We are officially less than a week away from Christmas! Can you believe it? I know I can’t!
If your schedule is anything like mine, you’ve spent the past month scrambling from point A to point B. Now, You may have found yourself in the dreaded category of “last minute shopping”. Don’t cue the panic attack quite yet! I’ve compiled a list of Last-Minute Gifts for the Traveler in your life! I’ve vetted the internet and as of today 12/19/2019 all of these items are still available to be ordered and delivered by Christmas!
See Last Minute Gift Guide Below!
1) Packing cubes: an absolute must have for both the occasional and frequent traveler. Provides the ability to save space within your suitcase with ease. I snagged this set off Amazon earlier this year and will never go back to not using Packing Cubes again! Here are a few options available from Amazon:
1) OEE Luggage Organizers ($16.99)
2) eBags Classic Packing Cubes ($29.99)
2) iPhone lightening to USB chargers (6ft): These are great for both home and travel use. I often find myself in hotel rooms where the outlet is absolutely nowhere near the bed. An extra long charger can be a lifesaver in situations such as these. I also use one at home in my bedroom and behind the couch. Here are several options:
1) Amazon Brand 3 pack ($10.95)
2) Apple sold via Amazon ($23.00)
3) Apple.com ($29.00)
3) Travel Jewelry Organizer ($19.95): There is absolutely nothing worse than arriving to your destination with all of your necklaces tangled and your jewelry in disarray. I added this quilted travel jewelry organizer from Amazon to my Christmas List this year! Its’ compact, soft padded casing allows you to keep your jewelry protected while on the go!
4) Travel Makeup Case ($29.99): I’ve said it before, I’m a bag lady. That includes traveling with multiple small cosmetic bags everywhere I go. In an attempt to cut down on what I am lugging from place to place, I put this travel makeup bag on my wish list this year. It’s soft casing allows it to travel well and fit easily inside your suitcase or bag. It comes with adjustable dividers so you can customize it specifically to your own needs.
5) Sleek and Sturdy Luggage: Ya’ll know I’m a huge fan of Away Luggage but I was in Macy’s last night and came across Delsey luggage marked down 50% with an additional 15% using the code GIFT!! I almost walked away with an entirely new luggage set! The 360 degree spinner wheels, stylish leather trim and hard casing makes this luggage an “absolute yes” for anyone on your list! Here it is available at both:
1) Macy’s ($220.99)
2) Amazon ($186.45)
6) Portable charger: nothing is worse than being on the go and finding yourself in a situation where you are unable to charge your phone or other electronics. The compact size makes this a perfect solution for any Jet-setter. Here are two options available from Amazon:
1)POWERADD Slim Battery Pack ($12.99)
2) Anker PowerCore 20100 Power Bank ($36.99)
7) Neck Pillow ($21.99): I cannot tell you the amount of times I have been rushing through the airport and thought to myself “Wow I really wish I had packed a neck pillow for this trip”. While airports sell neck pillows, they tend to be overpriced and I never end up purchasing one. This kit includes: a neck pillow, ear plugs and contoured eye mask. Keep your loved-ones neck from getting stiff by gifting a Neck Pillow this holiday season!
8) Carry-on Stylish Backpack: Confession.. I’ve been using my college backpack for all of my traveling since graduation. This year I asked for a backpack that would give my overall travel look a sleeker vibe while also offering the space and functionality I have always gotten from my NorthFace backpack. This Calpak backpack will fit a laptop and is available at Nordstrom with Christmas Eve delivery!
9) Mario Badescu Facial Spritz: Let’s get real, whether you are jet-setting or a road warrior, you typically arrive at your destination looking much worse than you left. This refreshing spray can bring your face back to life, refreshing your makeup and giving your skin an extra dose of moisture (no thank you recycle air from planes, trains and automobiles!)
10) Tula Glow & Get It Brightening Eye Balm: I swear by this stuff. I use it every morning and throughout the day to refresh my under eye. Wake up late or have an early morning flight? Have no fear! This stick will go to work removing the appearance of bags and immediately brighten up your face! This would also make a great stocking stuffer! I typically order my Tula products directly from Tula.com but in order to ensure you will have it by Christmas, here it is available from:
1) Amazon
2) ULTA.com. (Also available in most ULTA stores)
3) Tula.com
Merry Christmas!
