Here’s our follow-up to Part 1 of our Gift Guide, just in time for Black Friday shopping and last-minute deals.
Watch for these (online and in stores):
- Portable Chargers: The Juice Eco 3 allows you to go from 0% to 50% in just 50 minutes, avoiding crowded airport chargers and any risks, as noted by the FBI, compromising your security. Be careful when plugging in!
- Points: Know someone’s favorite hotel brand and want to send them on a getaway they can choose? Nearly every loyalty program including Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy allow you to send points directly to others allowing them full flexibility on how they spend their holiday. This allows the recipient to earn and maintain their highly coveted status and being that the gift is sent electronically, fits in even the smallest of carry-on suitcases.
- Priority Pass: Have someone extra special in your life that you want to give the VIP treatment to? Three levels of membership of the airport lounge (the perfect place for both work and play) access are available for the traveler in your life. They can enjoy it at over 1600 different airports across the globe. Just make sure the recipient doesn’t already have access. And have them read our article to learn about our top lounge choices!
- Retreat or Conference Ticket: Ephi, our food and lifestyle editor, recommends giving yourself or others the gift of peace and knowledge with a retreat or conference such as The Art of Badassery Retreat in Italy. Find someone’s passion area and send them on the experience of a lifetime. You can easily use ChatGPT for suggestions based on their topic of interest and location.
- Sustainable Carry-On: Denise, our earth-friendly editor, loves Paravel’s Aviator Carry-On, which is durable, fashionable, and made of recycled, sustainably sourced materials. Paravel even offsets the estimated CO2 emissions of your first trip with every purchase!
- Travel-Related Subscription: Whether it’s Conde Nest or Travel + Leisure, unleash the adventurer with either an annual on-the go-digital printed subscription that will keep the traveler you know informed and inspired.
Finally, as we approach the end of the year, the biggest gift we truly feel is presence. Whether that’s being there physically or virtually via Zoom and Facetime, make the most of this season and spend time with the people who matter most.
Happy Holidays from the entire Bleisure Living team!
