Guess what’s back, back again — Yup, it’s Gifted Tuesday! From now until December 24th, each Tuesday will come filled with gift ideas for pretty much everyone on your list (or of course, yourself).
I guess this one is a bit apropos, considering travel season is, well here — hello Thanksgiving. So below are some fantastic finds for that one person that seems to know the ins-and-outs of every airline, first class lounge, airport and of course city worldwide.
1. The North Circular Alpaca Eternity Snood: Alpaca is one of the softest and coziest materials out there (believe me, we both hail from the same country, so I know), and it can even double as a blanket for those long plane rides. What I like about this particular piece is that they are hand-knitted and come with a special message.
2. In the Spirit of Palm Beach: It’s never too early to start planning an adventure and these books by Assouline Press are a fantastic gift. You can get just one, or complete set that includes places like St. Barths, The Hamptons and Capri. These tomes have incredible photography, amazing travel tales and are a fantastic addition for any coffee table.
3. Sheep Sleep Mask by Pompon Design: No matter the destination, everyone deserves their beauty rest. This little mask is pretty much perfect as a ‘do not disturb’ sign during long flights and perfect for those jet lagged moments.
4. Solid Case iPad Case with Detachable Keyboard: Pretty much a necessity when typing with a tablet. It’s light easy and super functional. What’s even better? The battery lasts for about 90 hours and doesn’t need an iPad doc to work.
5. Space Case Luggage Tag: Nothing can ruin a vacay quicker than lost luggage! These fun tags will make identifying bags at the baggage claim easy and who knows, it might be a conversation starter.
6. Ray Ban Aviators: OK guys, I am not reinventing the wheel…but one thing that’s always fashionable and a must-have accessory is a nice pair of aviator sunglasses. This ones from Ray Ban are classic, work with most face shapes and will make and look become an automatic standout.
7. Modify Detachable Watches: Colorful timepieces? Yes, please. Modify has tons of combinations and you can mix and watch. Oh yeah and from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, they will be offering 30% off their entire site and will give away every 10th order for free. Shopping doesn’t get any better than this, my friends.
8. Madewell Transport Tote: Not gonna lie, I’ve been eyeing this beauty for myself for quite a while and as a seasoned traveler, I know this is every functional fashionista’s dream come true. It’s rugged feel makes it versatile and super easy to combine, plus it can also be used as a shopping bag (save your 10 cents, San Franciscans) or a nice work bag. It also comes in other great colors that can we worn season after season.
9. Henri Bendel Mint Julep Candle: Imagine this….traveling for more than a dozen hours and arriving to a stinky room. Speaking from experience, a candle is a super easy way to freshen up a space. It can be relaxing to sleep or a great way to spice up a romantic getaway. Plus once it’s dunzo, just toss the container and you’ll have more room for souvenirs.
10. Frends Layla Leather and Rose Gold-Tone Headphones: Screaming children at airports? This will take care of any noises or shenanigans happening around. They are perfect to listen to music, catch up on good TV or even for a workout. Chic, fun and functional.
11. Medievala Leather Travel Journals: This notebook is perfect to carry around to jot down ideas, restaurants or even destinations to visit. It’s also a fantastic way to keep tabs of travel adventures or for penning thoughts during a relaxing afternoon at the beach.
12. Lesportsac Extra Large Rectangular and Square Cosmetic Combo: Believe me, this will be the talk of the TSA staff (in a good way). Lesportsac’s fun prints and easy to carry luggage fits pretty much anything that is on the packing list. Their cosmetic bags are perfect for toiletries, makeup and brushes and last forever. They are all machine washable too.
13. DVF Leather Passport Cover: Keep all documents in one place, especially when gathering everything inside the hotel safe or inside luggage. What’s even better are two internal pockets that are perfect for stashing.
14. Crabtree & Evelyn Travel Manicure Kit: No time to get a mani-pedi? No problem. This set will have your phalanges fancied up in no time, and they are super easy to carry and store.
15. Maya Brenner Design State Necklaces: Give your loved ones a gift they can have close to their heart and pick from U.S. states or countries. It’s a great way to display city pride, or a special location and think of fond memories of that place.
16. Yosi Samra + P.A.R.O.S.H Ballet Flats: Anyone will be happy to set foot in this ballet flats. They come in a variety of colors and fold very neatly so when it comes to packing, it’s super simple. Plus, they are fantastic for long walks or excursions on foot.
17. Remedy Head and Neck Transit Pillow: Another airplane basic — like a good blanket, headphones and sleeping mask, this will make any flight a breeze. Plus, it won’t cause that stiff neck feeling and will provide plenty of support. This is also perfect when lounging at home.
18. Eau d’Italie Travel Kit: Sometimes hotel products are less than stellar, so this is a guarantee that beauty routines and showers will be an enjoyed feat during the trip.
19. Printed iPhone Battery Charger: Too many Instagrams and tweets dwindles battery life (once again, speaking from experience). This is the perfect gadget for the social media maven on your travel pack. How long does it last, you ask? Up to 4 hours after charging.
20. Rimowa Salsa Deluxe Business Multiwheel: This brand has been around since the 19th century and is a favorite amongst celebrities and globe trotters. It features the latest technology, four wheels that are easy to maneuver and very organized compartments. The perfect suitcase suitable for any adventure.
