If you’re shopping for someone who loves travelling, here is my ultimate gift guide, perfect for those who are travellers at heart. Of course, there are so many options out there, but these are definitely some of my favourites.
Eco-Pillow Covers are the ideal travel hack that will give you more space to pack. The Case Closed Eco-Pillow covers come in an array of designs and colours, they are reversible (printed on both sides) and above that, they’re also super cuddly while helping to free up some space in your hand luggage. They are 40cm x 28cm in size, secure with a zip and provide additional space for soft, bulky items. Or, choose to purchase the inner pillow, which most airlines won’t count as luggage. It attaches easily to your luggage with a small strap that slides over the bag trolley handle. You can also buy it as part of a set, which includes a matching suitcase cover. Shop here.
A pair of sneakers is the one thing I can’t travel without, which is why it’s only natural for me to add two options in this gift guide. These sneakers from Fitflop are ideal for airport strides, as well as for trendy outings along the Stellenbosch Wine Route.
Or, ignite that special someone’s wanderlust with sneakers from Cole Haan. A mix between precision engineering, heritage craft details and old-school style, the GrandPro Wellesley Runner Sneaker is the perfect pair of sneakers for a fashion-conscious traveller.
Speaking of this exceptional brand (with a shop at Sandton City), they also have some great tote bags worth looking at if you’re looking for a special gift for a special traveller. Check out their Essentials Tote Bag here.
The Crossbody bag from Thule’s latest range, the Paramount Collection is also a great gift for travellers who enjoy exploring. It’s stylish, modern and will undoubtedly complement your style while allowing you to carry your essentials with you wherever you go.
