times like these a great-looking journal is what you need to commit the moment to memory. (Flight 001, 877-435-8663)

Trip for Two on the Turkish Coast, $10,878
Stray from the tourist-beaten path by sneaking up on ancient fishing villages and checking out archeological wonders from the deck of your own chartered vessel-in this case a gulet, a traditional Turkish sailboat complete with a crew of three. Stop to visit sites like the Baths of Cleopatra at Hamam Cove and Lycian tombs, or just drift along the Mediterranean listening to the whispering breezes. (Blue Voyage, 800-818-8753, bluevoyage.com)

Globe, $65
The world is changing every day, and planning a circumnavigation is tough when you're not sure which countries still exist. Thankfully, this stately, antique globe, the Vienna, is not an antique at all. From a distance, it wouldn't appear out of place in Magellan's study, but look closer, and you'll find that its up-to-the-minute markings include every last secession and gerrymander in the world-yes, even Nunavut, the Canadian province that was formed just over three years ago. Any time a boundary shifts, the manufacturer will send you a new globe at half price. Because what kind of Philistine would own a globe with no Nunavut? (Rand McNally, 800-275-7263, randmcnally.com)
