Stylish Gifts for Travelers

(and a few discount codes just for you!)

updated December 2018

For those times when a plane ticket is out of your budget…

Just in time for you fellow shopping procrastinators, but good for any time of the year…here are my top picks for the traveler in your life. (Because who doesn’t love stylish travel gifts?)

We all know that experiences > things. But we all need some things. These items all bring me a little bit of joy. I hope they do the same for you.

stylish travel gifts!

Flight Self-Care Package

—

    • Carry-On Cocktail Kit
    • Hand lotion
    • Herbal face mist
    • Fancy socks – treat those feet
      << women’s :: or :: men’s  <<
    • Water bottles for on-the-go
      << fancy :: or :: practical <<

The idea is to give a little bit of luxury. Make them feel first class, (even if they aren’t sitting up there.)

Here are some ideas of what to put in it.

Travel Prints

  • Mapiful << these are beautiful…can I have five?
  • World Traveler 2019 by Rifle Paper Co.<< the prettiest calendar.
  • Food Maps << from Jodi of Legal Nomads.

They pack up small, and they are a great way to inspire the walls at home with a favorite place abroad.

City-Themed Gifts

—

 

  • Favorite city, state, or phrase clothing
  • City-themed home decor, such as pillows, coasters, or more prints
  • A map-inspired pillow to show the travel love at home.

Really, just anything that shows their favorite city but is subtle and stylish. Just search for the city + shirt/pillow/print for more options.

Destination Cookbooks

—

  • Near and Far: Recipes Inspired by Home and Travels
    << if I was ever to write a cookbook, this is exactly how I would do it. This woman beat me to it, but she does a gorgeous job (and lives in SF.)
  • Hartwood: Bright, Wild Flavors from the Edge of the Yucatán
    <<  a favorite restaurant in Tulum, food from the Yucatan! A stunning book.
  •  Vegetarian India: A Journey Through the Best of Indian Home Cooking
    << by the Indian equivalent of Julia Child, I don’t know anyone who has been to India who doesn’t want to learn how to cook good Indian food at home.
  • My Paris Kitchen
    << a beautiful, well-loved book by American in Paris + chef David Leibovitz.
  • Salt Acid Fat Heat
    << if you haven’t already watched the Netflix series, go do that. Afterwards, you’ll likely want this gorgeous, approachable cookbook that has been called ‘an atlas of world flavor.’

I don’t know that many people who love to travel who don’t also love to eat. Two birds, meet one stone.

Must-Have Travel Accessories

—

And win people over. (These are for the ladies. Sorry, can’t stop the pretty.)

  • Passport covers: one … two … three 
  • Luggage tags (matches passport cover one!)
  • Travel wallet (on sale)
  • Turkish towel (use code ‘driftfreely’ for 10% off)
  • Custom leather travel accessories (with monogram!)

If the person you’re giving to doesn’t yet have a mobile charging device or global wifi, you just became their new favorite person. Yes, you can give the gift of wifi anywhere (use code ‘parttimetraveler’ for 10% off.)

Stay connected on the go! Wifi that travels with you.

Because if all else fails, you can never go too wrong with a beautiful passport cover or luggage tag.

Update: I just found this globe with a bar hidden inside. Win.

Happy Holidays <3 And remember guys! It’s not about the things. Being present with someone is the best possible present.

Plane tickets still don’t hurt, though.

I’m Anne! I spend part of my time traveling the world and the other part living in my soul city, San Francisco.

I have a love for all things travel. I also have a love for nesting. I do NOT believe the two have to be mutually exclusive. If you seek that balance…you’ve come to the right place.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?

Where Am I?

Last: We honeymooned in Greece (Santorini, Milos, Crete) and babymooned in Northern Italy (Piemonte, Lombardia, and Emilia Romagna.)

Next: ???

Now: At home in San Francisco, doubling down on nesting with our newborn baby  ♡

The Side of San Francisco Most Tourists Don’t See

“If travel is like love, it is mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.” – Pico Iyer

Not Como but…Iseo! Looking to return to the lake Not Como but…Iseo!
Looking to return to the lakes of North Italy, we considered Como, Garda, Maggiore, Orta…and in the end we chose Lake Iseo, the one least known (to me.)

It was a beautifully uncrowded atmosphere that only added to our relaxation. Aside from enjoying the lakefront hotel and restaurants, we took a day to visit Monte Isola, the island in the middle of the lake, and another to drive around the perimeter, stopping at villages nestled by the lake’s edge or up into the mountains as needed (cappuccino, gelato, aperitivo, etc.) 

If you’re looking for a smaller, calmer Italian lake experience, add this one to your list!

If you haven’t yet thought to do this outside of Tuscany, I highly recommend! It’s great to be able to see and support smaller spots and businesses that don’t get much as much tourist traffic.
