Gift Guide: World Travelers
Blouse || Pants || Heels || Handbag || Earrings || Lip Color
I am a wannabe world travel. Nearly everyday, I bounce a new destination off of David to see what really piques his interest. So far, I’ve only knocked off five countries out, but am just waiting to see more of the world. If you have an actual world traveler to shop for, then they know how much planning is truly involved. Help take a little off their plate by gifting a travel inspired gift this holiday season. Here are eight great options in my 2019 traveler gift guide.
JET SET CANDY Charm Set
I’ve been in love with this company for a while. With dainty tags and charms from nearly every destination imaginable, this is a great gift idea for a fashionable travel enthusiast. Their website makes it so easy with their new ‘shop by destination’ feature. I cannot wait to start a collection of my own and buy charms for the cities that mean the most to me.
HERSCHEL Mid Volume Backpack
When David and I were gallivanting around Italy for our honeymoon, guess which bag was by my side the entire way? This one! This is an incredible backpack. It’s light weight, but could still carry a laptop, makeup bag, and oodles of notes that I was taking along the way. Even better news, my durable backpack is now on sale.
1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE by Patricia Schultz
Since I’m almost always talking about travel and dream destinations, David surprised me and got this book for my birthday one year. I flip through it almost daily and let the daydreaming begin. Tucked inside, I keep a sheet of gold star stickers so I can make a special mark when I check off a new place. Trust me, I haven’t even scratched the surface yet, but maybe someday!
S’WELL Insulated Water Bottle
I need to start a new habit. Every time I start packing for a trip, I always tell myself to bring a water bottle for along the way. Guaranteed, I forget it. It sounds silly, but maybe if I have a specific water bottle kept in my suitcase, I’ll get better. This S’Well bottle would be the perfect pick. It keeps your drinks cold (or hot) for hours upon hours and is sleek enough to slide into any travel bag.
STEAMERY No. 2 Travel Steamer
I cannot travel anywhere with out a hand steamer, but sometimes, they can be way too cumbersome to pack. This little number from Steamery is the perfect size to travel with. Never again will you have to decide between the steamer and that extra pair of shoes.
CALPAK Silk Travel Selt
When I was flying back from Paris over the summer, I was definitely a sight on the plane. Eye mask, neck pillow, with a small dose of melatonin, and I was out for most of the trip. Long, economy flights are far from luxurious, but you can feel a little closer to first class with this silk travel set from Calpak. It comes in several different colors, but you could probably guess that navy is my favorite.
SOLE SOCIETY Convertible Belt Bag
I, personally, am not the biggest fan of the belt bag trend, but I know several people who swear by them when they are on the go. This bag from Sole Society seems like a very happy medium. It converts from belt bag to crossbody and back. No matter which style you pick, it will help keep your most important items close and secure when you travel.
MOPHIE Mini Portable Charger
Traveling can take so much energy out of your phone. Between using maps, Google translate, and taking pictures, my phone drains so quickly. It would be awful to be exploring a new city and have no phone for the entire day. Trust me, that would be me if David didn’t always have a portable charger on hand. This mini version from Morphie will get the job done.
Just writing all of these down makes me ready to book my next trip. I’m hoping 2020 will be a great year for travel, but we’ll know more after we visit with David’s family for Christmas. To see where the Kennedy’s will be going, be sure to check back in January for my annual travel blog post. See you soon!
Love from NYC,
Katie
