Traveling internationally is one of the greatest experiences you can ever have… except when it comes to staying connected with your phone. We’re all for disconnecting as much as possible, but sometimes it’s necessary to check in with loved ones and meet up with friends abroad. Which brings us to the giant pain in the ass that is international data networks. You need an unlocked phone and, most of the time, a different SIM for each of the countries you’re going to be spending any amount of time in. If you’re one of those people that would prefer to message over talk on the phone, check out WhatSim. WhatSim connects to over 400 mobile operators in around 150 countries to give you access to your messaging apps without having to search for free WiFi or pay astronomical international data rates. Once you load up some data credits, it’s as simple as putting WhatSim in any unlocked phone.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
