holiday travel gift guide: the kiddos

travel-holiday-gift-guide-children
christmas is literally next week…are you ready?  just in case, i have a few more gift guides up my sleeve.  i would have loved to have posted these earlier, but i actually do have a day job (shocking, i know).  this week: the kiddos!  i had so much fun putting this one together because the thought of inspiring kids to travel is such a great one.  i still remember my first travel journal i wrote during a trip to disneyland with my cousins and aunt and uncle – i still read it!  these gifts will have children dreaming of faraway lands in no time, and realizing there are different cultures than just their own.  bon voyage!

holiday travel gift guide: your mother

travel-holiday-gift-guide-mother-mom

1. bedandbreakfast.com gift card, any denomination  2. tory burch olea floral mix pom pom scarf, $165  3. sugar paper cabana stripe notebook, $16  4. travel america calendar, $26  5. the original flea bag, $440  6. julia child’s ‘my life in france,’ $16

the holiday gift guides continue (check out tuesday’s guide for your best girlfriend), with today’s finds for the women in your life: moms, grandmas, sisters, etc.  while a couple of the items are splurges, i just couldn’t resist adding them – especially the flea bag tote that i spotted in denver last year and had to track down.  for more reasonably priced travel-themed goods, check out the ‘travel america’ calendar (i may add this to my own wish list), and julia child’s “my life in france,” which i am reading now and cannot put down.  mrs. child remembers her time spent living in france after the war, and her adventures in cooking for the first time.  if we could all have the joie de vivre of mrs. child – how much fun it would all be!  finally, a favorite of mine is the bedandbreakfast.com gift card.  this is just forcing someone to take a weekend jaunt somewhere.  how luxurious.  happy giving!
