Apple has been selling a World Travel Adapter Kit for a while now, but the company has never marketed the product much. Considering how useful it can be for frequent travelers, perhaps we should make your acquaintance with the package.

It includes the Apple USB Power Adapter, USB Cable and six interchangeable AC adapter plugs for use with iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

The adapter plugs can be used with Apple MagSafe Power Adapters which means you also get to charge your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air with it.

Heck it even supports Apple’s old Portable Power Adapters for iBook and PowerBook, as well as AirPort Express.

Best of all, you can plug these power adapters into most electrical outlets around the world.

So if you’re planning to take your Apple devices with you on your next Euro-trip, make sure to buy the relatively cheap ($39) Apple World Travel Adapter Kit.
