Holiday Travel Shopping 2008
With the Holidays literally in our lap, it seemed to sneak up on me this year. Maybe because New York City decided to have warm 60 degree plus weather in mid-December... at least until yesterday. There is something really pretty about Manhattan in the snow. Got a traveler on your Christmas list? Here are four great gift ideas for that person who has travel in their blood.
1. City In A Bag
If Paris, London, New York or Tokyo is close to your friends heart, you can give a little bit of that city to them! Small wood models of landmark buildings in a bag with a handkerchief map of the city to place the toys on! A fun way to remember that favorite place, and a great deal at just $15.
Available at MUJI stores or online from the MoMA store
2. Wet Suit Bag
Beach vacations are fun, but if that swimsuit doesn't dry out before you get going, unpacking can be a messy, smelly and sometimes mildewy mess. Flight 001 offers a special bag just for this problem. Specially treated to keep itself clean, its a handy way to keep the wet stuff away from your dry, clean clothes. Just $12 too
Available at Flight 001
3. Crown Room Club Membership
Maybe your special someone is a road warrior for work. Delays at the airport can make for a miserable time. But having lounge access can certainly help! Crown Room Clubs are good deals too with an open bar for the travelers. And now that three month memberships are available at just $90 a person, it won't break the bank either!
Available at Delta.com
4. Travel
Why not just give your travel loving friends, the gift he really wants? More travel! You don't need to fork out hundreds of dollars either to get them someplace special, just a little gift here or there to help them along the way. Many airlines sell them, including American Airlines and JetBlue for as little as $50.00! Cruise Lines also offer them as well, like Royal Caribbean and Carnival.
