SE Asia will give you be best meals of your life, but one wrong food/drink and you have to have an emergency meeting with some meds.

The best part about this list…is almost every item can be purchased with an HSA/FSA card on the CVS website.

Skip this entire category if you need on-wrist GPS, maps, or notifications — no ring or mat can replace that. And none of these are medical devices: if you suspect sleep apnea or a heart issue, talk to a doctor, not a gadget.
