This idea I like - a bag with a built-in digital scale that tells you the exact weight of what you've packed.

"It's a stunningly simple solution to a very real problem," says Michele Marini Pittenger, president of Travel Goods Association. Though fliers can weigh their bags at home before departing, "it's more difficult on the return trip after you've accumulated souvenirs."
