We Want! Fun Gifts for the Eternal Traveler

6 Comments Posted in: Away We Go, Headline | Tags: gifts for travelers, holiday gifts, holiday shopping, travel gifts for the holidays, what to buy travelers | December 10, 2009

I love gifts! I love giving and receiving. I love ripping open wrapping paper and wrapping wrapping paper. Most of all, I love the hunt for the perfect gift- but not everyone else likes searching for the “it gift” and I get that. So, I’ve been making notes just for you, the shopping impaired. Any time a cool travel related gift became available- I saved it, bookmarked it, Tumbl’ed it. And below, you can find my top favs. If you know a traveler, you might wanna consider the creme de la creme, these Traveling Anna approved gifts for the 2009 holiday season.

This Banana Republic Wrap Scarf may seem pricey at just under $40, but it works double time! It's a handy wrap for icy plane rides, and once you arrive, a double wrap around the neck will transform any tshirt into a chic outfit. www.bananarepublic.com

Books and magazines are great traveling and in-room entertainment, but weigh so much to lug around. Instead, try a reader, like this one from Sony. It's lightweight and you can either buy books via Google checkout, or "rent" from a virtual library. www.sony.com

    I got my bf the Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones for Christmas, but now I want a pair of my own!

  • Adam January 7, 2010

    So much talk of ebook readers these days. While normally I object to them, Barnes & Noble’s new Nook does seem pretty awesome.

    I wouldn’t object to a pair of Bose headsets, either.

    Thanks for the netbook advice…. I thought only ATT had them. Bose noise canceling… no other way to travel!

  • Shawn January 29, 2010

    I have a pair of Bose noise canceling headphones. They sound great and it’s completely stunning how much background noise they kill. However, the kicker is that they’re hard to sleep with on planes/trains. When I’m trying to sleep in a sitting position I tend to turn my head to one side or the other. But the headphones don’t let me turn my head sideways on to the headrest. It’s like a cruel trick that you finally can only hear your own music and relax, but can’t get comfy.

    I still love them dearly though, don’t get me wrong. In the event of a water landing I’ll be saving my headphones before I save that seat kicking son of a bitch behind me.
