Best Travel Saver - Portable Luggage Scale

At this past year's family Christmas white-elephant gift exchange, I found myself competing for a much coveted gift—a travel sized luggage scale. Having had the experience of frantically repacking items from my overweight suitcase into my carry-on bag at the airport counter in the French Riviera, I learned first hand how much a portable luggage scale will save you time, hassle, and unexpected airport fees.
