She Creates Interesting Women-friendly Travel Gifts
For your girlfriend...
For
your best pal who hasn't yet mastered
the art of travelling by herself, I propose flight attendant,
Sharon Wingler's book, Travel Alone and Love It.
This book is available online at: http://www.travelaloneandloveit.com
and it will provide encouragement and know-how galore. Your
girlfriend will also enjoy, Without Reservations, The
Travels of an Independent Woman by Pulitzer prize winner,
Alice Steinbach. Add a multi-purpose, multi-length, wrinkleproof,
quick drying Macabi Skirt™ designed for the
adventurous women on the go and you've created a
truly inspirational gift (http://www.macabiskirt.com/).
For your student
niece...
Treat
the young woman who adores outdoor adventures to
Women in the Wild, a Travelers' Tales Guide edited
by Lucy McCauley. Whether she dreams of a Canadian snow
shoe adventure, hiking in Nepal or being on an Amazon jungle
trek your niece is sure to make room for this read in her
backpack. Want to really win her over? Include a female-friendly
Sierra Designs sleeping bag. The Rosa 2.0 model is
designed to reflect the contours of a woman's body
and provides extra insulation for the "cold spots"
(abdomen and feet) that females generally complain about
(http://www.sierradesigns.com).
This will be a dynamite duo!
For your youngest
Journeywomen...
I
recommend the delightful
Fodor's guidebook series designed especially for children
to share with their parents. My personal favorite is Around
Toronto With Kids authored by Kate Pocock. Your JourneyGirls
will enjoy the trivia quizzes, kid-friendly restaurant listings
and special interest directories that the whole family can
use together. Match that book with a funky cosmetic bag,
a small hairbrush, a mirror, some real trendy hair ornaments
so she can dress up while she's on a journey and you have
a friend for life!
We can't leave
out the guys...
For
the sweet man in your life I suggest the title, Travellers
Health: How to Stay Healthy Abroad -- a wonderful resource
by Dr. Richard Dawood. This guide includes advice on
everything from preparing food under unhygienic conditions to
information about vaccinations when travelling abroad as well
as the topic of terrorism.
Now
add the following very "hot" gift and your guy will love you
forever. Leatherman offers a pocket-sized series of
all-in-one contemporary stainless steel multi-tools. Journeywoman
loves their new Juice series in bright, primary colors. Check
for the S2 scissors unit in orange or the CS4 corkscrew and
scissors model in blue.
P.S.
Be sure to remind the recipient to pack his Leatherman
in his checked luggage. It's much too terrific to have some
official take it away during a customs check. Visit: http://www.leatherman.com
for further information and the dealer nearest you.
