Great gifts in FASHION –
- My Favorite purse – Not only has this become my favorite travel purse this year, it has become my everyday purse! It has a main zipper compartment that is large enough to hold glasses, a wallet, a phone, etc. Two side zipper pouches plus an inside zippered pouch and inside pocket. There are so many colors to choose from and the material is a high-quality faux leather feel that is soft and buttery.
I think all of the women in my family now have this purse! -
A perfect pair to the purse above is this slim wallet. It holds all of your ID, a few credit cards, and a bit of cash and is so light and compact that it is perfect for your next adventure –Travelambo Front Pocket Minimalist Leather Slim Wallet RFID Blocking Medium Size Slim wallet with RFID protection –
- I am a big fan of the Lululemon belt bag but the price and reviews on this belt bag can’t be beaten. Belt bag (or fitted cross-body) that comes in many colors!
- I recently discovered these sunglasses and I am in love. They are high quality, come with a nice case that isn’t too bulky and they don’t hurt my nose! I have brown/ivory. FEISEDY Classic Cateye Polarized Sunglasses
- Purse strap replacement – These adjustable straps are popular and such a fun way to personalize your crossbody bad or tote – There are so many styles you’re sure to find the perfect style for those on your holiday shopping list –
Beach Bags make a great gift for cruisers!
This Dejaroo Mesh Beach Bag has lots of pockets and would be perfect for beach trip!
This beach bag by Evsan is on my wish list because I love the blue ocean vibe! This one is on my wish list –
Dresses
Dresses make outstanding gifts for travelers. They are an all-in-one outfit that makes packing a breeze. Most dresses can easily be casual with sandals or sneakers or dressed up with heels making them a valuable and flexible item to pack!
I have ordered several dresses from Amazon that are great for travel. This is a great option for anyone that loves a wrinkle-resistant dress and it has pockets. (image on right) If the person on your list would prefer something a little dressier and more feminine, I’d recommend this dress from the BTFBM store on Amazon . (Left image) It doesn’t have pockets but it can easily be dressed up with heels or throw on a little vegan leather jacket and booties! It has great reviews and is in my closet ready for my next cruise!
Both of these dresses get packed for all of my cruises but my all-time favorite dress is this Dream Dress from Title Nine. This dress is SO comfortable and forgiving if you have overindulged a bit. And…it will not wrinkle! I’m convinced that I could sleep in this dress and wake up wrinkle-free. Over the last few years, I have purchased it in 3 colors and always pack at least two out of the three when I cruise. (non-affiliate link)
P.S. It’s currently on sale!
- Beautiful Wrap – I have included a wrap in my gift guide off and on throughout the years and it remains a multi-purpose and useful tool for travelers not to mention a lovely gift. The uses are endless for a traveler. You can use it as a light blanket on the plane, in a cool theatre or restaurant, as a wrap covering shoulders, or even head in a sacred place. Choose cashmere or a cashmere blend for a beautiful and high-quality gift!
Next up, Great Gifts in Tech
- Apple Air Tags – These location tags have become a traveler’s knight in shining armor this year. Easily know the location of your luggage – land, sea or sky.
- Selfie stick – This is not the old, selfie stick from the past. This option has an updated look, a remote, and a tripod. It’s definitely gift-worthy!
- iWalk portable iPhone charger – When you’re busy exploring the last thing you want to do is have your phone die. This super compact portable charger is perfect for iPhone users and is so easy to pack.
- Cluth Charger – Ok, this one isn’t on Amazon but it’s such a great gift idea I had to add it to the list. It’s a back up charger that is practically the size of a credit card. A traveler’s dream, right here! And, they are having a black Friday sale so check it out. (non-affiliate link)
- Kindle Oasis – The perfect gift for the prolific reader on your list. The Kindle Oasis is light as a feather, holds countless books, and is water resistant – splash-proof reading poolside or at the beach. If you are looking for a more budget-friendly option the Kindle Paperwhite is also a great choice.
- 4-in-1 Multi-Charger cable – This is in my tech bag at all times! If you prefer a stand, this option is perfect for the person who travels with all of their apple products (watch, AirPods, and iPhone) but prefers a compact charging stand.
Holiday Gift Guide – “Helper” Gifts –
These functional gifts are helpful to any travelers on your shopping list.
- Travel Fan -I am always surprised at the number of cruisers that travel with a fan. The cool air and the white noise are valuable sleep aids. This year, this one tops my list. It’s lightweight and compact, yet reliable, making it perfect for travelers.
- Scrubba Wash bag mini – This is a new item for me this year although sink washing while on a cruise is a normal thing for me. I am really enjoying this new helper. You can skip the clunky Ziploc and tiny/dirty sink method. This is the best way to wash your small items to wear again items while traveling.
- Speaking of Scrubba, this company also has a tablet case that can double as a pillow. How do they think of these things? Go ahead, get comfortable watching that movie. The tablet case also comes with a handy strap for on-the-go tech transport!
- Passport holder – A passport holder always makes a beautiful gift for the traveler on your list. Opt for a high-quality or personalized version for the ultimate gift-giving greatness. I recently discovered this gift set which is perfect for the newlyweds on your shopping list.
- Cruise Fan Luggage tags – A great stocking stuffer from an Etsy shop with a fantastic rating! Share your love of cruising as you slide your suitcase through the airport or cruise terminal.
- Cruise Inspired Thank You cards for the crew – Specially designed for me by a dear friend, these thank you notes are ALWAYS in my bag. I use them to write personal notes to crew members as well as my fellow travel-loving friends and family.
- Perfect for the first-time Royal Caribbean cruiser – This Cruise On essential kit includes a cruise-line-approved power strip with USB, luggage tags, and 2 lanyards.
