Creative Holiday Gift Guide

-1

Me at around age 2 I think

I know how busy the holidays are and how annoying it can be trying to find the perfect gift for friends. So, I did the searching for you. Below you will find a compilation of unique & creative gifts sorted by interests and personalities (traveler, athlete and/or sports fan /professional/fashionista /martha stewart and boyfriend). Everything on the list is under $100 except one item. Happy Holidays!

For the:

An absolute must-have travel essential. Available in leopard and zebra print.

2. Kill Time Activity Book

May sound a little “lame” at first, but how many times have you (or your traveling friend) been stuck taxiing for 2 hours in the plane or delayed in a terminal chair and unable to get on wi-fi? It’s small and packer-friendly!

The coolest book ever. You’re supposed to answer questions about your own life on the pages, however my boyfriend turned it into a game. When he travels, he asks his new friends to fill out 3 pages.
