With airlines becoming ever more stringent on luggage size and weight, it’s easy to get yourself into a muddle when you arrive at check in. Using bathroom scales is neither accurate or convenient, so what’s the solution?
You might want to give these Balanzza digital scales a whirl. They include a robust strap for attaching to your bag and a digital display which works in kilos or pounds. Portable and easy to use, the Balanzza scales are a really handy gizmo to have on holiday.

For years I used to suffice with a plastic bag and some paper plates for a picnic. However, as I get older it seems to make more sense acquiring a proper picnic bag with all the gear.

It also has a water resistant exterior, anti scratch lining and a variety of colourful exteriors. I think it probably packs a kitchen sink too…
