If you're an over-packer like me, owning your own digital luggage scale is a must! Especially now that checked baggage fees have skyrocketed. So before you head home for the holidays with a 50lb+ suitcase, travel prepared! Show the flight crew that you indeed packed smart and assure them your bag is under the legal weight limit.

This digital scale is a must have whenever you go traveling internationally. It is a tiny scale that can be used to inform you if your luggage has gone over the maximum travel weight. A life saver for the jet setter.

who can afford to pay the new charges for luggage that weighs too much??? Save your self some bucks by packing this handy scale and know before you go to the airport if your luggage is going to be a problem.

Airlines are constantly looking for ways to pass costs to the consumer. With them now charging for carry-ons, you can also expect penalties for luggage with weight. This portable luggage scale allows you to weigh you luggage anywhere. Simply attach it to the device, lift your luggage, put it down, and the weight is reported on the digital display

These days if you're traveling light it's important to know exactly how light that is. Avoid extra fees by weighing your own luggage with this handy scale.

As someone that tries to pack like a pro, this is a must-have item for our next big vacation. We travel back home to Canada only once a year and stock up on as much as we can. The only problem? We always come under our estimate and regrettably have left some items behind due to inaccuracy. This inovative gadget makes it easy to see how much you're carrying. If you're worried about being over, or if you'd like to be able to squeeze just one more item in, one should definitely consider taking this along.

This is absolutely BRILLIANT if, like me, you have a tendency to over-pack when you go on holiday. I always seem to wait in the check-in queue with beads of sweat on my brow, waiting to be told "sorry, you've gone over your baggage limit". If I'd had one of these, my makeup would have remained un-smudged! Definitely one for my wish list! (via ShinyShack)

The next time you travel by airline, check the weight of your luggage beforehand with the cool new Balanzza Digital Luggage Scale ($26).

It features automatic hold which allows you to lift the luggage with a durable webbed strap, set it back down and then read the weight on the display. It sure beats paying those ridiculous overweight fees, saves you from angry stares from fuming passengers waiting behind you and gives you that great peace-of-mind feeling. (via The Green Head)
