Matching Luggage Tag And Passport Cover
French Goatskin Leather Luggage Tag and Passport Cover from graphicimage.com
I found this company on Instagram of all places. I am obsessed with their gorgeous travel products. I wish I could get my hands on a set before my next trip! Pictured above are the luggage tag and passport cover in hydrangea.
A leather travel journal demands that you make a diary of your trip, and keeps your memories forever.
I journal every trip I take and put photos, museum tickets, restaurant business cards and all kinds of momentos in there. I love looking back through them.
Protect credit cards from radio frequency I.D scanning with either a protective sleeve that fits inside a wallet, or an RFID blocking wallet.
These are not just for travel, but are also good to use in your hometown too. Available online at The Container Store
An External Power Pack
Charge up cellphones and iPads on the road with an external power pack. Great for use on airplanes and in airports or anywhere on the road that you can’t find a power point to plug in to.

Kindle Paperwhite
There’s no need to drag heavy, luggage stealing books around anymore when you travel. The Kindle Paperwhite is one of the best e-readers around, small and lightweight, it can hold 1000 books and can go weeks I between charges.
Unless you are flying first class, or on some routes business class, amenity pouches are now a thing of the past. As such, so are the complimentary fluffy socks. Airplane cabins get cold so warm socks are wonderful on a long haul flight.
Noise Cancelling Headphones
Whether you are tuning out the sounds of snoring passengers, loud talkers, screaming babies or just the airplane buzz, noise cancelling headphones are a must on long flights.
Airplanes get cold, and airline blankets can be a little sketchy – who knows how clean they really are? A Pashmina is very lightweight but super warm. It packs down to nothing, so is great to travel with. It also doubles up as a scarf and you can wear it instead of a coat in cold weather. Win win win.
Just make sure you are buying real pashmina and not a nylon blend scarf.
Travel Sized Candles
Arriving late and tired to find your hotel room smells like industrial cleaner or the previous occupant’s secret cigarettes is awful, and changing rooms isn’t always an available option. Other times you just want to personalize your space, and mini scented candles can make all the difference in the world.

Here are. fabulous reads that make wonderful gifts
I went to a soiree that Dana Thomas gave to celebrate this book and it was wonderful. As an insider who knew both Lee McQueen and John Galliano she had fascinating insight into their lives, their creative forces and the business machine that ate both of them up. Initially New York based, the author has lived in Paris for the past 15 years. Which is thrilling in and of itself.
Isabella Blow was both a legendary figure in fashion and a very important one. She is credited with discovering both Alexander McQueen, and launching his career by buying his entire first collection, and also Philip Treacy who launched his career from the basement of her home.
Her 30 year career in fashion included being assistant to Anna Wintour at American Vogue as well as fashion editor at Tatler and The Sunday Times magazine.
Written by her husband after her death at age 48, this book gives a behind the scenes look at high society and fashion, as well as her incredible life and body of work.
This biography not only covers Vreeland’s career as one of the most influential fashion editors ever, but also looks at her deeply unhappy childhood and the fearless, imaginative, hard working woman she became.
Grace Coddington is easily one of the greatest fashion editors ever. The body of work she has completed with Anna Wintour is staggering and brilliant. This autobiography is fascinating and lovely. Just like Grace.
For 17 years Vice magazine has been putting out hilariously captioned photos of street fashion, calling each a do or a don’t. This is a laugh out loud book with some pretty interesting street style.
This beautifully, beautifully written story about a young boy orphaned when his father is disappeared in the middle of the night in Geneva. The story crosses Egypt, Switzerland and England, and weaves a tale of political intrigue fleshed out by the palpable aching of a teenage boy set adrift in the world.
At this point I may just be the only person who hasn’t read this NY Times best seller, but there could still be someone on your list who loves books and hasn’t read this one.
