Amalfi, Italy
Get inspired
Most everyone loves a good coffee table book, and beautiful ones like these make lovely gifts. Ā Iām particularlyĀ fond of the Italy bookĀ by the famous photographer Grey Malin. Jake and I stayed in the charming village of Positano, pictured on front cover. It will make anyone reading it dream of an Italian vacation!
Get comfy
1. Frame denim jacket | 2. Vuori joggersĀ | 3. Cashmere scarf | 4. Superga sneakersĀ | 5. Cozy socks | 6. Swell bottle | 7. Bose earphones | 8. Charlotte Tilbury face mask | 9. ATM tee | 10. Herbivore face mist | 11. Valentino sandals
These Vuori joggers have been a huge hit and everyone is loving them – I highly, highly recommend you grab a pair or two! You will wonder how you lived without joggers! For long flights, I bringĀ this pillow, and on our last trip, I tried this inflatable foot restĀ which ended up not really working out for me (but you might like it)!Ā Ā This cashmere silk scarfĀ is a favorite at home, and I bring it on every trip, along with these cozy socks.Ā IfĀ no one is looking, try this face maskĀ on the plane for a quick 15 minutes. I heard it works wonders and helps you look refreshed when you land!
Durable luggage, a tote and a passport holder are key
I personally love CALPAKĀ suitcases because of the pretty colors offered, the reasonable prices and the ease of finding it inĀ baggage claim. Iāve written about them here. Ā Longchamp is known for durability, and this tote gets 5 star reviews. Ā Lastly, having a zip-around passport holder is so handy. I wanted this one before our Italy trip but it wasnāt available, so itās once again in my shopping bag!
How to pack cosmetics and jewelry
Talk about traveling in style! Iāve had my eye on these personalized mini jewelry cases, and they come in many colors and monogramming options. This cosmetic organizer is amazing and and has served its purpose nicely on all the trips Iāve taken lately.Ā This cosmetic case is a little prettier, and would be a perfect gift especially as a set with the CALPAK suitcase.Ā Anyone would be thrilled with any of these useful travel items!
Packing Cubes
I know, I know I keep going on and on about these. Just yesterday someone asked me if I honestly really love them. The answer? YES! I canāt say enough about them. If you donāt own packing cubes youāre missing out! Ā They help keep you organized, the amount of things you can fit in your suitcase is incredible, and they make a great gift. I own these, and I purchased these for my son. He dutifully uses them now and says heāll never go back to ājust throwing things in his suitcase.ā Ha! Happy travels.
Travel minis
Travel minis might be one of my favorite things to purchase, and not just for travel. They make amazing stocking stuffers for any of our loved ones. And, if youāve been wanting to try something new, purchasing a body cream or fragrance in a smaller size (bonus: less expensive) is a great idea! There are many options, see them all here.
