Scrubba Wash Bag
You can wash out your favorite soiled clothes in no time so they’re fresh and clean for the next day. Out of Australia, the Scrubba Wash Bag has a laundry system engineered inside of a knapsack. It’s a wash board of sorts, and with just a bit of water, soap, and a few squeezes; in less than five minutes, the sweat, stink, and grimy signs of the day are gone. The Scrubba Wash Bag is compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand while it holds about two days of clothes for washing. The traveler’s kit includes a clothes line for drying, and the bag also doubles as a flexible knapsack to carry souvenirs for the family back home.

Instead of being reminded that you are busy, you need to be given a foot massage, a high-five and a dry martini.
