You know I love putting together these gift guides, right?! So since I’m headed out of town this weekend (more on our trip later!) I thought it would be perfect timing to round up a few gift ideas for the jet setter on your list.
I’m very particular when it comes to my travel necessities – I like to have everything I need readily available! Insert my passport (one must have a cute passport cover), eye mask for the plane (I have this Iluminage one but also thought this one is cute, too), a neck pillow for long journeys, and earrphones (I will literally buy a new pair of earrphones if I forget mine). Two of my besties have this Tumi carry on and it’s officially on my Christmas wish list!
I always like to include a face mist and eye mask when I travel in case I need to hydrate on the flight. I find this especially helpful when traveling to Europe – it always helps me feel refreshed after stepping off a long flight! Last but not least, I picked up these “To Wear” and “To Wash” travel bag set from Shopbop last week to help keep my dirty laundry separated from my clean stuff! Aren’t they so cute?
Shop my favorite travel gifts below! And pssstttt! Don’t forget about all the other great gift guides I’ve put together this year! You can view them all on my ‘holiday’ tab!

When it comes to holiday plaid, there are a select few retailers I visit first: Mark and Graham, Tuckernuck, Williams-Sonoma, and Pottery Barn. If my mom taught me anything, it’s that the more plaid – the better. Did you see my roundup of holiday plaid blankets and pillows for your home? So many goodies! From plaid blankets to tartan plaid coffee mugs, your home can never have enough holiday plaid during the holidays!
I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite products you can incorporate into your decor as well as your wardrobe.
My mom’s a teacher so I got her this tartan plaid tote for school.
For the wine snob on your list, I love love love these plaid wine bags!
I personally want either this plaid clutch or this plaid cosmetic case.
I have a plaid Barbour scarf and am obsessed. Also love this option with the monogram.
How cute are these Sperry duck boots?
Last but not least, this plaid mini skirt is perfect for the holidays.

If you’re just tuning in, I launched my annual gift guide series last week! Today we’re talking stocking stuffers under $25 dollars. Growing up my mom always had a huge stocking full of little goodies. For whatever reason, I always loved unwrapping little gifts. Stocking stuffers don’t need to be expensive – it’s always the thought that counts!
Who wouldn’t love a little Keihl’s under the tree?
I picked up this plaid holiday mug last year – still use it all of the time, especially during the holidays!
These gold-flecked votive candle holders are CHIC.
Coffee table books are a no brainer stocking stuffer. Take a peek at my book worm gift guides from 2013 and 2014 – many of these Amazon links still work!
And as a FYI, there are a few ways you can shop my favorite products this season.
// 1. Each Gift Guide will include a round up of a select few products I see fit. The “+” sign next to each product is the link that will direct you straight to where you can preview/shop and buy the product. I think it’s much easier then linking at the bottom of the post!
// 2. Because I can’t include every single product in my collages I have also included a scrolling product widget at the bottom of each gift guide. Here you can view more of my favorites that aren’t highlighted in the collage.
// 3. Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest! You can shop ALL of my favorite items directly on my Pinterest page! I will have a board that correlates to each one of my gift guides – hopefully making it much easier for you all to shop!
