Here are a couple of last minute gift ideas for anyone who likes to travel or spend time outdoors. SteriPEN, a lightweight and portable water purifier, has introduced a solar powered charging case to recharge the pen’s batteries. The “pen” uses ultraviolet light to kill waterborne microbes and create safe drinking water. www.hydro-photon.com
If purified water isn’t your need, perhaps you’d be interested in combining water and light in another way. SolLight has created the LightCap, an all-in-one solar powered light and water bottle. It’s always helpful when you’re traveling to have items that can serve more than one purpose. Nice to know some of those nifty gadgets exist. www.sollight.com
