Add Adventure to the Holidays With Specialty Travel Gifts |
Pack those bags! This year, it's all about the getaway! Travel gifts add a sense of adventure to the holidays -- whether the trip starts next week or next summer. For the best gifts, go to the experts: you'll find the most unique travel clothing and accessories online and in specialty catalogs.
The best place to start your search is www.shopthenet.org, the online shopping portal operated by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA). "Advances in fabrics and technology are increasing the sophistication of travel products," says Amy Blankenship, director of DMA's Shop@Home Information Center. "Top travel Web sites and catalogs offer the very latest in comfort and safety for today's travelers."
Chart that course with perfect products from Magellan's, the ultimate travel catalog (www.magellans.com). Heading South? The Solarveil Cover-up blocks UV rays and looks great. Their Vineyard Haven hats do the same. Turning North? Magellan's Raincoat is lightweight and roomy, and it blocks both wind and weather. For those long flights in-between, the 100% silk DreamSack Travel Blanket is warm and packable. Pair it with the Cloud-Soft Inflatable Pillow, and a Folding Foot Rest for on-board comfort!
Sahalie is all about adventure (www.sahalie.com). These folks know what works outdoors. Like their ButterFleece Zip-T: cool enough for morning jogs, warm enough for chilly evenings. Add a Zipper Pull Watch with digital clock and LED strobe, and head out for a nighttime trek. Their Tipped Berber Crew is the perfect fall/winter layer, thanks to its insulating Berber pile. And under those hiking boots? "Wild Thangs" -- socks made of warm, wicking Polartec fleece in funky colors like snowfall, haze, and banana -- the perfect way to keep feet happy!
Worried about how far they'll roam the U.S.? Keep them tethered with a NET10 cell phone (www.NET10.com). They can talk when they want, where they want: it's always 10 cents a minute (5 cents for text messaging). Local, long distance, and roaming charges are all included. Choose 300, 600, 1800, or 3000 minute cards. And each card shows them how many minutes and days of service they get. Plus, their minutes will carryover with active service. Now, they have no excuse not to keep in touch!
Treat those world travelers to world-class fashions from Norm Thompson (www.normthompson.com). He'll love the feel of his Sorrel Goatsuede Jacket. It's the cashmere of suedes -- supple and buttery -- and it won't weigh him, or his suitcase, down! They'll both treasure their hand-knit Fisherman Sweaters from Scotland: hers is double-breasted, his is a pullover. And her Geiger Boiled Wool Coat is perfect for holiday visits. Geiger quality is world-famous; this coat, a Norm Thompson exclusive!
You can trust Solutions (www.SolutionsCatalog.com) to have practical problem-solvers for everyone's travel needs. Their Zipper Boarding Pass/ID Holder keeps important travel documents front and center: it hangs around your neck. The Cosmetic Organizer holds a lot of make-up, hair products, and includes a detachable jewelry pouch. The Slim CD/DVD Case packs in a minimum of space, and protects up to 120 CDs. And their compact Organizer Handbag holds cell phone, glasses, checkbook -- and everything in her wallet, too! |
