Some great travel gifts for woman. I personally find packing cubes and a hook on your toiletry bag is a must.
Yes me too! Especially the compression cubes.
Hi! I admit I have most of the things you mention and, you are right, they make great gifts for all travelers. However, I miss the packable rainbow jacket which is such a great idea! I spent the last 5 months in a tropical place and it would have been so useful for the unexpected rain pours!
So glad that you have most of these things and find them useful. The packable rain jacket is wonderful!
I love your gift guide for travelers. I just realized that there are still great things to pack when traveling and this list is what we need as our packing checklist now before going on another trip together! The rain jacket you suggested, which folds up into a small package so it’s easy to carry around or tuck away in the luggage? I also really liked the compact toiletry bag because sometimes hotels don’t provide enough space inside their bathrooms plus bringing something like this makes sure everything has its own place no matter how big an international journey may become. Great idea – perfect addition with all of those long flights ahead ๐
I swear by my Birks. Theyโre sooooo comfortable. I spent a week and a half walking all over Spain in them, and didnโt once worry about sore feet or blisters. Comfortable shoes are a must. I also never travel without my battery cell! Great list here.
Thanks, Clarice! Glad you’ve stocked up on some of these essentials ๐
All of these, YES! I am currently researching socks and I just found the pair I need! Thank you!
