Posted by Ashley Wright

Whether you’re working at sea, experiencing a new move, or vacationing, you may miss your hometown or the friends and family that couldn’t join you. We know that for yachties, being away from home from weeks or months at a time can be especially emotionally difficult. Luckily, we have compiled a list of some must-have products that will help ease some of that homesickness. Check out our recommendations below!

This way, if your cell connection is spotty or you don’t have a few minutes to spare to connect given the time distance, you can still let your friends or family know that you’re thinking of them. They deliver worldwide AND you can sync an unlimited number of lamps! When you don’t have the right words, send a touch of light.

If you’d like to keep a special place close to your heart (quite literally) all the time, consider getting a map necklace. The map centerpiece is made with 24K plated gold on brass with a matte finish, sure to remind you of that location and match with any outfit. They even offer the option to customize a ring, earrings, or a brooch. For travelers or people always on the go, these are the perfect pieces for traveling due to their size and how lightweight they are. You can customize the location, size, color, and more!

The 10” touchscreen is Wi-Fi connected and displays photos with astonishing color and clarity. No matter where you are in the world, you can upload photos straight to a friend or family member’s frame in under 60 seconds.

If you’re away from home and find yourself terribly missing your furry friend, these personalized pillows offer a way for you to always take them with you. They are made in a variety of sizes and are known to be comfortable. If you can’t physically sleep with your pet, this is the next best thing!

Designed to fit perfectly on your wrist, these bracelets add a fashionable touch to your outfit and help strengthen the bond between you and your “person.” While it does not vibrate or buzz, it does mimic human touch by creating a gentle squeeze, which may feel more intimate and comforting. They could not be more user-friendly, offering an app and simple set-up instructions. It’s crazy how communication is changing.

If you have a little extra space, you can purchase a piece of coordinates art to remind you of the place that’s close to your heart. Some people chose the coordinates of the place where they first met, while others choose the coordinates of their childhood home.
