Holiday Gift Guide 08: Hip Globetrotter
There’s always someone in your life who’s hopping from one fabulous locale to the next! For this hip globetrotter, make sure that she’s traveling in style by gifting her with one of these fabulous items. She’ll be able to add it to her must-pack list for every trip!
ONE. P.J. Salvage Sushi Print Flannel Pajama Set — No matter how luxurious the hotel room, there’s one universal truth: that it’s never the same as home. Even the most seasoned globetrotter sometimes gets a little homesick; there is nothing better at the end of a long day of sightseeing or working, then slipping into these comfy PJ Salvage Sushi pajamas. These 100% cotton comfy pajamas are printed with a quirky sushi print, and looking at them will always put a smile on anyone’s face. For that travel expert on your list, this gift is a picker-upper that will conjure up happy memories such as hot chocolate with marshmallows in the winter, snuggling under the covers on a rainy day, and make her feel as good as if she were at home surrounded by her loved ones. - joie
TWO. Calypso Julia Silk Dress — While your favorite globetrotting friends of yours might knows the ins and outs of airport security or the answer to what world city would be the best to spend New Year’s in, does she also have the perfect travel dress? If she doesn’t yet have Calypso’s Julia Wrap dress yet, then the answer is no. This dress is the first thing I put in my carry on whenever I travel anywhere because of its extreme versatility in size and fit. Made ingeniously of 100% silk dupioni, the dress is meant to look wrinkled, meaning you can wrap this dress into the tiniest ball possible to fit into your suitcase or pick it up off the floor of your room, and still look fabulous and clean cut. Best of all, there are two ways you can tie the dress depending on what flatters your figure best: the traditional wrap dress way or the Calypso way. The dress looks good with bare legs, with leggings, or over jeans. Calypso comes out with a variety of different colors of the dress every season so you can pick your friend’s favorite color and gift her with the ultimate piece for her travel wardrobe. - joie
THREE. Flowie Garden Love Scarf — As any jetsetter would know, a scarf is a must-have on the plane to keep warm. It’s a better alternative to the itchy airplane blankets and it’s smaller size will prevent you from accidentally bumping elbows with a fellow passenger when you’re wrapping it around your arms. Plus, you can look chic when you arrive at your destination. My pick is this gorgeous cotton version by Flowie, which is hand-screen printed. Order one for your favorite travel gal on your list. I guarantee that she’ll adore this luxurious scarf, as it will work from spring to winter. - thedailyobsession
FOUR. Smythson Passport Cover with Slide Closure — The hip globetrotter knows that the most necessary accessory for their key travel documents is a chic passport cover. I particularly love this Smythson one because of its slide closure, which ensures that your passport and boarding pass are safe. This cover is made from the highest quality calf leather and can be personalized with a name or initial, which can make this gift extra special Although this cover comes in various colors, I am particularly partial to the red as it makes searching for your passport that much easier in your bag.- perfumed
FIVE. Flight001 Pink Cashmere Travel Slippers — If you have a friend who’s a frequent traveler, she’ll love you for gifting her these Pink Cashmere Travel Slippers from Flight001.com. The cashmere makes them a luxurious alternative to scratchy hotel slippers, and they’re also perfect for slipping on during long flights to give her airport-weary feet a rest. The light pink color gives them a feminine touch, and they come complete with a silk drawstring case that will protect them when they’re packed away in a suitcase. Her feet will thank you every time she puts them on! - productwhore
SIX. Mackage Limited Edition Train Case & Bigelow Chemist Ginger Mentha Collection — Any hip traveler faces a dilemma on how to pack beauty products safely away to prevent any damage. An ideal gift for the globetrotting gal in your life is this gorgeous Mackage Train case, made of smooth, quality leather and stuffed with beauty products from C.O. Bigelow! The Train Case has 2 compartments to store travel essentials and zips up to safely carry them wherever they may go. This limited edition gift is the result of a collaboration between the 2 brands, and with Mackage’s signature leather and Bigelow’s Ginger Metha collection, you’ve got a total winner. - ninabee
