Trip Whisperer Holiday Gift Guide - 2021
What do you gift the traveler in your life? Time to dust off the ol' passport and travel inspired ideas to help get them back in a jet-setting state of mind!
Doing it for the 'Gram
Bring their Instagram feed to their walls! Use services like Social Print Studio, Shutterfly, and Mixtiles.
Getting the World Delivered
A throwback to my travel subscriptions post, you don't have to go anywhere to taste Bordeaux wine or shop exotic markets. Deliver travel joy with Wine Awesomeness, GlobeIn, and Ten Thousand Villages (nonprofit).
Page Turning Adventures
The Wordy Traveler subscription and join a free book club with Nomadic Matt (a good friend of mine): https://www.nomadicmatt.com/book-club/
Get HoneyTrek's National Geographic book Ultimate Journeys for Two: Extraordinary Destinations on Every Continent, and of course, World Travel: An Irreverent Guide by the late Anthony Bourdain and Laurie Woolever.
Bon Baggage
Pack up and go with stylish brands like Paraval and vintage style Steamline Luggage.
For shorter journeys and carry ons, think of day packs like DayOwl and Nordace. Pack all your gadgets and personal items with the smartly-designed bags.
Curiously Quirky
Check out the unique gifts online courses and experiences by the publication Atlas Obscura https://www.atlasobscura.com/unique-gifts
Cheap Flight Finder
Gift them a membership to Scott's Cheap Flights or go straight to your favorite carrier like Delta for a gift card. The next flight is on you!
Monogrammed & Fabulous
Go over to Mark and Graham for personalized gifts from dopp kits to beautiful scarves, passport covers to luggage.
Another bespoke gifting option, Knack. I've used it for my friends a few times, and each time, it's always made me look like a gifting star!
Have a safe and happy holiday season! See you next year 😉
