The price tag is little as well—it's under $2 and ships for free.

Digital Luggage Scale Give your frequent flyer the gift of never being surprised by an overweight bag fee again, with this portable digital luggage scale.

Keyprop Keychain Tripod
This little gadget is the size of a key and attaches to your key chain. Unlike a normal key, though, the Keyprop Keychain Tripod simply slots into your phone's headphone jack or lightning dock to hold the phone up. It's a tripod (so it's great for self-timer photos) and a stand (so that you can watch videos, read, or chat hands-free).
