Everyone is saying to get your Christmas shopping done early – cue the panic from this procrastinator! Aside from being great at planning vacations 😉, I pride myself on my gift-giving. I love thoughtfully picking out the perfect gift, whether it’s something my loved one knew they wanted, or something completely random with a deeper meaning. I look forward to holidays and birthdays all year long for this very reason! Seriously, I hope this is something someone mentions in my eulogy 😂.
Enter: my very first gift guide, a carefully curated list of items any frequent flyer, chronic wanderluster or travel aficionado (i.e. me) will love. Husband, take notes!
The Best in Tech
Cheap Headphones | $12.99
Hear me out. If there’s one thing I’ve lost while traveling more than phone chargers, it’s headphones. In the era of AirPods, old-fashioned earbuds might seem like a thing of the past, that is until you board a brand-new 737 with an in-flight entertainment system that requires a wired listening headphones. Save the travel day with a 5-pack of cute, practical buds!
Kindle Fire | $139.99
I take my Kindle Fire on every trip. Not only does it serve as a mini computer if you need to do a quick search, but you can also download games, books and streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. On every pre-trip to-do list, I download my favorite TV shows and movies so I’m never left without entertainment in airports or in flight.
Ring Doorbell | $99.99
Give your traveler the peace of mind that their home is still standing and their house sitter actually shows up! The Ring Doorbell connects to your phone to give a live look at the comings and goings on your front porch.

The only thing more important than your home itself is the furball that lives inside it! A Furbo allows your traveler to use a camera to see their pet, talk to it and even launch treats.
GoPro Hero 10 | $499.99
This is a splurge that your loved one will love for years to come! The GoPro captures high-quality images and videos, can hang during even the wildest adventures and is compatible with TONS of accessories like head straps, tripods and yes, selfie sticks. Did I mention it’s waterproof?!
