It might seem a little odd to include OSIM under the travel section, but believe us when we say your giftee would appreciate having a portable massager on their next overseas trip. After all, it’s been a while since they had to sit still for 12 hours straight.

Behold, one of the largest New Balance stores in Singapore!
