Thanksgiving is now being celebrated by our American brothers and sisters with the traditional get together parties with their families served with some of their traditional foods. But what is Thanksgiving anyway?

According to Wikipedia, “Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.”

What is in store for us on this special day of the year? Well, a lot of Filipinos have relatives in the US. And now is the best time to sing them the happiest Christmas carols and request for your gifts which probably are currently on sale because of the Black Friday madness. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving which is also technically the start of the Christmas shopping season.

Here are some items that might be useful on your next trip.

Waterproof Camera: This is perfect for your summer trips on the beach or when capturing some memories during a rainy getaway trip. There are lots of models to choose from. Pick one that will surely suit your budget.

Backpack: Is your good old backpack ready to retire. Well, worry no more because a lot of backpacks are now on sale because of Black Friday. Check out your favorite brands in the nearest shopping mall or on your favorite online stores.

Headlamp: This one is very useful especially when you still want to read your book without disturbing your dorm mates.

Tent: This might come in handy when you want to go to a secluded island or if you just want to camp out on a mountain with your buddies.

Sleeping Bag: Don’t leave your sleeping bag behind if you’re going to travel for a long time. This will protect you from bed bugs from some old, cheap and shabby hostels. This will make sure that you sleep well at night after a long day of walking and trekking. 

Note: Flip does not endorse any specific brand. I always opt to buy the cheaper products as long as we don’t compromise the quality.

P.S. Check out Flip's Amazon Store :-) Thanks!!!
