On my travels, I’ve learned about necessary and unnecessary items. Too many times I’ve had to squish everything in one bag leading to me either paying for the extra weight of an overstuffed bag or my arm falling off because it’s just too heavy to carry.
However, you can eliminate unnecessary things if you’re gifted with the right items to help make your travels less of a struggle! Below are a few items to gift the girl who loves to travel.
Cole Haan
The global lifestyle travel brand has amazing shoes, bags and jewelry for the girl on the go with comfort and style in mind. The Gold GrandPrø Tennis Sneaker has my eyes all full of sparkle as the shoe embodies everything I love when traveling - effortlessly chic comfort. And if handbags are more your woman’s style, then grab a beautiful leather weekender bag or a commuter bag so she can be prepped on her travels.
Price: Shoes start at $130, GrandPrø Tennis Sneaker $150

Meeting TSA requirements, you can put this in your carry on or an overnight weekend trip bag because honestly, you will sweat on your travels and you’ll want to smell nice.

MVMT Hermosa Watch
Time is important - you have to keep track, especially when going across time zones. Why not get your traveling girl a watch?! MVMT Watches come in a variety of styles and colors. You can interchange straps and it’s water resistant up to 3 ATM. My personal favorite is the Hermosa Rose Gold watch but no matter which one you pick, she’ll be happy!
And aside from watches, you can also grab some awesome sunnies. Look cool on any beach!
Price: Starting at $115 for the watches
Kate Spade Carry On Bags
Travel in style and with a bag that provides the space you need. The cases have adjustable straps, wheels, exterior zipper compartments and look good. If you can’t grab a suitcase this christmas, a passport holder is nice as well. The designs are extremely cute and some can even be customized with a monogram.

Meze Headphones
Since planes no longer give out free earbuds or headphones (what the heck?), you have to remember to bring your own buds. Save space, hear your music like never before and add a bit of style to your travel attire. The Meze Headphone earbuds lets you hear music like never before. Crystal clear quality that lets you feel every time the base drops. The best part, the buds don’t even irritate the ears!
