Love this collection of gifts! I’d love a few for myself, too! 🙂

Which ones don’t I want! I especially love the L’Occitane en Provence Advent Calendar. I adore their products.
Shristi says
I’m going to share this so that people can get a hint for what to buy for me! Such a great list!
Kristin says
Those GoTubb contraptions are GENIUS. I’m the worst at always losing one of any set of earrings! Already own the globe decanter (two actually!) but NEED that map cheese board!!!
Charles McCool says
I like that USA cutting board. Other countries would be nice, too, to remind me of some of my favorite trips.
Natalie says
That travel pillow looks really comfy… and stylish because at first glance, I thought it was a scarf!
I really like some of the whimsical gifts included on here, like the globe decanter and the US shaped cheese board. I’d certainly use the latter!
I already have a tiny tripod (which IS useful!) and I think I need some of those GoTubbs. I can think of so many uses for those (I travel with my kids, so snacks are essential).
Maram says
Cool ideas! I’m looking for a portable router currently to have WiFi wherever I go. Maybe you could add that to the list!
Amelie says
Ooooh that’s a nice list. I love that travel pillow, have you tried it? I’m thinking of asking for this for Christmas this year 🙂

Great gift ideas, but I just want to shop for myself from your list! I think I will have to get the L’Occitane Advent Calendar, as I love their products and the passport wallet looks lovely!
Thomas Mathys says
It’s always good to have some inspiration . The GoTubb come in very handy while travelling, we use them as well. After travelling for 5 weeks now, the VKAKA Bluetooth Earphones would be definitely on my wish list as well. Decoration wise I’m in love with the globe decanter 🙂
Kiyoko says
I was just telling some of my family how much I would love to do an Ancestry DNA kit. Most of my family on my dad’s side has passed away or I have no way of getting in contact with them, so this kit would be a great way to find out my heritage. Would probably inspire me to visit someplace I had never considered!
Sara Broers says
I love this list. I am currently on a hunt for a new tripod and I’m taking your suggestion. Any traveler should love all the items you have suggested.
Mona Corona says
These ideas are so unique! Best list ive seen <3
Janine Thomas says
What a great selection! You can buy me a gift anytime :-).
I love the L’Occitane en Provence Advent Calendar. I use their products all the time so that would be perfect for me.
I also have the recipe book and if you like Middle Eastern Cuisine then I recommend this. There are so many fabulous recipes that you don’t know what to make first.

Love the tripod, TRX bands and map cutting board ideas! I wouldn’t mind receiving a few of these under the tree this year 🙂

I love all these ideas! RFID technology is key when traveling. I think I need to add a couple of these items to my Christmas wishlist.
Nisha says
Your post just reminded me that it is that time of the year again 🙂 These are splendid gift ideas. I am already thinking who would use that suspension trainer and that awesome looking travel pillow.
Jessica says
The TRX kit is a great idea for my friend who’s currently deployed in a remote area with a very minimal gym. Great list!
Paige says
There are so many fun unique things on this list! I know when I settle down and have a home, I want a slate U.S. Map cutting board. I also really love that travel wallet. It looks so handy!
Sunshine says
Christmas happens to be my birthday, so if there is something I really wanted on the list, that would be the VKAKA Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Earphones. Music is life! #wishlist
