Best Last Minute Gift for the Beach Bum

Do you have a beach lover on your holiday list?  Who doesn't love the beach, right?  Well here's the perfect last minute gift--Dune Jewelry's Digital Gift Card.   Dune's jewelry is not only beautiful, it's meaningful, even aspirational.  Can't go to Tahiti this year?  Well, you can wear the sand from Tahitian beaches and transport yourself with a glance.  Even better--you've been to Fiji and brought back some sand.  Now you can have your own little time capsule.

The applications for this jewelry are as endless as your imagination.  I'm totally in love with this concept.  Dune Jewelry has the most gorgeous, unique and fabulous gifts for the traveler, the outdoorsy person, and people who appreciate the one-of-a-kind.   For people living in colder climates, how fun is that to have a piece of the beach for comfort all winter?   If your New Year's resolution is to go to Cote d'Azure, how cool would it be to wear the sand until the trip, like a talisman?

Each piece is custom made with your own sand that you send in, or from Dune's sand bank, with sand from all over the world.  It's solid, well made jewelry that feels wonderful in your hand.  It comes packaged beautifully in a box with a small description. 

While I think the presentation would be much better with the actual jewelry, timed just right--it's not too late to give an awesome and meaningful gift.  Get yours HERE.

Travelon Colorful Gifts for Travelers

Need stocking stuffers for your favorite traveler?  Check out these colorful new Zig Zag bag tags from Travelon.  Aren't they fun?  Wouldn't it be cool to get these along with some plane tickets?  A girl can dream.  Something like this can help you find your black bag, even if it's a carry-on, you'll spot it faster in the overhead bin, and make it less likey someone else will grab it by mistake. 

On a more serious note, Travelon's Safe ID Colorblock RFID Wallet will keep your identity and credit card information secure.  Since your passport, id, credit cards, etc, are chipped with RFID (radio frequency identification that are broadcast), the bad guys can use a scanner to get your personal info and get into accounts, steal your identification, etc.  So now we need RFID blocking wallets to keep our info safe.  Ridiculous, right?  But if you don't do this, someone walking past you with a scanner can cause some serious mayhem for you, better to play it safe. 

Travelon's leather Colorblock Wallet is black and unassuming on the outside, and cheery green, yellow and blue on the inside, it's a great looking wallet and would make a substantial gift for the traveler.  Thirteen slots hold your license, and credit cards, and there's a space for your passport.  There's a zippered coin compartment that would be great for separating currencies, and has all the features you want in your everyday wallet, with the added bonus of peace of mind.

3 Gifts for Travelers

For the sentimental traveler:  This Compass Necklace from Uncommon Goods is meaningful and really cute.  The detailing makes it feminine and your choice of "Find Your Way" or "Follow Your Heart" makes it personal.  What a cool talisman for the traveler!  Much much cooler looking in person, hand made and sterling silver, this would be a great surprise in the stocking. 

For the practical traveler:  Eagle Creek's new Specter Packing Cubes are fabulous.  They are paper thin, but strong and they hold way more than what it might seem.  They come in white, a bright green (strobe) and orange and they are all opaque so you can see contents.  These will be in our stockings this year, and I will be color coding as well--green for me, orange for my son and maybe some clear for the inflight tote.  For backpacking or camping they would work great because they are so light and the fabric would slip in and out of backpacks with ease.  They come in sets of three and are also sold individually.

These are the type of thing that you didn't realize you needed until you have it, then you can't live without it.  I like them much better than the older style packing cubes because they are lighter, the fabric is very easy to slide in and out and they work kind of like space bags.  Must have for the organizational types and if you happen to be stressed out by holiday travel, pick some of these up and it will likely ease your mind just to have it all so together.

For those who need a way to keep all those gadget cords organized for travel, check out G.U.S's new Cord Roll.  It's made from recycled cotton and has a space for your computer cords, tablet cord and charger, and phone paraphernalia.  I almost wish it didn't have labels--maybe you don't have a tablet for instance--but it works and the lettering does look good.  I'm a little bit obsessed with organization, so stuff like this thrills me and I think it's also useful at home, not just for travel.
