Travel gear: Wireless speakers, USB hubs and fold-away grills

There might weather for an impromptu BBQ picnic this Easter

UE Roll Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
Another design take on portable wireless audio here from Logitech, with its UE Roll speaker. The saucer-flat shape makes for easy last-minute packing and the rest of the design has some thoughtful touches for the outdoors life. The IPX7-rating means it can be submerged in up to a metre for 30 minutes – in effect, that's very waterproofed for most uses. In an array of patterns. €129 from ultimateears.com

Portable USB Hub
With all the mobile devices that recharge by USB, it can be useful to travel with a mini-hub that might save you on having to bring individual adapters for each gadget. This is quite a neat four-in-one, with USB 2.0 ports on three sides and an integrated connector which folds back into the body. In a range of colours, it's not much more than an inch square (5cm x 6cm x 2cm). €8 from designist.ie

Esbit Fold-Away Charcoal Grill
There might weather for an impromptu BBQ picnic this Easter. Here's a step up from the disposable hibachi: a fold-away steel BBQ which comes in its own waterproof carry-case. The sides simply fold up to carry a three-height adjustable grilling grate, while your charcoal can be stored in the unit itself. It folds away neatly to just 23x 30cm. €80 from outdoorsports.ie
